Michael,
Thanks for surfacing this issue, I have forwarded the issue upstream as you may
of seen from my earlier email.
One issue is that for '--without-included-ltdl' to work, it needs to be
supported in the configure script, which in a lot of cases it isn't :-(
I have been revewing a few packages which rdepend on libltdt7 to see how they
have setup configure to address this issue.
Something like:
configure.ac:
dnl
dnl Check for libltdl
dnl
AC_CHECK_LIB([ltdl],[lt_dlinit],,
[AC_MSG_ERROR([[libltdl not found]])])
Will perform the check, but then things get complicated in terms of changing
paths, ensuring that the imbedded copy doesn't get built/ linked against.
Do you have any code snippets from best practise for using the system provided
libltdl?
Thanks,
Mark
