This is the snippet I use in my SlackBuild build script: if [ -n "`/bin/ls /var/log/packages/wv2-0.4.2* 2>/dev/null`" ]; then # This newer version of wv2 is compiled with cmake and ignores compiling with automake. # The libwv2.la file provided upstream is broken with respect to automake and will cause # automake to fail. This should be patched when creating the wv2-0.4.2 package, but if # not then patch the installed version here. The wv2-0.4.2 package from Slackware 13.1 or # later will contain this same bug. echo "wv2-0.4.2 is installed. Checking /usr/lib/libwv2.la header." if [ -f /usr/lib/libwv2.la ]; then if [ -n "`grep 'libwv2.la - a libtool library file' /usr/lib/libwv2.la`" ]; then echo "Looks like libwv2.la contains a proper header statement." else echo "/usr/lib/libwv2.la is missing a proper header statement." ( cd /usr/lib echo "Creating backup copy libwv2.la.orig." cp -p /usr/lib/libwv2.la /usr/lib/libwv2.la.orig echo "Patching..." cat $CWD/libwv2.diff | patch -p0 --verbose --no-backup-if-mismatch || exit 1 ) fi else echo "The /usr/lib/libwv2.la file is missing. Exiting." exit 1 fi fi This is the patch is use: --- libwv2.la 2010-09-18 11:40:09.000000000 -0500 +++ libwv2.la.new 2010-09-18 11:39:18.000000000 -0500 @@ -1 +1,3 @@ +# libwv2.la - a libtool library file +# Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.5.26 (1.1220.2.492 2008/01/30 06:40:56) I do not experience any crashing, but sounds similar to bug report 657.
