Well, my preference would be to implement the change to libtool described in my previous message, but since that had been proposed many years ago and was not done, I assume that there's some reason why it's a bad idea that I'm not aware of. pkg-config supports having separate dependency lists for static linking and shared linking, which seems to adequately address this problem (if that feature is actually used; the documentation last I looked was a bit lacking and a lot of pkg-config *.pc providers aren't aware of it). libtool could do something similar, but there would have to be some way to tell libtool which libraries are required for shared linking and which are required only for static linking. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
