Autoconf (built-in macros, that is) and Automake do not get involved in that. I vaguely recall Libtool having support for it, but PostgreSQL does not use Automake or Libtool. I also spoke too loosely: -L is never per-library, but you can emulate that by completing the search externally and passing a full path to the linker. Honestly, the benefit is probably too light to justify going to this trouble. -- Noah Misch http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
