Title: Re: [Oscar-devel] build system redesign
Hi Erich:
 
One simple check (I think) is just to check for the existence of Makefile in the directory, since this file won't be present AFAIK in the user environment.
 
Thanks for looking into this.
 
Cheers,
 
Bernard

Ah, I understand now. Okay, that can be done easilly. We should change the
check and just find out whether we are in a pure user environment or
not. There are also some calls which find out about the SVN version, we need
to get rid of those... Don't have time for that today, but will look into it.

Regards,
Erich
