Hi Charles, Thanks for the bug report. * Charles Wilson wrote on Fri, Mar 23, 2007 at 07:32:12AM CET: ../../libtool-HEAD/tests/subproject.at:56: $MAKE all $tst_dist + make all dist [...] mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/src/libtool/cvs/_build/tests/testsuite.dir/33/subproject-demo-2.1a/sub/ltdl': File exists make[2]: *** [distdir] Error 1 AFAICS, this can only happen if libltdl was treated with automake-1.9 and the tests run with automake-1.10 in place, so that the toplevel package (named subproject-demo-2.1a) is treated with 1.10. Hmm. This is kind of a backward incompatibility, unfortunately. It can be helped by using the same Automake version for both bootstrapping and testing, or by using 1.10 for libltdl. [...] Now, I'm not sure how to solve this problem: I don't know what the policy is on the required version of automake for libtool-HEAD, but I'm pretty sure it isn't require 1.10. But I also don't know if automake-1.9.x is still under development, and would accept the above backport for some future automake-1.9.7 release. Alexandre said he did not want to continue 1.9. If there were to be another point release, this patch would certainly be a good candidate IMHO. For reference, below's the patch including ChangeLog entry. Cheers, Ralf 2007-03-26 Charles Wilson ... * lib/am/distdir.am (distdir): Do not fail if $(distdir) already exists, for forward compatibility with Automake 1.10 that overrides the removal due to $(am__remove_distdir). Fixes `make dist' failures in which the toplevel package uses 1.10, but a subpackage 1.9 only.

I'm not so sure; I believe I first encountered the problem using 1.9.6 exclusively, but I will rebootstrap explicitly with (unpatched) 1.9 and make sure. Alexandre said he did not want to continue 1.9. That's what I thought. If I am right (above), then this is bad, and libtool/libltdl from HEAD/2.0 will require 1.10 (if one cares about the facilities tested by 33,34,35: subproject libltdl).

Fortunately, I was wrong. This change: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/automake/lib/am/distdir.am.diff?r1=1.63r2=1.64cvsroot=automakef=h has two parts; the behavior I observed was because I was getting one part of it, without the other -- exactly as Ralf surmised. After forcibly rebootstrapping[*] with 1.9.6, it worked fine. I don't believe there is any need to worry about patching 1.9.6/7 or requiring 1.10 -- this problem has an easy solution: if using libltdl as a subproject, ensure that you use the same version of automake there as in the project that contains it: 1.9 or 1.10 (earlier? dunno), just be consistent. -- Chuck [*] this is where cygwin's slightly overgrown autotools system works well: we have a gentoo-derived smart wrapper for automake, but ALSO use alternatives, for when you absolutely positively have to use a specific version, and the smart wrapper is acting a little too smart for its own good... automake - status is manual. link currently points to /usr/bin/automake-1.9 /usr/bin/automake-1.10 - priority 60 slave aclocal: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.10 slave automake-info: /usr/share/info/automake1.10.info.gz /usr/share/autotools/am-wrapper.sh - priority 100 slave aclocal: /usr/share/autotools/am-wrapper.sh slave automake-info: NONE /usr/bin/automake-1.4 - priority 10 slave aclocal: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.4 slave automake-info: NONE /usr/bin/automake-1.5 - priority 15 slave aclocal: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.5 slave automake-info: NONE /usr/bin/automake-1.6 - priority 20 slave aclocal: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.6 slave automake-info: NONE /usr/bin/automake-1.7 - priority 30 slave aclocal: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.7 slave automake-info: NONE /usr/bin/automake-1.8 - priority 40 slave aclocal: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.8 slave automake-info: NONE /usr/bin/automake-1.9 - priority 50 slave aclocal: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.9 slave automake-info: /usr/share/info/automake1.9.info.gz Current `best' version is /usr/share/autotools/am-wrapper.sh. ___ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
