Ok, I will start working on these issues. The one I understand the least is libtool. It looks like you are saying I should generate a libtool script on the machine X on which I create the NTL tarball. But this seems very strange. How could that script be any better than one generated/installed on the machine Y where the build is taking place? Wouldn't it be better to generate libtool on Y?
And why isn't there a libtool command on Y in the first place? I mean, if you assume the whole autoconf toolchain, why not assume libtool? Or, is it that maybe there are parts of the toolchain that are X but not Y? Sorry...I'm not much of an expert on libtool or autoconf. Another issue. I'm not sure if $(MAKE) is specific to gnu make or if it is universal. In general, I don't want to assume gnu. But I can certainly make this the default, and provide a config variable to override. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
