we build the sources ourselves, as you have noted, it probably
makes sense to keep them in our repo as well
[submodules] make problems when using 'git archive'
submodules do not allow for patching the vendored sources
It's actually relatively easy, but very verbose since running configure then runs the dependent lib configures as well. You just have to point the configure script to the subdirectory with another configure script._______________________________________________I have a couple projects which use autotools and rely on a couple custom libraries which also use autotools. You just pass the subdirectories via AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS: https://github.com/danomatika/joyosc/blob/master/configure.ac#L85But in the end, I plan to simplify this layout and remove the need for this arrangement in the future.On Jan 22, 2022, at 6:57 PM, pd-dev-request@lists.iem.at wrote:Since we build the sources ourselves, as you have noted, it probably
