No, they are not. -L is for link time, -R for runtime. For the
default
linker on Solaris, the -R is taking the value from -L as gnu ld.
I meant to say Solaris default linker does not behave the same as GNU ld.
-R is recommended practice on Solaris. crle or LD_LIBRARY_PATH can do
the trick, but those practice are discouraged.
The issue I have is that your -enforcing- -R destroys my -portability-. We
need to find a happy comprimize to build to a manditory -prefix versus the
usual -prefix, yet relocatable (with LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
Hmm, I am curious what portability is destroyed. :-)
I mean, based on my limited platform experience, gcc supports -R and
Windows is not using autotools, right? And if you built with the -L
path, isn't it should be the same for -R?
I can work around this by using LDFLAGS but that may not be as precise
as this.
Any other suggestions?
Cheers,
Henry
