Hi there, has anyone any experience of using libtool with plld? To be more specific, I am using libtool to build a library for which I wrote a SWI-Prolog interface. I am now using an automake rule like ppl_pl$(EXEEXT): ppl_swiprolog.o ppl_pl.o plld -pl-options,-g,main., -o $@ $+ -L$(top_builddir)/src/.libs -lppl but this has the drawback implied by directly referring to the contents of the .libs directory. What I would like to say is something like ppl_pl$(EXEEXT): ppl_swiprolog.o ppl_pl.o libtool --mode=link plld -pl-options,-g,main., -o $@ $+ $(top_builddir)/src/libppl.la so that the right thing happens before and after `make install', but this fails horribly. Any idea how I could achieve that effect, yet retaining the hope that things will continue to work also in future releases of SWI-Prolog?
