wmiirc-lua debianization

[ link: wmiirc-lua-debianization | tags: lua wmii desktop wmiirc-lua debian | updated: Mon, 07 Jan 2008 16:07:08 ]

I just fixed the install scripts for wmiirc-lua. It is now possible to install wmiirc-lua in system directories and run from there. There is also a Wmii-lua session for the display managers (kdm, gdm, etc).

The new and improved way to install wmiirc-lua is to get libixp and wmii from hg and then...

    sudo apt-get install lua5.1 liblua5.1-0-dev liblua5.1-posix0 git-core

    git clone git://repo.or.cz/wmiirc-lua.git/

    cd wmiirc-lua
    git checkout debian
    make deb

    sudo debi

    install-wmiirc-lua

... restart X, and select Wmii-lua as your login session.

I have changed the semantics for make install...

make install - install in DESTDIR/PREFIX (see config.mk).
make install-user - install in ~/.wmii-3.5/.

If you chose to go with the install in system directories route, you should note that alt-a wmiirc does not work properly unless you have a ~/.wmii-3.5/wmiirc. Running install-wmiirc-lua gets you just that.

...

If you do decide to try it, I would like to hear from you. Let me know what I should add to the TODO list to make your wmii experience even better.

There is now an #wmiirc-lua IRC channel on oftc.net.
