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,

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.
