As Yosh has already replied, this is a problem in libtool. I thought a fix had been applied to the 1.5 branch, but I can't seem to find it so it must be in the 2.0 branch only.

[Gimp-developer] GIMP fails to compile without C++ compiler?
Hija, just curious, is it expected that configuration of a GIMP build will fail if configure cannot find a C++ compiler? ... checking for dlfcn.h... yes checking for g++... no checking for c++... no checking for gpp... no checking for aCC... no checking for CC... no checking for cxx... no checking for cc++... no checking for cl... no checking for FCC... no checking for KCC... no checking for RCC... no checking for xlC_r... no checking for xlC... no checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no checking whether g++ accepts -g... no checking dependency style of g++... none checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C++ preprocessor /lib/cpp fails sanity check See `config.log' for more details. By supplying a C++ compiler via CXX env variable it happily passes that point: ... checking for dlfcn.h... yes checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes checking whether g++-3.4 accepts -g... yes checking dependency style of g++-3.4... gcc3 checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... g++-3.4 -E checking for g77... no ... config.log unfortunately doesn't tell anything sensible...

It's a difference whether useless checks take place and are ignored or the compiler bails out on something that isn't needed at all. FWIW I haven't seen any other project using autoconf as well fail on this machine because there wasn't a C++ compiler installed so I assume that the GIMP (or maybe the GNOME stuff?) is doing something different or even wrong.

You're making a bad assumption then. Any app which uses libtool 1.5 has this issue, as a trivial web search will reveal. There's really nothing we can do, short of updating to a post 1.5 libtool when the libtool maintainers actually release one. -Yosh ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
