Re: [Ltib] conditional configure in build section of spec file

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Aaron,

Because it's possible that configure may pick up different results (say
you've installed a new library etc) it's safer to always run it.  So I
would not recommend changing your .spec files.

If you want to avoid configure, the best best is to use ltib -m shell
(as you suggest).  Once in this mode you can basically run 'make' by
hand (or anything else) but with the cross compiler spoofed and
pkg-config setup to use your rootfs area.

Regards, Stuart
