Re: Avail for test: libtool-devel-1.9f_20041024-1, libltdl6-1.9f_20041024-1

I have one problem with libtool 1.9d, that I suspect is still present
in 1.9f. If I specify -lpthread when linking, libtool searches for a
real file matching -lpthread, like this:

*** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lpthread.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in
when
*** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have

*** using a file magic. Last file checked: /lib/libpthread.a

Then you have a binutils problem. The new magic for /lib/libpthread.a tells libtool that this is the import library. (which normally would be called libpthread.dll.a)


$ file -L /lib/libpthread.a
/lib/libpthread.a: current ar archive

# ok, this failed.

$ objdump -f /lib/libpthread.a | sed 10q

#this will detect together with nm that it is an import lib

func_win32_libid () {
win32_libid_type="unknown"
win32_fileres=`file -L $1 2>/dev/null`
case $win32_fileres in
*ar\ archive\ import\ library*) # definitely import
win32_libid_type="x86 archive import"
;;
*ar\ archive*) # could be an import, or static
if eval $OBJDUMP -f $1 | $SED -e '10q' 2>/dev/null | \
$EGREP -e 'file format pe-i386(.*architecture: i386)?' >/dev/null ; then
win32_nmres=`eval $NM -f posix -A $1 | \
sed -n -e '1,100{/ I /{x;/import/!{s/^/import/;h;p;};x;};}'`
if test "X$win32_nmres" = "Ximport" ; then
win32_libid_type="x86 archive import"
else
win32_libid_type="x86 archive static"
fi
fi
;;


....

Because of this, libtool fails to build the dll in question, which is a
pity.
