So now should actually list some of the ideas I had: 1. Use rpath for the local notmuch, (and use chrpath to remove it at the time of "make install"). 2. Create a little shell script that calls LD_LIBRARY_PATH locally, but then install the real program, (not very unlike what libtool does). 3. Create a static program locally, but install a shared version. 4. Create a static program by default, and make distributions pass a --shared option to get the shared version that they want. I can see advantages and disadvantages to each approach. -Carl -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
