Summary: HPUX curl hardcoding library paths

Initial Comment:
Hi all,
      In HP-UX, curl is getting hardcoded. i.e if i
move the installed directory into some other
<new.directory>, curl executable is trying to load
<old.directory>/lib/libcurl.sl.
 
      Can somebody tell me how to solve this problem.

Edit the makefiles to make it do differently.

We need more info on HP-UX to do anything about this, and I
think the libtool project is the better place to do that
development and discussions with.

make DESTDIR=/somewhere simply installs the files in the
given directory prefix rather than what was said in the
--prefix, which is nice if you for example build for a
system that uses /a/b but that mounts its file system from
/c/d as you can then use --prefix /a/b and then install it
make DESTDIR =/c/d install.

But I don't think it helps you if you move the lib after you
installed curl, if curl was linked to check for the lib in a
hardcoded path.

I don't know enough about HP-UX to tell or understand why
libtool does this for you.

Hi,
  Thank you for replying. I am using --prefix to install.
Can you tell me what is that DESTDIR option. Even if i put
DESTDIR, will it solve my problem of moving that built
libcurl to some other place [other than DESTDIR].

Thanks

You mean after you did 'make install' ?

curl/libcurl is built with libtool, and this is within
libtool's domain. I'm not sure how to disable this.

Can't you simply use configure --prefix and make DESTDIR=
install to work-around this problem?
