Re: [office] antiword - converts the binary files from Word

there is, but it installs to the users bin and antiword directories.
i'm not very familiar with makefiles, i couldn't find a other way to install the files globally.

use the DESTDIR variable :

make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg global_install

Re: [office] antiword - converts the binary files from Word

since default arch install does not have /usr/local/bin in the path the PKGBULD should be fixed to install binaries in /usr/bin.

make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg GLOBAL_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/bin global_install

thanks
