Description Greg Turner 2010-02-04 06:44:01 UTC

On Interix (6, at least, but presumably all Interixen), the libtool bundled with sqlite decides it is unable to build shared libraries.  This, in turn, leads indirectly to the failure of subversion, and perhaps other ebuilds.

A simple, ugly work-around is to run libtoolize --copy --force, which despite some scary warnings, successfully builds the shared library.  This fixes subversion.

A better solution, I guess, would be to enhance elibtoolize to fix whatever the problem is with libtool 1.5.24, which supposedly supports Interix -- but, being a bit of an autotools ignoramus, I was unable to figure out the problem myself.

the problem is, that libtool 1.5.24 has _very_ limited interix support - it's simply not enough - added eautoreconf instead of elibtoolize. i'm waiting for ok to commit right now - shoul dbe resolved in a few minutes to hours. thanks for reporting.
