Greetings. We currently use libevent in the Open MPI project (www.open-mpi.org
) and are seriously considering replacing it with libev.
Is there any intent to make libev be a fully-embeddable project? Such
as:
- having the majority of libev's configure script in an m4 macro that
can be invoked from a higher-level configure script
- having the ability to prefix all public symbols with an arbitrary
string, preferably via an argument to the configure M4 macro
- having one or both of the following:
- having the libev library not be installed, but rather be
treated as a convenience libtool library (so that it can be sucked up
into a larger, upper-level library), and/or
- having the ability to prefix the name lib the libev library,
preferably via an argument to the configure M4 macros
These kinds of things are necessary to be able to have a fixed version
of libev embedded in a software package while not interfering or
creating ambiguities with a libev that is already installed on a
target system.
