In regard to: Re: LT_* equivalent to AC_CHECK_LIB?, Ralf Wildenhues said...:
* Tim Mooney wrote on Mon, Jul 03, 2006 at 11:17:03PM CEST:So to address this, libtool would need to - know how the platform behaves regarding shared library dependencies - in the case of static libraries, continue doing what it's already doing - for shared libraries on platforms where the linker follows library dependencies - when creating a shared library, make sure that it's dependent libraries are recorded (however that's done for a particular platform, probably just linking) by the library when it's created. - when linking against a shared library of this type, detect which libraries are recorded as dependant for the shared library and leave those out of the list of dependency_libs for the shared library. Is that about it?No. It's much more complicated.
That's what I was afraid of. Even the steps I outlined were complex, but I figured someone would have solved it if it was "that easy". Thanks for clarifying.
