Linked/Shared Librairies

[Xavier Décoret]

Hi,

Two questions. I am building a package with a convenient library that is 
then used by some other library/program that the package install. The 
base library is libbase and the Makefile.am for it looks like this:

lib_LTLIBRARIES = libbase.la
libbase.la_SOURCES = base.C

A subsequent library is libmytools and the Makefile for it is:

lib_LTLIBRARIES = libmytools.la
libmytools.la_SOURCES = mytools.C
libmytools_la_LIBADD = $(top_builddir)/base/libxdkbibtexparsers.la

First question: I would like the libmytools.so to be linked with the 
libbase.a so that I can distribute this .so alone without distributing 
libbase.so (yes, there is a good reason for doing so ;-)). How can I do 
this? Right now, I have AC_ENABLE_STATIC in my configure.in so both 
libbase.a and libbase.so gets *installed* if I do make install. But when 
I do make, only a libbase.la is build in 
$(top_builddir)/base/libxdkbibtexparsers.la. How can I tell libtool that 
what I want in LIBADD is a link with the static version of the lib?

Second question: because I place AC_ENABLE_STATIC in the configure.in to 
get libbase.a and libbase.so, then I also have both libmytools.a and 
libmytools.so. How can I indicate *per library* that I want both/only 
one of static/shared librairies?

Thanks.
