A "configure" script is almost never appropriate in ON, because ON relies on a consistent set of Makefile design rules across the consolidation. Most open source things that have integrated into ON have simply had Makefiles created from scratch by the integrating engineer. If you really need to generate build infrastructure during compile time, then something like SFW is likely to be more appropriate. SFW's build infrastructure is different, and expects to rely on doing the usual untar, ./configure, make install ritual. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj at workingcode.com>
