The script just works this way. You tell it at the command line which
binaries to look at. With -L you say where the libraries are (if it
shouldn't use the system libraries). It will reduce all libraries it can
find a pic file for. Other libraries are copied to DEST.
I have two (or three?) bug reports against the current version in
boot-floppies, one only affects C++ using binaries. I will try to put some
time aside to look at them...
marcus@ulysses[0]:~$ gnu/hurd/release/mklibs.sh --help
Usage: gnu/hurd/release/mklibs.sh [OPTION]... -d DEST FILE ...
Make a set of minimal libraries for FILE ... in directory DEST.
Options:
-L DIRECTORY Add DIRECTORY to library search path.
-n, --dry-run Don't actually run any commands; just print them.
-v, --verbose Print additional progress information.
-V, --version Print the version number and exit.
-h, --help Print this help and exit.
-d, --dest-dir DIRECTORY Create libraries in DIRECTORY.
Required arguments for long options are also mandatory for the short
options.
Thanks,
Marcus
