I have a fairly large C project I've been working on for quite a few years. Recently I decided to switch to using automake, autoconf, and libtool and generally GNU-izing the software in preparate for upcoming release (an emulator for the HP2100 computer systems).
I got automake and autoconf all setup and it works wonderfully and I've been using it a little while now. The code just started using dlopen libraries, so I figured it was time to use libtool integrated with autoconf & friends and I'm running into a problem. >From my completely working autoconf/automake setup, I added AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to my configure.in file. I have not yet included the library directory in the Makefile.am's yet, so the only change is adding AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. I do an aclocal, autoconf, autoheader, and automake -a. This runs without incident (and libtoolize). Then when I immediately run "./configure", the tail end of what I get is this: checking if the linker (/usr/libexec/elf/ld) is GNU ld... yes checking for BSD-compatible nm... /usr/bin/nm -B checking whether ln -s works... yes loading cache /dev/null within ltconfig ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify' Try `ltconfig --help' for more information. configure: error: libtool configure failed I wouldn't think I'm supposed to specify a host type, when the distribution should be able to configure on many different platforms. I tried just running "./ltconfig ./ltmain.sh" and it generates "libtool". Of course, this will just get stepped over when I rerun ./configure. Where am I going wrong? Particulars: FreeBSD 4.6.2 (old, but the only system I had free for development at the time) autoconf 2.53 automake 1.5 libtool 1.3.4 m4-1.4 I've googled and searched and still come up short on understanding. Can someone steer me in the right direction? Any advice is apreciated!
