[gst-devel] Re: [gst-cvs] CVS: gstreamer/gst/schedulers Makefile.am,1.8,1.9

[Richard Boulton]

This situation is one of the big reasons that recursive make is bad.

I know of only two possible solutions to this situation:

1) Move the cothreads library into a separate top level directory so
that it can be built before the gst/* tree.  (I see you've tried just
building the libs/* tree first - I presume that fails because it depends
on the gst/* tree in some way which can't easily be resolved.)

2) Change the build system so that it doesn't use a recursive make. 
Automake 1.5 just about supports enough features so that this can be
done (I'm doing this with all my more recent projects; unfortunately
none of those have been released yet so I can't show you an example).
It's probably not a good idea to get into all this: I can't guarantee
that you'd be successful in the end, and it would be a huge amount of
work.

For now, I think your best bet is just to stick with the hack.
