Thanks for the feedback (and thanks to everybody who helped in explaining what to do to build it...).

If you have any suggestions in what to add or change - feel free to say so.

OK, Juanito. How about adding popt development files?

Probably just copying them from my popt_dev.dsl, editing the .la libtool file, and making the library symlink would suffice.

Hi Juanito:
Just a nitpick with 'compile-3.3.5.uci' -- I think there's an unnecessary symlink:

Code Sample

/opt/compile-3.3.5/lib/libGL.so.1.2 -> /opt/compile-3.3.5/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2

Instead of the symlink, we could just move 'X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1*' over to 'lib/'.

Also, a suggestion:
Maybe we could rename 'compile-3.3.5.uci' to 'compile.uci'?
The reason is, I think '/opt/compile' is easier to type than '/opt/compile-3.3.5'.
e.g.
CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/compile-3.3.5/include'
vs
CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/compile/include'
IMO the '-3.3.5' suffix is not needed since 3.3 is the de facto version of GCC in DSL.

p.s.
I think an idealized 'compile.uci' is an improvement over a .dsl or .unc because it eliminates filesystem clutter. Also, it is self-contained, so it's much easier to tell which files belong to which extension.
So, thanks for coming up with this great idea, and for all the hard work so far.
Awww....

A monolithic X installation is typically contained in /usr/X11R6/ so it should be fine as it is.

By which standard? If you're looking at the kernel, it should also be 2.95

Maybe a script can be included in the package to set up those environmental variables?

Also, the .info file for the extension looks like it is corrupted... could be from a conversion to uniform encodings on the .info's?
