Re: bug with libtool-1.4.3 and tru64 5.1

[Jean-Louis Martineau]

Hi,

My problem was because SHELL was still set to "/bin/sh" in the generated
libtool.

But why?

Because the SHELL variable was reset to /bin/sh somewhere else
in the configure script, before libtool was generated.

Maybe libtool should use it's own variable, like LIBTOOL_SHELL.

What I don't like with the current behavior is that it set 'SHELL = /bin/ksh'
in the Makefile. Now everything will use ksh only because libtool need it.
