Re: [vdr] Build plugin with different headers then in VDR distribution
Thanks a lot, Clemens, for your reply. This is my mistake that I didn't explain clearly what actually I need. I use LinuxMCE (http://linuxmce.com) with integrated VDR 1.6.0. I have just VDR headers and binary. So, I can easily build any plugins which have debian patch using dpkg-buildpackage. In that case the plugins work fine. But for those which don't have that there is an only one way to build them using common way - make plugins from the VDR source directory. So, I think I can make a symlink to patched headers in the $VDR_SORUCE/include/vdr and theoretically it should work.

But in my case I have patched headers only (source is not available yet - headers only). i don't see the point. if the header files are different in respect to ABI compatibillity (for example class member order, number of members or object size) then your plugins will not work anyway. if the headers are compatible, it does not matter which one you used to compile them. anyway, vdr and plugins must be compiled with compatible header files. this is what the APIVERSION is for. you could try to copy your patched headers over a fresh vdr source tree and compile it including your plugins. hope this helps ... clemens ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr -- Cheers, Michael ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
