It looks like it's a list of libraries that exist and that this is how programs get linked against those libraries. It's not clear to me (given a casual inspection) why bsd.lib.mk doesn't need the same logic for libraries that are linked to other libraries, but it apparently doesn't. > Is there a better way that we can accomplish this? Probably. It looks like someone needs to take a machete to the make library :-/ -- David A. Holland dholl...@netbsd.org
