Do you remember why we separated them in the first place? Were there some dependency problems? We could def get comedi_calibrate back in with the option to enable/disable it. Would make life much easier.

Oh right, so the problem is due to the debian comedilib source package

If comedi_calibrate had its own debian source package this extra
configure option wouldn't be needed.

Might be better off avoiding needless extra comedi_calibrate configure
options and either splitting the debian source package or retro-patching
the comedi_calibrate stuff back in at the autoconf/automake level,
basically undoing these two patches:

I've got this now compiling. As I suspected: first both configure
scripts run and then the two makes are run later. To get this to compile
also the comedilib header check needs to be disabled. Basically because:

comedilib/configure
comedilib/comedi-calibrate/configure

comedilib/make
comedilib/comedi-calibrate/make

comedilib/make install
comedilib/comedi-calibrate/make install

I'll hand this now over to Gudjon who has more experience with this:
http://www.linux-usb-daq.co.uk/tmp/comedilib.tar.gz
in there is his original tar and my hacked one. There's still something
not right with the firmware / hotplug stuff. The configure seems to be
ignoring all the options.

Just added the option "--disable-comedilib-checking" to the configure
script. It's in the comedi_calibrate git now.
I'm curious to know why this is required; it seems rather odd to me!
Wouldn't the comedi_calibrate build fail during the linking stage if
libcomedi.so is not there?
