Hello Goodly Folks,
Thank you for all your work on making libtool so
portable and necessitating that I learn how to spell
dependencies :o)
I recently had the chance to compile libtool-1.3.5
for my SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 box, often referred to as an
i586-sco-sysv5uw7.1.1
Very nice.
I've been furiously compiling programs and libraries
for the last few months. I finally learned enough to
understand the warnings I was getting from libtool that
Interlibrary Dependencies were not known to be supported
and that libtool was dropping them. You know the one.
The end all of this is that it's my belief that
Interlibrary dependencies are well supported, and I'd
like to get a peer review of the following fix.
I checked out the CVS libtool today, 17 Apr 2001.
It looks like one small additional case listing
in libtool.m4 should make it work for Uw7.
First comes your check to see if my host is sysv5*,
then comes my test for the vendor part, which in this
instance, is sco.
Here's what I did.
$ gdiff -U 4 libtool.m4.orig libtool.m4
--- libtool.m4.orig Tue Apr 17 16:07:01 2001
+++ libtool.m4 Tue Apr 17 16:12:21 2001

I hope I didn't suppose too much nor do the
wrong thing here. I appreciate your feedback.

===============
Btw, -lc is not the sort of library you add to Uw7 either,
as Boyd helped me to learn. However, I helped Boyd to learn
that wu-ftpd 2.6.1 needs to compile on Uw7 using SCO's cc and -lc,
in the absence of SCO's UDK.
It will segfault otherwise. So -lc is not well received, but there
is a time when it's used. I have no idea if that has any bearing
on your discussions here about -lc, but I thought I'd throw that
out there. If a maintainer wants an account on my Uw7 box to poke
around, I can help you out if you email me privately.
