Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] New build system features

[Greg Troxel]

rereading, I see this:


  --with-omnithread       Use package omnithread if installed in
                          $prefix/lib/pkgconfig; otherwise revert back to
                          --enable-omnithread
  --with-gnuradio-core    Use package gnuradio-core if installed in
                          $prefix/lib/pkgconfig; otherwise revert back to
                          --enable-gnuradio-core


from a pkgsrc point of view, I'd like to see this be

  use it from --prefix, and fail if not there.

the 'build it if not there' does not serve the cause of repeatable
builds, where things go exactly as planned, or you notice.
But, I realize that packaging systems may not be the only client.

It would be nice if needed and disabled things were just looked for in
prefix, and an error if not present, but I haven't really pondered all
the use cases.
