I'm afraid I don't grok this (nor the manual's similar wording). Does this mean that a binary package management system that does a staged install into $(DESTDIR) needs to do libtool --finish AFTER it installs the binary package on a target host, or is a tar -x good enough, as long as the absolute path of the final install location is equal to the path following the $(DESTDIR) substring in the staged install? _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
