Ipk Generation

[alizia]

Hi guys,

I'm new here as a poster, but have read this forum for a long time.
Want to make some IPKs, but don't know what to put inside.

e.g. want to make an IPK of libxml2 latest version, but the makefile is so complicated that I don't see what a "make install" really does.

Is there another way to find out?

Thank you very much!

so your compiling libxml2, make install actually installs the package, you might wanna try
$make DESTDIR="/path/to/wherever/" install
then you can tar/gzip/tar/gzip/ipk the contents where they belong

Thanks so much, bam. This way works beautifully. Great and simple.
