I think it may be an out-of-date libtool; when I reran libtoolize, the build process ran to completion (makes a mental note to file a bug) > Daniel> # readline.la - a libtool library file # Generated by > Daniel> ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.3.5 (1.385.2.206 2000/05/27 > Daniel> 11:12:27) # # Please DO NOT delete this file! # It is > Daniel> necessary for linking the library. > > You are looking at readline.la, normally this should be > libreadline.la???? > > Am I right or wrong to assume that the readline library == libreadline > library? (If there are different libraries, then la file might be OK). It's not the system readline library; it's readline.so, a module dlopened by rep to provide readline access from Lisp. > Daniel> # Libraries that this one depends upon. dependency_libs=' > Daniel> -lreadline -lncurses' > > readline.a depends on libreadline? Now things are getting weird. Well, it couldn't fulfill its function (see above) otherwise. Anyway, from what Marcus said (and the fact that libtoolize fixed it), I think it's just an old libtool that doesn't like the Hurd.
