I have a normal application (not a shared library thus) which
uses convenience libraries in subdirectories.
This application also uses libltdl - in order to load modules.
These modules needs to resolve symbols from the application,
symbols that are in fact in the convenience libraries.
The application itself doesn't use these symbols.
As a result - the symbols are not put into the application!
And loading the modules fails (or at least, calling the
missing functions fails).
What is needed here is obvious: I need to link the application
with the --whole-archive/--no-whole-archive linker flags
around the convenience libraries.
But, libtool doesn't let me do that :/
It doesn't add it by itself, because I am not building a shared
library but an application (using stuff like "-dlopen" self
also doesn't help). And when I add the flags myself, like:
myapp_LDFLAGS = -Wl,--whole-archive utils/libutils.la -Wl,--no-whole-archive
then libtool rearranges the flags so that they come out as:
-Wl,--whole-archive -Wl,--no-whole-archive obj1.o obj2.o ... utils/libutils.la
and that doesn't do what I want. When I only use -Wl,--whole-archive
and leave the -Wl,--no-whole-archive then something horrible gets wrong
that simply is not an option.
Can someone help me out please?
