Re: Need a way to pass options to libtool

[David Fang]

Hi,
        I ran across a thread about adding options to libtool in automake
or autoconf (since I was looking for the same answer myself).  (Last post
May 29, 2004)  I've devised a little autoconf solution that may help:

In configure.in, somwhere after AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, add (e.g.):

LIBTOOL="$LIBTOOL --silent"

or whatever flags you wish, and this results in:

LIBTOOL = $(SHELL) $(top_builddir)/libtool --silent

in all Makefiles generated by that autoconf'd configure script.

With a little clever variable manipulation, you may be able to substitute
"--silent" with more user-options.  Perhaps per-Makefile libtool flags?


Regards,

David
