[Slackbuilds-users] making a SlackBuild for golly

[J]

wait, no you're not, disregard my notes re: two dashes. that initial  
dash in the version bit is a bit of shell-ism I'd forgotten about and  
then remembered.


Quoting Glenn Becker <burningc at SDF.ORG>:

>> There is likely an issue here:
>>
>> VERSION=${VERSION:-2.4-src}
>>
>> /sbin/makepkg -l y -c n  
>> $OUTPUT/$PRGNAM-$VERSION-$ARCH-$BUILD$TAG.${PKGTYPE:-tgz}
>>
>>
>> Willy is quite correct regarding the "-src" bit; the pkgtools  
>> reverse the long package name then count the dashes backwards, so  
>> that dash before "src" makes the version "src" and the package name  
>> "golly--2.4". which brings us to the second issue - you are setting  
>> VERSION=-2.4 and then running makepkg with "$PRGNAM-$VERSION" -  
>> meaning you have two dashes.
