Won't work. PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH won't be enough. The proto stuff installs headers. Then you'll have to handle C_INCLUDE_PATH. And if something uses C++, then CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH and so on and so on and so on. It's hackish. And then some other recipe in the future may look for share/ stuff which won't work unless properly symlinked. Doing this is asking for meta-recipes to break in mysterious ways. Instead, add a new flag "do_symlink=no" and set that on sub-recipes that you can test and ensure that they don't need to be symlinked in an intermediate step. This is the safest approach and will result in the desired speedups. For example, you can skip symlinking on all proto's and only symlink in the last one, so that when libs are compiled, the proto headers are linked (yes, this depends on a proper order for includes in the main recipe, but order is already relevant). -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
