I'm going to presume you are probably correct.

I took your advice about homebrew over fink and everything just worked.
Therefore, no need to figure out why someone else's project was scrogged.
Thank you for showing me how to diagnose the issue, just in case I
stub my toe in the future.  Thank you even more for pointing me at "brew". :)

Cheers - Bruce

Re: no .pc file

2012-10-25 Thread Yaroslav Bulatov 
I see. I needed it because a package management system was using
pkg-config to check if libtool was available, and refusing to proceed
because .pc file was missing.

I got around it by supplying my own pc file.it . In case someone else
runs into this problem -- here's the file I used

# Copyright 2012 Google Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Building libltdlc.la?

2012-10-25 Thread Yaroslav Bulatov 
I'm trying to figure out how to build libltdlc.la which is needed for
a particular configuration of fontforge I'm building
Googling for "libltdlc" shows many results about libltdlc missing, but
not how to build it.

Getting latest taball and building it only gives libltdl.la, and not
libltdlc. Same with --enable-ltdl-install=yes
Any ideas how to build libltdlc.la?

cd $l
export site=http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool
export fn=libtool-2.4.tar.gz
wget -O $fn $site/$fn
tar -xvf $fn
cd libtool-2.4
./configure
make

find -type f -name "*.la"
  ./libltdl/libltdl.la
  ./libltdl/dlopen.la

'make check' inside the libtool distribution builds libltdlc.la et al. for the 
test suite.

Read the Makefile's (or the manual) for full instructions :-)
