Excluding Dynamically Linked Libraries

[Chuck Wolber]

Hi,

I've spent days on this problem, tried nearly everything that I know, and 
some things that I don't ;) I've also posted about this problem on the rpm 
mailing list, with no results so far. If there is a better place to post 
this, I would sincerely appreciate some direction.

I am trying to strip out libbz2 and libselinux from the rpm source package 
for use in an embedded system. Tackling libbz2 first, I've thoroughly 
patched the source package and all build scripts (including the build 
scripts after ./configure is executed) to remove any and all references to 
bzip2, bz, libbz, etc. Yet, when I build it, the resulting binary still 
requires libbz2 at runtime.

I've also built the source without libbz2 in place (I also ran ldconfig 
after I removed it). Comparing the build outputs, there is quite literally 
*NO* difference whether it is built with or without libbz2 in place 
(md5sums confirm this), yet the rpm binary requires libbz2 in both cases.

Somewhere, someplace the rpm source code (which uses autotools) is 
building in libbz2. I cannot find it. I need help. 


Thank you,

..Chuck..
