Well, the correct way to test if the hardcoded path is in a binary is to use an "objdump"-like tool (chatr on HP-UX 32bit, elfdump on HP-UX 64bit, dump -Hv on AIX, elfdump on Solaris, odump on Tru64 UNIX, elfdump on IRIX). I don't know how to do this when cross-compiling though. -- albert chin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
