Several individuals have communicated similar requirements here.

Or am I missing something else? Roughly. The .la does not need to encode the $ROOT, but libtool needs to know it when interpreting each .la on the build system. I have a draft patch to do that. If I find some free time, I will finish it and post to libtool-patches. _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
