Even this will probably end up with the build directory encoded in the .la file's dependency_libs, the -L../lib will be modified to -L/absolute/path/to/lib and that added to dependency_libs. > or > libtool ... ../lib/libfoo.la > > Now I see the same advice in the second-to-last paragraph of > http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:Porting_Notes > > Is it true that references to non-yet-installed libool libraries should not be > made with -l? If so, it would be worth to document this in the libtool > documentation. I didn't find it there. I think this is a bug in libtool that it encodes the build directory into the .la files, however, you are correct, it is a doc bug too, I will look making a patch to the docs tonight.
