Hi I'm running into a strange problem with libtool when running autoreconf on one of my projects under Ubuntu 9.10. autoreconf always seem to run libtoolize with the copy option, even though there in no need for it to:
$ autoreconf -v autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal -I misc autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy libtoolize: putting macros in `misc'. libtoolize: copying file `misc/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: You should add the contents of `misc/ltoptions.m4' to `aclocal.m4'. libtoolize: copying file `misc/ltsugar.m4' libtoolize: You should add the contents of `misc/ltsugar.m4' to `aclocal.m4'. libtoolize: copying file `misc/ltversion.m4' libtoolize: copying file `misc/lt~obsolete.m4' libtoolize: You should add the contents of `misc/lt~obsolete.m4' to `aclocal.m4'. libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree. autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader autoreconf: running: automake --no-force autoreconf: Leaving directory `.' $ The project is currently using a very old version of libtool (1.4.2) which I am in the process of updating, however even when it is updated to the latest version (2.2.6b) libtoolize is still called with the --copy option: $ autoreconf -v autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal -I misc autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy libtoolize: `misc/ltmain.sh' is newer: use `--force' to overwrite libtoolize: `misc/ltversion.m4' is newer: use `--force' to overwrite autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader autoreconf: running: automake --no-force autoreconf: Leaving directory `.' $ I only have this problem with Ubuntu 9.10, does anyone know what could be causing this?
