Hi all, libtool has a sort of "fixpath" feature to convert between the native paths used by the environment and the actual path format that the toolchain and host uses. There are path adapters for Cygwin and MSYS, but noticeably support for the WSL environment is not present. This unfortunately makes compiling codebases that use libtool for native Windows quite difficult on WSL. I've looked at the ltmain.in template and it seems that to support path conversion from WSL paths to something the toolchain can handle, we can define something similar to func_convert_file_msys_to_w32, such as func_convert_file_wsl_to_w32 to convert the paths, which can be rather easily done with wslpath just as MSYS uses cygpath. Would this be worthwhile to implement or would it be too disruptive a change?
best regards, Julian
