Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have an issue with libtool and cross compile. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
When merging a library which uses libtool, it creates the .la file |
| 6 |
with libdir= variable, usually it will contain /usr/lib. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
When merging another package that also uses libtool and depends on the |
| 9 |
library, it takes the libdir value from the .la file and link the .so |
| 10 |
using absolute path. So it will be use /usr/lib/<lib>.so |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Because of this behavior of libtool, trying to override the library |
| 13 |
location by LDFLAGS="-L<whatever>" does not work. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I also tried to specify LDFLAGS="-Wl,--sysroot -Wl,${SYSROOT}" and |
| 16 |
LDFALGS="-Wl,-rpath-link -Wl,${SYSROOT}/usr/lib" without luck. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Eventually I ended up with patching every package I use with the |
| 19 |
following patch in order to make it work: |

|

|
| 33 |
But I don't believe I am the first one who has this problem, and the |
| 34 |
idea of patching each package seems not right. I expect the <cross>-ld |
| 35 |
to pre-append the cross root to every absolute path. |
