NAME

6       gpt_build_config - Returns a minimized list of ldflags from a list of
7       globus packages and external libraries.

SYNOPSIS

10       gpt_build_config -src <source metadata file> -f <globus_flavor_name>
11       -link [static|shared]

DESCRIPTION

14       gpt_build_config creates a file in it's current directory named
15       gpt_build_temp.sh that contains a list of necessary flags assembled
16       from the build environment metadata of the packages on which the source
17       metadata depends.  This scanning is done recursively to cover the
18       entire dependency tree.  This script was initially inspired by the
19       shell script gnome_config.
20

22       The flag list returned by gpt_build_config is assembled in dependent
23       order.  A dependency between two libraries occurs when one library
24       needs the symbols of another library in order to link correctly.  For
25       most linkers the library providing the symbols has to be linked after
26       the library that needs the symbols.  For example, from the line:
27
28          -L/opt/Xpm/lib -lXpm -L/usr/lib/X11 -lXm -lX
29
30       gpt_build_config assumes that the library Xpm is dependent on Xm which
31       in turn is dependent on X.  In addition, gpt_build_config assumes that
32       Xpm is located in /opt/Xpm/lib and Xm and X are both located in
33       /usr/lib/X11.

BUGS

36       Circular dependencies between libraries are not supported.
