Re: How to force linking to an archive?

[Jeffrey Walton]

I think configuration and libtool are the problem here (I'm seeing the
problem on mulitple projects, with both Mac OS X and Linux).

For example, here's libpng:

/bin/sh ./libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=link /usr/local/bin/clang  -g3
-fsanitize=address -fsanitize=undefined -no-undefined -export-dynamic
-version-number 16:7:0   -export-symbols libpng.sym  -o libpng16.la
-rpath /usr/local/lib png.lo pngerror.lo pngget.lo pngmem.lo
pngpread.lo pngread.lo pngrio.lo pngrtran.lo pngrutil.lo pngset.lo
pngtrans.lo pngwio.lo pngwrite.lo pngwtran.lo pngwutil.lo    -lz
libtool: link: sed 's,^,_,' < libpng.sym > .libs/libpng16-symbols.expsym
libtool: link: /usr/local/bin/clang -dynamiclib  -o
.libs/libpng16.16.dylib  .libs/png.o .libs/pngerror.o .libs/pngget.o
.libs/pngmem.o .libs/pngpread.o .libs/pngread.o .libs/pngrio.o
.libs/pngrtran.o .libs/pngrutil.o .libs/pngset.o .libs/pngtrans.o
.libs/pngwio.o .libs/pngwrite.o .libs/pngwtran.o .libs/pngwutil.o
-lz    -install_name  /usr/local/lib/libpng16.16.dylib
-compatibility_version 24 -current_version 24.0 -Wl,-single_module
-Wl,-exported_symbols_list,.libs/libpng16-symbols.expsym
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "___asan_handle_no_return", referenced from:
      _png_set_sig_bytes in png.o
      _png_data_freer in png.o
      _png_colorspace_set_chromaticities in png.o
      _png_colorspace_set_endpoints in png.o
      _png_icc_profile_error in png.o
      _png_compare_ICC_profile_with_sRGB in png.o
      _png_colorspace_set_rgb_coefficients in png.o
      ...

This is despite the fact that LDLIBS was exported with the proper
static libraries. I've tried using both static and dynamic libraries.
I even opened the resulting Makefile and added a LDLIBS=<...> line (it
was missing).

So this may be a bit off-topic since it looks like a collaboration
between autotools and libtools, but how do I configure libtool to use
a library for an autotools project?

Thanks in advance.
