Something like this? # Use 'make LCLBLD=1' to build locale and plugin files under the source directory: ifdef LCLBLD ... # Use this if you want to have a central place where you configure compile time # parameters for plugins: #PLGCFG = $(CONFDIR)/plugins.mk Klaus ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
