Hello John,
Your proposed patches in this thread seem rather cosmetic to me, because the functionality that you require can be achieved without any patching as well. I'm not saying they are bad or wrong, I'd rather prefer the makefile to be fixed properly instead of making it more complicated.
Is anyone working on fixing the makefiles in nx-libs (redistributed)?
The fixes I made to the nx-libs build system were certainly more than cosmetic, and they work (I've been using them for a month now), but nx-libs is still being distributed with a horribly broken imake build system. I certainly don't claim the fixes I made are perfect, but they do work, and they do install files in their proper places, and that is better than what is currently being distributed.
Hence, my question. Is someone working on fixing the nx-libs build files?
we are currently in the process of making this job, yes. We have substantially made a lot of work for RPMS and general build environments to accomodate the standards in distributions other than debian/ubuntu.
Please stay tuned just for some days. I will make a larger announcement on this topic to this list as soon as we got the work done.
