I have a normal application (not a shared library thus) which uses convenience libraries in subdirectories.
This application also uses libltdl - in order to load modules. These modules needs to resolve symbols from the application, symbols that are in fact in the convenience libraries. The application itself doesn't use these symbols. As a result - the symbols are not put into the application! And loading the modules fails (or at least, calling the missing functions fails). What is needed here is obvious: I need to link the application with the --whole-archive/--no-whole-archive linker flags around the convenience libraries. But, libtool doesn't let me do that :/ It doesn't add it by itself, because I am not building a shared library but an application (using stuff like "-dlopen" self also doesn't help). And when I add the flags myself, like: myapp_LDFLAGS = -Wl,--whole-archive utils/libutils.la -Wl,--no-whole-archive then libtool rearranges the flags so that they come out as: -Wl,--whole-archive -Wl,--no-whole-archive obj1.o obj2.o ... utils/libutils.la and that doesn't do what I want. When I only use -Wl,--whole-archive and leave the -Wl,--no-whole-archive then something horrible gets wrong that simply is not an option. Can someone help me out please? -- Carlo Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
