Hello,

I have been able to compile XBMC for Android by following the readme.

However, something is unclear to me (I don't have experience with gnu auto tools).
When in the compilation process do the make files for the libs get generated?

For example, there is a directory xbmc-android/lib/libexif. In this directory there is a Makefile.in and a Makefile.

What tells make to take the Makefile.in from this directory and create the Makefile?

Thanks,
rdg

For the record, it looks like the step

make -C tools/depends/target/xbmc

has the side effect of creating the Makefiles from the Makefile.in files.

I think this is because of the following command:

cd $(SOURCE); $(CONFIGURE)

which calls the configure script inside the xbmc-android directory.

configure makes them from make -C tools/depends/target/xbmc

if you change a Makefile.in, then when you do a make, the Makefile will get regenerated
