from the info page:

8.3.5 Libtool Convenience Libraries
-----------------------------------

Sometimes you want to build libtool libraries that should not be
installed. These are called "libtool convenience libraries" and are
typically used to encapsulate many sublibraries, later gathered into
one big installed library.

-> the problem is "not be installed"

the base library from my project is "libmsgque" and this library is
used for the following purpose:

1. installed as library
2. used as base library for a language-extension library
3. used as base library for some test-tools.

for 2+3 I don't want to link again the shared libraray of "libmsgque"

Q: what is foo?

I try "tclmsgque_LIBTOOLFLAGS" -> no change
I look into the "Makefile" and get

...
tclmsgque_la-context_tcl.lo: context_tcl.c
$(LIBTOOL) --tag=CC $(AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS) $(LIBTOOLFLAGS) --mode=compile
$(CC) $(DEFS) $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $

ue_la-context_tcl.lo `test -f 'context_tcl.c' || echo
'$(srcdir)/'`context_tcl.c
...
as you see only $(AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS) $(LIBTOOLFLAGS) are used ????
->I'm confused
the info page speek about
...
If `LIBRARY_LIBTOOLFLAGS' is not defined, the global
`AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS' variable is used instead.
...

about LIBRARY_LIBTOOLFLAGS well even the "LIBRARY" prefix does not work
->I'm more confused

than I try AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS

and get the following error...

/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC -tag=disable-static --mode=compile ccache gcc

libtool: unrecognized option `-tag=disable-static'
libtool: Try `libtool --help' for more information.
make: *** [tclmsgque_la-context_tcl.lo] Fehler 1

after a look inti the info page I change "-tag" to "--tag" ..

next try

now it works ...........

summary:

change:

foo_LIBTOOLFLAGS = -tag=disable-static

into

AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS = --tag=disable-static

than it is fine

Re: testsuite failures when test scripts are run with zsh

2009-12-05T06:09:34Z

I have rebased my private branch against master, and also amended the
patch a bit (to deal with the test `cscope.test', which used a
`$MAKE 2>stderr' redirection that I missed). The updated patch is
attached.

Regards,
Stefano
