Hi Andrew; pls look into my previous mail, how much I enjoy the/your work for cross-compiling. While I'm convinced that your approach works and is tiny, I'm not shure if it's "understandable". I looked a long time in to your changes and my impression is that you've "over-simplified" it. The logic to build the files for buildpacket.pl has been put into buildtool.mk, the file to declare the modules is really simple. Anyway it breaks the "rules" how to define the filelist for packages. So it's different compared to any other package. While the current approach is "stupid", it just works and until today it's always the same for every package. I'm afraid that putting the logic into buildtool.mk , and to make a difference in package definitions requires more documentation, raises questions and is in fact not as easy to understand as we like. If it's really necessary for cross-compiling I'll swallow it, if not I'd like to go with the common approach, just to keep it as simple as possible over the whole buildtool setup. opinions? kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
