Re: In need of some general autoconf/libtool help

Hello,

here is a quick answer to some of your problems:

Please use aclocal19, you won't get any reasonable support for the older
releases, and the latest libtool probably works best with Automake 1.9.

aclocal uses two directories, with the following default locations:

/usr/local/share/aclocal-1.9 ... the version specific one, contains macros
which are part of the Automake package, as the aclocal script itself.

/usr/local/share/aclocal ... a directory for third party macros; each
package installs a few *.m4 files.

Run the command:
	grep ^.acdir /usr/local/bin/aclocal19
to find out what is the general aclocal directory for the script.
Let's suppose it'll be /usr/local/share/aclocal.
(Then /usr/local/share/aclocal-1.9 is the version specific one.)

But it seems that some packages, for example libtool, installed their
macro files to /usr/local/bin/aclocal, which means that aclocal19
cannot find them.  Then use
	echo /usr/local/bin/aclocal >/usr/local/bin/aclocal19/dirlist
to tell aclocal19 about the other directory.

> My build commands are as follows:

> autoconf259

This looks fine.  Make sure that these programs are using GNU m4
(installed as gm4, probably) and not the BSD m4.

If any problem remains, please post another question.

The questions 1) and 2) in your mail seem to be libtool problems;
if the remaining problems still are about ltmain and such, it
might be best to post a new question to libtool@xxxxxxx, they
will help you more.

Have a blessed year,
	Stepan Kasal
