Creating Install Files

There are install scripts in the source code under packaging. I don't really understand how to make a Debian package. I tried to work through the problems in my last commit. One problem is the PDF generation fails. Somehow Creole adds #A0 into the text and TeX chokes on that. I re-encoded include/std/convert.e to UTF-8 but now I get error messages about the hyperlinks with a failure. Creating with a PDF still seems to fail with no archive created. I wasn't successful in create a dpkg file.
Arch Linux is setup for mercurial.
There is the source package directory. If we could get this working, perhaps people will be able to build from C source.
The unix directory is still using SVN version control. So obviously it doesn't work.
The Win32 looks like it will just work.
The OSX one doesn't use any version control stuff at all. It doesn't work currently.
Finally using the Slackware version I was able to get a tree laid out for me and all I needed to do was to archive it. Extracting it to the root of a system results in a functional Euphoria system and it appears to be missing only the PDF. The script instructs me to run `makepkg` but you don't really have to. If you do have Slackware you can make a proper package with it. I don't know the differences are between a proper Slackware package and a tarball.
