greeting i am having difficulty with my cross-development setup. i am using: crosstool-0.28-rc37 (i686-linux targetting arm-linux) automake (GNU automake) 1.8.3 autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59 ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.2 (1.1220.2.60 2004/01/25 12:25:08) and i use: DESTDIR=/tmp/XXX PREFIX=/home/foo if i build a lib_LTLIBRARIES target (libprog1.la) in a package (prog1) and install it into DESTDIR, it seems that i cannot use that .la file to (properly) create a bin_PROGRAMS target (prog2) in a second package (also called prog2). the prog2 package has this scrap of m4 in the configure.ac: AC_ARG_WITH([prog1], AS_HELP_STRING([--with-prog1], [use a particular prog1 tree]), [ac_cv_use_prog1=$withval], [ac_cv_use_prog1=.]) AC_SUBST(PROG1_DIR, $ac_cv_use_prog1) and this Makefile.am: bin_PROGRAMS = prog2 prog2_SOURCES = prog2.c prog2_CPPFLAGS = -I$(PROG1_DIR)/include prog2_LDFLAGS = $(PROG1_DIR)/lib/libprog1.la if i then configure the prog2 package with '--with-prog1=${DESTDIR}/${PREFIX}', the build works, and my executable gets installed into $DESTDIR/bin. however, the final executable has this: # armv5b-softfloat-linux-objdump -p /tmp/XXX/home/foo/bin/prog2 Dynamic Section: NEEDED libprog1.so.0 NEEDED libc.so.6 RPATH /tmp/XXX//home/foo/lib it seems to me that this RPATH entry in the final executable should be "RPATH /home/foo/lib", no? how do i get rid of the DESTDIR in my RPATH? how do i tell configure that libprog1.la just happens to be sitting in DESTDIR at the moment, so build against PREFIX, not DESTDIR/PREFIX? please cc, as i'm not subscribed, thanks. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ray L <rayl@xxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
