Linking libnih dynamically

[Enrico Scholz]

Hi,

is there a way to link libnih dynamically to upstart and its
tools?  Currently, the compiled upstart suite is very huge
(nearly 1 MiB).

I tried

| export nih_install=yes

before calling ./configure and got the expected smaller binaries.


Unfortunately, 'upstart' dies then with

|   initctl:list.c:141: Assertion failed in nih_list_add: list != NULL
|   Aborted

Is there a better way to link libnih?


Btw,  nih/Makefile.am contains

| libnih_dbus_la_LIBS = $(DBUS_LIBS)

which should be

| libnih_dbus_la_LIBADD = $(DBUS_LIBS) libnih.la

(no; I won't submit a patch as I do not want to go through all
the required legal stuff ;) )
