Not entirely convinced the section is needed at all. Anyway, here is some constructive criticism: 1) Passing just LDFLAGS is not enough, you need also to pass complementary header paths in CPPFLAGS: CONFIGURE_ENV=3D CPPFLAGS=3D"-I${LOCALBASE}/include" \ LDFLAGS=3D"-L${LOCALBASE}/lib" Also mention that this is only to be used when the configure script can't find it's whereabouts without it. We don't need this in every single Makefile -- ie. clutter. Nits: - I would drop the whole discussion about shlibver arguments to USE_GETTEXT. Just draws misuse. - why GNU configure, GNU gettext? configure, gettext is just fine. Check the rest of the document and follow the style. Otherwise it's acceptable, maybe the language is a bit too informal to match the rest of the document, but whatever. Thanks! --=20 Pav Lucistnik <pav@oook.cz> <pav@FreeBSD.org> Oh, no! Aaargh! It is the most unnatural, most disgusting creature imaginable: a two-eyed cyclops! --=-+sJ/2gTacICvrucnxdKN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Toto je =?UTF-8?Q?digit=C3=A1ln=C4=9B?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_podepsan=E1?= =?UTF-8?Q?_=C4=8D=C3=A1st?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?_zpr=E1vy?= -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBE6ge0ntdYP8FOsoIRAlVPAKCELpy2MAs4pB6tzXAP63TUEA6ttwCgym9S A4Vg3tgQ6LEQrfA8qEAqKF0= =FH8j -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-+sJ/2gTacICvrucnxdKN--
