Category: None Group: Platform Specific Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Daniel Leidert (dleidert) Assigned to: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Summary: Please update libtool scripts to support GNU/k*BSD Initial Comment: In the Debian bug report #342684 [1] it has been pointed out, that expat 2.0.1 shipped too old libtool scripts to support GNU/k*BSD. Please update them with the next release. [1] http://bugs.debian.org/342684 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Date: 2010-01-27 09:15 Message: I spent some time trying to update to the latest libtool, and that's certainly a losing battle. Hopefully someone with enough autohell-fu will provide a patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Keith Bowes (zooplah) Date: 2009-12-07 19:33 Message: This is really imperative to fix (and I saw I patch had been submitted), because I had to downgrade libtool to 1.5.x to even compile the latest CVS version. In my experience with Linux, you need to upgrade at least every two years or less and less software works, so it's going not going to be long before the vast majority of users find getting the latest secure version a major nuisance or perhaps even an impossibility. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Karl Waclawek (kwaclaw) Date: 2009-01-18 19:07 Message: I have already updated config.sub/guess to the most recent available version. I suggest we then use ltmain.sh and libtool.m4 from libtool 1.5.26 for the next Expat release. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Leidert (dleidert) Date: 2009-01-18 17:33 Message: We updated to the latest version of the 1.x release of libtool. The following files have been updated: config.sub, config.guess, conftools/ltmain.sh, conftools/libtool.m4. Then configure has been recreated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Karl Waclawek (kwaclaw) Date: 2009-01-18 17:28 Message: According to the Debian bug report, it might be sufficient to update only config.sub and config.guess. If libtool needs to be updated as well (currently at 1.5.22), it seems there is a big version jump from 1.5.x to 2.2.x necessary if going to the most recent version. Any opinions on that? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Leidert (dleidert) Date: 2009-01-18 17:21 Message: This could be a duplicate of item 1983953. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=110127&aid=2517962&group_id=10127 From noreply at sourceforge.net Thu Jan 28 19:54:45 2010 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 18:54:45 +0000 Subject: [Expat-bugs] [ expat-Patches-2941764 ] New libtool, use automake, port to windows ce Message-ID: Patches item #2941764, was opened at 2010-01-28 19:54 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by marcus-b You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=310127&aid=2941764&group_id=10127 Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Marcus Brinkmann (marcus-b) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: New libtool, use automake, port to windows ce Initial Comment: Hi, I saw requests for updating libtool, something I also need for the Windows CE port. This patch does this, and also makes expat use automake. I found that auto-tools are happiest if they work together. I hope you find this setup convenient, you get all the standard features this way (make distcheck for example). The patch also adds support for Windows CE. As expat is a dependency of dbus-daemon, we are very interested in seeing the Windows CE port merged for the KDE project. Please let me know if there are any issues you want to see resolved, and with any other questions and suggestions. I can help you with other auto-tools related problems as well, if necessary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=310127&aid=2941764&group_id=10127 From noreply at sourceforge.net Thu Jan 28 19:56:10 2010 From: noreply at sourceforge.net (SourceForge.net) Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 18:56:10 +0000 Subject: [Expat-bugs] [ expat-Patches-2941764 ] New libtool, use automake, port to windows ce Message-ID: Patches item #2941764, was opened at 2010-01-28 19:54 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by marcus-b You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=310127&aid=2941764&group_id=10127 Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update.
