Inter-library dependencies
Hi!
I have a very annoying problem in my package GQL (GQL.sourceforge.net
for more info).
I have the source package producing various binary packages (mostly
shared libraries); lets call them A and B. The problem is *building*
binary package B (containing library libb) needs liba from package A
to be *installed* due to a libtool limitation regarding dynamic
libraries (to be specific: libtool can't link a uninstalled dynamic
lib into another one.)
How can I solve this (without doing another source-package split,
which I already have done for, say, A and B, but now C is coming up
with the same problem... ;-()
Do I have some way to tell the build process:
First make A, then install it, then B, then C, then install C, (which
is needed by D), then make D, or something like that?
I'm really, really glad about any help!
Andy
PS: The libtool manual promises this issue to be solved in the future,
but when?
