- milestone: 288950 -->
The current build process requires a certain ammount of
devloper voodoo to make it work, and even then the
results are somewhat unpredictable. I would recommend
and request that the project use a somewhat more
automated build process, using automake or other build
automator, to allow the user to set certain
machine-specific paths and options at compile-time,
such as qt install location, mjpeg_play folder
location, lib and include folders, compiler, etc.
Ideally, the process would be something like:
./configure --with-extra-options=/options/folder ...
make
make install
Simplifying the build process *might* make it easier to
port to other platforms, such as OS X (using X11, Fink,
etc.) where such options are present but in non-linux
(or non-windows) locations. It would also allow the
end-user to compile on their local machine more easily,
allowing for machine-specific optimization to take place.
