Wow! That took a _long_ time to percolate through the system. Thanks for the answers folks. Please keep them coming. In the mean time, I learned that if I just added path/to/library.la to my _LDADD definition, and put an LT_INIT in my configure.ac file, I could test my application and pull in the new library the way I wanted. --wpd _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
