Re: pkginclude and pkglib?


Hi Gerard,

For what it's worth, I'd be happy to help implement this change.  How do
you see it working during the build of gsl itself?  You would need a
"gsl" directory somewhere in the picture so that 

#include "gsl/gsl_blas.h" 

(and the like) can find the include files being referenced.  One thing
that could be done is to create a "gsl" directory in $top_builddir at
configure time and populate it with symlinks to all the
$top_srcdir/*/gsl_*.h files.  Then the various Makefile.am just need to
add "-I$(full_top_builddir)" to INCLUDES. One possible downside to this
method is that it doesn't automatically guarantee that all headers
mentioned in the various 'include_HEADERS' will have symlinks in
$top_builddir/gsl.  I'm sure there are more sophisticated ways of
getting this done.  Do you have any thoughts on the subject?
