Involves prefixing with $(srcdir) to some of the build rule variables. For
the builddir we create Makefiles which simply include the srcdir Makefile.
Add list make rule to get list of Makefiles to generate (find will get it
wrong for builddirs nested in srcdir).
There are still a few minor issues like the file paths echoed during make
install ...
Ditch the building of an archive (.a) in favour of linking all objects in a
directory into a lib.o file. This makes it easy to link in subdirectories
and more importantly keeps the build logic in the local subdirectories.
Note: after updating you will have to rm **/*.a if you do not make clean
before updating.
- Use the mkinstalldirs in $(top_srcdir)/config
- Fix buggy scripting of srcdir which broke the local gettext install
- Add the local uninstall stuff so we have it around
