No, not with libtool. I do not want to support that insane approach of tweaking command lines in the middle - it's an Pandorra's Box. I've already spent too much time on it and decided to completely drop it. Instead I prefer *clean* lines. Unitool provides commands on an higher level than, gcc+co do. These commands are on an higher functional level, hiding the individual platform's details. Also including things like importing .la-libs, sysroot, etc. Lt-unitool is a wrapper which parses the libtool commands and calls Unitool to do the actual work. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
