Hello Bob, I must have missed this one, sorry about that.

Just -L$HOME/expat/prefixdir/lib -lexpat should do at link time, if the library has no dependencies itself. Most systems allow also adding plain $HOME/expat/prefixdir/lib/libexpat.a to ensure the static library is used. The needed action at run time for linking against shared libraries is described by the output of `libtool --mode=finish' when installing the linked-to library. Typically something like adding $HOME/expat/prefixdir/lib/../bin to $PATH in your case, so that the DLL is found at run time. > My package is not using libtool. Can I link to the expat library? Sure, see above. > Or do I also need to use libtool? That will also help in the case where the library has dependencies itself. Without libtool, you have to take care of them yourself.
