[Cgdb-users] cgdb & automake

[Bob R. <bob...@co...>]

Hi,

I re-organized the make system for cgdb/tgdb.

The new way creates many libraries instead of only one monolithic libtgdb.a

This is good because:
1. It physically separates the code into directories.
2. Makes code easier to find and understand
3. It forces units to only rely on lower units

Its bad because:
1. The user that wants to link to libtgdb has to link to its dependents
   The current list is already 5 libraries.=20
   ( -lutil -ladt -lannotate-two -lgdbmi -ltgdb )
2. It slows down ./configure;make;make install

What does everyone think?

I strongly like the new system. I personally don't care how long it takes to
compile. The only thing that really bothers me is all of the libraries
the client has to link against.

Thanks,
Bob Rossi
