We should really add some kind of .la test to our gbs.
Or maybe into setup.exe, for those people who already have their gbs 
customized or not using it?
Or provide a gbs-library?
   It would be easier to upgrade then.

I had a lot such "broken" .la's, which forced me to post my fixups last 
month of a couple of such .la's. libcurl also.

Naah, it is a libtool bug, for sure.  Sanity check is good, but it 
shouldn't be neccessary.

I don't get this point.  Would you explain, please?

Wrong libtool version...;)

Modularization of the gbs:
Provide a central place for some common gbs functions, like 
/usr/share/cygwin/gbs-functions.sh, which would be sourced by each build 
script.
Any updates on this library will help all build scripts.
Currently you have to fix/update every single instance.
I'm thinking of functions which are very likely not touched.

The init step which parses the PKG/VER/REL, the name defaults,
install_docs, mkdirs, prep, autoreconf, reconf, mkpatch, build, certain 
install steps, strip, list, depend, requires, pkg, spkg, finish, 
sigfile, checksig, ...
But it's good to have some sane defaults which will get inherited to all 
new and old build scripts your are working with.

But not on my side. Certain wrong devel packages install strange la's 
into /lib. I hope mine are correct.

Hmm....sorry I missed that.  ncurses is weird; it uses libtool but not 
automake, so DESTDIR installs are tricky.  I'll try to roll a new 
release next week sometime.  In the meantime, just change the line to 
the obvious


libdir='/usr/lib'

You'll also need to change "dependency_libs" as well -- and these 
modifications go for all of the ncurses .la files:

libpanel.la
libmenu.la
libform.la
libncurses.la
libncurses++.la

It is not really a problem since the linker finds the libraries anyway, 
maybe just the generated .la files are wrong though.

this should fix all those .la's:

zcat /etc/setup/libncurses-devel.lst.gz | grep "\.la$" | \
   (cd /; xargs perl -pi.orig \
-e 's|/usr/src/ncurses/ncurses-5.4/.build/lib|/lib|g;
     s|/usr/src/ncurses/ncurses-5.4/.inst/usr/lib|/usr/lib|g' )

Well, it is a problem when building PHP because they use thier own
special system:

libtool: link: warning: library `/usr/lib/libpanel.la' was moved.
grep: /usr/src/ncurses/ncurses-5.4/.inst/usr/lib/libncurses.la: No such 
file or directory
/usr/bin/sed: can't read 
/usr/src/ncurses/ncurses-5.4/.inst/usr/lib/libncurses.la: No such file 
or directory
libtool: link: 
`/usr/src/ncurses/ncurses-5.4/.inst/usr/lib/libncurses.la' is not a 
valid libtool archive
make: *** [ext/ncurses/ncurses.la] Error 1

was missing a /usr, this is better:

zcat /etc/setup/libncurses-devel.lst.gz | grep "\.la$" | \
   (cd /; xargs perl -pi.orig \
    -e 's|/usr/src/ncurses/ncurses-5.4/.build/lib|/usr/lib|g; \
     s|/usr/src/ncurses/ncurses-5.4/.inst/usr/lib|/usr/lib|g' )
