I have two projects. One generates a shared library and the other uses it. The library is to be installed in /usr/local/lib/ezproject, while the project' s name is ezcommon. I have problems in both the projects. ezcommon's configure.ac, … AC_INIT(ezcommon, 3.0) AC_DISABLE_STATIC … ezcommon's Makefile.am, lib_LTLIBRARIES = libezcommon.la libdir = $(exec_prefix)/lib/ezproject includedir = $(prefix)/include/ezproject Problem is, if user configure --libdir=..., the user's definition will be ignored. How can I set libdir only when user does not assign it? (Since this dir name is not same as project name, I cannot use pkglib_.) The other question is how to check for this library in the other project, named ezcmd. ezcmd's configure.ac, ... AC_CHECK_LIB([ezcommon], main,,AC_MSG_ERROR(...)) ... This check will fail, since ezcommon is installed in /usr/local/lib/ ezproject by default. Should I add LDFLAGS=-Lezproject or sth.? And how? Or should I add this directory to system's link-search directory?
Thank you very much. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/how-to-install-library-in-a-specific-directory--tp24601847p24601847.html Sent from the Gnu - Automake - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
