Tim, Darrell, All,
I finally got tdeutils to build on Arch. The old version of libtool in the GIT
tree does not correctly create the designation for 'to_tool_file_cmd' in the
'libtool' file that is created by running ./configure. The solution was to hack
the libtool file produced by configure and set:
to_tool_file_cmd=func_convert_file_noop
I just used sed to add it to the top of the libtool file after #! /bin/sh.
That is the default value according to:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/libtool-script-content…
— Variable: to_tool_file_cmd
If the toolchain is not native to the build platform (e.g. if you are using
some Unix to drive the scripting together with a Windows toolchain running in
Wine) this variable describes how to convert file names from the format used by
the build platform to the format used by the toolchain. Normally set to
‘func_convert_file_noop’.
I do not understand why the GIT libtool version does not correctly do this
when run against the stable 2.4.2 version of libtool. This is a bug that will
need to be fixed. But:
==> Finished making: tde-tdeutils 3513_tqt-1 (Wed Mar 21 16:25:37 UTC 2012)
