The problem is, I have to check the location of the library. The system can be built in two ways: 1. libl1.a in ../lib/l1, native or cross. 2. libl1.a somewhere else (like /usr/lib or /usr/<platform>/lib), native or cross. I haven't implemented (2) yet, but the build system should support it. I'm also open to other suggestions as long as they suit my needs; what I don't want is to write and maintain complex makefiles manually. I need (2) for building packages, so that I build libl1-dev, install it, and then build src1 package, which build-depends on libl1-dev. With kind regards, Baurzhan.
