Hi! We've got several local kamailio modules, and it would be nice to be able to build them separately and not have to hook them into the kamailio source and build systems. I suppose others might find this useful too. I started pondering what adding support for this would imply, and I think the first step is whether this is something you think upstream and you'd be happy supporting? It could be that the internal interfaces are completely unstable and providing this might be a support nightmare, for example, or other similar concerns. I think what would be needed is: - Support installing the library .so symlinks into the -dev package. (The module .so I think would need to stay in the main and module packages, because some stuff loads them as module.so directly?) - Support installing the kamailio core, library and module .h files into the -dev package. AFAIUI modules can have inter-module dependencies and they might use interfaces from both kamailio core itself, the shared libraries or other modules. - Provide a pkg-config file with the necessary compile and link runes (-I, -L, -rpath and similar) to be able to build 3rd party modules easily. While checking this, I noticed there's a src/lib/Makefile.defs, which has a TYPE variable to install headers and similar, but it does not appear to be currently used? Thanks, Guillem
