However, you should never use `-L' or `-l' flags to link against an uninstalled libtool library. Just specify the relative path to the `.la' file, such as `../intl/libintl.la'. This is a design decision to eliminate any ambiguity when linking against uninstalled shared libraries.
Don't accidentally strip the libraries, though, or they will be unusable.
AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
requires that you define the
`Makefile' variable top_builddir
in your `Makefile.in'.
Automake does this automatically, but Autoconf users should set it to
the relative path to the top of your build directory (`../..', for
example).
GNU Image Manipulation Program, for those who haven't taken the plunge. See http://www.gimp.org/.
Unfortunately, as of libtool version 1.2a, there is no way to specify inter-library dependencies on libtool libraries that have not yet been installed.
HP-UX, to be different, uses a function named
shl_load(3)
.
LIBPATH on AIX, and SHLIB_PATH on HP-UX.
Unfortunately, the DLD maintainer is also the libtool maintainer, so time spent on one of these projects takes time away from the other. When libtool is reasonably stable, DLD 4 development will proceed.
All code compiled for the PowerPC
and RS/6000 chips (powerpc-*-*
, powerpcle-*-*
, and
rs6000-*-*
) is position-independent, regardless of the operating
system or compiler suite. So, "regular objects" can be used to build
shared libraries on these systems and no special PIC compiler flags are
required.
