Re: Suppressing --whole-archive
Hi Ralf, Ralf Wildenhues a écrit : [...] Do files /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.la and /usr/lib/mysql/libz.la exist, and if yes, could you please post their contents? Yes they exist. [...] OK, now I'm officially confused. Both of the libraries are not convenience archives (as indicated by the nonempty 'libdir' and 'installed' settings). So I still don't see where this whole archive thingy comes from. Could be one of the other libraries. But in order to be able to say for sure, I would need to look at the output of /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CXX --config as well as the output of the --mode=link command line above, with --debug added as first argument after ../../libtool. Please gzip this output, it will be large. I am not completely sure of what you asked in second (--mode=link) but here is what I did : /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CXX --config libtoolOutput1.txt /bin/sh ../../libtool --debug --tag=CXX --mode=link libtoolOutput2.txt 21 I would be pleased to send other information if that was not what you meant.

Suppressing --whole-archive
Is there a way to suppress the insertion of --whole-archive/--no-whole-archive placed around static libraries when linking them with a shared library? I have an autotools project containing common code that is linked as several convenience libraries which are subsequently used by both binaries and shared objects within the project. When linking binaries with the convenience libs, only those symbols referenced are brought into the binary. When linking shared objects (e.g. an Apache module, call it mod_foo), all symbols from the convenience libs are included in mod_foo since Libtool wraps them in --whole-archive/--no-whole-archive. I would like only those symbols referenced by mod_foo to be included.I have tried adding the -rpath option to LDFLAGS of the convenience libs with the result that both static and shared libs are created. Libtool then chooses the shared version of the "convenience" libs when linking mod_foo and hence all of the referenced symbols are undefined in mod_foo.I have also tried the lib_LTLIBRARIES primary form with combinations of -static and -rpath LDFLAGS with similar results, i.e. I either get all of the symbols from the "convenience" libs or none.I was unable to locate a similar issue in the archives and the answer is not obvious to me from section 3.7 of the manual. My workaround is to directly create Makefile.in's in the shared object directories and bypass Libtool from linking but would prefer to be consistent and use Automake/Libtool throughout the project.Libtool 1.4.2Automake 1.6.3Autoconf 2.53Thanks in advance.Jim ___ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
