transitive closure of "chatr +s enable" on series of dependencies

[Banibrata Dutta]

Hi,

Consider the following example:-
App -> libA -> libB -> libC
i.e, the application "App" has dependency on libA, which inturn has dependency on libB and so on. Actually "App" demand-loads "libA.sl".

Also, "search SHLIB_PATH" attribute is disabled for libA, libB, libC, but is enabled for "App".

Given the above, is it true that "search SHLIB_PATH" property will be true when libA requires loading of libB, and libB requires loading of libC ?

Is there a document which explains this behaviour clearly ?

thanks,
bd

Hello Banibrata,

As far as I know SHLIB_PATH is searched left to right as teh compiler looks for what it needs to do its job.

You change the behavior of the process by changing the content of the variable.

Few interesting links.

My search, which might require refinement.

There may be something browser specific in there. If so, lift the keywords and re-run the search.
