I was under the impression that it is picked up by the configure process. [And, incidentally, I am not sure that libtool does solve more problems than it creates. There aren't too many 'funny' UNIX version alive anymore, and we never used the option of building shared libs. Still we pay with increased build times.] >> In fact, I had this week a variety of Qt build on Mac (mostly 4.4 - 4.6) >> under my fingers, but certainly have not needed to touch any .la file/ > > With a similar build-system as we use in LyX (statically built Qt, and > using autotools/configure/make-mechanism, not cmake or scons)?

You could still file it on http://trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker The description you gave is detailed enough that people actually might look at it ;-) > All I do is building Qt with: > ./configure -prefix ~/qt-443 -release -static -fast -no-exceptions > -universal -sdk /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -nomake examples -nomake > tools -nomake demos -no-libtiff > > and then building LyX-1.6.0rc3 using the attached script (no autogen on > my side). > > LyX builds fine if beforehand I remove *.la from > /path/to/qt-4.4-install/lib/ > > If I do not do that, linking fails with: [...] I'll make a mental note to try exactly that.
