Where exactly are you seeing an issue? Even if you use -Wl,FLAG, libtool may well still screw it up, because it arbitrarily re-orders all -Wl,FLAG args to come after/ the -lLIB args. This breaks flags which are position sensitive like -Wl,--as-needed eg libdemo_la_LDFLAGS = -Wl,--as-needed -lm -Wl,--no-as-needed -lvirt will get turned into gcc .... -lm -lvirt -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--no-as-needed Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :| _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
