Greetings! I'm running into a link error when trying to build a suite of libtool-managed libraries. Google turns up many people complaining of similar problems, but I didn't find a solution.
Executive summary of the problem: A single makefile is building seven or eight libraries, all built via libtool. The first four libraries build fine, even though libraries 2-4 all link to the first one. The problem comes in with library #5, which needs to link against two of previous four libraries. At that point, g++ complains that it can't find the second library. Here are some details: ================================ Makefile target definition: libbti_ssl_pkey.la: libbti_ssl_util.la \ libbti_ssl_cipher.la \ bti_ssl_cipher.lo $(LINK_LIB) bti_ssl_cipher.lo \ $(LIBS) \ -lbti_ssl_cipher \ -lbti_ssl_util Where: LINKLIB = $(LIBTOOL) $(LTFLAGS) --mode=link $(COMPILE) \ -no-undefined $(VSNFLAG) -rpath $(libdir) \ $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ LIBS = -lssl -lcrypto -lbti_core ================================ Echo of link step: /bin/sh ./libtool --silent --mode=link g++ -O2 -I/usr/local/include -Wall -no-undefined -version-info 1:0:1 -rpath /usr/local/lib -s -L/usr/local/lib -o libbti_ssl_pkey.la bti_ssl_pkey.lo -lssl -lcrypto -lbti_core -lbti_ssl_cipher -lbti_ssl_util ================================ Resulting error message: g++: /Users/lordgrey/Projects/cvs_projects/bti/bti_ssl_lib/.libs/.libs/libbti_ssl _util.dylib: No such file or directory (The top of the source tree is /Users/lordgrey/Projects/cvs_projects/bti/bti_ssl_lib/.) ================================ If I reverse the order of -lbti_ssl_util and -lbti_ssl_cipher in the makefile target then the error changes: g++: /Users/lordgrey/Projects/cvs_projects/bti/bti_ssl_lib/.libs/.libs/libbti_ssl _cipher.dylib: No such file or directory ================================ Basically, the second library is always "lost" due to an incorrect full path to the local .libs/ directory. This suggests to me that libtool is failing to revert the full path to the directory when processing multiple libtool-built, local libraries. Oh yes: The libtool I'm using is: #: ./libtool --version ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5 (1.1220 2003/04/05 19:32:58) Thoughts?
