Hi all, I'm trying to get libtool to link a program that depends on a circular list of static (libtool) libraries.
I'm using a command line like: ../../libtool --mode=link --preserve-dup-deps g77 -Wall -I../include -O0 -o partrj -static *.o ../ui/libParTrjUI.la ../models/libSPPModels.la ../share/libSPPShare.la ../models/libSPPModels.la ../grid/libSPPgrid.la ../fields/libSPPFields.la ../share/libSPPShare.la ../menus/libParTrjMenu.la ../strings/src/libSPPStrings.la ../hash/libHash.la ../dbg/libSPPdbg.la ../t89files/libSPPt89.la unfortunately this ends up not working because libtool is removing/reordering some of the libraries: g77 -Wall -I../include -O0 -o partrj <bunch of .o files> ../ui/.libs/libParTrjUI.a ../models/.libs/libSPPModels.a ../grid/.libs/libSPPgrid.a ../fields/.libs/libSPPFields.a ../share/.libs/libSPPShare.a ../menus/.libs/libParTrjMenu.a ../strings/src/.libs/libSPPStrings.a ../hash/.libs/libHash.a ../dbg/.libs/libSPPdbg.a ../t89files/.libs/libSPPt89.a "--preserve-dup-deps" doesn't seem to have an effect. I also tried remaking the command line using -L and -l options instead of explicitly specifying the .la file, with the same effect of libtool stripping out libraries from the link line. I found a post on libtool-patches from 2002, where someone else had run into this issue. They expected linker flags of -Wl,"-(" <libs> -Wl,"-)" to fix it. I changed my link line above to use these linker flags in the libtool command line, but I still get the same error. It appears as if the patch was never applied (why?)? I am using libtool version '1.5.18 (1.1220.2.246 2005/05/16 10:00:18'. What am I doing wrong? How can one link in circular dependencies using libtool?
