Details - Hi,

I am trying to build libgd for the compute nodes on a Cray XT system, which requires me to use static libraries.

To configure, I simply use:
../configure CC=cc CXX=CC --build=x86_64 --prefix=$SW_BLDDIR --without-jpeg --with-freetype=$FREETYPEDIR --disable-shared

I just installed libfreetype.a in FREETYPEDIR, which is /sw/xt/gdlib/2.0.35/cnl2.2_pgi9.0.3/freetype-2.3.11/lib

cc and CC are Cray-provided wrappers for C and C++ compilers respectively.  In this case, they are calling PGI 9.0.3 compilers, I have also tried with gcc 4.4.1.  

When I run 'make', I get two errors:
* libtool a linker option "--rpath", which isn't valid (and there is also a valid "-rpath" option, and I am making a static library).  This is easy to fix, I can just search for it in "libtool" and remove those lines
* libtool specifically designates /usr/lib64/libfreetype.so, even though it is a static build, and I specifically designated a different version.  This also happens with jpeg, though zlib and png are fine --

/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link cc  -g  -L/usr/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib64  -o annotate  annotate.o ./libgd.la  -lfreetype -lpng12 -lz 
cc -g -rpath /usr/lib64 -o annotate annotate.o  -L/usr/lib64 ./.libs/libgd.a /usr/lib64/libfreetype.so -lpng12 -lz

If I copy the compile line and change "/usr/lib64/libfreetype.so" to "-lfreetype", it works fine (there is another libfreetype.a in /usr/lib64, I don't mind using that: installing freetype elsewhere was an attempted workaround)


Any ideas?
