chmod 644 *.a

Why do we chmod static libraries 644 after we install them? What's wrong with leaving them at whatever the install line specified? -jeff ___ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool

Hmm. I was having trouble trying to feed 'xargs' it's data without actually putting it all on a command-line at some point(silly, eh?). In any event, perhaps something like this will work: for each file ... $rmfiles=$rmfiles $some_files_to_delete ... if 100 < -l "$rmfi

hard-link locking & filesystems

2002-01-31 Thread Jeff Dubrule
When a compiler is insufficiently cool, libtool uses hard-link locking to prevent the same file from being compiled in the same place. It does this by waiting until: ln /usr/bin/libtool whatever.lock succeeds. However, if libtool is installed on a different filesystem from where the compile is

chmod 644?

2002-12-31 Thread Jeff Dubrule
For static libraries, is it necessary that they be chmod'd 644? This is done automatically by libtool, and I was wondering if there was a way to leave them 664 (as install's -m flag specifies). Thanks, -jeff ___ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]
