Hi everybody
I may be completely out to lunch here, but I'm stumped.
Debian: I'm using debian packages for pd-0.38-4 and flext, which synaptic tells me is installed, but I can't find the flext directory. I need this info in order to try and compile xsample.
Am I just being a bonehead or is there something I'm missing?
Thanks

Hi dafydd,
There are two parts to the problem. The flext package for Debian follows the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) for Unix like operating systems. You find all development and library files in /usr/lib/libflext* and /usr/include/flext.
The second part is that I packaged the last release of flext (0.4.7), while xsample only compiles against the flext CVS version. So there is no way around to get flext from CVS too.
I am open for any help and suggestions how to improve the Debian flext package, though.
Cheers,
Guenter
Thanks

This actually also is, where flext from CVS installs as default, at least where flext is installed here on my machine. The only additional files are in /usr/bin/flext-build.sh, which is okay for the FHS, and in /usr/lib/flext/buildsys/, which might be debatable (maybe /usr/share/flext would be a better place, but I'm not that deep into the FHS and /usr/lib/flext doesn't look wrong.)

I think, flext as it is in CVS is now quite packaging-friendly and should be easy to do with "build.sh pd gcc" to build and "build.sh pd gcc install" to install. The first step will either need to be done twice, as it auto-creates some config files, or you prepare these config files for the Debs.
Then other flext-externals-packages would of course build-depend on flext being installed and use "flext-build.sh pd gcc".
I didn't yet try the "autoconf"-build-style by Tim, which could be another possibility to use when creating Debs.
Ciao

I'm not a fundamentalist on these issues, so as along as the package gets through without a warning its of with me.

This sounds reasonable. Is there a tag for checking out a stable version from CVS, or should I just take the latest ?

I can't really comment on this as good as Thomas could, but I'd take the latest version. It's called "0.5.0pre" inside flext.h

At the moment the head revision of flext in cvs can be considered as stable. Preparing the 0.5.0 release, i'm still working on versioning safety... which is really a tricky thing.
best greetings, Thomas
