From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Daniel.Thibault@drdc-rddc.gc.ca (Thibault, Daniel) Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:34:00 -0500 Subject: [lttng-dev] The disable-libtool-linkdep-fixup configure option Message-ID: <3CA1A65C03C1A34C81BBC6272782E6969BDD05@valcartierex01.valcartier.drdc-rddc.gc.ca> The git.lttng.org packages lttng-ust and lttng-tools have a configure option named disable-libtool-linkdep-fixup. The 'linkdep fixup', if I understand correctly, serves to fix a problem with the version of the libtool package used with Debian systems (and possibly others), as described in http://bugs.lttng.org/issues/321. The fixup in question consists of changing occurrences of the 'link_all_deplibs=no' flag in config/libtool.m4 to 'link_all_deplibs=unknown' instead. The default value of the option is 'yes' (re: configure.ac), which means the fixup is applied. Setting the option to another value, such as 'no', means the fixup is not applied. Why then is the option named *disable*-libtool-linkdep-fixup? Shouldn't it be named *enable*-libtool-linkdep-fixup instead? Daniel U.
