But shishi uses libtool, so if you are using libtool to link your application, it will handle the dependencies internally. > My problems with it currently: > > - Getting one thing from it, gets you the whole load of it. > > readline -> getline -> getdelim > > While I'm happy, when readline is not there, I don't need > emulation for it. Hm, it should be possibly to write a module readline-opt that doesn't implement a fallback, and have the readline module use it, but install it's replacement when needed. > - I still haven't moved to automake (aclocal a few days > ago at least) for historic reasons.
