Submit with Dependency Library

[andifuchs]

Hello,

I want to submit my module to the devel-mailinglist and not sure how to handle the dependency library. I read through all the wiki, but didn't find a conclusive answer. To compile i added the netcdf library, which is dependent on hdf5 an szip (so the source files are rather big) and configured the configure.ac accordingly to link it, if it's installed on the system. This works for Linux well. For Windows cross compiling i copy the precompiled libraries into the according contrib folder and link it. Unfortunately they don't get packed, but if the dlls are installed on the system (or in the vlc main directory) they work fine.

I know this isn't the perfect way, but is this ok to send for now? If not, how should i include it (linux/windows)?

best regards, Andi
