Are you saying there was a .la file in /usr/lib for a library that is _not_ in /usr/lib? Or are there multiple versions of this library on the system, one in /usr/lib and one elsewhere? There are multiple versions of this library, one in /usr/lib (with a .la file), and one elsewhere, without a .la file. I need the one elsewhere, because I'm crosscompiling. I know I should probably try what happens when both have a .la file, but the second one was not built with libtool, it's a stripped down version for an embedded target.

OK, now I've given the library in -Ldir a .la file as well. Now both libraries have a .la file, and libtool-1.5.2 uses the correct library, in -Ldir. So that's solved then. I don't want to go back to 1.4.3 to try whether that also would have worked with both .la files in place. Thanks for the help guys.

libtool 1.4.3 searches /usr/lib before -Ldir
I've asked for help about this problem twice in the last few weeks, without any replies. In the meantime I've done some searching in the libtool list history, and I came across this: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg04324.html This seems to be exactly the same problem I'm having. Now I'm wondering, has the reason, and possibly a solution for this problem been found in the meantime?

libtool-1.5.2 searches /usr/lib before -Ldir
I've downloaded and installed libtool-1.5.2, and tried the same as with my reports about 1.4.3 It behaves exactly the same, it finds libraries in /usr/lib, instead of where -L wants them to be found. Then I replaced newlib_search_path=something else here $newlib_search_path by newlib_search_path=$newlib_search_path something else here everywhere in ltmain.in, one by one, but that did not make a difference. Then I took another look at the --debug output of the libtool script, and it occurred to me that libtool is actually looking for an .la script. When it does not find the .la script, it passes the original -lxyz parameter to gcc, instead of trying to replace it by the library it thinks should be used. gcc knows how to use -Ldir, and links against the correct library. So I removed the .la script belonging to my library in /usr/lib, libtool does not find it anymore, and now it works. But I guess that's not the preferred way to handle this...

Wrong library search path
When crosscompiling an autoconf/automake project, I pass the target's libary path with LDFLAGS= -L /compiletarget/lib as argument for the configure script. But now a libtool script is created, that contains the following variable: sys_lib_search_path_spec=/lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib These paths contain of course the libraries of my workstation, incompatible with the crosscompile target. During the link stage, indeed, things go wrong. The libtool script is called, with --mode=link, and -L/compiletarget/lib, all object files and a library I want to link against: -ltc Now the libtool script replaces -ltc by /usr/lib/libtc.so, it found my workstations version of the library, in the lib_search_path_spec. It should have used /compiletarged/lib/libtc.so instead. Linking fails, the library is not in a valid format for the target. Are there any special things I need to do to tell libtool it is being used in a crossbuild? Or can I influence the value of 'sys_lib_search_path_spec' that will be used? Used versions: autoconf 2.57 libtool 1.4.3 Regards, Pieter ___ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
