It should be:
fi
+ ;;
+ --rflags)
+ echo "-Wl,-rpath,${libdir}"
;;
Notice the second comma! A more libtool like way to do it, is
fi
+ ;;
+ --rflags)
+ echo "-Wl,-rpath -Wl,${libdir}"
;;
Please note, that not all platforms support this (of course GNU/Linux
does ;-). Other than that, it's probably a good idea.
I have another suggestion too: Can't ROOT (or is it CINT) do away with
the requirement that a library to be loaded _must_ end with
[.so|.sl|.a|.dll]?. Or at least allow extra stuff, like version
numbers, after one of these patterns. What I'd like to be able to do
is:
gSystem->Load("/lib/libc.so.6")
(ofcourse I don't intend on loading libc into ROOT, that doesn't make
sense, but it was what I could think of off the top of my head).
Yours,
Christian -----------------------------------------------------------
