What you say is true. Luckily for me For compatibility with other ELF linkers, if the `-R' option is followed by a directory name, rather than a file name, it is treated as the `-rpath' option. so I get there by the back door. The original problem was that there was no -rpath -rpath-link nor -R. Cheers, Patrick (from libtool --config: # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler. wl="-Wl," # Flag to hardcode $libdir into a binary during linking. # This must work even if $libdir does not exist hardcode_libdir_flag_spec="\${wl}-rpath \${wl}\$libdir" ) _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
