in reply to Re: MakeMaker and Library filename extensions ( :nosearch )
in thread MakeMaker and Library filename extensions

The results ...
Potential libraries are ':nosearch -L/usr/local/lib -lmylib -liconv -l +z': Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: ':nosearch' '-lmylib' found at /usr/local/lib/libmylib.so.1.0 '-liconv' found at /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.7 '-lz' found at /usr/lib/libz.so

Using -static ... It should be looking for .a.
Remove all versions of so's and it works.

I am the Makefile.pl creator. So there has been plenty of Makefile.pl editing and circumvention of MakeMaker's choking intelligence.

From you inclusion of full paths I take that to mean 'if' :nosearch worked MakeMaker, would accept a fully qualified filename?
Something it should do anyhoo!
