Hello, I have the following problem with automake/libtool:
I am writing a software which supports dynamic loading of shared libraries using libltdl. In order to test this feature, I need to create a shared library whose sole purpose is to be dynamically loaded by a program run by the 'check' target, and it seems Automake doesn't support that. If I use check_LTLIBRARIES, only static libraries are built. What works is putting the test libraries under lib_LTLIBRARIES, but this means that these libraries are built by 'make' and installed by 'make install', which is not what I want. I could add a install-exec-local target that deletes the libraries right after they are installed, but that's rather awkward. I was also thinking about adding target/s to Makefile.am which build and install the library by calling libtool directly, but it seems that this is quite complicated. I've read the automake documentation again and again, but could not find a reasonable solution to the problem described. Maybe someone on this list can give me some clue. I am using Libtool 1.5 and Automake 1.7.6. Regards, -- Rene´ Hartmann
