Hi,

thanks for your reply.

OK, I should've mentioned what my system is:

Darwin 7.2.0 Power Macintosh

That's Mac OS X 10.3.2.

That's what I thought first, but it's not true. Please see below.

I do! First the correct libtool is called:

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2  -Wall -Wchar-subscripts 
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wunused -Wpointer-arith 
-Wwrite-strings -Wnested-externs -Wno-sign-compare   -o libvcdinfo.la 
-rpath /sw/lib -version-info 0:1:0 -Wl,--version-script=libvcdinfo.la.ver 
info.lo inf.lo info_private.lo vcd_read.lo -L/sw/lib -lcdio   -L/sw/lib 
-liso9660 -lcdio   ../lib/libvcd.la -lm

Then this libtool calls gcc like this:

gcc -dynamiclib -undefined dynamic_lookup -o .libs/libvcdinfo.0.0.1.dylib 
.libs/info.o .libs/inf.o .libs/info_private.o .libs/vcd_read.o -all_load 
../lib/.libs/libvcd.a  -L/sw/lib /sw/lib/libiso9660.dylib 
/sw/lib/libcdio.dylib -lm -Wl,--version-script=libvcdinfo.la.ver 
-install_name  /sw/lib/libvcdinfo.0.dylib -compatibility_version 1 
-current_version 1.1

Now Mac OS X 10.3 has its own libtool, which has nothing to do with GNU 
libtool. It is called by gcc prior to passing libraries to ld. This results 
in the error message:

/usr/bin/libtool: unknown option character `-' in: 
--version-script=libvcdinfo.la.ver
Usage: /usr/bin/libtool -static [-] file [...] [-filelist 
listfile[,dirname]] [-arch_only arch] [-sacLT]
Usage: /usr/bin/libtool -dynamic [-] file [...] [-filelist 
listfile[,dirname]] [-arch_only arch] [-o output] [-install_name name] 
[-compatibility_version #] [-current_version #] [-seg1addr 0x#] 
[-segs_read_only_addr 0x#] [-segs_read_write_addr 0x#] [-seg_addr_table 
<filename>] [-seg_addr_table_filename <file_system_path>] [-all_load] 
[-noall_load]

To prove that ld on OS X is different, I called ld directly:

a0620% ld --version-script=libvcdinfo.la.ver
ld: unknown flag: --version-script=libvcdinfo.la.ver

Under Linux I get this error instead:

ld --version-script=libvcdinfo.la.ver
ld: cannot open linker script file libvcdinfo.la.ver

To sum it up: --version-script isn't portable. You need to check the system 
you're compiling on if you want to use it ...
