I think I have a problem with libtool and cyclic dependencies. Say, I want to build two libraries a.la and b.la. a uses things from b and vice versa. When compiling these libs without libtool, first I compile one, then the other. When linking a program p that uses a *or* b, I have to link p with a *and* b. Fine. I only checked that because I had
Uugh. Even without libtool, creating libraries with interdependencies causes portability problems because some linkers (which even includes linkers in older versions of Linux) require that the libraries be listed in inverse dependency (left to right) order.
Not only that, but on MacOSX for prebinding to occur all symbols have to be resolvable at link time, and even for linking in general unless you explicitly tell it otherwise (which libtool normally does, but there are cases in which it won't).
For the future portability, I implore that you go with what Bob suggested. :)
