Circular dependecy linker trouble

[Søren Boll Overgaard]

Hello,

I've recently migrated a rather large body of code from a proprietary 
development environment, to an automake based one.

I've run into trouble during linking though. The code is laid out like 
this:

src/ 
Contains main.cpp which holds the main method

src/framework/ 
Contains framework code. All files in here are packed into an archive 
libframework.a.

src/services/
Contains service related code. All files in here are packed into an 
archive libservices.a

No other programs need these archives, so I guess I could just as well 
link with the object files directly, if I could determine a clean way of 
doing that.

Framework code depends on services code and vice versa. 
Linking fails to resolve dependencies. The linker command line 
essentially looks like this:

g++  -g -O2 ../src/framework/libframework.a ../src/services/
liblmsservices.a  -o program main.o  -lpthread

I've tried fiddling with the --start-group and --end-group linker flags 
as well. Alas to no avail.

Can anyone explain to me what I am doing wrong?

If it makes a difference, I am using:
automake (GNU automake) 1.10
gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)
