Message-Id: <200504241942.23551.neundorf () kde ! org> X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=111436457108353 Hi, I'm trying to build the kdevelop module with cmake (i.e. without autotools and without libtool). Now I'm at the point to do something with the libtool convinience libraries. If I simply create static libs (instead of the libtool conv. libs) and link them to the shared libs nothing from the static libs is inserted into the shared lib (since this one doesn't reference anything from the static lib). If it is linked using libtool, the contents of the static lib are inserted into the shared lib. What does libtool magically do ? I mean, in the end it must come down to some gcc/ld/ar/ranlib options I think. So, can anybody shed some light on me, how can I have the same effect manually ?
