It can be very handy. This isn't a problem for Tru64 UNIX because hardcode_into_libs=no. If hardcode_into_libs=yes, Tru64 UNIX would have the same problem. -- albert chin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ___ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool

I must be missing something, because I'm not seeing how that's different from other osf-style linkers. Tru64 executables pick up the DT_RPATH from each and every library they link directly against -- I guess I've never thought about or checked whether they pick up the RPATH for libraries that their libraries depend on. I know you're very familiar with the Tru64 linker/loader behavior. Can you explain what's different that you're surprised about in the IRIX linker vs. the Tru64 linker or other osf-style linkers? I actually like and have made great use of the "executables pick up the RPATH entries for libraries they link against". It can be very handy.

Ok, rather than doing this, I'm going to set fast_install=no on IRIX. -- albert chin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ___ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
