--- Begin Message ---Package: libtool Version: 1.6-0+1.5a-4 Severity: important Hi, When you do libtoolize --ltdl --automake --copy --force the file libltdl/ltdl.c contains an invalid definition/use of LT_USE_WINDOWS_DIRENT_EMULATION It says # define LT_USE_WINDOWS_DIRENT_EMULATION ... # if LT_USE_WINDOWS_DIRENT_EMULATION which obviously is wrong. LT_USE_WINDOWS_DIRENT_EMULATION should be defined to 1, or the preprocessor conditional should be #ifdef This bug is not seen on a GNU or UNIX system (and probably not on Cygwin either), but only on a true Windows system. That is, if you compile ltdl.c with something like MSVC. As such, it's not really a problem for Debian runtime, and it's probably not even a Debian specific bug. However, I file the bug report with Debian as I can see that some patches have been applied to the libtool sources. I guess the maintainer of libtool will forward this report to the libtool maintainers if applicable. However, the bug is serious in that it makes the package that uses ltdl.c less portable than it need to be.

This was fixed in release-1-9b~103 ("Windows dirent emulation functions moved", 2004-04-08).
