gift-openft is using libtool 1.4.3. Works brilliantly. gift-gnutella, however, seems to be using libtool 1.5a, and this does not work correctly on my OpenBSD box.
When I attempt to build gift-gnutella on OpenBSD using these commands:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=$HOME --enable-shared
gmake
it churns along for a while, and then produces this mess:

(There's more like it. Then it proceeds to build a .libs/libGnutella.a
file using "ar cru" commands, instead of a shared library.)
I worked around this problem by copying the generated libtool file
from the gift-openft directory straight into the gift-gnutella
directory. Then "gmake clean" and "gmake" and it was all happy.
This sounds like a libtool bug to me (1.5a is an "alpha" version, right?)
I looked at the script, and the key difference from 1.4.3 to 1.5a is here:
if eval $file_magic_cmd \"\$potlib\" 2>/dev/null \
| ${SED} 10q \
| egrep "$file_magic_regex" > /dev/null; then
if eval $file_magic_cmd \"\$potlib\" 2>/dev/null \
| ${SED} 10q \
| $EGREP "$file_magic_regex" > /dev/null; then
(There are multiple instances of this.) As far as I can tell, the
EGREP variable is not being filled in, so it's trying to execute
"OpenBSD.* shared library" as a command. This reminds me of the
problems lots of people have been experiencing with the SED variable
not being populated. I also noted that gift-openft has the following
line in its configure.ac:
AC_PATH_PROG(SED, sed)
but gift-gnutella does not have this line. I'm not sure whether that's
good or bad. I was thinking that perhaps the gift developers could
add a line like this one to the configure.ac:
AC_PATH_PROG(EGREP, egrep)
But I wonder why this is necessary in the first place. (Why does libtool
reference an EGREP variable that's never defined?)
Details:
OpenBSD 3.3 i386 (an a.out platform)
gcc version 2.95.3 20010125 (prerelease, propolice)
(I actually use a wrapper script around gcc, which passes
-I/usr/local/include and -L/usr/local/lib, but I don't think that's
relevant here.)
GNU Make 3.80
gift 0.11.3
"file /home/gift/lib/libgift.so.0.0" says:
OpenBSD/i386 demand paged shared library not stripped
gift-openft 0.1.0.5 (uses libtool 1.4.3, works fine)
gift-gnutella 0.0.4 (uses libtool 1.5a, fails)
libtool says:
VERSION=1.5a
TIMESTAMP=" (1.1239 2003/06/11 16:33:49)"
[...]
deplibs_check_method="file_magic OpenBSD.* shared library"
I can supply additional details as needed.
