Which subsystem? Liblist? What it does, in short, is this: 1. take the list of linker parameters provided by Makefile.PL 2. try to resolve that list, by going through it and looking for each library mentioned in it, including the directory parameters and what not 2. a) if the lib is found, append that directive to a new linker parameter string 2. b) if the lib is not found, warn and skip 3. pass the new linker parameter string to the compiler As schmorp rightly says, that's actually a bit stupid. Due to EUMM emulating the compiler actions, there's potential for both false positives (when eumm can find the lib, but compiler can't) and false negatives (when eumm can't find the lib and removes it from the list, but the compiler could). So, the optimum way of handling this would be to actually use the compiler itself to verify the lib list, but i personally have no idea how that could be done. Meanwhile, an option is: Debug through Liblist, figure out why it can't find that lib, and change the code so it can find it. Or maybe change it so it just warns, but adds the directive anyhow.Thread Previous | Thread Next
