libtool check libraries always result in 'uninstalled' binary script

[James Leek]

Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem.  I would really like to build my 
tests as installed-type binaries when I run 'make installcheck' in order 
to make it easier to run a debugger on them.  However, each tests 
requires its own dynamically loadable convenience library.  This library 
is obviously never installed, neither are the test binaries, so the test 
binary links against this uninstalled convenience library, resulting in 
the 'uninstalled binary' script.  Is there any way to get libtool to 
treat the convenience library as installed?  After all, I will never 
actually install it, so the library is not going to move, so it seems to 
me that the script is actually unnecessary.

Here's some macros I use from my automake Makefile.am for the 
master/slave test:

check_PROGRAMS = Master Slave
check_SCRIPTS  = lt-Master
check_LTLIBRARIES = libslave.la libslave_cxxstub.la

nodist_libslave_la_SOURCES = $(GENERATED_SRCS)
libslave_la_SOURCES = $(DISTRIBUTED_SRCS)
libslave_la_LDFLAGS = -no-undefined -release $(VERSION) \
                     $(MPI_CXX_LDFLAGS) $(AM_LDFLAGS) -rpath `pwd`/.libs

nodist_libslave_cxxstub_la_SOURCES = $(IORHDRS) $(STUBHDRS) $(STUBSRCS)
libslave_cxxstub_la_LDFLAGS = -no-undefined -release $(VERSION) \
                             $(MPI_CXX_LDFLAGS) -rpath `pwd`/.libs

Master_SOURCES = Master.cxx
Master_DEPENDENCIES = babel-stamp
Master_LDADD = ./libslave_cxxstub.la ./libslave.la

Slave_SOURCES = Slave.cxx
Slave_DEPENDENCIES = babel-stamp
Slave_LDADD = ./libslave.la ./libslave_cxxstub.la $(LIBCOOP_LIBDIRS)

installcheck-local : installcheck-not-check
   $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) \
       LIBCOOP_INCLDIRS=-I$(includedir) \
       LIBCOOP_LIBDIRS=-L$(libdir) \
       LIBCOOP_PYPATH=$(bindir) \
       $(check_LTLIBRARIES) $(check_PROGRAMS) \
       $(check_SCRIPTS) check-TESTS
