Re: Newbie: Shared library with subdirs & convenience libs

[Αλέξανδρος Καρυπίδης (Alexandros Karypidis)]

>From the autobook:

`_LIBADD': Like `_LDADD', but used for static libraries and not programs. 

...and I want to create a dynamically library.  Anyway, in either case the 
subsequent make fails and I get:

when using "libgather_la_LIBADD = lib1/libgoodbye1.la lib2/libgoodbye2.la"
make[2]: Entering directory `/offline/MyWork/Code/C/gnu_build_sys/src'
rpath /tmp/k/lib   lib1/libgoodbye1.la lib2/libgoodbye2.la
make[2]: rpath: Command not found
make[2]: [libgather.la] Error 127 (ignored)
make[2]: Leaving directory `/offline/MyWork/Code/C/gnu_build_sys/src'

When using "libgather_la_LDADD = lib1/libgoodbye1.lo lib2/libgoodbye2.lo" 
(and ignoring automake error) I get:

make[2]: Entering directory `/offline/MyWork/Code/C/gnu_build_sys/src'
rpath /tmp/k/lib
make[2]: rpath: Command not found
make[2]: [libgather.la] Error 127 (ignored)
make[2]: Leaving directory `/offline/MyWork/Code/C/gnu_build_sys/src'
