Hi all I recently migrated liblouis[1] to use gnulib. Everything works marvelously for me. I can run autoreconf, configure and make and make distcheck cleanly (I use automake 1.10.2, autoconf 2.63 and libtool 2.2.6). However some of the co-developers are having problems compiling the package with older versions of the tool chain. One error is essentially as follows:
[snip] make[3]: Entering directory `/home/lrs/tmp/liblouis-gnulib/gnulib' /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../liblouis -g -O2 -MT progname.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/progname.Tpo -c -o progname.lo progname.c ../libtool: line 833: X--tag=CC: command not found ../libtool: line 866: libtool: ignoring unknown tag : command not found ../libtool: line 833: X--mode=compile: command not found [snip] The dev uses Fedora 10 with libtool-1.5.26, autoconf 2.63 and automake 1.11. When googling for this problem it appears that some people have had this same problem before and that it might be to do with libtoolize not being invoked properly by autogen.sh and ultimately autoreconf. Indeed if I compare the output of autogen.sh below with the one I'm getting, it appears that libtoolize is not invoked with --install. Our autogen.sh[2] script essentially just invokes autoreconf with the options --force --install --verbose. Is this a problem of an old autoreconf? I'm a bit stumped on how to solve this problem. I'd rather not force all developers to upgrade to libtool 2.x. Below is a extensive log of the output of autogen.sh, configure and make check. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
