[ale] Slackware Packaging

[attriel]

So ...

I'm working on building a slackware package for mysql that fits my
installation structure/locations.

I've done the compile, and I know I do a 'makepkg' to finish it

I'm just not sure what I do in-between, since 'makepkg' says it'll take
"the current directory (structure) and tar it for the package", meaning I
obviously can't just go and install the compile, b/c then there'll be all
the OTHER junk thats not rightfully part of mysql :o

do I just somehow do a make and force it into another dir (by editing the
makefile, at the minimum) ?  or has anyone else done this before and
there's some special "makepkgfrommake" where it'll call the make -n and
capture the data to copy the files and do it itself somehow?

I'm guessing the former, but figure I'm going to be doing this with a
bunch of things in the next few weeks as I build a custom install-cd, so
might as well see if there's a tool I'm missing ;)
