Klaus is already doing people a massive favour by maintaining this Make system and continuing to support it.
FullAck, I guess most people appreciate this way, it makes live not that bad, some minor changes needed to keep any plugin. There's more work for many plugins regarding other changes in VDR, despite which Makefile system. This was IMHO a great job, to keep 99% of the old system with the view into the future.
With post 2.0 Klaus can now uncompromising cut everything old and unnecessary, which will probably sort out 80% of all plugins and make distributors live even easier ... ^^
Thanks for this great work up to now Klaus!
=== Kind regards fnu
