Hello,
I use libtool-2.4.2. In the Makefile.am I have
lib_LTLIBRARIES = libA.a libB.la
libA_la_SOURCES = ...
libB_la_SOURCES = ...
libB_la_LIBADD = libA.la
bin_PROGRAMS = c
c_SOURCES = ...
c_LDADD = libB.la
This creates a file libB.la which lists libA.la (with its full path)
under dependency_libs .
Executing "make" leads to
libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -o c libB.la
And now, on my system this expands (correctly) to
libtool: link: gcc -o c /.libs/libB.so /.libs/libA.so
but on another system it resolves to
libtool: link: gcc -o c /.libs/libB.so
-> ERROR
ld: c.o: undefined reference to symbol 'A'
ld: note: 'A' is defined in DSO libA.so.0 so try adding it to the
linker command line
libA.so.0: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
