In regard to: building libtool on Tru64 Unix, Janet Goldstein said (at...:

I am trying to build libtool 1.5.6 on Tru64 Unix. using './configure
--enable-dynamic'. The 'make' dies thusly:

Janet-

I've never seen this particular problem on Digital UNIX or Tru64 UNIX.
The obvious differences I can see between your build and my typical
builds are

- I use GNU make.  Not sure if it's required, but I'm suspicious about
`config.status' being run as a dependency.  Try using GNU make for the
build process.

- I don't specify `--enable-dynamic' when configuring, as the default
is to enable both static and dynamic.

Try `./libtool --help' for more information.

Can anyone give me a hint as to what the problem might be? Thanks.

Nothing obvious jumps out. Do you have an older version of libtool installed on the box? How about libtool.m4 and ltdl.m4? If you do, try removing all of those things, and do a fresh un-tar, configure, make (with GNU make), and see what happens.
