Package: libtool-bin
Version: 2.4.2-1.11
Severity: normal
Hi,
while trying/evaluation new software, I usually to staged installs, that
is:
./configure
make
make install prefix=/usr/local/pkgs/SOMEPKGS
graft -i SOMEPKGS
(graft, or stash, or something similar).
That would nicely, as at the end the files show up in their proper
locations.
Unfortunately libtool is just not able to handle this, as far as I see,
as I get warnings:
libtool: install: error: cannot install `justenoughlibtexpdf.la' to a
directory not ending in /usr/local/lib/sile
*yes* ... I know that, but afterwards the lib *will* be in this directory.
That should not happen, programs should *do* what the users advises them
to do, even if they themselves think that this is incorrect.
Programs are stupid, and automated checks are prone to fail.
Please remove this check, or convert it into a warning.
Thanks.
Norbert
