coreutils changed this back in 8.13 timeframe to appease automake which stopped accepting pkglib_PROGRAMS and it was moved to pkglibexec_PROGRAMS list since this library is special where you do not link to it directly but preload it to divert stdio buffers coreutils devs did not classifiy it to be installed in libdir but in libexecdir instead and if you look stdbuf program which sets up this preloading is hardwired to look into libexecdir and modifies the preload search path to include libexecdir in search path, so if we specify --libexecdir=.. to configure and make sure that this .so lands in same directory on target then we are ok. did we change global libexecdir ? -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
