Re: Questions about creating a development package

Sorry for the late reply, I've been on the road and haven't had access
to a linux machine.

You don't want this. You should not print any errors yourself - the
autopackage framework will inform the user about missing packages.

Either do 'pkg-config --exists libpng' first, or redirect stderr to
/dev/null in your skeleton.

It took a fair amount of debugging, but I see the problem now:
  copyFile $src $dst
requires $dst to be a filename. You have a directory name, which is
why it fails.

Change the second arg to be a filename (by adding jngl.hpp) or use
copyFiles (notice plural form). Weird limitation of copyFile that I
didn't even know of...
