[patch #7055] archive_cmds_need_lc macro check is broken (result check is inverted)

[Gianluigi Tiesi]

Follow-up Comment #12, patch #7055 (project libtool):

I've removed the offending code, it works now, thanks, configure.ac was not
mine, it was from upstream package, unfortunately I'm not much familiar with
autotools code :)

Follow-up Comment #11, patch #7055 (project libtool):

Thanks for the link.  The bug seems to be in your configure.ac:

# This is required to get past a stupid configure bug when making the rpm.
# Basically it is broken to specify the host as a command line argument to
# configure on its own, i.e. without giving --host=. It is supposed to work
# but doesn't. So this sets host and erases nonopt effectively moving the
# standalone command line option into the --host= form.
if test "x$nonopt" != "xNONE"; then
host="$nonopt"
nonopt="NONE"
fi

Try removing those lines.  Or at least, add something like
  && test "x$nonopt" != x

to the if conditions, so that $host is not set to the empty value here.

Follow-up Comment #9, patch #7055 (project libtool):

Hmpf.  Maybe this code does come from somewhere else, and the Autoconf used
isn't old.  Anyway, the verbose log shows that something sets host= to empty
after host is set correctly.  That is a bug, either in your configure.ac
script or some Autoconf macro.  Can you post (a link to) the script?  Thanks.

Follow-up Comment #8, patch #7055 (project libtool):

Your verbose configure output contains lines like
+ nonopt=NONE

which have been removed from Autoconf in 2000.  So, unless they come from
your configure.ac file, this configure script has been generated with an
ancient autoconf version.  Try running
  ./configure --version

If it doesn't state the Autoconf version it was generated with, then it is
too old.

I've generated files from autogen.sh on a debian sid, autoconf version
is 2.65, mingw native does not have autoconf

configure.ac
has
AC_PREREQ(2.59)

libtool is 2.2.6b

I don't see much value offered from this sort of "churn".

Unless there is actual value offered, then it should not be done.

More useful value would be to get Chuck Wilson's patches approved so 
that libtool can work better with Cygwin 1.7, which is already 
released as current.

I was aware of that, but thanks for the reminder.

Some of the scripts in Libtool require (or required at some point)
non-wrapping of some copyright lines in order for --version to work.
I went the lazy way and just reused the respective commit from last
year, rather than finding out whether update-copyright would have
broken things or not.

I don't care all that much whether we update all copyright entries in
Libtool now or not; if the others prefer this, and the script doesn't
break --version, sure why not.

For Automake, I think changing 700 test files even though most of them
won't be changed this year (unless we finally move to GPLv3+) seems like
unneeded work (besides, it would break my pending patch for the GPL
bump ;-)

Thanks,
Ralf

Follow-up Comment #6, patch #7055 (project libtool):

OK.  You are using an *ancient* version of Autoconf, presumably 2.13, but it
must be from before 2000.  Please update to a non-ancient version first;
libtool requires 2.59 or newer, but preferably you should use 2.65.

GNU Coding Standards permit bumping the copyright on all files in the
project, not just those that have had significant edits in the current
year.  If you are interested, we can run build-aux/update-copyright from
gnulib in order to achieve that action (it also has the benefit of
normalizing copyrights into a consistent format).

on linux I have exactly same problem on native mingw, it complains about -lc

on cross:
# The host system.
