This is great news! Can you please explain how this feature works? I see '=' is added to the prefix of .la files. This suggests *ALL* packages compiled into sysroot must be migrated to libtool 2.4. Also, why not take the value of the sysroot from the DESTDIR automake variable? Thanks, Alon. _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
