Hi
what do you think about using GNU autoconf/automake/libtool for Mesa?
These tools are used by most modern open source packages,
simplify and standardize the installation process
(configure; make; make install) and make it much easier
to port the package to other platforms.
It would replace the mklib.* scripts and autodetect platform
specific features such as MMX support, X11 paths, compilers etc.
libtool is able to build shared libraries on nearly all Unix-like
platforms (incl. BeOS) and static libraries on all platforms.
This build system could friendly coexist with the DOS/Win/Amiga
Makefiles, except that the file "Makefile" would be overwritten.
Comments?
