I'll gladly accept a patch in this direction, if you, as a libtool
maintainer, think it would offer better semantics.

Thanks very much, that does exactly what I'm after.

check_LTLIBRARIES works somewhat like noinst_LTLIBRARIES, in that =
Automake
instructs libtool to build a convenience archive by default in both =
cases
(a convenience archive being a static archive of pic objects).

Arguably that's not the right thing for check_LTLIBRARIES, for exactly =
the
reasons you have been tripped up by here.  And I'd be in favour of =
changing
the semantics of check_LTLIBRARIES accordingly - libltdl based module
loaders will continue to cope just fine because the .la file is examined
to determine how to link and load the module.

Currently the best way to tell Automake to only build a libtool library
for `make check' without installing it, but at the same time to tell =
libtool
not to make a convenience archive is:

  check_LTLIBRARIES +=3D tests/libalientest.la

  tests_libalientest_la_LDFLAGS =3D -module -avoid-version -rpath =
/dev/null

The -rpath argument tells libtool that this is not a convenience =
archive.
The parameter can be anything, because Automake will not install a
check_LTLIBRARIES object anyway, but /dev/null makes it clearer that =
we'r
doing something a bit odd here.

Cheers,

The library is built, but no .so.

Maybe some traces will help show the difference.

It isn't built when you run "make check"?  That is a bug.
It isn't built when you run "make all"?  That is a expected.

As the documentation says:

   The special prefix 'check_' indicates that the objects in question
   should not be built until the "make check" command is run.  Those
   objects are not installed either.

I have a library that I want to build just for tests. Hence, I add it
to check_LTLIBRARIES. It's a plugin, so I want the .so (or .dll or
whatever) to be built, but it isn't!

If I instead add the library to pkglib_LTLIBRARIES, then the shared
object is built, but the test library is installed, which is not what
I want.

Reading the automake & libtool manuals, I can't see anything about
what exactly triggers building of the shared object; can someone tell
me what I should do in this instance to get a shared object for tests
only?
