OS: RHEL 6.5
Autoconf: 2.63
Automake: 1.11.1
I have a library compiled as a mylib.a without Position Independent Code.
When I put the following line in my configure.ac file, the library is
not found.
LDFLAGS="-I/usr/local/packages/lib"
AC_CHECK_LIB(mylib, function)
The ./configure script can't find -lmylib.
I recompiled mylib.a with the -fPIC options, and all of a sudden
./configure can now find it.
Does the ./configure not work with libraries that haven't been compiled
with position independent code, or is this a bug?
When I do a nm on both the PIC and non-PIC library, the symbols are
clearly listed.
Thanks,
James
