Probably the best attempt (I've seen) at doing anything about libtool, was by Jeremy Norris as seen in ports/33916. This PR was last updated Sep 08 2002. I took a few hours today to review the patches offered by Jeremy, and to look at the way concurrent versions of autoconf (et al) are handled in ports. As a result, I threw together a revised set of patches that may be enough to get things moving towards a happy coexistence of both versions of libtool in the ports tree. Attempts were made to keep as many existing ports from breaking, but some cases could not be avoided. I have posted my patches and a brief README at the following address: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~flemej/freebsd/libtool-upgrade/ I am not subscribed to freebsd-ports, so please cc me if you wish. No need to cc me if a war should break out over this. Take it easy, -James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
