Following on the heels of my earlier question, wrapping other libraries with --whole-archive, another question now arises. While talking with a co-worker, he made the suggestion of just making a convenience library of the other libraries. The reason for the question is, there are no sources for this library ... just the previous libraries. All of the examples I see in the automake documentation for making convenience libraries shows pretty much the same thing: e.g.
noinst_LTLIBRARIES = convenience.la convenience_la_SOURCES = ... What I'm wondering about doing is something like this: noinst_LTLIBRARIES = convenience.la convenience_la_LIBADD = $(top_builddir)/Shared/HwMgmt/.libs/libHwMgmt.la # the python module library lib_LTLIBRARIES = sata.la sata_la_LIBADD = convenience.la Is this something that is supported/possible?
