[Xnee-devel] Fw: xnee package

[Josh Dukes]

I sent the source for the package to Ross, but he had some problems
with it. I did notice the same thing, but I didn't realize it was an
issue. In order to build it I had to use pbuilder
--use-pdebuild-internal. It seems like this should be fixed upstream
rather than by me.

The diff looks good (although very strangely formatted -- did debuild
create it?) but when I tried to built it myself it failed:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/ross/Local/mess/19/xnee-3.02/doc'
mkdir -p /usr/share/xnee
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/share/xnee': Permission denied

The Makefile.am is buggy (well, it's plain wrong).  The problem is that
it calls mkdir -p $(docdir) but that should be mkdir -p
$(DESTDIR)$(docdir).  You'll want to patch the Makefile.am and
Makefile.in so that when configure runs this fix fixed.
