24 # This script is designed to be used from a Makefile that uses libtool
25 # to build libraries as follows:
27 # LTLDFLAGS = $(shell libtool-ldflags $(LDFLAGS))
29 # Then, use (LTLDFLAGS) in place of $(LDFLAGS) in your link line.
31 # The output of the script. This string is built up as we process the
39 # Libtool does not ascribe any special meaning options
40 # that begin with -f or with a double-dash. So, it will
41 # think these options are linker options, and prefix them
42 # with "-Wl,". Then, the compiler driver will ignore the
43 # options. So, we prefix these options with -Xcompiler to
44 # make clear to libtool that they are in fact compiler
46 result
="$result -Xcompiler"
49 # We do not want to add -Xcompiler to other options because
50 # that would prevent libtool itself from recognizing them.
54 # If $(LDFLAGS) is (say):
56 # then the user expects that:
58 # will pass three arguments to $(LD):
62 # We must ensure, therefore, that the arguments are appropriately
63 # quoted so that using:
64 # libtool --mode=link ... $(LTLDFLAGS)
65 # will result in the same number of arguments being passed to
66 # libtool. In other words, when this script was invoked, the shell
67 # removed one level of quoting, present in $(LDFLAGS); we have to put
70 # Quote any embedded single quotes.
73 # The following command creates the script:
75 # which removes a leading X, and then quotes and embedded single
77 sed_script
="1s,^X,,;s|'|'\"'\"'|g"
78 # Add a leading "X" so that if $arg starts with a dash,
79 # the echo command will not try to interpret the argument
80 # as a command-line option.
82 # Generate the quoted string.
83 quoted_arg
=`echo "$arg" | sed -e "$sed_script"`
89 # Surround the entire argument with single quotes.
90 quoted_arg
="'"$quoted_arg"'"
92 # Add it to the string.
93 result
="$result $quoted_arg"
96 # Output the string we have built up.
