@@ -6,17 +6,34 @@ include problem:
 - a simple solution would be to have a special include file containing the neccessary includes (or 2: one for the type definitions and one for the serialization)
 - another solution would be to extract the includes from the file and add them to the generated code
 both solutions only work if the include paths used during compilation of a program using the library are correct[tm]
-
 now we use the first solution
 
-- make distcheck
-- .pc file
-- make install (in this example the "other" client lib would have to install foo.hxx)
 - test using valgrind
 - would be nice to reduce amount of changed files
   (codegen output is often the same as the existing files - something similar to ccache
   for codegen - but not overwriting output files if they are the same)
-- howto include the part after "# always the same:" in all makefiles using the codegenerator
-- lib name should be group name + suffix/prefix
+- howto include the part after "# always the same:" in all makefiles (using the codegenerator)
+  (we now use make's include)
+- lib name should be group name + suffix/prefix ?!
+  user should have complete control => no default suffix/perfix
+  headers should be installed in pkgincludedir? maybe yes on the other hand
+  the user can pass the directory to configure via --includedir
+- the example should not get installed (but still it should show how to build a lib that gets installed :-(
+  (overwriting install: doesn't work)
+  => perhaps split libt2n package into 3 packages?
+       libt2n
+       libt2n-example-codegen
+       libt2n-example-libusage
 - at the moment make dist from within a clean source will not work
-  (this is related to the nodist problem)
+  (this is related to the nodist problem / old automake version)
+  this is caused by BUILT_SOURCES not working for make dist(check?)
+  and the dependency generation
+
+  distcheck -> dist -> distdir -> DISTFILES
+
+  all -> all-redirect -> all-am -> Makefile -> BUILT_SOURCES => bene
+
+  => how to add dependency on BUILT_SOURCES for dist?
+  the real problem is that make dist should not depend on BUILT_SOURCES
+  unfortunately we can't fix this as long as we use a old automake version
+  (DISTFILES includes generated files we would like to mark as noinst)
