hi

i've been compiling some packages from
http://drobilla.net/

including lilv, they are written in Python. So I've been using

new2dir ./waf install

this installs to system but creates useless PETs which only contain broken links. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, can new2dir just compile to dir without installing on system?

I don't remember where in the blog, Barry has written that on Precise puppy version there is a bug on DevX (missing something) and new2dir don't work all right.
But i don't find the post!

I'm using Polarpup 005 which is like lucid, I have a suspicion that I just need to set parameter of new2dir ?

sorry, i don't know, with lucid 5.2.5 seems allright;
i think is something missed on devx (as in Barry blog post), but i not sure, and i don't believe the new2dir script has changed.

thanks for the answer, and especially Karl Godt for the script.

Will check next time I have a go at compiling Python things.

OK, found a typo in my script example :

started with "pet_dir" and had switched to "petdir" .. Embarassed

correcting it now .

new2dir doesn't seem to work with scons either

new2dir scons install

http://www.scons.org/

will try Karl's script

src2pkg handles both waf and scons, plus many others.
