OS X compatible version of libtool (was: Re: [htdig-dev] Autoconf question)

[Ted Stresen-R. <ted...@ma...>]

Hi,

I just heard from one of the developers of libtool, Peter O'Gorman, who 
has been doing a lot of fixing to get libtool to work properly with OS 
X. In short, his input was: use version 1.5 of libtool. Judging by the 
number of changes to libtool that deal specifically with darwin (OS X) 
related issues, I'd say this is a promising path to follow. Peter is 
trying to build htdig from the most recent snapshots with libtool 1.5 
and will get back to me with the results.

Peter also said that you can tell what version of libtool we are using 
by looking "at the configure line". Specifically, he says: "Your 
developer can easily check if he is using libtool-1.5 by looking at the 
configure line:
checking how to recognise dependent libraries... pass_all (on 1.5) and
file_magic Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ( anything other 
than 1.5)"

A quick search of the htdig source would indicate that we are using a 
pre-1.5 version of libtool.

I hope this helps.
