No, that's oversized. You need autoconf/automake for C/C++ projects but not for a python project with some C-Files.

We don't want the preprocessor on python files. Maybe we should use ./configure to generate freevo_config.py and the freevo shell script. The freevo_config.py is good documented, try and error, python is very easy to learn. > Eventually a "configuration dialog box" could be created.... I don't think so, you configure freevo once, to make a configuration dialog box is oversizes, besides it hard to add a path for movies with a remote. > > Some configurable parameters: > > NTSC/PAL > VCR recording window size (width, height) > [This varies according to color system, I think PAL should be 704x576 max] If I understand it correctly PAL is 768x576. But it doesn't matter. Most importand: freevo size (PAL, NTCS or 800x600) Dischi -- "AOL for Dummies" is kind of redundant, don't you think? |
