RE: Shared library with U suffix not installed

[Lawrence, David (STEI)]

Robert,

Thank you for your offer of assistance.  Please note, I don't believe this
is a tool problem, just a problem with me correctly defining the
Makefile.am(s) to produce the output I need.

The directory structure is as follows:

build
    src
        include
        comutil
            include
        dmiapi
        dmiutil
        dmionc
        psl
        wrap2
        oncsp

There is a Makefile.am in each directory.  comutil is the static library.
dmiapi, dmiutil, dmionc and wrap2 each make shared libraries.  The shared
libraries created by dmionc and wrap2 depend on the one or both of the other
shared libraries.

psl and oncsp both crate daemons.  It is the make for oncsp that aborts on
an error.  The undefined reference is to a function in the static library
comutil.

Here is the output of the build log at the point of failure:

David:

It's a bit hard to debug without the exact shell commands and their
errors.
For the static library, you'll want to use a Libtool convience library,
for the others a normal Libtool library.  Post the exact commands and
errors that you get and perhaps we can help.

Cheers!

Robert
