<title>Customizing the Generic Builder</title>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<para>The operation of the generic builder can be modified in many
 | 
						|
places by setting certain variables.  These <emphasis>hook
 | 
						|
variables</emphasis> are typically set to the name of some shell
 | 
						|
function defined by you.  For instance, to perform some additional
 | 
						|
steps after <command>make install</command> you would set the
 | 
						|
<varname>postInstall</varname> variable:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<programlisting>
 | 
						|
postInstall=myPostInstall
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
myPostInstall() {
 | 
						|
    mkdir $out/share/extra
 | 
						|
    cp extrafiles/* $out/share/extra
 | 
						|
}</programlisting>
