Linux Gears should build against system libraries. #863

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently Gears ships with over 300mb of third party libraries. For gears
to be successfully included in Linux systems, it needs to be built against
the system libs.

Third party libs should not be modified in order to get gears to build!
Gears should work around that and submit changes to upstream libs.

This ensures that patches to the libs (security and other) by the
distribution are used when rebuilding. This will also bring down the size
of the source making it easier to work with.
