I asked the following question in #workingset on irc.freenode.net a little while ago, but got no response. I was hoping you guys might chime in. I hope you won't mind the IRC format, I just copy-pasted it, and I wanted to get this email out quickly so I can go eat :-) [01:53am] rutski: I've got an autotools question [01:53am] rutski: how would one go about developing two autotools projects in parallel [01:54am] rutski: one being a library [01:54am] rutski: and one being an application that consumes the code in that library [01:54am] rutski: the problem is that the "make install" on the library code install things into /usr/lib and /usr/include [01:54am] rutski: and then the "make" on the application uses the headers that were installed in /usr/include [01:55am] rutski: but if I edit a library header and re-run "make install" on the lib then it reinstalls _all_ the headers [01:55am] rutski: and then when I run "make" on the app again, I have to rebuild practically the WHOLE ******* APP! Even if I didn't change a thing! [01:55am] rutski: because it thinks all the /usr/include/*.h headers are changed [01:56am] rutski: when really they didn't, because make-install just copied over identical headers [01:56am] rutski: any ideas?
