Re: build and installation names

[Wesley Smith]

Thanks for all the help.  I'll address the paths in later refinements,
but for now, I'd like to understand why the error is happening in this
particular instance.

Yes, thank you.  canonicalization is exactly what I was talking about.
 In my current Makefile.am:

AM_CPPFLAGS = -I/usr/include/lua5.1 -I/usr/include/cairo
-I/usr/include/directfb -I/usr/include/freetype2
lib_LTLIBRARIES = liblua5.1-cairo.la
liblua5_1_cairo_la_LIBADD = -llua5.1 -L/usr/lib -lcairo -L/usr/lib
-ldirectfb -L/usr/lib -lfreetype -L/usr/lib
liblua5_1_cairo_la_SOURCES = src/lcairo.c

Leads to:
/bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc  -g -O2   -o
liblua5.1-cairo.la -rpath /usr/local/lib lcairo.lo -llua5.1 -L/usr/lib
-lcairo -L/usr/lib -ldirectfb -L/usr/lib -lfreetype -L/usr/lib
-lgstapp-0.10 -lgstreamer-0.10 -lcairo -lapr-1 -llua5.1
libtool: link: gcc -shared  .libs/lcairo.o   -Wl,-rpath
-Wl,/home/wesleysmith/Documents/luaav3/modules/cairo/.libs -Wl,-rpath
-Wl,/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1 -L/usr/lib -ldirectfb
/usr/lib/libfreetype.so -lgstapp-0.10 /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so
/home/wesleysmith/Documents/luaav3/modules/cairo/.libs/libcairo.so
/usr/lib/libapr-1.so /usr/lib/liblua5.1.so    -pthread -Wl,-soname
-Wl,liblua5.1-cairo.so.0 -o .libs/liblua5.1-cairo.so.0.0.0


It's for some reason looking for
/home/wesleysmith/Documents/luaav3/modules/cairo/.libs/libcairo.so,
which doesn't make sense.  Firstly, this file doesn't exist, and I'm
not building it in my build process.  Instead, I'm trying to use it to
build a Lua module called liblua5.1-cairo.la.  Is there anything in
the above Makefile.am that would generate such a path?
