Re: libtool not finding /usr/lib/libintl.la or what?

Esteemed co-conspirators,
I've been pulling my hair out trying to build a new cygutils package on
32-bit Cygwin.  The exact same source package builds fine on 64-bit but
32-bit fails with the following...

  CC       src/ipc/semstat.o
  CXX      src/cygdrop/src_cygdrop_cygdrop-cygdrop.o
  CCLD     src/cygicons/libicons.la
  CCLD     src/banner/banner.exe
libtool:   error: cannot find the library '/usr/lib/libintl.la' or
unhandled argument '/usr/lib/libintl.la'

it is pulled by /usr/lib/libpopt.la.


try

$ cd /usr/lib
$ mv libpopt.la libpopt.la_bk

and run again make in build

Amazing. That does work. But what is the correct way to deal with this when some random user wants to build 32-bit cygutils from source? Should the build procedure actually do what you suggested? I could not figure out which package supplies (or used to supply) libintl.la for 32 bits.
Thanks much,

..mark
