Sun 30 Aug 2009 06:46:09 AM UTC, comment #3: Punt this for 1.13. It looks like gnulib has these same lib-*.m4 files... at the very least, we should use theirs in preference to ours; though it looks (at a glance) like the current gnulib ones may still suffer the same issues.	Micah Cowan <micahcowan>
Tue 14 Apr 2009 04:56:20 PM UTC, comment #2: The LTLIBFOO seems to behave more sane than the LIBFOO variable. cu andreas	Andreas Metzler <ametzler>
Tue 29 Jan 2008 04:32:19 AM UTC, comment #1: Maybe while I'm at it I can take a closer look at the rest of Wget's custom m4 stuff in general.	Micah Cowan <micahcowan>
Mon 28 Jan 2008 02:02:09 PM UTC, original submission: because the lib-link macros hardcode the full path of the .so library, this prevents static building of wget i'm not even sure why this code exists ... seems like it's just a lot of over engineering instead of storing "$found_so" into the lib variables, it should instead store "-l$name" when setting up LIBS, it should put LIBS first, not last: -LIBS="$LIBS $LIB[]NAME" +LIBS="$LIB[]NAME $LIBS" that way the system libraries (like libdl) come after the static libraries that need them	Mike Frysinger <vapier>
