RE: adding libraries and header file directories

[Jim Rainville]

Doh! Sometimes I fail to see the forest for the trees. So I copied the
link line and added the --perserve-dup-deps flag. Something weird
happens here. It's cutting off a lot of the file names. I thought at
first it was a copy and paste error but its not - libtool seems to be
doing something really weird. Out put below.

Thanks.
Jim

If you are using Automake 1.10, then you can put this in LIBTOOLFLAGS
(as user) or AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS (as developer).

But just for testing, please go into the right directory and simply
issue the link command line manually, with --preserve-dup-deps added.
And post what happens.  Thing is, this switch isn't as "helpful" as
one would think at first, and I would like to know if that is the
case in your case or not.  :-)

If it's not, then we will look further.

Cheers,
Ralf
