Hello,
Should probably have spoken earlier, but is there any particular reason for the ugly and hard to read Makefile variable names LCLBLD and PLGCFG? I suppose they're short for LOCALBUILD and PLUGINCONFIG, but why do they have to be short for anything, it's not like we're running out of space for their names anywhere, is it? Besides, I don't think LCLBLD describes what its effects are very well, INPLACE would sounds better to me.
The ship may already have sailed for plgcfg in vdr.pc as it's being used by many plugin Makefiles already, but I believe the attached patches should be safe for 2.0.0.
I'm afraid it's too late for that.
I do not understand why it should be too late. 2.0 is not out yet.
But we're in the final testing phase. Besides, Ville's patch also touched the Makefiles of plugins - and plugin authors and distribution managers react very intense when they have to modify their files ;-).
But if they really cannot have readable names, at least I would not provide a default, but let the makefile issue a message that they must be set (as I suggested in the other thread).
Sorry, no more changes for version 2.0. Just bugfixes, if anything is really broken.
