This is definitely the case; make check passes on all of the architectures in Red Hat's FC3 build root, including ia64, without patches. Thanks. ) * Works on platforms with no c++ compiler. This is true, but I am a little underwhelmed. After retooling with 1.5.10, my naim tarballs have increased significantly in size: -rw-r--r-- 543971 Sep 18 19:16 naim-0.11.7.3-2004-09-18-1916.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 616059 Sep 19 12:14 naim-0.11.7.3-2004-09-19-1214.tar.bz2 Previously, I had been using an older libtool.m4 with a few lines removed as my acinclude.m4. This caused ./configure to not check for a C++ or Fortran compiler at all, as C++ and Fortran support are not even optionally useful in my package. I am now using no acinclude.m4, and am letting aclocal find libtool.m4 in share/aclocal/. The C++ and Fortran checks are performed, and are failing gracefully (without taking down the whole ./configure), but: ... -rw-r--r-- 2847 Jun 7 2003 README.es 2847 Jun 7 2003 README.es -rw-r--r-- 1176 Feb 1 2004 TODO 1176 Feb 1 2004 TODO -rw-r--r-- 219075 Nov 26 2003 acinclude.m4 -rw-r--r-- 28226 Sep 18 15:07 aclocal.m4 239043 Sep 19 12:10 aclocal.m4 -rwxr-xr-x 3642 Jan 16 2004 compile* 3642 Jan 16 2004 compile* -rwxr-xr-x 42918 Jan 16 2004 config.guess* 42918 Jan 16 2004 config.guess* -rwxr-xr-x 30925 Jan 16 2004 config.sub* 30925 Jan 16 2004 config.sub* -rwxr-xr-x 446922 Sep 18 15:07 configure* 796712 Sep 19 12:11 configure* -rw-r--r-- 8993 Sep 18 15:06 configure.in 8993 Sep 19 12:10 configure.in drwxr-xr-x 80 Sep 18 19:16 contrib/ 80 Sep 19 12:14 contrib/ ... aclocal.m4 is now the size of acinclude.m4+aclocal.m4 from before, which is reasonable, but configure is nearly twice as large (350kB bigger) as before. This is repeated in libltdl/ as well. I can reduce the tarball size by 20kB (to 594619) if I have libltdl/acinclude.m4 just be: m4_include([../aclocal.m4]) This reduces libltdl/aclocal.m4's size, but libltdl/configure is still 340kB larger than before 1.5.10. -- Daniel Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://people.redhat.com/djr/ http://naim.n.ml.org/ The pursuit of pretty formulas and neat theorems can no doubt quickly degenerate into a silly vice, but so can the quest for austere generalities which are so very general indeed that they are incapable of application to any particular. -- Eric Temple Bell, Mathematician _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
