VDR uses a handmade Makefile.

Thank you! I tried this

        +-INCLUDES = -I/usr/include/freetype2
        ++INCLUDES = -I${STAGING_INCDIR}/freetype2

but the `${STAGING_INCDIR}` was not expanded. The result is the
following.

        INCLUDES = -I${STAGING_INCDIR}freetype2

Using an absolute path worked.

Could you please point out my mistake?

Furthermore is there a better way for upstream to set things up so that
no patching is needed? Or is autotools needed for this?

What else do I need to do to get VDR accepted into OE?


Thanks,

Paul

The upstream Makefile needs to be patched to use the headers from the staging area.
