Re: question about AC_LTDL_SYS_DLOPEN_DEPLIBS

[Robert Boehne]

Tim:

I had a dlopen test case laying around that I simply added a dependent
library to.  The problem with it is that it doesn't use Libtool or
libltdl.  So I had to hack it to run it under IRIX.
  As far as putting it in the macro, I think this is
a good idea to use a test as a fallback, i.e. if we don't know
whether or not it is supported, attempt the test.  If somthing
breaks in ltdl, Libtool wouldn't assume deplibs were dlopened,
and it would mask unknown problems to some degree.
  Here is the test case, if someone wants to libtoolize it, we
could add it to the macro (and clean it up, it wasn't written
to be distributed freely ;0 )
