Good.


:)If you remove the configure option, the doc install directory is always
:)prefix/share/doc/simulavr-.... . I am not sure if this is the standard path on
:)a SUSE Linux or on Solaris. I have added the configure option to allow the
:)change of the path for this systems. For me it is no problem to remove the
:)option.

Actually, doc install will go to $(datadir)/doc/simulavr-*. I don't know 
how SUSE and Solaris handle this. The autoconf manual says datadrir is 
"The directory for installing read-only architecture-independent data." 
There is no mention of where documentation should go. I had a hard time 
getting the rpm build to work with the --with-docdir option, so I took it 
out. Rpm seems to do a bit of voodoo with pathes which makes it difficult 
to get the --with-docdir to work right. I think sticking with what 
autoconf can do is better here. Please feel free to argue that point.

:)I have tried a make distcheck and I got the ready for distribution
:)message. But I got also some errors from configure, because I have no
:)Python installed. Here are the error messages:
:)
:)creating regress/Makefile
:)sed: can't read ../regress/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
:)creating regress/regress.py
:)sed: can't read ../regress/regress.py.in: No such file or directory
:)creating regress/modules/Makefile
:)sed: can't read ../regress/modules/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
:)creating regress/test_opcodes/Makefile
:)sed: can't read ../regress/test_opcodes/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
:)creating test_c/Makefile

That's bad. I goofed.

:)
:)The problem is, that the regres directory is not added to the distribution
:)package, if no Python is found. I think this shall be changed, so that it is
:)added, but not built.

I'll fix that before release.

:)I have tried this and I got two rpm files, but the files added to the
:)share/doc/simulavr-... directory are different than the files that you have
:)after a make install (ChangeLog, ProjSummary is missing, but TODO is added).

Should be trivial to fix.

:)
:)I think it is a good idea to add the spec files!
:)Maybe there are some Debian users which can provide a Debian package input
:)file (sorry I have forgotten the name of that file).

If anyone is interested:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package-developer/packaging.html.tar.gz

I don't have debian (yet), so I'm not gonna touch it right now.

:)> code for doxygen. ;)
:)After a quick view the pdf output looks pretty well!

Still lots to do there.

:)Thank you Ted, you have done a really good job!

Thanks for reporting the problems. I'll try to get those fixed by tonight.
