Both smapi and fidoconfig need to be installed since they are
dependencies.  The script as is assumes they are already installed and
thus just creates the final package.  A simple fix for now - perhaps for
good? - would be to add this just after make in smapi;

-----------------------------------------------------------
if [ ! -d /usr/include/smapi ]
then
  make install
fi
-----------------------------------------------------------

which will result in the sampi part being installed if the directory
/usr/include/smapi isn't already on the system.  Then the rest of
the smapi script will install everything in the package.

For findoconf the same check will then be (after make)

-----------------------------------------------------------
if [ ! -d /usr/include/fidoconf ]
then
  make install
fi
-----------------------------------------------------------

which will take care of that dependency.  The rest of the script can
stay as is except you may wish to replace these lines with whatever you
require to create an installable package that can also be uninstalled;

-----------------------------------------------------------
# create total package
cd $PKG
manifest $pkgname
tar Jcvf $PKGDIR/$pkgname.txz .
cd $TOPDIR && rm -r $BUILDDIR/*
-----------------------------------------------------------

In my case 'manifest' is a script I wrote that create a list of
installed files and possibly any special directories which my uninstall
script uses to remove files and possibly empty special directories
unique to the package - /usr/include/smapi and /usr/include/fidoconf
in this case.

In your case the debian installer would take care of this
functionality.

I was hoping we could take this up in the TUXPOWER echo.  I already
sent a seed message there.  Also noted that the last message posted
there was sometime in 2009.  It probably requires some dusting.

Let me know when you are ready and I'll post the entire build script
with the above additions as well as the change to pkgname to something
more acceptable.  ;-)

We can take it from there.

Life is good,
Maurice
