Linux .tar.bz2 packages are made by building the executable, stripping it and packing the directory with needed files. I usually hand-edit Makefile and change the paths, so that user can simply type: make install after unpacking it. Here are few things to remember (a simple reminder for me): 1. Change ginstall to install in Makefile I build packages on Slackware and it detects ginstall, which isn't available on most newer versions of other distributions. In fact, I think ginstall was from my old Mandrake 9.0. It doesn't matter where it came from, just to remove it. 2. Exclude TIFF library when building FlameRobin doesn't show any tiff images anyway, and many times it conflicts with libtiff versions of other distributions. I guess same could be done for gif and other stuff we don't use, so I'll just build a special version of wxWidgets, just for the purpose of FR release.
