Hi libtool dev, We've recently hit an issue cross-compiling some package using libtool for sysroot. Saying libfoo.la contains
libdir=/usr/lib Then libtool will add "-L/usr/lib" to the linker command line during a "relink" against libfoo.la, because ltmain.in:6500: > else > # We cannot seem to hardcode it, guess we'll fake it. > add_dir=-L$libdir ^^^^^^^^^ > # Try looking first in the location we're being installed to. > if test -n "$inst_prefix_dir"; then > case $libdir in > [\\/]*) > func_append add_dir " -L$inst_prefix_dir$libdir" > ;; > esac > fi > add=-l$name > fi Now the linker will try to use the system library in /usr/lib, causing link error or runtime issue. There is a patch at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2021-10/msg00017.html changing -L$libdir to -L$lt_sysroot$libdir at this line, but maybe the author didn't submitted it properly (I guess it should be submitted into https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?group=libtool, instead of the list). Could this change, or something similar be applied in the incoming new release? -- Xi Ruoyao <xry...@mengyan1223.wang> School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University
