Hi,

It seems likely that you have a configure that was created with a
different version of libtool than ltmain.sh was created with.

For matching versions of libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh from libtool-1.5.26,
the generated libtool script should already have:

# An echo program that does not interpret backslashes.
echo="echo"

I see now that ltmain.sh is produced from ltmain.in.
The change should be made there, instead.

By the way, with this small change (and after installing
Libtool 1.5.26), Automake 1.10.1 "make check" is successful.

Re: cross compilation to w32

2008-03-08 Thread Charles Wilson

Ralf Wildenhues wrote:


Does anybody see easy ways out?


Well, for the second problem there are two solutions. (1) always ensure 
that the script is emitted with unix line endings, or (2) specify 
$TARGETSHELL=/emulation/environment/sh when cross-compiling.


Obviously, (2) is the easiest, because getting rid of the requirement 
for an emulator is going to take a bit more work.  (1) is slightly more 
difficult, and doesn't solve the emulator problem -- but at least 
doesn't compound the problem.


For cygwin/msys, (1) means for --lt-dump-script, using setmode() on 
stdout here:


  if (strcmp (argv[i], dumpscript_opt) == 0)
{
<<< setmode here? >>>
  printf ("%s", script_text);
  return 0;
}

and for "normal" operation, changing this:

  /* note: do NOT use "wt" here! -- defer to underlying
   * mount type on cygwin
   */
  if ((shwrapper = fopen (newargz[1], "w")) == 0)

to

  /* always use binary mode */
  if ((shwrapper = fopen (newargz[1], "wb")) == 0)

Both cygwin and msys's shell will work with unix line endings, 
regardless of cygwin's underlying mount type, etc.



Of course, both of these suggestions (setmode, and using "wb") are 
win32-isms, and will only work as written above if we continue to use 
$LTCC as described below:


# we should really use a build-platform specific compiler
# here, but OTOH, the wrappers (shell script and this C one)
# are only useful if you want to execute the "real" binary.
# Since the "real" binary is built for $host, then this
# wrapper might as well be built for $host, too.
$opt_dry_run || {
  $LTCC $LTCFLAGS -o $cwrapper $cwrappersource
  $STRIP $cwrapper
}

As Ralf has pointed out, the comment above is not currently correct: we 
currently do need to execute the binary wrapper, even if we don't want 
to run the actual target, because the next step is:


# Now, create the wrapper script for func_source use:
$opt_dry_run || {
  $cwrapper --lt-dump-script > 
$func_ltwrapper_scriptname_result

}

=== emulator problem 

(1) guard win32-isms in the binary wrapper source code against non-win32 
build environment

(2) use build environment compiler to compile binary wrapper
(3) this means that you CAN'T use an emulator environment at all, if you 
wanted to run the tests -- because the emulator won't be able to execute 
the binary wrappers


Okay. So that's not really a solution.  What we really need is the 
capability to extract (or emit) the shell wrapper during the link phase 
(or earlier), just so libtool can source it back in and parse the contents.


One important note: for win32 targets, there are TWO different copies 
(with different names) of the shell wrapper. One is created during the 
link phase, and is only present so that it can be sourced back in by 
libtool and parsed.  The other (ephemeral) copy is (re)created each time 
the binary wrapper is executed, and the binary wrapper then execs it.


Our problem is the first one.  How about, when cross-compiling for win32 
targets, keep most things as they are (with perhaps some of the 
line-ending changes described above). However, just change this bit:


# Now, create the wrapper script for func_source use:
func_ltwrapper_scriptname $cwrapper
$RM $func_ltwrapper_scriptname_result
trap "$RM $func_ltwrapper_scriptname_result; exit 
$EXIT_FAILURE" 1 2 15

$opt_dry_run || {
  $cwrapper --lt-dump-script > 
$func_ltwrapper_scriptname_result

}

so that when cross-compiling for win32, we use the "normal" method of 
creating $func_ltwrapper_scriptname_result -- direct creation from libtool:


func_emit_wrapper no > $func_ltwrapper_scriptname_result

Here's a possible (completely untested) patch.

[patch] 1.5.26 do echo=echo if necessary

2008-03-08 Thread Thien-Thi Nguyen
Earlier today, i built Libtool 2.2 and was ready to install it,
but then had second thoughts about using it w/ Automake 1.9.6.
So, i built Automake 1.10.1 and saw "make check" result in 14
errors.  Investigating the first of these, depcomp4.test, i see
that for some reason, testSubDir/libtool around line 810 uses
`$echo', but the shell variable `echo' has no value.  This is w/
Libtool 1.5.24, so i built Libtool 1.5.26 and installed it, in the
blind hope that "Bug Fixes" (in the NEWS) would include some
relief.  Alas, no.

