Hi, the libtool info document has several suggestions how to link with libltdl. but they all imply to include the ltdl source in my projects source, and I don't want to do that. Also with most distributions shipping ltdl as a normal library with devel and runtime package, I see no reason for that, and would like to use libltdl simply like any other library.
are there any suggestions how I should do that? my preferred choice - using pkg-config - is not available. it would be nice if libltdl could include a libltdl.pc file in the future! so far I used this in configure.in: dnl use ltdl AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS(ltdl) saved_LIBS="$LIBS" LIBS="$saved_LIBS $LIBLTDL" AC_CHECK_HEADER([ltdl.h], [AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])], [ AC_MSG_ERROR([ltdl.h not found, please install libltdl and/or libtool]) ]) LIBS="$saved_LIBS" but a co-developer found a problem with AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS which seem to come from gettext macro packages, and we don't want to add an unnecessary dependency on gettext only for using libltdl. Can you suggest a different way for finding and linking with ltdl? Thanks, Andreas _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
