Comment(by augiedoggie):
Not to drag this ticket off topic, but...
I don't think the 'distro' technique used by haikuporter is ever going to
work for all packages. It is currently substituting 'make install' for
'make install DESTDIR=/path'. Not all packages use make for the build
system, of those, not all are going to respect the DESTDIR variable, and
some packages require some fine tuning after the 'make install' portion is
completed(graphviz comes to mind). I think it would be too much work to
change every package to work like this.
The real solution would be to port something like
checkinstall/installwatch or a similar utility and incorporate that into
the haikuporter script. I had a go at porting installwatch several months
ago, but, it didn't get along nicely with the Haiku runtime_loader. :(
