Dear all, I am developing an ANSI C based scientific library for which I have written configure.ac that includes, among everything else, a test for libtool: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL The problem is, this test seems to depend on the presence of C++ compiler, e.g. g++. When ./configuring, it stops with: checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See `config.log' for more details. Looking at config.log reveals that libtool expects cc1plus: cpp: installation problem, cannot exec 'cc1plus': No such file or directory Now it is true that cc1plus isn't present on my system, but why should it be, since it comes from g++, whereas my project is plain C? It doesn't really make sense to have ./configure depend on g++ presence although the project doesn't need it. I guess this may very well be libtool's fault, but I thought I'd ask here first. I'm using libtool 1.5.6 and autoconf 2.59. From browsing through the archives I found that libtool 2.0 should take care of a similar problem: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2004-10/msg00028.html but is there at least a temporary fixup for this issue?
