OK, thanks. Yes, that's better. I had thought to avoid the extra quoting `\$SCOABSPATH' so that it would be invisible to the user from the libtool output, but the way that is now is ok with me. However, it's a good idea not to carry this into CVS HEAD for another reason: Sometime after 2.0 I may want to reform the quoting stuff a bit, both to allow file names with spaces and possibly for efficiency. Above may not work any more then.
Right, ans I'm sure we will craft an entirely different mechanism for supporting absolute pathnames.
A couple of open questions remain: - was the quoting for allow_undefined_flag different on purpose (i.e., because of some bug in ltmain)?
Almost certainly not. Most likely just habbit. I'll check to make sure though.
- the archive_cmds and archive_expsyms_cmds do not make use of allow_undefined_flag at all (they used to do so before), that makes its setting ineffective. Could you be bothered to post a followup patch to fix this (including ChangeLog entry, if possible)?
Absolutely. I think it was an oversight, but I will test and make sure and ocrrect it.
Here's what I installed. In a followup patch, I'll remove the
Most excelent, thank you Ralf. Kean
