Solaris packaging
-----------------
To generate a Solaris package for Info-ZIP UnZip utilities,
first see the top level INSTALL and README files. Do a
"make solaris", which will automatically build two Solaris
installable package files for the package, IZunzip.
IZunzip -- Solaris installable package in directory format.
IZunzip_$(arch).pkg -- Solaris installable package in "stream" format.
Where: $(arch) := system architecture, currently i386, sparc, or ppc.
(use "uname -p" to determine)
The ".pkg" file is a single file datastream that can be compressed
and/or ftp'd. This is the recommended form, because all required
files are resident in the archive, and it is easily distributed.
To install, simply:
1) copy the package to the target system's /tmp directory.
2) login or su to root
3) pkgadd -d /tmp/IZunzip_$(arch).pkg
4) add /opt/Info-ZIP/IZunzip/bin to PATH
5) add /opt/Info-ZIP/IZunzip/man to MANPATH
This works for both SPARC and x86.
Ongoing maintenance:
Keep the files, "prototype" and "pkginfo.in" up to date.
Observe variable substitutions made by "Makefile".
See manpages for pkginfo(1), pkginfo(4), pkgmk(1), pkgproto(1)
Variations:
If you wish the base directory to be set to something other than
/opt/Info-ZIP, change the setting BASEDIR in pkginfo.in and
re-run the make.
