I did ask if you wanted just the a.out support patches... FWIW, I'm creating 
KDE3.0 pkgs for NetBSD pkgsrc and will obviously have to update my patches 
for 3.0. I can send you these if that would speed things up.

My patches don't do any libtool hacking - are you following the same idea 
just with the "main" handling done more automatically.

libtool 1.4.2: Enhancement request

2002-04-12 Thread Jost Martin

Hello,

I recently installed ethereal (0.9.3).
I had one problem, which is libtool related:

Guy Harris (from the ethereal project) pointed me to libtool too report this.
According to what I found in ltmain.sh, ethereal is using libtool 1.4.2.
Please let me know, if you need additional info on this.

Thanks

Martin

Re: libtool 1.4.2: Enhancement request

2002-04-12 Thread Boehne, Robert

Jost:

The flag you referr to is hp-compiler specific, so it can't
be put into ltmain.in.  Possibly a better solution is to
figure out why +DAportable was lost.  In the mean time you
could probably work around this by changing:
export CFLAGS="+DAportable -Ae +O2"
to
export CFLAGS="-Wc,+DAportable -Ae +O2"

The reason the -Wc, flag is present is to explicitly
tell Libtool that you want to pass somthing as an
argument to the compiler.  Libtool has it's own arguments
so if you have somthing that Libtool would normally
parse as its own in, you need to specify that it is
a compiler flag.

HTH,

Robert

Re: AW: libtool 1.4.2: Enhancement request

2002-04-12 Thread Boehne, Robert

Jost:

The problem may be that Libtool doesn't treat options with "+"
the same way it treats "-".  It doesn't sound like that would be
terribly difficult to fix though.  But before you go looking in
ltmain.in, you might want to try the CVS head version of Libtool.
There have been recent changes to the argument processing, so even
if it is fixed in the 1.4 branch, it may or may not be a problem
with future releases.
  Please try that out, and let us all know what the results were,
we'll get it fixed in both branches eventually.

Robert

Re: Could you do something about spam?

Mailman allows filtering of messages only on headers, so a lot of spam
gets through.  Since traffic on [EMAIL PROTECTED] is fairly low, the
signal to noise ratio is not good :-(

One alternative is to only allow posts from subscribers, but I don't
really want to do that or we may lose valuable input from people who
don't wish to subscribe to the list.

I have enabled an option in mailman to disallow posts where the To:
and/or Cc: fields don't specify the list address which may help
somewhat.  If things still look bad, I might be persuaded to disallow
non-subscriber posts to libtool-patches, libtool-commit and libtool (but
not bug-libtool).

I don't know very much about pipermail.  You might be able to take it up
with the pipermail code maintainers, or the archive maintainers at
gnu.org.  I don't know who these people are though...

HTH a little.

Re: install vs cp

Are the ownership or permissions on the installed file different when
using one vs. another?

Are there timing issues between the unload/reload in the daemon, and the
change of contents of the inode?  If so you might see what appear to be
differences caused by the installation tool that you use, but are
actually random errors based on the timing issue.

Food for thought.

Cheers,
Gary.
