> 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,
