I've read through the libtool manual and google'd around, but the following has me dumfounded.
When I compile the librfm library (basic functions for Rodent Filemanager, http://xffm.org), I get the following stuff in .libs: -- lrwxrwxrwx 1 edscott users 16 nov 3 00:18 librfm1.so.1 -> librfm1.so.1.0.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 edscott users 261997 nov 3 00:18 librfm1.so.1.0.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 edscott users 12 nov 3 00:18 librfm.la -> ../librfm.la -rw-r--r-- 1 edscott users 952 nov 3 00:18 librfm.lai lrwxrwxrwx 1 edscott users 16 nov 3 00:18 librfm.so -> librfm1.so.1.0.1 But the librfm.la file specifies a weird name: # The name that we can dlopen(3). dlname='librfmlibrfm1.so.1.so.1' This symlink gets generated when I do a make install. Why does libtool use this weird name? I guess it means something, but I can't figure it out. Other libraries I create with libtool have regular a "dlname" (one of the "library_names"). Could anyone please tell me what libtool means when this kind of weird dlname is generated in the .la file? Any pointer would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Edscott Wilson Garcia Applied Mathematics and Computing Mexican Petroleum Institute
