I've already seen this problem for people who install vdr. People seem to expect that vdr is installed to /usr/local/bin while plugins go to /usr/local/bin/PLUGINS/lib. The current Makefile puts: vdr to $(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR), plugins to $(DESTDIR)$(PLUGINLIBDIR), with DESTDIR empty by default. ok.. so vdr goes in /usr/local/bin, as expected.. but plugins go in ./PLUGINS/lib.. Again, the most common expected behavior that I see from users is that vdr be installed to $(BINDIR) and plugins installed to $(BINDIR)/$(PLUGINLIBDIR). vdr in /usr/local/bin, plugins in /usr/local/bin/PLUGINS/lib. Also, when cleaning plugins, shouldn't ALL copies be cleaned? Why would you clean plugins binaries from ./PLUGINS/lib but not from your install path is as well? In the previous example, /usr/local/bin/PLUGINS/lib.. It seems fitting & expected to: @-rm -f $(BINDIR)/$(PLUGINLIBDIR)/*.so.$(APIVERSION) Just my observations... _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
