Hello. I'm having a problem that seems very similar to the one discussed here
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2006-01/msg00021.html where the dynamic link paths aren't being propagated from shared libraries to programs. I looked at the code and it seems that the -R dependencies are being dropped here: for deplib in $tmp_libs; do # FIXME: Pedantically, this is the right thing to do, so # that some nasty dependency loop isn't # accidentally # broken: #new_libs=3D"$deplib $new_libs" # Pragmatically, this seems to cause very few problems in # practice: case $deplib in -L*) new_libs=3D"$deplib $new_libs" ;; ### No action is being taking on -R below. -hkao -R*) ;; *) # And here is the reason: when a library appears more # than once as an explicit dependence of a library, or # is implicitly linked in more than once by the # compiler, it is considered special, and multiple # occurrences thereof are not removed. Compare this # with having the same library being listed as a # dependency of multiple other libraries: in this case, # we know (pedantically, we assume) the library does not # need to be listed more than once, so we keep only the # last copy. This is not always right, but it is rare # enough that we require users that really mean to play # such unportable linking tricks to link the library # using -Wl,-lname, so that libtool does not consider it # for duplicate removal. case " $specialdeplibs " in *" $deplib "*) new_libs=3D"$deplib $new_libs" ;; *) case " $new_libs " in *" $deplib "*) ;; *) new_libs=3D"$deplib $new_libs" ;; esac ;; esac ;; esac done At least, when I run 'libtool --debug' that's near the last place the runtime path is mentioned in the output. I also came across this message, which claims that -R is handled through another mechanism: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2003-03/msg00086.html That does not seem to be the case at this time. Did the code break sometime between these two messages? Can someone suggest a fix? Thanks. I hope this was clear. Harry -- :: Tue, 24 Oct 2006 08:50:37 -0700 ::
