I'm posting this again, this time a little more elaborate, since noone replied to my last mail. (Strange devel list, a hundred posts about a mascot and not a single answer to a devel question :-/ ) I have a question which probably is about libtool. The scenario is like this: I have a java program, which uses a native library I have written; this works fine. But my library needs to access kde libraries, and it is not possible for me to change the java code to do this directly. So my question is, how can I tell libtool how to get access to the kde and qt libs? This is the Makefile of my cpp source dir: INCLUDES=-I../include/ -I/usr/local/java/include/ \ -I/usr/local/java/include/genunix/ -I/usr/local/qt/include LIBS=-L/usr/local/java/lib -L/usr/local/qt/lib -lqt CPP=g++ -Wall -g -O CPPSOURCES=$(shell find . -name '*.cpp' -print) CPPOBJECTS=${CPPSOURCES:.cpp=.lo} TARGET=libkdeawt.la TARGETDIR=/home/bo/Programmering/AwtKde/lib all: lib install %.lo: %.cpp touch ../include/bool.h libtool $(CPP) -export-dynamic $(INCLUDES) $(LIBS) -c $< lib: $(CPPOBJECTS) .libs/$(TARGET) .libs/$(TARGET): $(CPPSOURCES) libtool $(CPP) -export-dynamic -o $(TARGET) $(CPPOBJECTS) $(LIBS) -rpath $(TARGETDIR) install: lib $(TARGETDIR)/$(TARGET) $(TARGETDIR)/$(TARGET): lib libtool install -c $(TARGET) $(TARGETDIR)/$(TARGET) clean: find . -name '*~' -print | xargs $(RM) find . -name '*.o' -print | xargs $(RM) find . -name '*.lo' -print | xargs $(RM) find . -name 'lib*' -print | xargs $(RM) $(RM) -rf .libs And this is the runtime error from my java test program: /home/bo/Programmering/AwtKde/lib/libkdeawt.so: undefined symbol: __ti11QMainWindow (libkdeawt.so) java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no kdeawt in shared library path at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary(Runtime.java) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java) at test.FrameTest.(FrameTest.java) at test.FrameTest.main(FrameTest.java) -- Bo Thorsen gobo@imada.sdu.dk Lahnsgade 31, st.
