Hello folks,
As many people is asking for a centralized Makefile for all unix
platforms and flavors, I'm beginning to turn the current Makefiles
into a single autoconf/automake/libtool templates.
I have a pair of questions about the way I must write them :
- configure.in will detect all cpus types, check for nasm when needed
This implies a change in xvid.c where X86 means "nasm is present". We
should rename this preprocessor directive to HAVE_NASM or something
more precise than just X86.
- i'm currently writing a single Makefile.am for all the tree. In
previous OSS projects, i have always used a Makefile per sub
directory. If someone has experienced problems with the single
Makefile.am, it would be nice to inform me what problems he had and
how he resolved them. Because I want to keep the autoconf stuff easy
to maintain and understand but if the single Makefile.am makes the
thing much harder for the dist target per example, it would be better
to keep the simple "1 Makefile.am per subdirectory".
Waiting for your comments.
NB: gentoo, marillat debian packager wil be happy with that (i hope :)
