There has previously been some discussion about using the Debian 5 autotools (autoconf, automake, libtool)
In my own experiments with this, I've found a couple of issues: a) libtool appears to be broken now on Cygwin - this appears to be a libtool related regression - when compiling, it aborts with messages like "Xgcc command not found". The solution is to add this to libtool: echo="echo" b) 'make install' doesn't install shared libraries on AIX, although bootstrapping with a newer autotools setup results in a successful 'make install' I'm not sure that we had this level of support for AIX before anyway, so it may not be a regression - but the Cygwin issue is definitely a regression. Has anyone seen similar issues with libtool, not necessarily with Ganglia? Do we push ahead with the Debian 5 autotools, move to a newer autotools, or revert to older autotools? I've put up 3.1 r2252 at http://www.pocock.com.au/ganglia/test - please let me know if any other platform is broken. I've tested on Debian, RHEL4, RHEL5, Solaris 8 and 10 and Cygwin myself ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Ganglia-developers mailing list Ganglia-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-developers
