installation of .la-files and linking against installed libraries

2000-03-06 Thread Assar Westerlund
Hi. Two questions: 1. Why are the *.la files installed? The comment says: # Install the pseudo-library for information purposes. 2. How do you link against an installed library? As far as I can tell, there's no support of doing that. And it would seem to me that libtool is the ideal

AC_CANONICAL_BUILD

2000-03-06 Thread Bob Friesenhahn
