Note that whatever libtool (specifically libltdl) is used, it needs to be patched to know that the FreeBSD dynamic linker already tracks dependencies. By default, libtool will do its own dependency management. This can result in massively poor startup performance (eg 15 minutes instead of 5-10 seconds for gnucash). See ports/94826 for the fix (which is already in the upstream libool). --=20 Peter Jeremy --fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEkx3o/opHv/APuIcRAhbmAKCMWnltQhJ7cI5GoHWXQ0UQ6RswpwCdEYDC c808O/xFmBKYxZxO/UH3zxA= =bf9L -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7--
