Re: bogus warning 'seems to be moved'

[Charles Wilson]

Just FYI...

I don't think the following scenario applies to either of you, but I ran
into the warning in the case described below -- and the warning is valid
(e.g. we shouldn't try to fix MY case).

I was using a cross compiler with sysroot support (cygwin->mingw) to
build cygwin's setup.exe.  I was linking against some pre-built
libraries (compression, gpg) built using that cross compiler, but using
an older, pre-sysroot-support version of libtool.  (E.g. these libs are
NOT the mingw-libfoo packages currently available from cygwin.com).

Anyway, so what I had was:

/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/liblzma.la

etc, but -- because the lib was built using a non-sysroot libtool, the
.la file specifies

libdir='/mingw/lib'

NOT

libdir='=/mingw/lib'

So, when building setup.exe using a libtool that supports
--with-sysroot, it (quite rightly) complains that liblzma.la "appears to
be moved" -- because it (a) is NOT in /mingw/lib, and (b) doesn't have
the magic '=' sysroot marker.

This is as designed.  The "fix" is for me to rebuild liblzma et al using
a sysroot-capable libtool.

Just wanted to point out this scenario, which has similar symptoms as
those reported by Marco and Dave, but is NOT an error.
