How to do that? Does this help? <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.autoconf.general/10512/focus=10515> <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.general/9363/focus=9365> > SMF_LIBS="../libsmf/src/.libs/libsmf.a" Strictly speaking, it could be .libs or _libs (but systems where .libs doesn't work are dying out). Anyway, you shouldn't have to know. The rest is answered in the threads above. Cheers, Ralf, in recycling answers mode ;-) _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
