Bug 793 – New Ebuild: Xdialog

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Seemant Kulleen 2002-02-21 01:03:49 UTC]

Hello again to my Gentoo friends,

Here is an ebuild for xdialog, which is designed as a drop-in replacement for
cdialog.  It puts dialog based things in a nice GTK interface, and uses trees in
the directory display, making it visually more appealing than dialog in a term.

Thing is, the project homepage seems to be down (I have e-mailed the author
about that), so currently the SOURCE_URI points to Debian's repository for its
unstable branch.  Also, it is my feeling that most packages in Gentoo are
lowercased.  That's why I named this xdialog instead of Xdialog.  And that's why
I set a P= in the ebuild itself.  If I am wrong about that, then this package
really should be named Xdialog instead, and the P= can be removed. When I hear
from the author I will make a note in this bug report.

Thanks again,

Seemant

Xdialog  ebuild file

[Comment 2 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) 2002-02-21 14:02:58 UTC]

just set S as follows:
S=${WORKDIR}/Xdialog-${PV}
Then remove the P definition which shouldn't be there.  Resubmit this and I'll
forward it to someone.

Hello Again,

As per Dr. Robbins' instruction, I have adjusted the ebuild file to remove P=
and change the S=.  Note to Dr. Robbins: thank you for having me do that myself,
because now that is in my head.  I have run across that issue several times, and
I finally realised how to fix it.  I appreciate you letting me learn :)

Thanks,

Seemant

Well dang it; I did a resync before submitting my ebuild for Xdialog.  This
guy's ebuild still doesn't show up.
The ebuild can be cleaned up a bit.  The compile and install routines are
simple, although he does check for nls which is good.

src_compile() {
   econf  || die "configure fail"
   emake || die
}

src_install () {
   make DESTDIR=${D} install || die
}
