[QUESTION] Why dependency_libs in installed libfreeswitch.la are pointing to location without those dependenciaes?

[konstantin-sancom]

Hi!

After FreeSWITCH v1.10(v1.10 branch, NOT master) building from source process is compleated, there is libfreeswitch.la in source tree root, which has dependency_libs field, pointing to locations in source tree, where other *.la files are located:

# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=' -L<fs_src_root>/libs/apr-util/xml/expat/lib <fs_src_root>/libs/apr-util/xml/expat/lib/libexpat.la <fs_src_root>/libs/apr/libapr-1.la -luuid -lpthread /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/8/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libsqlite3.la -lfreetype /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/8/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.la -lpcre -lspeex -lspeexdsp -ledit -ldl -lcrypt -lrt -ltpl -lspandsp -lsofia-sip-ua -lpng16 -lz -lssl -lcrypto'

After FreeSWITCH being installed with make install there is libfreeswitch.la in install location, but it's content differs from those one, which located in the source tree.

# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=' -L<fs_src_root>/libs/apr-util/xml/expat/lib <install_prefix>/lib/libexpat.la /usr/local/freeswitch/lib/libapr-1.la -luuid -lpthread /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsqlite3.la -lfreetype /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.la -lpcre -lspeex -lspeexdsp -ledit -ldl -lcrypt -lrt -ltpl -lspandsp -lsofia-sip-ua -lpng16 -lz -lssl -lcrypto'

As you can see, expat.la points to installation location, but is not found there actually.

Is this behaviour by desing and I fogot to configur/build/install something or is it a BUG?

it's a known problem. you can remove it with a sed script etc.
