Hi David,
Apparently nobody has experience with libtool duplicating a convenience library in a library link. Therefore, lets try inserting a ``set -x'' in the link. In the "libtool" script somewhere around line 1600 (it varies), you will find this: # Determine the type of output case $output in "") $echo "$modename: you must specify an output file" 1>&2 $echo "$help" 1>&2 exit 1 ;; *.$libext) linkmode=oldlib ;; *.lo | *.$objext) linkmode=obj ;; *.la) linkmode=lib ;; *) linkmode=prog ;; # Anything else should be a program. esac at this point it is done walking the argument list. Add the ``set -x'' after this and let's see how it manipulates the contents of the libsnprintfvc.la file. The script has not yet cracked it open to discover the .libs/libsnprintfvc.al file. We may want to add some echo commands here and there, too, but I don't yet know where. (So we're on the same page, try inserting or removing blank lines early in the file so that the "# Determine the type of output" line appears on line 1602. :-) _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
