#12 Makefile.am contains hard-coded path
The src/Makefile.am file in the miniviewer contains hard-coded paths like this:
# set the include path found by configure
INCLUDES = $(all_includes) -I../../cal3d/src/cal3d
I extracted all the packages in one top-level directory, and these
path in this case should have been
../../cal3d-0.7/src
Since you package the miniviewer and the library in separately
(a wise move), I think the correct way would be to let
the autconf scripts to discover the header files.
My suggestion:
- add to configure.in
AC_CHECK_HEADER(cal3d.h)
configure would check for the header file. You would have to
set the extra include path
- in some global shell variable, or
- with the --with-extra-includes=DIR option.
This also requires that you process those options and add
them to CPPFLAGS *before* the AC_CHECK_HEADER macro executes,
doing sg like this:
CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS} $USER_INCLUDES"
It's also a good idea to add some extra action on failure in
AC_CHECK_HEADER (extra message and/or quit), because the 'checking for cal3d.h... no' line
is very easy to overlook.

The automake/autoconf setup has been completely revamped.
The Cal3D libs and headers are now checked in the standard
paths first (e.g. /usr/local/...) and if this fails they
are searched in the vicinity, meaning in "../cal3d/...".
This is done to make the lazy ones happy without force
them to give extra flags to ./configure.
