Okay, so I took libtool from git, and applied this patch: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2009-07/msg00009.html> libtool now seems to work correctly: the real binary is installed, and it's linked with the right library, which has the correct soname from the real installation path. It would be very nice to have this patch in the next libtool release. While it might not be complete, it's a lot better than the current situation on HP-UX (where I would say libtool is almost useless, since $DESTDIR is a pretty important feature for building packages). - river. _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
