[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-250?page=comments#action_12434127 ] Sanjaya Ratnaweera commented on AXIS2C-250: -------------------------------------------
As Samisa mentioned, current set up was established with the purpose of moving other sub projects out of Axis2/C at some point. Therefore these sub projects want to be built before Axis2, since Axis2 is linking against installed libraries of sub projects. Sub projects should be under the Axis2 directory to use AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS. If we run ./configure in Axis2 to configure everything including sub projects, we can't link installed libraries of sub projects with Axis2 since it's not installed at configure time. Therefore we want to use the relative path of the libraries to run make. Since our current setup was establish with the purpose of moving sub projects out of Axis2/C we can't link libraries using the relative path. http://sourceware.org/automake/automake.html#Subpackages > Use AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS to improve build experience > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AXIS2C-250 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-250 > Project: Axis2-C > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: build system (Unix/Linux) > Affects Versions: Current (Nightly) > Reporter: James Clark > Assigned To: Sanjaya Ratnaweera > Priority: Minor > > The current build experience is suboptimal.
