Dear Albert Chin,
regarding Your questions, pls. find the following feedback
> the libtool -rpath option lets the build stop on HP-UX
Q.: What errors are you getting?
A.: There is a -R/usr/local/lib in the linker statement line, which creates
the problem
This is the original error message: (look for the -R/usr/local/lib )
.... most of all omitted....
.libs/libethereal.lax/libdissectors.al/packet-ypserv.lo
.libs/libethereal.lax/libdissectors.al/packet-ypxfr.lo

For the HP-UX linker, the -R statement says
HP-UX 11.00 man page:
-R offset Set the origin (in hexadecimal) for the text
i.e., code) segment.
-R is a Solaris linker rwlated option, perhaps GNU ld too ?
Solaris 9 man page says:
-R path A colon-separated list of directories used to specify
library search directories to the runtime linker. If
present and not NULL, it is recorded in the output
object file and passed to the runtime linker. Multiple
instances of this option are concatenated together
with each path separated by a colon.
Q.:
> The ld of HP-UX uses the -R option for othe rpurpoeses and
> therefore can not link the libs.
Huh? HP's ld uses +b. ANyway, you misunderstand libtool's -rpath
option. The -rpath option to libtool specifies the final directory
where the library will be installed to. It really is a poor name but
don't mistake it for the runtime directory flag to the linker.
A.: Yes, Your are right, I did not drill into the details.
However, I was happy to find the right statement in the right Makfile
to find a workaround to let the build proceed.
Pls. let me know what You think about.
