libdv package. I had to disable libdv support.
i know.
what would be the best + simplest way to handle this ?
include the dv1394.h with gem (i've seen some other apps that do it like this) ???
i see that the dv1394.h is included in the kernel-source, however it does not get installed in /usr/include/. what is the clean way to handle this ??
or do we have to re-write dv-support from scratch ?
The simplest way is to include the header, the cleanest way is to rewrite DV support. Now that they are removing the interface definition we do not know how long the library will have the bindings.
Otherwise I hope I have fixed the problem the Debian package had with FTGL support.
is there any reason that configure *only* autodetects installed things ? i mean, is it generally bad style to enable/disable and with/without things via the configure ? or should we add this again to the new and cleaner script ?
There might be some need now and then to disable things (like the dv support example showed). I do not think it is considered bad style, I just had no use for it until now.
There are other things that are still missing in order to make the configure.ac from the Debian package a general replacement, like the /usr/local stuff and header detection, the -D__NEW__ (although this should probably be set by default).
