Which platforms would they be? Don't all the platforms we support support shared libraries without libtool? My point above is that libtool-like functionality for abstracting the shared library build process should be possible from within an extensible build framework like scons. This eliminates the need to call a big-arse shell script that calls dozens of shell utilities (which is particularly slow on win32), so you just end up forking to call the compiler, linker, etc. James. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