So, below is a quick patch that seems to work.  Here is a
ChangeLog entry for this tiny change:

* ltmain.sh: Prior to parsing the command line
"once, thoroughly", make sure shell variable
`echo' has some sane value.

I hope it (or a more suitable reworking) will appear in a 1.5.x
release.  That way, i can then install Automake 1.10.1 w/ Libtool
1.5.x, and subsequently Libtool 2.2.x, for peace of mind.

It is.  With our new scheme in 2.2 however, the wrapper is also
*executed* already at link time, rather than only at run time.
That is the gist of the first problem for users without a simulator.

Hallo Ralf,

On 8 Mar 2008, at 07:03, Ralf Wildenhues wrote:

we have a couple of problems wrt. cross compilation to w32 in 2.2.
When I cross-compile from GNU/Linux to MinGW using Debian's mingw32
packages (i586-mingw32msvc-gcc etc.), then link mode already
requires executing a host program; for example:

cd tests/demo
/bin/sh -x ./libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link i586-mingw32msvc-gcc  -g  
-O2 -export-dynamic -dlpreopen libhello.la -L/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/ 
lib -o helldl.exe dlmain.o


[...]
+ ./helldl.exe --lt-dump-script
Wine exited with a successful status
+ exit 0

This means that building will fail on systems without a simulator.

The other problem I've stumbled over so far is this one: the
*_ltshwrapper file has DOS line endings.  This causes 'make install'
to fail, because the native /bin/sh cannot parse the script:

 /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c 'hell.exe' '/ 
home/ralf/download/cvs/libtool/HEAD/build-mingw/_inst/bin/hell.exe'

: command not foundapper: line 2:

*posix*) se' -o posix;; esac
libtool: install: invalid libtool wrapper script `./.libs/ 
hell_ltshwrapper'


Does anybody see easy ways out?



Shouldn't the cwrapper be compiled with the host compiler?  It looks as
though it isn't at the moment...

Gary

Hi,

Yes, something like 'LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" ./configure'
(in fact, at first, I've done this a different way because it's
automated with the package manager, but that's more or less what it
does in the end)

> If yes, is that the only

Well, test 64 fails too but I thought this was due to test 55 failing:
64: Run tests with low max_cmd_len FAILED(cmdline_wrap.at:43) 

[...]
ERROR: 63 tests were run,
5 failed (3 expected failures).
1 test was skipped.

not really; it's not even officially supported that people set this

Thank you for the report.  That's interesting, for several reasons.

First, how did you stumble over this failure?  Did you explicitly
configure with LDFLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed?  If yes, is that the only
failure you get with that setting, and if no, does gentoo set that
by default now in some way (which)?

Second, this corresponds to a failure Markus Duft had with his w32
patch series.  More data points are always helpful

[libtool 2.2] testsuite: 55 failed with as-needed

Hi,

Perhaps it's the desired behavior, but I get a failure on test 55 when
using -Wl,--as-needed in LDFLAGS (and its ok if I remove it).
From my poor understanding of template.at, the test is run for the case
when libb does not depend on liba and when linking the main program
against both libb and liba, liba gets dropped but libb needs it, thus
the linking failure. Anyway, I thought it was worth reporting it.

There is no release 2.3a.  2.3a is the term for the CVS version, i.e.,

CVS HEAD passes all tests here and seem to work OK for our project.

I can reproduce this error under the following circumstances:

A libltdl 2.1 or newer has previously been installed in a place
where the preprocessor and the link editor can find headers resp.
library (suitable CPPFLAGS=-I... and LDFLAGS=-L... count, too),
but the libltdl.la file is missing in the installation, and also
the runtime linker does not search the installed location of
libltdl.so.7 by default (and -R.../-Wl,-rpath,... have not been added).

Does that match your setup?  If yes, who removed the installed
libltdl.la file, and why?



yes, I believe this matches my setup.  I had installed Libtool 2.1.b;
nothing worked for me so, since I had no time to investigate further,
I uninstalled it (not the proper way, I guess) and went back to
Libtool 1.5.24.


But if you used "make uninstall", then there should be no traces left.


I think I have used `make uninstall', but I may be wrong.


What I instead meant was: the installed libltdl.la file is missing, but
the libltdl.so.7 file is still present, as is the ltdl.h header in the
include directory.

Does that still match your setup?


The problem is that I have installed 2.2 and then the versions patched
as you indicated on the same path.  So, even if something that belonged
to 2.1.b was still there when I say 2.2's `make check' failing, now it
has been overwritten.


Also, are things working for you with 2.3a now?


Things work with 2.2 + your patches.  However, I am of course willing
to test with 2.3a.  Where is it?  I have looked in

  http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/

and

  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/

but could not find it.
Cheers,

Roberto
