Re: plugins on the command line are renamed

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

OK, based on that diagnosis, I did a bit of debugging using libtool 2.2.6a.

The lines of interest appear in the func_mode_execute function (for me
they are 2224-2233):

   # Do a test to see if this is really a libtool program.
   if func_ltwrapper_script_p "$file"; then
     func_source "$file"
     # Transform arg to wrapped name.
     file="$progdir/$program"
   elif func_ltwrapper_executable_p "$file"; then
     func_ltwrapper_scriptname "$file"
     func_source "$func_ltwrapper_scriptname_result"
     # Transform arg to wrapped name.
     file="$progdir/$program"
   fi

The func_ltwrapper_script_p file looks at raise_globals.la, and greps
for "Generated by .*libtool", which matches the line "# Generated by
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2.6 ". I'm not 100% clear if it should
match, but if I remove that line from raise_globals.la, it works fine.
Should it match? If so, the line "file=$progdir/$program" seems very
odd.

I rebuilt my package with libtool 2.2.6a (by overwriting ./libtool
with it - im not clear if that is sufficient), and it still generated
that line in raise_globals.la.

I'm not quite sure what to do next though?

Thanks,
Paul
