Cover letter [Buildroot] [RFC PATCH 0/2] Hack for perl module subdirectories

Hello,

Quoted 6 lines · Christopher McCrory

for AR, CC, xFLAGS, etc. This "works", but there should be a better way. Hence the RFC.

Also there is a package, libxml-parser-perl, that is a host only perl xml-parser package needed by host-intltool and metacity. Should they stay seprate or be merged?

libxml-parser-perl is intentionally not using the perl-package infrastructure, because we don't want to require building host-perl to build host-intltool.

Some libxml-parser-perl is using the system-wide Perl, which is a mandatory Buildroot dependency.

Perhaps we should add a comment in libxml-parser-perl.mk to explain this.

Best regards,

Thomas
