I am having problems using automake 1.9.3 and libtool when installing libraries similar to those reported in a message to the automake list with this same subject line from Bob Friesenhahn about a year ago (cf http://sources.redhat.com/ml/automake/2004-01/msg00146.html).
I'm appending to lib_LTLIBRARIES in dependency order in my Makefile.am which would otherwise result in clean install order. However, some of the libraries are in automake conditionals. Automake seems to extract them from the list and stick them into am__append_X variable(s) which coorespond to the set of automake conditionals being used. These lists seem to be in alphabetical order, and I haven't been able to tell what determines where the $(am__append_X)s are inserted in the list. In any case, this destroys the careful lib_LTLIBRARIES ordering. Any advice how I can set things up so that libraries will be installed in order? Many thanks, --jtc -- J.T. Conklin
