Relative or independent paths in libtool .la file
My .la file has full pathnames in both the dependency_libs= section and the libdir= section which makes it difficult to copy my libraries to a different machine (same arch but different path structure). What is the solution to this, besides having some script to hack the .la file to adjust for the paths on the new machine? ==Details== When I ./configure; make; make install my libfoo , depending on how I use the --prefix , --exec-prefix , and DESTDIR= flags, I'll get an entry in the libfoo.la file that reads libdir=/dir1/lib and I'll have the actual .so files in the same dir as libfoo.la .
