Re: Inter-library dependencies

[Carlo Wood]

Hi,

I am stuck :/

Even after applying the patch at the bottom of README to my automake,
it still doesn't work:

~/c++/libcw>make
aclocal
autoheader
autoconf
make -C src/libcwd maintainer-startup
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/carlo/c++/libcw/src/libcwd'
cp /usr/src/libtool/install-prefix/share/libtool/config.guess .
cp /usr/src/libtool/install-prefix/share/libtool/config.sub .
cp /usr/src/libtool/install-prefix/share/libtool/ltmain.sh .
aclocal
autoheader
autoconf
cp /usr/share/automake/install-sh .
cp /usr/share/automake/missing .
cp /usr/share/automake/mkinstalldirs .
automake
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/carlo/c++/libcw/src/libcwd'
cp -f src/libcwd/install-sh .
make -C src/libcw maintainer-startup
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/carlo/c++/libcw/src/libcw'
cp /usr/src/libtool/install-prefix/share/libtool/config.guess .
cp /usr/src/libtool/install-prefix/share/libtool/config.sub .
cp /usr/src/libtool/install-prefix/share/libtool/ltmain.sh .
ln -sf ../libcwd/maintMakefile.in
aclocal -I ../libcwd
autoheader
autoconf
cp /usr/share/automake/install-sh .
cp /usr/share/automake/missing .
cp /usr/share/automake/mkinstalldirs .
automake
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/carlo/c++/libcw/src/libcw'


So far so good.
But then:

It seems that just the patch at the bottom of README isn't enough(?).
The generated `configure' still tries to execute a ltconfig.

What do I do wrong?
