Re: [Devel] HPUX 10.0 compile of freetype and Jam

[Werner LEMBERG]

> When I build the freetype library using make I get the behavior that
  the sl is version 8 (instead of version 6) (thank you libtool) which
  causes other problems for me (such as the name being forced as an
  internal name, the path being forced, librarys is shared but
  statically loaded, etc...).  What I am trying to do is build a
  shared, dynamic load library with the same name on all platforms.
  This is then being used as part of a CAD system for font handling.
  Works find on AIX, Solaris, Linux, Windows NT.  Not so good on
  HPUX 10.

> I can go and modify the way the sl is built by going around libtool
  but would appreciate some incite into why libtool does what it is
  doing (in terms of name, forcing an internal name, +b enabled
  forcing a fixed location on install, +s disabled so that SH_LIBPATH
  does not work, why the library is shared but statically linked,
  etc...).

I believe this is beyond our knowledge.  The probably best solution is
to contact the libtool team <address@hidden>, informing us how to fix
your problem.
