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 Idon't want to do that. Also with most distributions shipping ltdl as anormal library with devel and runtime package, I see no reason for that,and would like to use libltdl simply like any other library.
All the world is not Linux. By not shipping libltdl at all, you're making life difficult for the users of hundreds of other platforms who will have to install their own libltdl just to build your package, which many will likely
decide is too much effort. Compared to the megabyte or two of generated shell scripts and configuresupport files you're probably already shipping, shipping the libltdl sources
too is not much of an overhead.
are there any suggestions how I should do that?
In the HEAD snapshots, the following is supposed to work: LT_WITH_LTDL([libltdl])This still requires that you have a copy of libltdl in your package (in the subdirectory named by the argument), but allows the user to dynamically link
against an installed libltdl if they prefer by calling: ./configure --without-included-ltdlI say "supposed" because that part of the tree is currently in flux as we
work towards an alpha release from HEAD in the coming months. Cheers, Gary -- ())_. Email me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( '/ Read my blog: http://blog.azazil.net / )= ...and my book: http://sources.redhat.com/autobook `(_~)_ Join my AGLOCO Network: http://www.agloco.com/r/BBBS7912
