Yep. I just tried a fresh CVS checkout + your patch. > I would have expected to see: > > make[2]: *** No rule to make target `libltdl/dlopen.la', needed by > `libltdl/libltdl.la'. Stop. Well, looking at ltdl.m4, I don't see how this could work: [ in $top_builddir ] $ grep DLLOAD Makefile LT_DLLOADERS = dlopen.la noinst_LTLIBRARIES = $(LT_DLLOADERS) $(am__append_1) libltdl_libltdl_la_DEPENDENCIES = $(LT_DLLOADERS) $(LTLIBOBJS) $ grep dlopen\\.la Makefile LT_DLLOADERS = dlopen.la LT_DLPREOPEN = -dlpreopen dlopen.la EXTRA_LTLIBRARIES = libltdl/dlopen.la \ libltdl/dlopen.la: $(libltdl_dlopen_la_OBJECTS) $(libltdl_dlopen_la_DEPENDENCIES) libltdl/$(am__dirstamp) Now, LT_DLLOADERS should be `libltdl/dlopen.la' in the toplevel Makefile but `dlopen.la' in libltdl/Makefile. Similarly, LT_DLPREOPEN should contain `-dlpreopen libltdl/dlopen.la' in the former, and `-dlpreopen dlopen.la' in the latter. I don't see any code generating this. It's also in no way depending on Automake or Autoconf, so it should not be an Autotools version issue either. > Even this recipe (the most contorted example I could concoct) works > fine on both machines: What makes me wonder is how you cannot reproduce this.. are both of those variables empty for you? If so, why (not having dlopen.la on GNU/Linux would be a bug)? Cheers, Ralf
