Hello,
I am trying to port some software to Haiku (at the moment I'm working
with hrev49897, a bit out of date).
Well, you should be able to update your install:
https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/daily-tasks/updating-system
It has the traditional configure
script from gnu world, which has a different layout than Haiku,
obviously. Is there a document/web page somewhere that describes where
files from the Unix-like world should go in Haiku?
The user manual has a chapter on that:
https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/filesystem-layout.html
For first attempts, it might be enough to use --prefix=/system/non-packaged
Some other paths would need to be adjusted, but it should at least run.
You'll really want to write a recipe for HaikuPorts, see:
https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/wiki
haikuporter has a runConfigure function that takes care of passing all
required paths to configure script, provided they are correctly handled
(sometimes some of them are still hardcoded in makefiles).
