I test! :o) I made it once to rebuild the ELDK under a modified SuSE 8.0. But I can't do it again. I just can't remember what I did. But as long as I am not able to rebuild it I can't update my build host to a more recent SuSE version... :-( So I think I can wait (how long?). But any idea about my original question? I'd love to understand this whole automake/autoconf/rpm stuff? I suppose the times of handwriten/optimized Makefiles are gone... Forever... ;-) Thanks, Steven ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
