OTOH, I don't want to just install the prerequisite modules because coda itself might fail to build, and then the installation is surely inconsistent. Sorry, I didn't follow what you were trying to do. I just do build/install of each package in the chain. If the .so version changes, then the old one is there, and if not then it must be ABI compatible (right Jan??)... I haven't lost from installing new lwp/rpc2/rvm libraries - all the pain is in venus anyway. But seriously, I know that's living a bit dangerously, but tarring up of /usr/local/coda goes a long way to be able to back out. You might also try building .debs in a chroot. I build packages that way on NetBSD (pkgsrc/pkg_tools/{pkg_comp,pkg_chk} automate most of this). I'm pretty sure that the --with-lwp-includes option and friends are exactly what I need. You'll also need to get libtool to link against the .la from the source tree, and then repoint them on install, I think, to fully get what you want.Received on 2005-05-28 11:09:17
