If anybody needs the rest of libtool, then we can add an option like > BR2_PACKAGE_LIBTOOL_FULL or _TOOLS or something like that, Agreed. > similar to e.g. > libcurl (where BTW curl was originally a separate package but we merged it). Exceot that, because of that legacy, curl is a bad example, as the option is badly named. A better exaple would be libcap (_TOOLS) or gnutls (_UTILS). I would favour the _TOOLS suffix, even though we have both in tree. Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
