[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (MESOS-58) Migrate build system to
Autotools (Automake and Libtool)
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-58?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13152366#comment-13152366 ]

-----------------------------------------------------------------
(First, note to readers that to collaborate on this I've put a branch on github called autotools that we should be working from.)
Regarding step 1, linking against the .la's should work for now because we are only building the static versions of those third_party libraries. See line 62 in configure.ac. While understanding this is a bit esoteric (i.e., these semantics are not obvious), this seems like a fine step for now, and can probably be revisited later.
The plan for python is to use the setuptools and egg approach as per the previous setup. I'm currently working on getting the external tests working correctly.
Finally, I'm happy to have someone get make dist working properly. For now, we'll leave libprocess in third_party. Likewise, I'm happy to see someone support linking against system libraries too (configure might be the best thing to do here).
