Follow-up Comment #2, sr #108987 (project libtool): It appears that the shell assignment expectation may be erroneous, in that ": ${RM="rm -f"}" will only replace RM if RM is not defined.
perhaps what is intended is more along the lines of: RM="${RM:=rm} -f" (NB it would probably be easier to contend with separating pure RM from, for example, RM_F (or RM_FORCE) for "rm -f"). This problematic construct seems to be found in at least the following files: bootstrap, libtool.in, libtool.m4 and funclib.sh _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?108987> _______________________________________________ Message posté via/par Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
