The following is valid, and libtool is in my opinion being too "helpful". It was never a problem before the existence, and increasing usage of, libtool.
The situation below represents how we build all of our applications. After the make install (if it would succeed...), we "release" the area /afs/rcf/system/dest/lin24v2/local/myapp/010 to some of our machines. They have a symlink '/usr/rcf' which points to this "beta" release area. The software is tested. When it is found to be legit, we release that area to our production machines which have a '/usr/rcf' symlink pointing to the 'production' release area. ./configure --prefix=/usr/rcf make make install prefix=/afs/rcf/system/dest/lin24v2/local/myapp/010 ... Cannot install foo to a directory not ending in /usr/rcf/whatever-here _______________________________________________ Bug-libtool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-libtool
