Re: Packaging Jami progress

[Jan Wielkiewicz]

Hello,
I started working on updating Jami to the latest version and it seems
it needs libnatpmp, because without it, compilation fails during doing
something connected to UPnP.
For that purpose I started packaging libnatpmp, but during the "install"
stage, it fails with the following error:
starting phase `install'
install -p -d /usr/include
install: cannot create directory ‘/usr’: Permission denied
make: *** [Makefile:95: install] Error 1
command "make" "install"
"prefix=/gnu/store/rn7h6irrjfcd5w2s7a1clrq91g8jxjhl-libnatpmp-20150609"
failed with status 2

I tried chmoding and making files writable, but it didn't work or I did
something wrong.
Here's the sketch of the package:

(define-public libnatpmp
  (package
    (name "libnatpmp")
    (version "20150609")
    (source (origin
              (method url-fetch)
              (uri (string-append
                    "http://miniupnp.free.fr/files/";
                    name "-" version ".tar.gz"))
              (sha256
               (base32
                "1c1n8n7mp0amsd6vkz32n8zj3vnsckv308bb7na0dg0r8969rap1"))))
    (build-system gnu-build-system)
    (arguments
     `(#:phases
       (modify-phases %standard-phases
                      (delete 'configure)
                      (delete 'check))
       #:make-flags
       (list (string-append "prefix=" (assoc-ref %outputs "out")))))
    (home-page "http://miniupnp.free.fr/libnatpmp.html";)
    (synopsis "C Library implementing NAT-PMP")
    (description
     "libnatpmp is a portable and asynchronous implementaiton of the NAT Port 
Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) written in C.")
    (license license:bsd-3)))

How do we deal with problems like these? I checked the makefile and it
doesn't seem to have the "/usr" path hardcoded - it has the $(PREFIX)
variable.
