Re: How use --whole-archive ld arg with libtool ?

[Boehne, Robert]

Alain:

Static libraries don't understand -export-dynamic, it doesn't
make any sense.  If you configure with --disable-shared
then you won't have any modules to dlopen, because
they will be static, and you would already have the resolved
symbols in your executable.

HTH,

Robert
