I think the best way to get compatible with old vdr versions is to manually create a vdr.pc file. Then plugins with new Makefiles will just build. This should be up to the distributors. Just copy one from a recent vdr and edit the API version and paths... Have done it with the current stable-vdr 1.7.27 in yaVDR. For plugins with old Makefiles: just get the needed variables from vdr.pc in your build-script (pkg-build, debian/rules etc.) and you're done. I like the new Makefile... :) I don't like defines in headers, it's just a source of error noone should be forced to manage. Wrapping multiple patches into each other can only be maintainable if you don't make them selectable. The distributor decides which patches he/she likes to distribute and maintaining a patch combination is awfull enough... Done that (and doing it) and I don't really like that either. :) But I will do it until there are no more patches *I* need... :) Why argue about the new Makefile? It's done, get used to it... Peace, Lars. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
