cross-compiling question: static libraries and binaries to different places?

2002-03-04 Thread Dan Kegel
I'm cross-developing. I want to build a package that has both static libraries and binaries. The binaries should go to the target system; the libraries should stay on the build system. What do I pass to configure and to make? If I do configure --build=pentium-unknown-linux --host=@IXIA_K_ARCH@-u

You'd think so, but playing games like that might really confuse libtool. What I'd like to see is a fully-worked out example of how to use libtool, with both static and shared libraries, in a cross-compile situation, without the static libraries leaking out onto the target system. We may need to

, you want the shared libraries go to the target system during install, and the static libraries to stay. May I ask how do you expect the linker to resolve with the shared library if that one is remote? The static lib isn't the same, so, *hhmm* I am a bit confused. So far, I would ha

2002-03-04 Thread Dan Kegel
Here's what happens when you try to use --libdir. When doing builds into a staging area, you pass the path to the staging area to make as DESTDIR. So if DESTDIR is /foo, but you want libraries to go to /usr/lib, you're screwed; nothing you put into --libdir will make them go anywhere but a subd
