I floated an idea on how to get around that: Adjust the libtool invocation command (as determined in libtool.m4) to be "libtool --bindir=$(bindir)" (or perhaps with appropriate quoting). The idea being that when used from an autoconf-based makefile (is it even possible to do otherwise, now there is no ltconfig?), the make variable bindir is passed on to libtool. Kludgy, yes, but better than ../bin. Of course, libtool would need to detect an invalid bindir and fall back on ../bin. I haven't fully worked this through yet, though, as I've just started university, so am a bit busy, and to top it off, my hard drive is making loud clicking noises and bluescreening my laptop from time to time. Max. _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
