Hi,

After running
'./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr' then './configure --prefix=/usr', when I run 'make' on git HEAD (7057487...), the libtool options/execution seem to get mangled in a strange way:

(it continues compiling if I instead run 'sudo make'. I expect the end result would be wrong or strange, though) ..

another strange message:

Has anyone else here encountered this ??

Looks like this is the actual issue:

After removing 'configure', it's apparent that 'autogen.sh' doesn't regenerate it, instead giving ambiguous errors/warnings..

For anyone else's reference, this occurs with

autoconf 2.68 automake 1.9.6 + 1.11.1
glib 2.26.1
gtk 2.22.1

output log of './autogen.sh --prefix=/usr' follows:

'export ACLOCAL_FLAGS=-I\ /usr/share/aclocal'

before running the './autogen.sh --prefix=/usr', solves the problem.

actually no, it only allows the autogen to complete successfully, silliness like:

still happens.

Haven't found a solution, yet.

http://openmoko-public-mailinglists.1958.n2.nabble.com/quot-X-tag-CC-command-not-found-quot-td1577166.html suggests, [[
It turns out that this
happens if the directory containing the sources already has files generated by previous build processes. ]]
and also a possible libtool version mismatch.

THey were on ubuntu, if you're on OSX it might be unrelated.

Thanks for that tip Liam, I've tried 'make clean;./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr', it seems to make no difference, so I will look into libtool..
(I'm running Arch Linux, FWIW)

libtool 2.4 is installed (since a few months ago). Gimp reports 1.5.26 (?) I'm trying 2.2.10 now... running 'make clean;git clean -xf;./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr'..
no, same problem as before.. I'll try reinstalling 1.5.26

I've just tried compiling BABL, with similar results.

compiling GLib says, point blank,

You must have libtool >= 2.2 installed to compile GLib. Install the appropriate package for your distribution, or get the source tarball at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/

so, it looks like recent Arch Linux libtool setup is somehow FUBARed (In a way I can't fix by recompiling+installing the official source over the top.)

Conclusion:

The issue was, I had somehow managed to install a copy of the various autotools in /usr/local/
and they were being used instead of the ones in /usr/.

My solution was simply to delete those binaries. GIMP is now happily compiling :)
