With libtool-1.4.2, I was using a patch (see below) that introduced
DESTDIR that fixed the problems with relinking that happened when
building RPMS. The problem was that when libraries were temporarily
installed to /tmp/buildroot/usr/lib the re-linker would look in the
final destination /usr/lib and fail.
Has this problem been solved in the newer libtool such as 1.4.3 or 1.5?
How? I just looked at ltmain.sh from 1.4.3 and there is no DESTDIR.
The patch that worked for me was written by Bruno Haible and I found it
here:
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-libtool/2002-February/003019.html
That web link appears dead now, but this is a diff I made showing what
it did:
