libdiskfs: build system inconsistencies; the Hurd `collecting box'

2006-02-07 Thread Thomas Schwinge
Hi! libdiskfs #includes pager.h (libpager). If pager is not contained in HURDLIBS, then the system-wide file from /include will be used and not the one from the currently-being-built Hurd tree. That won't be an issue if both of them adhere to the same API, which they didn't for me, as I was buil

What do you think? I think your patch is correct. Could you elaborate on the two solutions and how the differ (are better) than just adding the proper libraries to HURDLIBS? You have to take care both the header and library implement the same API/ABI. And the safest way to do that is simply t

there is no harm in keeping it around for now, Glad to hear it. That wasn't clear to me. and when the time comes, I don't think the time will ever come. Although I can believe that our own packages could be compiled to avoid /usr without an impossible amount of difficulty, this does
