Originally, the point of running libtool was that it allowed the same build system to support all the weird options for static and dynamic linking that were available and sometimes necessary on a dozen weird variations of Unix. Now that everybody runs Linux or nearly-compatible influencees thereof, the point of running libtool is that automake uses libtool and we like automake more than we dislike libtool. Note that all the weird libtool script stuff is an intermediate state of a build; libtool gets out of the way and puts normal binaries in their final places (as specified by your --prefix= argument to configure) when you do "make install". --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
