Hello all, hello Ralf! ;-) I was asked about this: "When I build a binary against a libtyool library, it contains DT_NEEDED records of indirectly required libraries. How can I avoid this?"
My first answer was to refrain from installing *.la files, but the problem is that the libtool library is in the same tarball as the binary, so the binary is linked against uninstalled library. The platform is GNU/Linux, namely current Fedora. I searched the libtool list archives and found two threads from Dec 2004: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.general/4444 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.general/4566 What's the fate of this proposal? Was it abandoned? Or is is genereally accepted, just not yet implemented? A solution might be to force libtool to use --as-needed. I always thought it is ugly: first libtool collects the complete list, then linker throws all of them away... But in the discussion above, Alex Oliva seems to state that --as-needed is the way to go. What's The Right Way(tm) here? Looking forward for an enlightment, Stepan Kasal _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
