making convenience libraries without libtool
I'm using libtool to make convenience libraries merging sublibraries... I really don't need to use libtool since I don't build shared libraries. How can I use automake to build convenience libraries -- or do I need to make a command in the makefile.am I can invoke like this: build_lib -o libtarget.a foo/libfoo.a bar/libbar.a common/libcommon.a where build lib busts up the archive foo, bar and common into a temporary directory and then build libtarget.a. marty [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't confuse education with schooling.

I believe that Automake relies on libtool to support convenience libraries. Bob On Thu, 11 Dec 2003, Marty Leisner wrote: I'm using libtool to make convenience libraries merging sublibraries...

Ensure your configure.{ac,in} contains at least:
AC_PROG_CC
AC_PROG_RANLIB
Add to your Makefile.am:
noinst_LIBRARIES = libtarget.a
You can use libtarget_a_SOURCES to have it build libtarget.a from source
code, or perhaps make interesting use of libtarget_a_LIBADD to include other
libraries.
The key to convenience libraries is the noinst_ prefix, and the key to not
using libtool just to make an archive is to use the _LIBRARIES suffix
instead of _LTLIBRARIES.
