Linking problems

[David Philippi]

I've tried to reorder the traps code and I'm getting linker error with the 
following:

trap_data is in src/worldobjdata - worldobjdata.a

trap is in src/worldobjs - worldobjs.a

traps are in src/worldobjs/traps - traps.a

Everything compiles fine but the linker yields varying errors depending on 
the order of the .a files.
I didn't find any way to tell the the linker to search in files following 
behind what seems to be the cause of the error. I can't order them in the 
correct way since trapdata calls methods from the traps which are derived 
from trapdata.
I could try to solve this circular usage but since this is ok in itself I'd 
rather try to solve the linker problem. I'm not familar with 
autoconf/automake/libtool but I expect there's a way to do it. I suppose the 
easiest solution would be to just link all the .o together instead of using 
.a files for the different directories.
But I don't like the idea of listing all the .o in src/Makefile.am with full 
path - is there a better way?

Bye David

PS: I consider the solution to let the linker dictate how I arrange my source 
code worst.
