Category: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Summary: need_lib_prefix=no for osf* By: enchanter Date: 2001-Nov-19 21:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3216 Browser: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; OSF1 V5.1 alpha) Burkhard- I'm not sure why I received email about this, but I'm guessing because I submitted a nearly-identical patch to the libtool-patches mailing list in July, and you found a reference to that? Your patch looks fine (it's identical to the one I've been using for several months on Tru64 5.1, with projects like gnumeric). I'm not sure if that patch was ever applied to the HEAD branch of libtool, but I guess I'm hopeful either my patch or yours would make it into libtool at some point. Until it does, my solution has been to have a copy of libtool with this and other patchs applied on my Tru64 development box, and then use rm -f libtool ltmain.sh ltconfig aclocal.m4 libtoolize --copy --force aclocal autoupdate autoconf automake for any package that ships older/less-functional libtool bits. You're right that the dependencies between libtool/autoconf/automake are a pain in the butt, but in my experience most of the problems relate to macros that autoconf will no longer accept. libtool and automake are generally not the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- By: bs Date: 2001-Nov-19 18:18 Message: Logged In: NO Browser: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.12; Mac_PowerPC) I've just submitted a patch for libtool.m4 setting need_lib_prefix=no for Tru64 aka OSF/1. This is the needed setting for building modules under Tru64. May I ask you please for a comment? The issue with the "lib" prefix arose when compiling Netatalk from the CVS (see http:// sourceforge.net/projects/netatalk). As a workaround, a patched copy of libtool.m4 is included as acinclude.m4 in the Netatalk CVS, which unfortunately causes problems with libtool and/or aclocal on other platforms, presumably due to nonmatching versions. Kind regards, Burkhard. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?func=detailsupport&support_id=100207&group_id=25 _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
