[vlc-devel] [PATCH v2 13/17] contrib: use makefile instead of environment variable

[Alexandre Janniaux]

Hi,

I'm not sure to understand why since you cannot make it work
reliably in the build script alone.

You also refused a patch invoking the fact macosx/ios
developers shouldn't call build/configure script each time
they need to build, highlighting that is was self-inflicted
pain. This is exactly what I try to avoid here.

Initially I put the include hook insertion in config.mak
from the apple/build.sh script, but ePirat mentioned to me
that bootstrap was better since it worked for any darwin
platform. If the fact it is in bootstrap is annoying to you
I can move it back to the build script but I don't really
see what problem you're trying to highlight here.

Please not that the intent it not just moving a hack, but
mainly ensuring the build of contribs doesn't depends upon
your ac_cv_* build environment variable. Fixing this hack
is out of the scope of my darwin and autofoo skills.
