Bug in IMake - Doesn't use DESTLIB

[Jean-Claude Gervais]

Alexander,

	I've changed my Imakefile based on the recommendations both you and Han N.
Nguyen have made.

	The only problem is that even though the shared library IS copied to the
proper destination, it's import-linking file (.a or .lib in Win32) is STILL
only being copied to the X folders:

Here's the Imakefile

-------------------------

#include <Library.tmpl>
LibraryObjectRule()

 LIBNAME = ldlib
    SRCS = ldlib.cpp
    OBJS = $(SRCS:.cpp=.o)

      CC = g++

   SOREV = 1.0

INCLUDES = -I../../include
 DESTLIB = ../../lib/Release/Cygwin

  BINDIR = ../../bin/Release/Cygwin
LOCALLIB = ../../lib/Release/Cygwin

SharedLibraryTarget($(LIBNAME),$(SOREV),$(OBJS),.,.)
InstallSharedLibrary($(LIBNAME),$(SOREV),$(DESTLIB))
DependTarget()
LintTarget()

-------------------------

And here is the output it produces:



>make install
install -c -m 0644 libldlib.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libldlib.a
install -c -m 0644 libldlib.dll ../../bin/Release/Cygwin/libldlib.dll
install in . done


Have you any idea how to make the .a file go to ../../lib/Release/Cygwin
instead?

Thank you.

Jean-Claude

Hm, actually the dlls must be in the searchpath when the binary is started.
So it makes sense to locate in the bindir. I they are installed in DESTBIN.
