Hi,
I have justed checked in the first sketch of what I think should be the future build system for the externals in CVS.
Most of the externals build nicely, problems are:
* externals that depend on additional external libraries I do not know how to solve this yet. Maybe I will provide some additional. special makefile targets for those.
* should work for osx,win,irix and linux later, but only linux is implemented yet. Next thing will be windows, help appreciated with osx. If possible I would like to have one single makefile for each, in order to make it autobuildable.
If you have a snapshot already on your harddisk, go to the externals directory and do a
"cvs update -d"
this should add a directory called build. Go to build/linux, do a "make -k". Before I start getting rid of the warnings that some of the external produce, it would be great if the respective developer can take a look. Would be great if all builds without warnings.
The next big task will be how to organize the documentation.
