I totally understand your opinion and I must admit I am in the camp of these to say that I find... that libtool seems to ... complicate issues sometimes. :-) In a way I'd actually love to see libtool and pkg-config join forces so that a user only needs "both" of them, and thus only one of these. The .la files approach would be better tied together with what info a .pc file offers (I mention pkg-config here, because normally pkg-config gives me less problems as I just dump all my .pc files into one dir, whereas the .la files are scattered right next to the various .so files. pkg-config probably does less than libtool but I am mostly talking from a biased user opinion here) There however is one great advantage libtool actually has - this is helpful people. :-) Props to them for being able to maintain such a big shell script! = -- Powered by Outblaze _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
