Description Gabriele Cosmo 2006-10-05 11:07:28 CEST
The 'Configure -ldlibs' command does not work properly under some circumstances:

- If the ZLIB library is built the following gets printed when executed:
     On this machine the G4LIB_BUILD_ZLIB=1
     On this machine the G4LIB_USE_ZLIB=1
   which clearly generates a problem if the command has to be integrated.
- The command does not work at all when global libraries are generated, since also
   the 'liblist' application which is implicitely used by the command is not built !

(A) ZLIB is corrected...(but about integration see 892)
Comment 2 Giuseppe Vacanti 2008-03-04 16:58:21 CET
I have a similar problem:

[geant4.9.1]./Configure -ldlibs
On this machine the G4LIB_BUILD_GDML=1
On this machine the XERCESCROOT=
(rest of output)

Always with version 9.1, if global libraries are used, then the link line is not correct. I see this both on Linux and OSX.
Comment 3 Ben Morgan 2008-12-17 16:55:01 CET
The output issue is now fixed in CVS.
Comment 4 Ben Morgan 2011-04-21 17:14:03 CEST
Decreasing the priority on this because this interface to Configure will be deprecated in the near future.
Comment 5 Ben Morgan 2011-12-06 19:42:15 CET
Marking as WONTFIX due to deprecation of Configure.
