I'm attempting to port an irc client written in perl (called sirc) that does not have a makefile. It does however need to build a small C binary used as a terminal emulator. I've looked through several of the various ports makefiles and at this point I'm basically awash in options. :-/ The source comes with a bourne shell install script that is basically a combination of configure and a makefile. What I'd like to know is what is the preferred method of dealing with this situation? Also, there is a question as to where the final files should be installed. I'm guessing: /usr/local/bin ssfe - C binary for terminal emulation sirc - bourne shell script that starts the client /usr/local/libexec/sirc dsirc - actial client, written in perl, called by the sirc script perl scripts gzip'ed help file The above files need to be together in the same directory, libexec seems like the most likely target, although I'm open to suggestions. /usr/local/share/doc/sirc Various supplements to the man pages. Actually I'd prefer to put these in the libexec directory above (that's what the install script that comes with the source does) although I realize that the above is the normal placement, so that would be ok with me if that's what's preferred.
