Hi,
I've taken out the library-build branch again today and played around a
bit. It took me several approaches and fiddling with auto* just to get
it to compile again.
I still feel uncomfortable maintaining a special wrapper and multiple
3rd party libraries inside monotone with the additional option to use a
system provided library.
It seems obvious to me that we don't have the manpower to maintain such
a multi-purpose build harness, so I'm proposing to go the easier way and
make monotone dependent on 3rd party libraries, without providing them
(and a kitchen-sink build harness).
Instead we should IMO simply rip out the still-bundled stuff (pcre,
sqlite, idna, botan) and adjust the Makefile cruft to build against
system provided libraries - as the vast majority of other software does.
Or how often did you encounter a 'configure' which doesn't configure
anything but leaves that task for 'make', making you fiddle with aclocal
in subdirectories if things don't work out as planned?
Comments?
Regards
Markus Wanner
