Description matthias.andree 2006-03-06 00:49:19 UTC 
trying to compile libxslt from GARNOME 2.13.92 on SUSE Linux 10.0 i586 fails:

 ==> Running make in work/main.d/libxslt-1.1.15
make[6]: Entering directory `/space/tmp/garnome-2.13.92/platform/libxslt/work/main.d/libxslt-1.1.15'
cd . && /bin/sh /space/tmp/garnome-2.13.92/platform/libxslt/work/main.d/libxslt-1.1.15/missing --run aclocal-1.9
aclocal:configure.in:98: warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
 cd . && /bin/sh /space/tmp/garnome-2.13.92/platform/libxslt/work/main.d/libxslt-1.1.15/missing --run automake-1.9 --gnu
libexslt/Makefile.am:7: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
libexslt/Makefile.am:7:
... (for other subdirectories, too, but not shown here - too boring) ...

Workaround (shell commands, the aclocal is crucial):

cd platform/libxslt/work/main.d/libxslt-1.1.15
aclocal -I ${main_sharedstatedir}/aclocal
make install
cd -
Comment 1 Bob Kashani 2006-03-06 01:25:32 UTC 
What happens if you remove FIXUP_SCRIPTS = $(WORKSRC)/libtool line from platform/libxslt/Makefile? Does that get rid of the error?
Comment 2 matthias.andree 2006-03-06 02:11:24 UTC 
The error persists.

Looking closer, it is no surprise: files/upstream-fixes.diff patches the configure script before configure.in, and the configure.in changes trigger running aclocal and other scripts to rebuild things like aclocal.m4.
Comment 3 Joseph Sacco 2006-03-06 13:32:44 UTC 
Mattias,

Both configure and configure.in were patched only for completeness.  Not every app will rebuild configure if configure.in is patched. 

Please try the following:
(1) make sure that ./bootstrap/gnome-common has been built and installed
(2) edit gar.conf.mk
add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS as shown below:

   # allow us to find possibly installed autofoo
   ACLOCAL_FLAGS += -I $(datadir)/aclocal
   ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS += -I $(datadir)/aclocal

(3) make cookieclean
(4) make

-Joseph
