libtool returns an error when compiling ttmkfdir.  Browsing the forums, it
looks like serveral ebuilds have this "unable to infer tagged configuration"
with libtool.  oddly, 'emerge libtool' solves the libtool problem.

Why is libtool not generated in the bootstrap or part of the dependancy tree
for ttmkfdir ebuilds?


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
01. explode stage1-x86-2004.3.tar.bz2
02. bind proc
03. chroot into exploded dir
04. env-update
05. source /etc/profile
06. emerge sync
07. tweek my make.conf
08. emerge --nodeps linux26-headers
10. cd /usr/portage
11. scripts/bootstrap.sh
12. emerge system
13. emerge grub syslog-ng reiserfsprogs lvm2 vixie-cron iptables traceroute
ethereal aide apg bind-tools smartmontools pciutils dosfstools ddclient at ntp
screen vim keychain gallery kde mozilla-firefox mozilla-thunderbird gvim gimp
dia gaim
Actual Results:  
This is within the ttmkfdir ebuild which is a dependancy for ethereal

libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag' 

Expected Results:  

should have compiled for a really long time.

If I 'emerge libtool' prior to step 13 above, the compile works without a
hitch!

I've looked a lot in bugzilla, and found nothing that comes close to this.. 
Others have found this problem and same solution in the forums as well

I was incorrect, emerge system does build libtool after the boot strap (i.e.
inside of step 12)...

this is a portion of the emerge.log that illustrates the problem.  you can see
where it terminates the first time, I then emerge libtool, then continue
emerging the 122 ebuilds...

what is wrong with the libtool created in 'emerge system'?

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 67692 ***

Hi vapier/SpanKY,

Yesterday, I have build a new system from stage1 with the tree from yesterday, after completing the installation I wanted to install xorg-x11. When I arrived at ttmkfdir I got the -tag-problem (see bug 67692) after `export CC=gcc CXX=g++ && emerge libtool` everything works fine.

So it seems that this problem isn't solved yet.

I can not reopen the bug 67692 that is supposed to be a duplicate of...  please
repoen it, or unmark this as a dulicate.

The problem is real, exists, and many users are encountering it.  bug 67692
presents a workaround, not a solution. Following mainstream instructions
results in the error, something needs to be tweaked...

Thanks in advance,
-d

fixed in 1.5.10

So when will 1.5.10 become stable for x86?

are you sure that is fixed with 1.5.10?
see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79624

I got 1.5.10-r4 and still have this problem
(building sawfish/rep-gtk).
See my comment on bug 67692.

multiple requests to re-open bug.  Please re-address this problemo

I still have this problem, too. :-( See
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19094#c74

i cant fix anything with you just saying 'the problem still exists'

i need people to attach /usr/bin/libtool, the log of `emerge [package that fail] >& log`, and the output of `emerge info`

Created an attachment (id=50739) [details]
emerge info

Created an attachment (id=50740) [details]
emerge mod_jk

The result is exactly the same for some of the packages mentioned in duplicate
bugs: libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration. I think it is
useless to attach any more. 

Created an attachment (id=50741) [details]
/usr/bin/libtool

your bug is 90% unrelated to this bug

it looks like apache2 does something stupid like include libtool in their package (from your output, /usr/lib/apache2/build/libtool is being executed, NOT /usr/bin/libtool)

file a bug for them since base-system has nothing to do with apache2

I

I´m not really sure to whom should I fill the bug, apparently maintainers of
mod_jk don´t want the bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19094#c73

I will point them to your comment anyway. Thanks.

emerge rep-gtk problem

A quick exam of the emerge output seems to show that rep-gtk has the same
problem as mod_jk, namely running
    /usr/lib/rep/i386-pc-linux-gnu/libtool
instead of
    /usr/bin/libtool
I have entered a comment stating this on bug 70514 and I hope the rep-gtk
people will take care of it.

Thanks,
Adam

thank you adam

is--tag required now?  I used to invoke libtool myself for little support
libraries for my own code and now it doesn't work.

I figured out thought that the problem was caused by CC=cc.  This used to work
and I believe it still should work. 

new autotools will automatically invoke libtool with --tag
