Subject: bootstrap on Debian lenny causes breakage on Cygwin

Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2010 12:04:08 +0000

Package: libtool

There has been ongoing discussion on the Ganglia-developers list about 
using a host running Debian lenny to bootstrap the project and generate 
the release tarball.  The tarball must work on a range of hosts - 
various versions of Linux, Solaris, BSD, AIX, Cygwin, etc

aclocal, automake, libtoolize are all run on the Debian machine.

configure && make is executed on a Cygwin 1.5 host

make fails with errors like `Xgcc: command not found'

Looking in Google, various bug reports against a range of apps recommend 
modifying ./libtool to include the line

echo="echo"

and this appears to fix the problem.

$ uname -a
Linux lt2 2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 14 07:12:04 UTC 2009 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

Package versions on Debian:

autoconf 2.61-8
automake 1:1.10.1-3
libtool 1.5.26-4
m4 1.4.11-1

I noticed libtool 2.2.7a was on the Cygwin host but removed it and tried 
the whole exercise again, it still fails in the same way.

Yeah, that sounds vaguely familiar.

If this is still reproducible, I think we should try to fix it.  Can
you still reproduce this?

Curious,
Jonathan
