tag-option

[Christoph Wellner]

Hi,

in our project, we mainly use C++-Code. But for speeding-up things,  
sometimes we need to compile assembler-code too. In the past, we used  
libtool 1.4.2a on debian woody. We had no problems. But with the new  
debian sarge, with libtool 1.5.6, we can't compile our software anymore.  
When I try to compile our assembler code using the line

/bin/sh ../../../libtool  --mode=compile /bin/sh  
/home/nmmdemo/nmm2_sarge/strip_fPIC.sh nasm -f elf -I  
/home/nmmdemo/nmm2_sarge/nmm/misc/scaler -I /home/nmmdemo/nmm2_sarge  
scaler_mmx.asm


I get this error:

libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'


When I set --tag=asm, everything works fine. Me question is, when do I  
have to specify a tag? Does it depend on the libtool-verion? If yes, wich  
libtool-verions need this tag an is there a autotool-macro available to  
check, wether libtool needs this tag?


Thanks for answers

Christoph
