I understand these two paragraphs as 1. dependencies are inherited at link time 2. libraries are already built (hence linked) in the correct order So when are the incorrect dependencies registered? At relink-time? Can't those of link-time be used?

Not only that, but also supporting a arbitrary installation order of libraries in multi-Makefile projects. -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
