Hi

I'm trying to make packages for Gentoo Linux. While trying this, I
encountered some problems with the current build-system and I would like
to make some suggestions. I already reported a bug in the
berlios-bugtracker about that.

a) Instead of a handwritten Makefile in the top-folder of each
package/lib/whatever, you can just put a .pro-file with the following
content:

TEMPLATE=subdirs
SUBDIRS=src/yade-lib-wm3-math
CONFIG  += release thread warn_on

b) Instead of using the YADE_QMAKE_PATH, you can use a variable PREFIX
as follows (in src/yade-lib-wm3-math/yade-lib-wm3-math.pro):

isEmpty ( PREFIX ) {
        PREFIX = /usr/local
}

c) ... and together with the following, you get the "install"-target in
the makefile (in src/yade-lib-wm3-math/yade-lib-wm3-math.pro),
which can again be controlled by passing INSTALL_ROOT to make.

INCLUDEPATH += $${PREFIX}/include
LIBS += -L$${PREFIX}/lib/yade

target.path += $${PREFIX}/lib/yade
headers.path += $${PREFIX}/include/yade/yade-lib-wm3-math
headers.files = $${HEADERS}
INSTALLS += target headers

d) ... and to pass additional INCLUDES and/or LIBS variables to ALL
.pro-files, you can create a ".qmake.cache" file in the top-folder of
each project or the AllInOne-package with the needed variables, which
will be passed by qmake to all subdirs.

Greets,
Tiziano
