Well, libtool tries to cope with the existing diversity. Life would be even more complicated without it. As for bad engineering, I do not know the constraints that may exist on others systems. MacOS X uses the Mach-O executable format, not ELF. The pro is that it supports fat binaries, but I do not know what con you have to endure for that. > Back to the point, it seems like we should use "ld -l" for some > things (e.g. libglusterfs) and dlopen for others (e.x. xlators), > but never "cross the streams" or just add a .so to the list of > objects. Does that sound right? You should use libtool link everywhere, and with -module when it should be dlopen'able. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus [email protected] _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list [email protected] http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
