What became out of this? I am curious what people think of a $(PREFIX-DEVEL) directory tree, at least for application-building parts (libraries, includefiles), so that building applications against -current libaries becomes less of a nightmare. -developemnt applications can be installed to the main $(PREFIX) again, at least their binaries, so that people don't have to change their $PATH. > * Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 14:22:41 +0200 > * From: Martin Cracauer <cracauer@cons.org> > * > * > * When having gtk and gtk11 installed, you have gtk.m4 and gtk11.m4 in > * /usr/local/share/aclocal. > * > * This breaks autoconf (more specially, aclocal), since both files > * define variables of the same name. > * > * The proper fix in the line of the usual stable/current port way would > * be to change the names of all variables in gtk11.m4 from gtk to > * gtk11.
