[Plplot-devel] dependencies not fully working

[Geoffrey F. <fu...@ga...>]

HI,

I'm documenting this to the list mainly so we don't forget it.  This
may be something that falls on me, but since there's been a lot of
work on the config system lately, and since I /thought/ I had this
working in the past, I'll post it here:

I did a full build, then:

[furnish@dhcp-814-13 tmp]$ touch xwin.c
[furnish@dhcp-814-13 tmp]$ make -n
gcc -fPIC -c          -O    -I. -I/home/furnish/xenon/include -MD -MF
shared/.d.xwin -MP -c xwin.c -o shared/xwin.o
gcc -shared -fPIC -o drivers/xwin_drv.so shared/xwin.o
-L/home/furnish/xenon/lib -ltcl8.3 -ltk8.3 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11
-L. -lplplottcltk -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/home/furnish/devel/plplot/tmp
[furnish@dhcp-814-13 tmp]$ make
gcc -fPIC -c          -O    -I. -I/home/furnish/xenon/include -MD -MF
shared/.d.xwin -MP -c xwin.c -o shared/xwin.o
gcc -shared -fPIC -o drivers/xwin_drv.so shared/xwin.o
-L/home/furnish/xenon/lib -ltcl8.3 -ltk8.3 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11
-L. -lplplottcltk -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/home/furnish/devel/plplot/tmp

The make -n made me suspicious, the make confirmed it.  Dependencies
are only firing for shared things, not for static (non -fPIC) build
products.  What is supposed to happen is that both xwin.o's should be
produced, and the static lib rebuilt, etc.
