Just to check, I just tried this: quartz% uname -s NetBSD quartz% libtool compile gcc -g -O -c foo.c libtool: compile: gcc -g -O -c foo.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/foo.o libtool: compile: gcc -g -O -c foo.c -o foo.o >/dev/null 2>&1 quartz% ls -laR total 16 drwxr-xr-x 3 prlw1 wheel 512 Aug 11 14:02 . drwxrwxrwt 5 root wheel 512 Aug 11 14:02 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 prlw1 wheel 512 Aug 11 14:02 .libs -rw-r--r-- 1 prlw1 wheel 53 Aug 11 14:02 foo.c -rw-r--r-- 1 prlw1 wheel 290 Aug 11 14:02 foo.lo -rw-r--r-- 1 prlw1 wheel 2116 Aug 11 14:02 foo.o ./.libs: total 10 drwxr-xr-x 2 prlw1 wheel 512 Aug 11 14:02 . drwxr-xr-x 3 prlw1 wheel 512 Aug 11 14:02 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 prlw1 wheel 2116 Aug 11 14:02 foo.o quartz% file foo.lo foo.o .libs/foo.o foo.lo: ASCII English text foo.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped .libs/foo.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped quartz% libtool --version ltmain.sh (GNU libtool 1.1984 2005/07/11 12:11:25) 2.1a ... quartz% diff -s foo.o .libs/foo.o Files foo.o and .libs/foo.o are identical So your comment is correct. I just wonder why there are two foo.o files. Cheers, Patrick _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
