Unfortunately, I don't know libtool as well as I'd like. Here, you may be better off asking on the bug-libtool(a)gnu.org list. I do know that GNU Coding Conventions state that 'make install' should not do any compilation or linking if 'make all' is up-to-date, but I also know that libtool has a documented bug of not being able to always obey that rule on some platforms, because it must do a relink as part of installation to get path dependencies right. On the other hand, I seem to recall that on Linux, where .so can be compiled with rpath information up front, libtool can be smart enough to avoid the relink, but I don't know the magic to make that happen. -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
