./configure build systems normally look for the various libraries that the given project needs. On GNU/Linux, this is easy since ./configure mostly just has to look in /usr and maybe /usr/local. Mac OS X is sadly not as organized, but there are some standards, like putting apps into /Applications. So ./configure finding /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libvlc.dylib, then adding -I/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/include to CPPFLAGS and -L/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/ to LDFLAGS make a lot of sense. It could also look in ~/Applications and /sw/Applications if it needed to be thorough. .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "[T]he greatest purveyor of violence in the world today [is] my own government." - Martin Luther King, Jr. _______________________________________________ GEM-dev mailing list GEM-dev@iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/gem-dev
