[M3devel] program vs. Program

[Jay K]

Despite the length of this email, I don't think this is a big deal..


With the "origin/runpath" changes from a while ago, "program" "doesn't work", unless build_standalone.
At least on most systems. That is, you can't run the binary from its shipped location, in pkg.


We should consider: 
 - make program imply build_standalone? 
 - never ship "program" -- not runable within the package store  
 - drop in wrapper .sh files that set/append LD_LIBRARY_PATH? 
 - maybe the scheme I alluded to, which I'm pretty sure libtool implements sometimes, where you use full paths on the initial link, an then "ship/install" relink first, either with new full paths or with $ORIGIN.


An exception would be, like, how gcc uses libexec/cc1.
 If something in bin calls out to something in pkg, and either the file in pkg is build_standalone, or, well $ORIGIN sometimes
 is relative to the executable -- like on Mac OSX 10.4 with @executable_path, but this is probably too rare to consider.
And even if we have "private" executables in "pkg", build_standalone is still wasteful.


So we'd want to look through stuff like:

At a quick glance, a lot can be ignored. Anything without quotes doesn't curently build.
m3-pkgtools doesn't currently build.
cm3 and cminstall are "special" -- and still, we shouldn't bother putting them in pkg.
m3back is never used; m3ccgen is standalone and rarely used
libdump I think is unused; dll2lib is unused.
This doesn't check if things are build_standalone, e.g. PklFonts.
