Slax module from source?

This is probably an obvious question, but can someone tell me the easiest way to make a Slax module from a source file?

I'm trying to make a KMyMoney module for myself and luckily there are no dependency issues, I just have to run the usual configure, make, make install. But it takes a huge amount of time, I'd rather make a module out of it.

Thanks.

In general, install it to a fake root directory, then run dir2lzm to convert that directory tree into a lzm module. You can also convert a .tgz file to a .lzm.

Then, copy the lzm into your /slax/modules subdir, and it'll be there when you reboot. Or just double-click on the lzm file to 'activate' it. If you want it to be part of a cd then you'll have to remaster it. [search the board on remaster if you don't know how]

configure, make, make install

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
mkdir /tmp/fakeroot
make DESTDIR=/tmp/fakeroot install
dir2xzm /tmp/fakeroot /tmp/myNewModule.xzm
