scons build on debian

Hmm, the install-docs, install-examples, install-includes, install-plugins etc all complain about the missing directory and then do nothing after I create it.

As far as I can see, the other targets are aliased to the correct directories:

defenv.Alias('install', '$PREFIX')

defenv.Alias('install-docs', '$PREFIX/NSIS.chm')

defenv.Alias('install-docs', '$PREFIX/Docs')

defenv.Alias('install-examples', '$PREFIX/Examples')

defenv.Alias('install-plugins', '$PREFIX/Plugins')

defenv.Alias('install-stubs', '$PREFIX/Stubs')

defenv.Alias('install-includes', '$PREFIX/Include')
Submitted the manpage and the per-user configs patch. I'll try to get my head around scons and create a patch for installing to POSIX standard locations.

What exactly is it saying about those directories? I was talking about a case where you've already changed where it installs files in which case the aliases are out of date.

Clearly the install target doesn't install stuff when PREFIX is set. Running it without PREFIX set seems to install stuff to nsis-<version>, then convert that to a zip file and remove the directory. That sounds like a job for the dist target rather than the install target.

Try specifying a full path for PREFIX. It should only ask you to create the very top directory. At least that's how it works on Windows...

If you use `install` without specifying PREFIX, PREFIX is empty and so `install` builds the current directory which also includes the dist directory. I'll see if some nice error can be raised in this case.

Try the attached patch for Docs/src/SConscript to get rid of the style.css error.
pabs#
You are right about the full path for PREFIX thing, setting it like that works.

the Docs/src/SConscript patch gives the following error running scons install:

I'm thinking that it'd be best to just install "prefix/Docs/style.css" from Docs/style.css, and not bother with copying the .css file around.
kichik#
The latest CVS version should take the file from the build directory. You might have downloaded the old version due to the anonymous CVS lag.

Installing style.css from Docs/style.css is what I've tried in the above patch. It might have worked without ${SOURCE.dir}, but then you wouldn't know for sure if it takes it from Docs/style.css or build_dir/../style.css. The version I've uploaded to CVS works for me as opposed to the old version which didn't work on clean builds. It should work for you too.

Anonymous CVS seems to have caught up, but now I get the following error building makensisw (it built fine before). I suppose anon CVS is missing a few files 🙁 Any chance I could get read-only developer access? (my sf.net username is pabs3)

I forgot to add update.cpp and update.h. They are there now.

I'll see if something can be done with CVS.
