Hi Ronald,

first I want to thank you for your support!

Ok, I applied your patch, and changed all .o to .$OBJECT in configure.in 
(without parens!) It works, at least for me. I checked all the cnages 
into CVS!

But there are several questions:

- is the .$OBJEXT (instead of .$(OBJEXT) correct?

- what the ehck is a bootstrap script?
- should it be included
   - in CVS
   - in the distribution tarball?

- is AM_PROG_LIBTOOL necessary in configure.in? (it's deactivated at the 
moment)

- should the local 'libtool' script be included
   - in CVS
   - in the distribution tarball?


- lcd4linux (the main program) is linked against the shared 
liblcd4linux. Is it possible to build liblcd4linux as it is now, but 
lcd4linux as a real standalone application (without liblcd4linux?) Would 
this make sense?

Martin, you like small applications very much :-) Would you prefer 
lcd4linux depending on the shared lib, or as a independent application?

Martin, Patrick: does the new version work for you?


bye, Michael
