as much of a tool as Enrico is, he is right that libtool is not currently |

conducive to cross-compiling. pkg-config seems to be doing a nicer job of |

libtool is based off of $libdir (which is usually based off of $prefix). it |

doesnt really have a concept of separating build and run paths. |

a nicer method would probably to add a post-install bashrc hook that mungs the |
| 18 |
installed libtool scripts (*.la) by changing libdir= by prefixing $SYSROOT. |

ive used this in other environments pretty successfully. |

sed -i -e "/^libdir=/s:=:='$SYSROOT':" $SYSROOT/usr/lib*/*.la |
