Greetings
I am trying to build a package on OS X 10.4 Darwin 8.10.1 that was
built with automake1.4 (I don't know the original host). I added a
method to the package and I'm trying to rebuild it using
automake1.9.4-2 that I loaded with Fink. I also have libtool 1.3.5-23
from fink.
I modified Makefile.am to include the new method and went through the
chain:
aclocal
autoconf
automake --add-missing
I had some issues with macro quoting but I found the documentation
and fixed them.
When I run ./configure I get
ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use '--no-verify'
I found the porting guide that says to copy config.guess and
config.sub from the /sw/bin/libtools directory and did that but I
still get the same problem. I can see in the generated configure that
--no-verify is added to the variable libtool_flags but host is not
included.
Looking at the documentation for ltconfig, HOST is one of the
optional arguments and so I added $host in the correct spot where
$host=i686-apple-darwin8.10.1. It now fails for 'i686... does not exist'
I'm posting here because it looks to me like this is a problem with
autoconf creating the configure file from configure.in incorrectly.
It appears that configure.in has all the correct macros. It seems
like autoconf should at least add the host in generating the command
that runs ltconfig. I don't see this problem in the archives anywhere.
If this is the appropriate place, I will send inputs and outputs. If
not, could someone point me to another list. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks
Mike
