[Opencxx-users] libtool and glibtool for OpenC++ on Mac 10.4.2 (Tiger)

[garaf g. <gar...@ya...>]

Hi,

I am trying to install the latest CVS snapshot of
OpenC++ on Mac 10.4.2 (Tiger). I am facing the
following problem: in Mac 10.4.2, libtool is different
than the gnu libtool -which is called glibtool- 

All installation files in OpenC++ assumes that libtool
is glibtool, which causes installation problems and
errors.

I changed every occurence of "libtool" in the file
bootstrap with "glibtool" and it worked, but later on,
when I tried to run occ2 it caused segmentation fault
because it is again calling libtool thinking it is
glibtool. 

I tried to change every occurence of every "libtool"
in all OpenC++ files with "glibtool" but again this
didn't work.

Anyone can help? 

Please let me know if OpenC++ can be installed on Mac
10.4.2, I have spent over a month trying to install it
on my Mac with no success.

Thank you
garaf

AFAICT, 'libtool' is a generated script in the build tree,
so it shouldn't matter whether your /usr/bin/libtool (or
wherever it lives) is compatible with the GNU version.

I'm not sure. libtool seems to be used both during
occ's own compilation, as well as during compilation
*with* occ. In the latter case, occ2 appears to accept
a --libtool option with which to specify which libtool
script to use.

HTH,

Hi Garaf,
As part of the OpenC++ build process, a libtool script is generated in
the build directory. You can simply copy this file into the bin
directory that occ and occ2 were installed in (make sure it's in your
PATH), and everything should work (hopefully). I previously used this
technique to get occ working on a Solaris machine that lacked libtool.
Good luck, Scott

The libtool utility is there to resolve incompatibility across
architecture, something wrong there.

if glibtool package is equivalent, solutions are
1) symlink the the thing
2) provide a mechanism to identify your architecture, for example
$ uname
will give "Linux", does that thing work
so that we can put more intelligence in the script.
