libtool not finding /usr/lib/libintl.la or what?

libtool not finding /usr/lib/libintl.la or what?

[Mark Geisert]

Esteemed co-conspirators,
I've been pulling my hair out trying to build a new cygutils package on 
32-bit Cygwin.  The exact same source package builds fine on 64-bit but 
32-bit fails with the following...

None of the source files make use of internationalization yet.  Package 
author Charles Wilson made the package i18n-ready in case a future 
addition to the package needed it.  There weren't any issues building for 
32-bit on the last go-round ~1.5 years ago.

Does anybody recognize the issue?  Thanks for any leads.
Yours in frustration,

it is pulled by /usr/lib/libpopt.la.


try

$ cd /usr/lib
$ mv libpopt.la libpopt.la_bk

and run again make in build

Amazing.  That does work.  But what is the correct way to deal with this 
when some random user wants to build 32-bit cygutils from source?  Should 
the build procedure actually do what you suggested?  I could not figure 
out which package supplies (or used to supply) libintl.la for 32 bits.
Thanks much,

we should remove the not needed /usr/lib/*.la (not all)
as we did from start on the 64bit version
