I spent last night and this morning splitting the single patch I had, into 13
separate patches. Most are build system tweaks(DESTDIR, parallel make,
INSTALL, proper target depends). Also, proper PIC support in the libs, and a
few other things.
Below is the meta-info that my patch oriented build system maintains.
I''ll be
sending each patch as a separate mail(I apologize for the mail flood ahead of
time).
ps: I decided to split out these patches, and send upstream, before uploading
my deb packages. If possible, I''d like to have these applied, and
a new
version rolled based on them.
pps: These are generated against 2.0.3.
==Name: proper-depends.patch
Description: Use proper targets in makefiles
A rule in make should produce only what it''s target allows. When it
produces side-effects, things like ctrl-c and parallellism break it
oddly.

Name: pic-lib.patch
Description: support PIC code generation
Libraries have 2 methods of being compiled; a .so must contain non-pic
objects, while the .a can contain standard objects.

Name: doc-make-vars.patch
Description: Use vars for complex programs
It''s generally standard to call complex programs indirectly thru make
variables. This allows them to be replaced easily with alternative
versions, without editting each makefile.
.
Additionally, this patch makes use of $(pkgdocdir) in docs/Makefile.

programs, and install data files.

Description: support parallellism better
Using shell for loops doesn''t allow make to run it the most parallel
modes. Use patsubst/addsuffix tricks to make this work.

that to restart.

Name: linux-2.4-modules.patch
Description: conditionally call modules targets for 2.4
There was a complaint on the mailing list about linux 2.6 not building
if module support was disabled; a patch was done to fix this. However,
the same change was not done to the 2.4 files.

Name: prefix-DESTDIR.patch
Depends: INSTALL.patch, doc-make-vars.patch, fhs-paths.patch,
linux-2.4-modules.patch, parallel-make.patch, pic-lib.patch,
proper-depends.patch
Description: use DESTDIR correctly
Standard makefiles always attempt to install to the root(/). Setting
DESTDIR is the normal way to install to an alternative location.
.
Setting prefix has the possibility of breaking programs, as the prefix
may have been embedded inside a compiled binary.
