Looks good to me!
FYI: In the past I have had success in trimming the size of the library
list by carefully not renaming libraries that are already listed as
deplibs of other libraries that are linked. That is:
libfoo.la depends on libbar.la
libbaz.la depends on libfoo.la and libbar.la
libquux.la also depends on libbaz.la etc.
If I naively link an application like this:
application_LDADD = libquux.la libbaz.la libfoo.la libbar.la
The link ine will look something like this:
gcc ... -o application ... .libs/libquux.so .libs/libbaz.so \
.libs/libfoo.so .libs/libbar.so .libs/libbaz.so .libs/libfoo.so \
.libs/libbar.so .libs/libfoo.so .libs/libbar.so .libs/libbar.so
Alternatively:
application_LDADD = libquux.la
will examine the deplibs and produce the much more managable:
gcc ... -o application ... .libs/libquux.so .libs/libbaz.so \
.libs/libfoo.so .libs/libbar.so
HTH,
Gary.
