Hi Charles,
I encountered the same error message when building software within
my MinGW/MSYS cross-compilation environment. I wasn't able to trace
down the problem in ltmain.sh so I decided to hack libtool from
outside. All problems went away after I've appended the following
commands to my build script:
list=`awk '{print $4}' $files | grep '\.la$'`
for i in $list ; do
sed -e "s|^dependency_libs=.*|dependency_libs=''|" -e "s|$destdir||g" $i >
$i~
if cmp $i $i~ > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
rm -f $i~
else
rm -f $i
mv $i~ $i
fi
done
$files points to a file containing all the files installed by a
package. $destdir points to the directory of the staging area.
I know that I loose all dependency information but I don't care
about it (they were wrong anyway).
