Richard, thanks for the report. This must be fixed upstream first, and note the comment upstream: https://github.com/gnulib-modules/bootstrap/blob/master/tests/test-funclib-quote.sh#L143 IOW, libtool uses 'func_quote*' and 'func_append_quoted' which is not working with newlines correctly. This is unfortunately very unlikely to get 100% fixed (no portable way), but there is one non-portable upstream fix-in-progress with bash's 'printf %q' which is going to be in new libtool release. The point is that --mode=execute is not covered yet. So good to know, thanks again. This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component. According to the low priority of this request and as it did not bother any user for years, I am closing this tracker. If you think this issue should be handled and investigated, feel free to reopen it. |
Description of problem: Normal commands work fine with multi-line parameters, eg: $ echo "hello > world" hello world but libtool --mode=execute breaks them: $ libtool --mode=execute echo "hello world" /usr/bin/libtool: line 2062: world: command not found hello Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.6 libtool-2.4.6-13.fc25.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above.
