From 798a94500230e4d2a1a18f005fe9592454fe451b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Giovanni Funchal Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 15:01:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] configure: auto detect dynamic library path switches Most systems (e.g. Linux gcc) use "-Wl,-rpath," to pass to the linker the runtime dynamic library paths. Some other systems (e.g. Sun, some BSD) use "-R" etc. This patch adds tests in configure for the three most common switches (to my best knowledge) which should cover all current platforms where Git is used.
