Is anyone else going to comment on the issue of libtool/autoconf/automake being used in each other's testsuites, thus causing circular dependencies? Specifically, if libtool is moved up to satifsy autoconf, grep must also move with it because libtool will hardcode it's location. Or, we can add /bin/grep -> /tools/bin/grep to Ch. 6.7 Essential Symlinks. Please comment if you have time because this is a legitimate hangup. -- Dan
Libtool isn't really a problem - I think it, along with grep, can just be moved up to the beginning. Autoconf is slightly more of a problem - I definitely don't want to add autoconf to /tools. I think autoconf and automake should just be built in order, and note in autoconf's dependency list that it can use automake in its testsuite.
