Hi Again Ralf, I'm at work now but will try it when i get home.
>From here I downloaded the package and extracted it. The ltmain.sh file contained: # Constants. PROGRAM=ltmain.sh PACKAGE=libtool VERSION=1.4.3 TIMESTAMP=" (1.922.2.111 2002/10/23 02:54:36)" So if I just do a ./configure make won't that create the same libtool and the same error? --Pete On Tue, 2005-01-04 at 08:10, Ralf Wildenhues wrote: > [ reordered for readability ] > > * pete wrote on Tue, Jan 04, 2005 at 01:05:24PM CET: > > On Tue, 2005-01-04 at 10:42 +0100, Ralf Wildenhues wrote: > > > * pete wrote on Tue, Jan 04, 2005 at 01:46:41AM CET: > > > > Can someone please tell me why I keep getting this error? > > > > libtool: unrecognized option `--tag=CC' > > > > > > Unreproducable here. > > Shame on me for this typo. :( > > > > > What info do you need? > > > > > > An example command line including full output. > > > > /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link --tag=CC gcc -O2 -g -Wall -o irrecord > > irrecord.o dump_config.o config_file.o hw-types.o ir_remote.o > > hw_default.o receive.o transmit.o > > libtool: unrecognized option `--tag=CC' > > Try `libtool --help' for more information. > > (These few lines would've been sufficient information, BTW.) > > In your first message, you wrote: > > > > > libtool --version > > > > ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.6 (1.1220.2.95 2004/04/11 05:50:42) > > This is your system's installed libtool script, whereas the package you > compiled uses its own provided libtool script (which is created during > configure).
