[Fwd: Fwd: Re: [Evolution] Extremely long link times]
PeterW's libtool fix does speed up the compile time considerably, but Pilot conduits will not be linked correctly with the patch. What will happen is that when you try to do something with the EAddress component it will complain of an unresolved symbol. The only way to fix this is to compile without the libtool fix (which really stinks, because on my Athlon 1.2G/512MB RAM it takes 1 1/2 hours). Basically libtool 1.4 sucks rocks when it comes to dependencies.

I believe it's in the list archives as well, although I didn't search. Peter Williams at Ximian made the patch, IIRC. FYI, the file to patch is located in /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh. I'd make a backup before applying the patch.

Re: [Evolution] Extremely long link times
there seem to be a variety of different versions of automake/gettext/libtool and other compiler helping utilities for which evo. doesn't quite build perfectly using newer versions. is there a list somewhere (or could one be made) of the supported/recommended/working versions of these various utilities that should (or should not be) used to build gal/gtkhtml/evolution thanks, Joe On Tue, 2001-10-23 at 14:27, Dan Winship wrote: So, could this contribute to the extremely long link times I have?

libtool 1.4 automake 1.4 autoconf 2.13 gettext 0.10.35 (0.10.38 and 0.10.40 seem to be ok tho too, definetely don't use 0.10.36 or 0.10.37) Jeff On Tue, 2001-10-23 at 17:56, Joe Barnett wrote: there seem to be a variety of different versions of automake/gettext/libtool and other compiler helping utilities for which evo. doesn't quite build perfectly using newer versions. is there a list somewhere (or could one be made) of the supported/recommended/working versions of these various utilities that should (or should not be) used to build gal/gtkhtml/evolution thanks, Joe On Tue, 2001-10-23 at 14:27, Dan Winship wrote: So, could this contribute to the extremely long link times I have?
