Here is a sample of the bash script I am porting. CFengine does not like the
syntax of using the conditional statements (which I have replaced through
classes), but I need to be able to check things in and out of cvs and cd into
that directory so that I can build the files correctly. My goal was to avoid
having to have a script to install each piece of software that required this
sort of build, but it looks like that is what I might have to do.
if [ ! -d /usr/local/src ]; then \
mkdir -p /usr/local/src; \
fi
@echo "--------------------> Building xinstall ..."; \
(cd /usr/local/src && \
export CVSROOT=:ext:cvs_repository && \
if [ -d xinstall ]; then \
(cd xinstall && cvs update -d -P); \
else \
cvs co xinstall; \
fi; \
cd xinstall && make all && make install)
touch $@

Give us more to work with: Provide an example of a "lengthy piece"
that you want cf3 to execute; what did your command promise look like and what
was the error message etc.
