Maybe I should clarify. If someone wanted to do a manual build of the
libraries before making, there seems to be a specific order they need to
be compiled in. What order they need to be compiled in, should be in
the BUILD file. I know it should be a simple ./autogen.sh, ./configure,
make process. But my experience says if that doesn't work the first
time, then the logical process is to assume that the libraries need to
be built individually first, what order they need to be built in would
be useful.
Or, I'm off my rocker and out of sync and just ignore this whole rant.
