--tag-option

[Christoph_Wellner]

Hi, 

I'm a developer at the NMM-Project ( www.networkmultimedia.org ) , and we use 
libtool for linking. For speeding up some algorithms, we wrote them in 
assembler and use nasm to compile them, rest is written in C++. Since we are 
using version  1.4.2a (1.922.2.79 2001/11/28 21:50:31), everything works fine 
for us, but we have some users having problems compiling our code using newer 
versions of libtool. They are using version >= 1.5, so they have to call 
libtool with option '--tag=asm' to compile our assembler-code. This is not a 
problem, but it seems, that the latest version of libtool doesn't know the 
--tag-option anymore.
The error-message is this (using version 1.5.6):

 /bin/sh ../../../libtool --tag=asm --mode=compile /bin/sh
 ../../../strip_fPIC.sh nasm -f elf mmx_overlay.asm
 libtool: unrecognized option `--tag=asm'
 Try `libtool --help' for more information.

We are using gcc 2.95 but the problems occur using gcc 3.x
 too.

Can anyone please tell me, how to handle --tag-option with respect to 
different versions of libtool and what exactly the --tag-option is used for 
or where to find information about this option.

thanks in advance

Christoph
