I'm using libtool-1.5 to try to build stuff on AIX. I'm running into a problem with the -static option to link mode:
I'm trying to build bzip2. It builds a libbz2 and a bzip2 binary. Before installing, it tries to test the bzip2 binary. Normally, this would work, but the -static flag isn't handling the library correctly. I get a compile line that looks something like this: /path/to/gcc <flags> -o bzip2 -lbz2 <more flags> Since libbz2 is a dynamic library, it gets linked dynamically, even through the libtool line looks like this: libtool --mode=link <cflags, ldflags, etc...> -static -o bzip2 bzip2.o libbz2.la If I type in the final compile line by hand and add -bstatic, then it works: /path/to/gcc <flags> -o bzip2 -Wl,-bstatic -lbz2 -Wl,-bshared <more flags> That results in libbz2 being linked in statically, but libc still being dynamic. Is there an easy way to get libtool to do this automatically? eric _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
