This time I have some comments on Makefiles for plugins.
- Is there any reason to not allow plain "make" without target to work? It
would be so easy to move the "all:" target before "%.o: %.c" line.
My plugins usually have an early extra target like this to allow a simple 'make':
_default: all
However, the 'all' target doesn't work unless there was one 'make plugins' from the VDR folder, because of the include-dir target that all plugins also depend on. This could probably be fixed by something like make -C ../../.. include-dir, but that would be overkill.
Also, there's another include statement in my makefiles:
-include $(VDRDIR)/Make.config -include Make.config
This allows local plugin-specific config overrides, though the same can be achieved in VDR's Make.config with this code:
ifeq ($(PLUGIN),pluginname) # local config goes here endif
