I'm not planning to make any more changes to the Makefiles for version 2.0.0.
So it will remain broken. Thats sad, I provided the patch already before release of 1.7.37.
Well, according to Christopher Reimer it isn't broken: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2013-January/027173.html
Well. If you wanted to install different VDR versions to /opt/vdr-$APIVERSION, you might have compiled with PREFIX=/opt/vdr-$APIVERSION, and the header files would end up at /opt/vdr-$APIVERSION/include which obviously isn't on the default search path. Unless I'm misreading Christopher's e-mail just seemed to say that this patch didn't make a difference to the problem he described - that doesn't mean its not potentially useful.
If you do this, you will obviously have built VDR with LCLBLD=1 (and a copy of Make.config.template), in which case /opt/vdr-$APIVERSION/include will be in the vdr.pc file as part of the CXXFLAGS. Since you will need to build your plugins with
make VDRDIR=/opt/vdr-$APIVERSION
this will read /opt/vdr-$APIVERSION/vdr.pc and everything should work just fine.
Even if you don't add INCDIR directly to the CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS you could add it to the pkg-config variables dumped into vdr.pc so that plugin authors can use it if they need it. Currently its not available in either place.
This has also been suggested here:
http://www.vdr-portal.de/board1-news/board2-vdr-news/p1127697-announce-vdr-d...
so if there are two more people who ACK this, I'll add it for the next version.
