Hello Folks,
I can't seem to find the thread that prompted this so sorry if whoever
posted the issue not subscribed, but I think we should probably decide
on how to handle this in general on the developer list.
$(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/Auxiliary/
What are the semantics of makefile fragments installed here?
- should all library/framework/bundle packages install fragment that a
user of this l/f/b can simply -include and forget about the exact flags
for linking?
- can this be used to determine whether a package is installed or not?
If so... may I request GormLib/ and Renaisance install such fragemants?
(hmm and on OS X can I simply assume that the InterfaceBuilder Framework
exists?)
I'm personally still not swayed in either direction. Yet I've bloated
GDL2 with the fragments I think could seem useful for users. But I
remain unconvinced that this is the correct approach. (Just like I
couldn't convince myself of the usefulness to include
Additional/gui.make and override that within -make via NEEDS_GUI=no)
But either way, I think we should either consistently all install such
fragments or we should all refrain from doing it.
What do you folks think?
Cheers,
David
