#105 configure doesn't pass LDFLAGS to libtool for 64-bit solaris

[Anonymous]

In order to build for 64-bit solaris, I use the following
configure line:

./configure CC=cc CXX=CC LD=CC CXXFLAGS="-pta
-instances=static -mt -xtarget=generic64 -g
-features=no%transitions -xildoff" LDFLAGS="-
xtarget=generic64 -xildoff"

During the build, however, libtool does not pass these flags
to the linker (see below). It appears that $compiler_flags is
not being set when the libtool script is generated. My
workaround is to insert LDFLAGS into the relevant
$archive_cmds in the libtool script manually.

Relevant variables/files are:

$CXXLINK in src/cppunit/Makefile
$compiler_flags in libtool
$archive_cmds in libtool (grep for -nolib)

Thanks!

(fails because the linker is assuming 32-bit objects [since
LDFLAGS was not passed], but the objects were compiled 64-
bit)

Hi,

I tried to compile on HP UX with 64 bit flag ,libtool was
not created for 64 bit version , so i manulayy edited
libtool and added the options +Da2.0W and it went well.

This issue is easily fixed by using a newer libtool to generate the build files.
libtool-1.5.14 has been used to create the files in cppunit-1.12.0.

I have tried generating the configuration files with libtool-1.5.22 and it does pass the LDFLAGS for 64 bits Solaris.

The newest libtool can be downloaded from http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/

Please use a newer libtool for the next release.
