Description Karsten Hopp 2004-11-22 15:12:26 UTC

Description of problem:
assume that you have the following in your .spec file (see the latest gtk+):
libtoolize --force
aclocal-1.4
automake-1.4
autoconf-2.13
autoheader-2.13

When you now try to build the package, you'll end up with lots of errors like
../libtool: line 297: s,^.*/,,g: No such file or directory
../libtool: line 632: -e: command not found
*** Warning: inferring the mode of operation is deprecated.
*** Future versions of Libtool will require -mode=MODE be specified.
../libtool: line 926: -e: command not found
../libtool: line 926: -e: command not found
../libtool: line 926: -e: command not found
../libtool: line 926: -e: command not found
...
That's because SED isn't defined anywhere.
export SED=/bin/sed rpmbuild --rebuild ....  worked for me, but that's just a
workaround, not the solution.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libtool-1.5.10-1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpmbuild --rebuild gtk+-1.2.10-33.src.rpm
2. check the output

Comment 1 Daniel Reed 2004-11-22 19:19:16 UTC

Automake 1.4 and Autoconf 2.13 are not supported or maintained, either upstream
or by Red Hat. One or both may be incompatible with modern Libtool. (I believe
Libtool 1.5.2 and beyond have had an explicit requirement on Autoconf 2.54 or
beyond.)

As both of these packages have been marked "deprecated", they may disappear at
any time. Please help the affected project migrate their build control files to
a form accepted by Automake 1.9 and Autoconf 2.59. If you can reproduce this
problem using Autoconf 2.59, please reopen. Thanks.
