Hi, Looking at another recipe that deletes .la files reminded me that every six months or so I look at this and never actually get anything done. Let's try attempt three!
My proposal is that we integrate .la-removal into a core class. autotools.bbclass should cover 99% of instances as libtool is normally used in conjunction with auto*. Have a variable, REMOVE_LIBTOOL_LA, which controls the behaviour post-install. "none". For this recipe, don't remove any .la files. "libdir". For this recipe, remove .la files in $base_libdir and $libdir non-recursively, keeping the .la files in any subdirectories. This is for packages that use libltdt to load modules, which I believe needs .la files to work. "all". For this recipe, remove all .la files. I've not written any code yet, but it shouldn't be hard. Any thoughts? Ross _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
