C::B should use system tinyxml
« on: September 09, 2008, 01:43:37 pm »
Some Linux distributions like Fedora prefer (or better require when possible) using of system wide libraries instead of including them directly in the application's source code. So I have started to work on the possibility to use system tinyxml instead of the included one. It will  add a check into configure and some logic into the makefiles analogous to the situation of zlib and libbzip in the help_plugin.

Hi !

How do you handles API differences due to the libs evolutions that may not be the same on all systems ?

Yes, that can create some problems, but it's not the case of the mentioned libraries. Fedora's explanation is at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Duplication_of_system_libraries
