Benjamin Hindman commented on MESOS-58:
---------------------------------------
(First, not to readers that to collaborate on this I've put a branch on github
called autotools that we should be working from.)
Regarding step 1, linking against the .la's should work for now because we are
only building the static versions of those third_party libraries. See line 62
in configure.ac. While understanding this is a bit esoteric (i.e., these
semantics are not obvious), this seems like a fine step for now, and can
probably be revisited later.
The plan for python is to use the setuptools and egg approach as per the
previous setup. I'm currently working on getting the external tests working
correctly.
Finally, I'm happy to have someone get make dist working properly. For now,
we'll leave libprocess in third_party. Likewise, I'm happy to see someone
support linking against system libraries too (configure might be the best thing
to do here).
