libMrm_la_LIBADD = -L`pwd`/../Xm-2.0/.libs -lXm
would be an idea. Looks ugly and I'm not even sure how portable this is.
Or perhaps slightly rewritten:
DotDotDir=`pwd`/..
libMrm_la_LIBADD = -L$(DotDotDir)/Xm-2.0/.libs -lXm
WRT just linking the libs I tried again
libMrm_la_LIBADD = ../Xm-2.0/libXm.la
This does fail on my i86linux box
libtool: link: error: cannot link shared libraries into libtool libraries
but succeeds on DU.
On linux
libMrm_la_LIBADD = ../Xm-2.0/.libs/libXm.so
works, so I don't understand fully the error message issued by libtool.
