how to compile mruby for system-wide installation ?

[shirish]

hi all,
How do I compile mruby for system-wide installation.

I gitted it from here :-

https://github.com/mruby/mruby

I have the pre-requisites ruby and bison installed (as shared in https://github.com/mruby/mruby/blob/master/INSTALL) .

Now whether I do make as in :-

I get the same output. I don't think there is a change in either of the ways.

Looking forward to know more.

Why do you want to install it system wide? As you might know, the common way of doing this in debian is using packages, so you might want to consider following this guide, or just packaging it manualy yourself.

[Pablo_Esc]

Package is the way to go, but if you want to do it the messy way - move all dirs contents (bin, include, lib) to corresponding directories in /usr/

user$ wnpp-check mruby
mruby (ITP - #697835)

The ITP, comment 20
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepor ... 3697835#20
gives a link:
https://github.com/organizations/mruby-debian
but it is "dead".
Perhaps an email to the developer Nobuhiro Iwamatsu and asking what happened to the github link (well: or just another comment to the ITP).

shirish: as you made the comments to the ITP yourself i assume you got a reason why you want to install it the way you do (and not like proposed in the ITP). Like already said: i don't know how to do what you are asking for.
I just spoke with someone about it in IRC, and i am not sure if it has been you (if yes, then my post is superfluous).

I am pretty sure that i am overseeing something obvious (but can't find it). ruby is weird.
Don't be mad at me. I hesitated to post at all, as it ain't of much use. But i doubt there are many here who know about ruby ( i think you are asking at the wrong place).
