Sorry to hack this thread , but my wound is still wide open :( There also was a makefile concept for ten years and apparently no one has a problem with it, but it was changed and that that has cost me many many hours and days and all the fun I had with VDR before ...

Then please, finally, name your problems, so someone can help you to find solutions.

The old Makefile system did not work well for packaging and made it unneccessarily difficult to build plugins from outside the VDR source. It also often required manual steps to be done after installing the plugin (copy resources or something like that) which can be done in the "install" target, now. So in my opinion the new system is a big benefit for 2.0.
