[Osalp-dev] automake and autoconf

[Bruce F. <for...@ad...>]

I have been trying the last couple of weeks to convert the
library over to the autoconf and automake GNU way of building
the library. I am having a very difficult time. The documentation
in my opinion is very bad. Most of it seems to consist of giving
the reason for this software existing instead of explaining how
it works. Several things I can't figure out.

1. I am including a local copy of libaudiofile library. I need to
   link a .a version with the formatlib libraries that use this library,
   wav, au, aifc, aiff. When I try to do this I get the error:
   /usr/bin/ld: .libs/libaflibWavFile.so.0.0.0: undefined versioned
symbol name clog@@GLIBC_2.1
/usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libaflibWavFile.la] Error 1

   Anyone know what this means?                                       


2. I want the libraries under formatlib to only build .so files.
   I can't figure out how to do this. It also creates one shared
   object file and then several links to it with version numbers
   on the library such as .0 and .0.0.0. I don't want these
   version versions. How do I get rid of these?

Or better yet is there anyone that would like to fix up the library with
autoconf automake and libtool? I could check in what I have. I am not
really
up to fighting with these tools another month.

Any help would be appreciated.
