Re: libtool problem

[Robert Boehne]

You are somehow mixing parts of libtool from different versions.  --tag has been required since version 1.5, so some part of what you've built uses something even older, circa 2002.  First, try re-generating the configury for this project using newish tools.  'autoreconf" might do it.  You may also contact the project for the package you are trying to build, you might have missed some documentation that may tell you how to build it.

Hello,

Very low bandwidth user, my only connection is using my phone as a hotspot which limits me to ~60 Kbits once I use the very low monthly allotment (that broadband users usually have used in two days)

I have tried to search web for answers but it is very difficult as many sites pull in heavy third party resources.

Okay -

Platform: CentOS 7.5 x86_64 building inside of mock (necessary repositories locally mirrored while borrowing bandwidth from library, I can keep they rsynced at my slow speed at night so they are current)

Software (audacity) - older version require insecure dependency EPEL removed due to its insecurity, building against newer results in GUI that doesn't work.

Latest version of audacity requires GCC 4.9 or newer.

So I built a GCC 5.5.0 w/ prefix of /opt/gnu - it's built w/o multilib and with just c,c++,objc,objc++ support (I probably only need the first two)

With that gcc specified I get this error:

Looking at http://metastatic.org/text/libtool.html from search results, I built libtool 2.4.2 (same version CentOS 7 has) rpm from pristine source but with a prefix of /opt/gnu and I built it using the gcc 5.5.0 in /opt/gnu

Still get same error when specifying that libtool to audacity configure.

Looking at audacity, seems they make their own libtool script. I read it trying to find where the error might be.

Found the line

-- code --
sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec="/lib /usr/lib /opt/gnu/lib64 "
-- /code --

Now after configure I try this but still get same error:

-- code --
sed -i -e 's?^sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec="/lib /usr/lib?sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec="/lib64 /usr/lib64?g' libtool

-- /code --

I know the gcc 5.5.0 build works, I tested that with simple

echo 'int main(){}' > dummy.c

I do however suspect the error is somewhere on my end. Any suggestions?

Full environmental variables I'm passing to audacity configure script:

-- code --
LIBTOOL=/opt/gnu/bin/libtool CC=/opt/gnu/bin/gcc CXX=/opt/gnu/bin/g++ CPP=/opt/gnu/bin/cpp LDFLAGS="-L/opt/gnu/lib64" CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/gnu/include"
-- /code --
