There is a new upstream release of libtar (a package i maintain) im working on releasing a package for the hurd but am having problems with build tools.
In configure.ac ./autoconf/ is setup to sture some autotools files with AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(autoconf) Im doing aclocal -I ./autoconf autoheader automake --add-missing Under linux, the output from automake --add-missing is automake: configure.ac: installing `autoconf/install-sh' automake: configure.ac: installing `autoconf/mkinstalldirs' automake: configure.ac: installing `autoconf/missing' configure.ac: 1179: required file `autoconf/ltmain.sh' not found automake: configure.ac: installing `autoconf/depcomp' It creates the following symlinks autoconf/config.guess -> /usr/share/libtool/config.guess autoconf/config.sub -> /usr/share/libtool/config.sub autoconf/depcomp -> /usr/share/automake/depcomp autoconf/install-sh -> /usr/share/automake/install-sh autoconf/ltmain.sh -> /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh autoconf/missing -> /usr/share/automake/missing autoconf/mkinstalldirs -> /usr/share/automake/mkinstalldirs Under the hurd, the output from automake --add-missing is automake: configure.ac: installing `autoconf/install-sh' automake: configure.ac: installing `autoconf/mkinstalldirs' automake: configure.ac: installing `autoconf/missing' configure.ac: 1179: required file `autoconf/ltmain.sh' not found configure.ac: 1179: installing 'autoconf/config.guess' configure.ac: 1179: installing `autoconf/config.sub' automake: configure.ac: installing `autoconf/depcomp' and it creates the following symlinks config.guess -> /usr/share/libtool/config.guess config.sub -> /usr/share/libtool/config.sub ltmain.sh -> /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh autoconf/config.guess -> /usr/share/automake/config.guess autoconf/config.sub -> /usr/share/automake/config.sub autoconf/depcomp -> /usr/share/automake/depcomp autoconf/install-sh -> /usr/share/automake/install-sh autoconf/missing -> /usr/share/automake/missing autoconf/mkinstalldirs -> /usr/share/automake/mkinstalldirs Under linux it is creating extra links to config.guess and config.sub and creating the link to ltmain.sh in the root directory instead of ./autoconf/ Output from automake --verbose is the same under both linux and the hurd. Im using automake 1.5-1.1 and autoconf 2.52-6 under both linux and the hurd. I was going to mention it on the autoconf list, but am mentioning it here incase anyone else has had this problems, or if im overlooking something. Glenn
