[E-devel] Imlib2 compile problems without libImlib2 installed ...

[Timshel K. <ti...@po...>]

Hi,

I've had compile problems linking imlib2's loader libraries with
libImlib2 - the issue is that the linking stuff in
imlib2/loaders/Makefile.am is incorrectly implemented. The correct way
to get libtool to link with a built-but-not-yet-installed library is to
give it the .la file of the library in LIBADD. An alternative solution
would be to change all occurances of "$(top_builddir)/src" in the
various LIBADD variables to "$(top_builddir)/src/.libs", which is where
the .so resides. However, I believe that the first method is the
"correct" way to do this in libtool terms.

A patch to CVS e17/imlib2/loaders/Makefile.am is attached to this
effect.

Cheers,

Timshel
