Note that libtool is an unusual case here and isn't the same as Autoconf or Automake. The files included in the package (libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh) are not generated files in the same sense. Running libtoolize basically just copies those files from the installed libtool into the package. I think (but am not at all certain) that ltmain.sh is a generated file in that I don't think it's maintained in that form by the libtool maintainers, but if so, whatever generation is done is already done as part of the installation of libtool. It's not like Autoconf or Automake where a file in the source is used as input to a compiler which generates a shell script based on it. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
