AAP's ports recipe(s) (BSD specific, though) are intended to do that for a large class of software (9672 ports at last count). I think getting AAP to build lots of software is a more important goal, myself, and I'm not sure AAP can handle all the weirdness you might want to throw at it already. Not that I have any current real "hard" example available, since everytime I think I have a real problem, another 15 minutes thinking yields a reasonable workaround (like -I$BDIR). -- Adriaan de Groot adridg-FlD2LfDziEhmR6Xm/[email protected] Kamer A6020 024-3652272 GPG Key Fingerprint 934E 31AA 80A7 723F 54F9 50ED 76AC EE01 FEA2 A3FE http://www.cs.kun.nl/~adridg/research/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
