Hi Thomas,

So can (we/you) alter the flext buildsys so that things like the DESTDIR
and prefix variables (if they are set) provide reasonable defaults to
the conf files?

Hans, are these all environment variables or variables within the
makefile? As in do we need flext to build like this:

build.sh pd gcc
build.sh pd gcc install $DESTDIR $prefix

or can we just run "build.sh pd gcc" with the environment vars set properly?

I'll help were I can, It would be really nice to have flext play nice
with the pd-extended build system.
