Thanks for the hint, we are already a few versions behind. I've opened #21676 for us to update, if anyone wants to review it: * https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/21676#ticket
By the way we are still shipping a few patches, have a look at: * https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/master/build/pkgs/ntl/patches/ I'd say the most annoying one is: * https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/master/build/pkgs/ntl/patches/configure.ac We're just making an empty autotool project, running autoreconf, and repackaging your tarball so that it provides its own version of libtool. (All of this is done by this script: * https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/master/build/pkgs/ntl/spkg-src ) Indeed some systems do not provide any "default" libtool script. And surely the following one is about using $MAKE rather than make in your makefile: * https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/master/build/pkgs/ntl/patches/make.patch Its purpose is quite obvious :) And finally, giving the ability to pass flags to libtool: * https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/master/build/pkgs/ntl/patches/libtool_flag.patch This is useful when building on cygwin/mingw where libtool wants an -no-undefined flag to even try to build a shared lib (without it it does not even try).
