I see two possible solutions to this issue. The first solution is to
add the rwtest directory to the path passed to the -R switch. The
second solution is to remove the use of the -bsrv4 and -R switches on
AIX 5.3 (the AIX 5.2 linker doesn't support the switches,
necessitating http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&rev=480679 ).
Thoughts?
I vote for the first approach. It works in my testing
and it is what we will eventually need to do once we
start building rwtest as a shared library.
Btw., I note that the -Wl,-bsvr4,-R$(LIBDIR) option
is on the library link line. I don't see why we need
to specify it there. Unless you have a goof reason
for it to be there can you please remove it?
The reason the option ends up on the library link line is because it's
being defined in the SHARED_LDFLAGS variable in the different
compiler.config files. This variable is one of the variables used to
generate the LDFLAGS variable in the generated makefile.in file.
It could be asserted that this is not a good reason for the option to be
included on the library link line, and I would tend to agree with that
assertion. The only counter-argument I have is that it would be more
complex to separate this option so that it isn't included on library
link lines.
The LDSOFLAGS variable defines the set of linker flags
when linking a shared library, and we should also have
one for rwtest, and for programs that link with one or
both of the two. Maybe something like
LDFLAGS: common linker flags
LDFLAGS.lib: linker flags for the library only
LDFLAGS.rwt: linker flags for rwtest only
LDFLAGS.tst: linker flags for the tests
LDFLAGS.exm: linker flags for the examples
LDFLAGS.util: linker flags for the utilities
These would replace the current SHARED_LDFLAGS as well
as LDSOFLAGS.
