Hi,

I'm currently trying to port php-gtk which has some problematic
build-dependencies:

 * automake 1.4
 * autoconf 2.13
 * libtool 1.4.2

(At least this combination is reported to work, see
http://gtk.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php)

However, any combination I tried did not lead to a stable port that
builds on any system. Sometimes I have been able to create a working
configure-script, but the port that did work fine on one host did fail
on another.

I guess these problems are caused by the old libtool, so currently there
is no good way to solve this problem. I am thinking of taking the
configure-script and any created files from a host where the port
worked, ship it in an additional tgz and just extract that second tgz
before the configure-process.

Would this be a good solution or would you say this is crap?

Thanks for any advice and greets from Karlsruhe,
Alex
