[Cook] Cook 2.22 Install Problems

[Simon Clift]

Hi Folks,

FYI There were three problems when I was trying to build the RPM
for cook 2.22.  I was building into /usr/local, not the default
/usr in the aegis.spec file.

 1. During make install the directories

       /usr/local/share/cook/en/man1/
       /usr/local/lib/cook/en/LC_MESSAGES/

    were not automatically created by install script

 2. The RPM thinks that perl(host_lists.pl) is a required script
    (apparently from examining bin/cook_rsh) and complains, forcing
    an install using --nodeps

 3. The .txt, .dvi and .ps forms of the lsm, readme and release
    documentation files were not packaged automatically.  I had to 
    put those into the .spec file manually.

It's also not particularly clear how to use etc/spec.sh to generate
a new spec file to use a different prefix.  The etc/rpm-build.sh
seems to really want its own temporary build structure and not use
the one I do, so I really (think) I just want to use etc/spec.sh.
Perhaps someone could put some usage notes with the script.  (Same
goes for Aegis).

Other than that... I'm looking forward to using cook again.

Best regards
--- Simon
