linker - Specify makefile location to link libraries -
i stumbled upon in project i'm working on. in package a, there required configuration option --package-b-makefile-location a's makefile borrows variable values.
is common design pattern has merit? seems me b's package source important binary compiling a. might there reasons wouldn't want tamper it?
thanks,
andrew
it far unheard of 1 package need other packages pre-installed, , have specify locations.
for example, building gcc (4.5.2), need specify locations of gmp, mpfr , mpc libraries if won't found default.
complex systems extensible - perl, apache, tcl/tk, php - provide configuration data users in various ways (config.pm perl, apxs apache, etc), configuration data crucial dependent modules.
my suspicion package needs of configuration data related package b, there isn't fully-fledged system providing it. workaround, package needs see configuration data encapsulated in makefile.
it not common need makefile; not uncommon need information other packages.
