It is generated from ltconfig.in, distributed with GNU libtool. But the `generation' of it just takes care of version and line numbers, so it is quite safe to modify it. Anyway, you should report a problem to bug-libtool@gnu.org, so we may try to fix this problem in the next release of libtool. You may want to check whether its latest snapshot, libtool-1.2b (available at ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu ), already fixes this problem. > The approach I've taken is to modify the m4 macros for autoconf > specifically for MPE and always regenerate the configure scripts > with my version of autoconf before running them. That works > fine. But, for ltconfig, I see no ltconfig.in, hence my question. It admittedly borrows a lot of code from autoconf 2.10... The fix vshould be similar. Furthermore, now that autoconf is being actively maintained again, you may be able to get your fixes into its next distribution... Post your suggestions to configure@cygnus.com libtool, OTOH, has got quite stale since Gordon Metzigkeit, its original author, decided to stop maintenaning it. After some arrangements, I agreed with him on starting a co-maintainership if he could find some site to host a CVS repository with anonymous access. Maybe Cygnus would be willing to donate some disk space and network connection to the libtool project... BTW, we're looking for more people to join the team, since both Gord and I are busy people, and libtool is too important a project to be maintained by two people that don't have much time to develop it :-( -- Alexandre Oliva mailto:oliva@dcc.unicamp.br mailto:aoliva@acm.org http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~oliva Universidade Estadual de Campinas, SP, Brasil
