AFAIK this is the subject of this whole thread about -rpath: how could
we create binary distributions that WORK... (other than statically
linking all executables of course...)

ist to discuss packaging systems (I don't know but I'm quite
sure there exist mailing lists or newsgroups on RPM, DEB, etc. :-)) Here
we are talking about how libtool could help isolate us from the
peculiarities of different OSes, and I think this is enough work :-)

o
use non perfect systems, so libtool must avoid using -rpath in this
case.
Please, to try to clear up this thread, could someone familiar with
ld.so say exactly what happens on Linux (and possibly on other platforms
also).

Bernard

ng /dev, and place
/opt/devian in ld.so.conf).
Once more this proves that -rpath is harmful: If Devian use -rpath thsi
will *force* the other distribution makers to place Devian-specific
stuff in /dev (and if Devian was crazy, placing standard stuff in /dev,
their programs will only work
ituation Alexandre (that is libtool) is deciding in
place of the package builder, and with a scheme where the package
installer is stuck if things do not work right out-of-the-box.

Bernard
PS. Anyway Alexandre you've made a great job with libtool; why I'm a bit
ups
der; I'm a software writer that want his programs to
work on as many systems as possible, with as few problems as possible,
and to be able to distribute these programs with a nice, quick,
installer because my users will be totally unable (Err.. perhaps not all
but many of them :-)) to understand wha
inker
will find it, and then -rpath is a nuisance.

libc5 or libc6 based,
linux boxes, so I build *new* programs with a libc5 setup, and I woudl
like to be able to use libtool instead of having to had-craft shared
library setup (remember I also have to work on Suns, HPs, etc...)
