Support for Interix 5.2 and 6.0?
Hello, libtool support for Interix 3.5 aka Microsoft Services for Unix is great. Unfortunately it currently only works for Interix 3.5, not for the 5.2 version included in Windows Server 2003 R2, and not for the 6.0 version included in Vista. Basically, building the libs is the same, but recent config.guess recognizes 2003 R2 as "i586-pc-interix5.2" and Vista as "i586-pc-interix6.0", while libtool.m4 only checks for "interix3*". I now did s/interix3/interix/ on libtool.m4, followed by ./bootstrap followed by ./configure and make on 2003 R2. make check test results are as follows: ... FAIL: hardcode.test ... 1 of 112 tests failed Please report to bug-libtool@gnu.org This is exactly as with Interix 3.5. So please consider doing s/interix3/interix/ on libtool.m4 before releasing 1.5.23. This may have some impact on Interix 2.x, but as 3.5 is now available for free and 3.0 should work as before, it shouldn't matter that much. Thank you very much Martin ___ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool

Could you send a patch to the libtool-patches list (with `diff -u') that changes instances of interix3 to interix[3-9] (in most cases in m4 files you will have to write interix[[3-9]] due to the M4 quoting) and report the verbose test failures? Otherwise, I can post a patch this weekend, could you test it then? Extra credits if you do it for CVS HEAD as well, and its new testsuite (README knows how to use it).
