Hi All, For our project we use automake/libtool
automake (GNU automake) 1.14.1 libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.2 autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69 We have, platform/targetA/Makefile.am platform/targetB/Makefile.am example/*/Makefile.am We wanted to link an external lib wrapped around --whole-archive/--no-whole-archive with the example application as given below, platform/targetA/Makefile.am LIBS += -Wl,--whole-archive LIBS += -lmyextlib LIBS += -Wl,--no-whole-archive Problem is, platform linker command doesn't have --whole-archive/--no-whole-archive around the lib. Instead it comes later in the command line. gcc: -Wl,--whole-archive -lmyextlib -ldl -Wl,--no-whole-archive libtool link: -lrt -lcrypto -lmyextlib -ldl -pthread -O2 -pthread -Wl,--whole-archive -Wl,--no-whole-archive example/*/Makefile.am When compiling the example app, linker command line just has -lmyextlib and doesn't have --whole-archive/--no-whole-archive at all. How to propogate the --whole-archive/--no-whole-archive all the way down to example app linking?. Importantly, it should be around the -lmyextlib. I can make changes only at platform/targetA/Makefile.am as example/* is common across all other platforms. Note: Tried libtool's suggestion of -Wl,'-whole-archive -lfoo -no-whole-archive' as mentioned in lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2002-05/msg00043.html but that didn't work. Am I missing something here? What I am trying to achieve is completely wrong? Thanks, Venkatesh.
