Perhaps, but I prefer to follow the FHS even here. I see no benefit from smashing the /usr/lib libraries into /lib. I'm doing embedded Linux, and I want stuff in the same place regardless of whether my users do native or cross builds (modulo a prefix, of course). > As I point out in the above archived mail, I'm not personally a fan > of automated scripts, but I understand some people prefer using them. My toolchain MUST be built from an automated script under source control. There is simply no choice; our business requires it. - Dan ------ Want more information?
