The [possible] problem I see with this is that on different machines/distributions, the mount point is a moving target. For exmple, take a look at the mount point when you insert a USB stick on Ubuntu (its a GUID). I don't really care how its mounted (auto mount by OS, browse to with Network Browser (udevd?), etc) - I want to be able to get to it unambiguously. And /smb://fileserver/fileshar/dir/ is unambiguous. > Make the kernel do the work, not gcc. Agreed. I'm trying to get someone to do the work for me ;) Jeff On Sun, Oct 17, 2010 at 2:18 PM, Aubin LaBrosse <zoticus@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > It'd seem to me you'd have an easier time of it if you mounted it in the kernel first (using mount -t cifs or mount -t smbfs) and then use -I and -L with the Linux mount point. > > Make the kernel do the work, not gcc. > > -a > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Oct 17, 2010, at 9:59 AM, Jeffrey Walton <noloader@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> A quick quest on linking to a library on a windows share. >> >> GCC silently consumes non-existent paths.
