Install Libraries/headers etc. during 'make install'
« on: December 31, 2007, 03:22:19 PM »
I would find it useful to install libraries and headers when doing a make install as this would promote additional developement - I am currently looking to create a MythTV plugin which would use the EC protocol to talk to amuled and the lack of these headers/libraries will cause problems for users if they would to compile other such tools.

Would any body else find this useful?

btw - I am currently working on a patch to the 2.1.3 release tarball to do this - basically it just changes some of the Makefiles.am files a little so that the right headers/libraries get installed to PREFIX/include/amule and PREFIX/lib -  thus allowing 3rd party client apps to use libec for the connectivity in much the same way as the command-line tools do.

I was unable to find a CVS/subversion repo mentinoed any where so cannot create a patch which will apply to trunk - if you know the details please let me know.

Also, where's the best place to submit patches to?

Hi brad,

Thanks a lot for your efforts! It would be very nice to see more people using libec, who could help us improving the developer documentation to make it easier for developers to use EC.

Currently you can only get daily tarballs at www.amule.hirnriss.net, just download the tarball, make the changes and post your patch in the development section of the forum.
Someone will have a look at it and commit the patch/make some suggestions for improvements.

kind regards
