What is the problem this is trying to solve? How are the .la files causing problems ? The Pd-extended is crufty enough as it is with lots of kludges like this that I'm mostly responsible for. I've learned thru the error of my ways, and have been working to make it all much cleaner and simpler.
roman asked why zexy installs a large number of never-before-seen files, and i told him that they can safely be deleted.
so the "problem" is that they are pointless files, lying around on the filesystem doing no good, and only lead to confusion.
if you prefer to have the files around, feel free to keep them.
I prefer to not have global kludges in the build system. Yes there are still many, but we should be reducing them not adding them. I don't really care either way about the .la files.
If zexy is causing this problem, then this find/rm thing should be part of the zexy_install target, instead of global.
Fair enough. And sorry for adding another global kludge.
IOhannes and me agreed that those files generally are unnecessary. That's why I put the line to the global install target. However, I very much understand your preference not to add more of those global 'solutions'.
If that's ok with you, I'll move it to zexy_install and make it a zexy only solution.
