I can only see that there are six variables to take care of (PATH, MANPATH, INFOPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, C_INCLUDE_PATH and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH) of which two have to have two entries bin/sbin and lib/libexec. Of cource shared messes things up, but one can choose only to symlink that. > 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.

Perhaps if I got paid ;) It seems like I have to do it the old way and hope that it goes through the entire batch during the night. -- /Jonas Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
