Some issues related to use of CVS libtool with AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS:
1. libtoolize doesn't appear to recurse into AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS. Should
it? Or is this autoreconf's job?
Autoreconf's job.
2. I cannot get CVS autoreconf to work at all with CVS libtool.
Perhaps this is a Known Issue; but I haven't seen it mentioned.
I have CVS autoconf from a few weeks ago installed and autoreconf works for me. I'll cvs up and recheck.
3. If I execute libtoolize in the subpackage root directory, it seems
to "know" that AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR should be "..". I don't explicitly
use the AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR macro anywhere, so I'm guessing
libtoolize does some sniffing. Perhaps it should do something
similar for AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR? (That is, use the main package's
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR if none is set in the subpackage's
configure.ac.)
That is autoconf simply tracking back up the tree looking for install-sh if AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR is not set in the subpackage. Libtool doesn't do anything special for either.
HTH,
Gary.
