What would be the preferred location to install the flext header and library files in linux? I know, that I can give the FLEXTPATH in my Makefiles, but maybe it would be a good idea, to agree upon a common location, as everyone will have the flext source files somewhere else.
Personally I would just put the header in /usr/include and flext.a in /usr/lib or somewhere under /usr/lib/pd. I'm not sure, where you wanted it to land, maybe $(PDEXTRA), but that one is not defined in the flext makefile. It is in xsample, though.
Hmmm, i didn't spend brain-time on that. I simply put the flext source where i develop my externals (i.e. /home/thomas/prog/pd/flext), and the lib in some subfolder of that .....this is surely no portable behavior....
yes, that's what I'm doing also, normally.
/usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib is just fine.
It's not, that I don't want to mess in /usr, because that would be distribution land. I don't want to install to /usr/local, because I build Debian packages for my distribution on my own. That way, upgrades are handled by the Debian package system, and they become really painless. So I do in fact want to install somewhere in /usr, an not in /usr/local, but I'm not sure if e.g. flext.h should go to /usr/include or somewhere under /usr/lib/pd or even in a yet nonexisting include directory "/usr/include/pd"
This might be a question for PD in general. I have m_pd.h etc. in /usr/include, I think that's okay, but it could clash with other headers sometime, couldn't it?
Be aware that the flext.a may not be upwards compatible for the next few "releases". I'll fix the path stuff for the upcoming next release (featuring list/anything for all inlets)
In fact, I can't rebuild flext or xsample at the moment, because I always get an "Internal compiler error", using gcc in version 2.95.4. Your binaries work fine, though...
But so I can't build my own debian packages at the moment, and I copied everything in $(PD-DIR)/extra now.
