[Description Sean Groarke 2004-02-24 00:54:01 UTC]

When building freeradius-0.9.3 libtool fails with 

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

This is only with libtool 1.5.2-r1 or -r3

All OK with libtool 1.4.3-r3

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use libtool-1.5.2-r1
2.emerge freeradius
3.

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

(Sorry not full output)

Created attachment 30655 [details]
freeradius version, that solves problem with libtool

Sorry for every mistake I have made - this is my first 'gentoo bugzilla' entry
;-)

I have tried to build freeradius 'from hand' with libtool-1.5.2-r{35} and it
was ok (no problems). So - i decided to watch what is wrong with ebuild. The
only thing I have made was to cut the '--with-system-libtool' string.

Also (personally) I have a problem with '--host=${CHOST}' string and missing
'export WANT_AUTOCONF=2.1' _just befor_ configure (i don't know why - it was in
the src_unpack() section...).

Now - it's working ok. I have tried this ebuild on my athlon-xp and some P3
laptop.

Regards

Just a friendly pointer for next time - the devs generally prefer patches. It is far easier to glance at a 3-5 line unified diff than crawl through an entire ebuild looking for single-line changes :-)
