I really need some assistance with this problem, so here is a
re-explanation. Here is my directory tree:
project/
|
|- configure
|- configure.in
|- src/
| |
| ...
| |- main.cpp
...
|
|- libltdl/
|
...
|- configure.in
|- configure
|- ltdl.c
This is an over simplification, but you get the idea. The main
configure script has a line like "AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(libltdl)". This
works in most situations, when I am just passing --enable/--disable
arguments to configure. But when I pass a build type for example:
./configure --build=i386-mingw32msvc
The configure script in libltdl gets called with:
./configure --build=i386-mingw32msvc build_alias=i386-mingw32msvc
The configure script then freaks out because it thinks
"build_alias=i386-mingw32msvc" is supposed to be the host type!! To me
this looks like a bug, but I could just be doing something wrong. I
looked through the generated configure script and the m4 macros in
/usr/local/share/autoconf and I believe I have traced the problem to
acgeneral.m4, lines 1555 to 1566. It appears that the "build_alias=..."
argument was intended for config.status but inadvertently got passed to
the subdir-configure...
Does anyone have any ideas? I am using autoconf 2.52. Is there an
autoconf I upgrade/downgrade to that doesn't have this bug (if it is a bug)?
Thanks!
