Fink's libtool packages are only used if you are a developer using OS X as your development platform, and want to run libtool to create a build environment for users of your software (on whatever platform). The changes to libtool 1.3.5 suggested by Fink have not, as far as I know, been widely tested on other platforms. So shipping your software with the Fink-modified libtool 1.3.5 files might not be a good idea. On the other hand, the patches to libtool 1.4 have been sent back to the libtool project, which handles the Darwin/OS X platform much better than in the past. This is an ongoing project for some members of the Fink team, who are continuing to work on corrections and improvements to libtool. If you're not a developer, but perhaps someone who would like to package software for Fink, the the page you referenced > > http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/porting/libtool.php#patch-135 > explains what to do. And finally, if you are mainly a Fink user, rest assured that the Fink package maintainers have incorporated this patch where it was necessary, into the software packages you want to install. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Tablet PC.
