[OpenIndiana-discuss] Using OI-userland to develop software

[bentahyr at chez.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to use oi-userland on hipster.
The current config I set up is :
- main repository host is 151a9 exporting oi-userland
- work is done on hipster virtual machines powered by VirtualBox and mounting the oi-userland from host by NFS

As an example I'm trying to work on software requiring a more recent glib than what's on hipster (v2.28.8) and oi-userland seems to be able to provide v2.43.4.
I followed the wiki and am able to build the glib, no issue there.
I'm stuck at next stage.
I would like to use it in a another directory, like /opt/local/req.
I tried to change the PROTO_DIR variable but it doesn't seem to be the way to do it.
I tried to publish but I need to be root to pkgsend nd of course, I have root_squash on NFS export from hosts.

What would be the canonical way to do things ?
Should I create an entry (directory and makefile, and...) for my software in oi-userland ?
Should I just get to apply the patches and make clean, autogen with different prefix in glib-2.43.4 subdirectory ?

Best regards.
Ben
