[rrd-developers] Re: Preliminary libtooled version of RRDtoolavailable

[Blair Zajac]

Tobias,

Could you push out a rrdtool 1.0.5 with the libtool changes I added
to 1.0.3 and with the differences you put in between 1.0.3 and
1.0.4?  This will make it easier to work on supplying patches to
a common code base, instead of patches for the libtool 1.0.3 or
1.0.4.

To get the new automake/libtool system build static by default
and make shared optionally, replace the following line

AC_DISABLE_STATIC

with

AC_DISABLE_SHARED

in configure.in.  To have both static and shared, remove the
AC_DISABLE_STATIC completely.

However, I think that if the user will be building the perl RRDs.so
module, then shared building should be enabled in addition to a
static library.  If not, then build only a static module.  You don't
want users to have to specify a shared library if they are going
to compile RRDs.so.

Have a great weekend,
Blair
