Several hours later I discovered that my first hack only worked because I was
doing it in a dirty directory. Turns out that the tarball for libgeotiff
has a config.in with a newer modification time than configure, and a makefile
that has the following rules:
config.status: configure
./configure
configure: configure.in
autoconf
Which means that if you do a fresh untar and then do:
./configure --with-ld-shared="gcc -shared"
make
the makefile does this:
autoconf
./configure
build the code
which is Just Wrong, as it undoes your command line option.
At about 2am this morning I changed the wiki *again* to add the extra cheese
that touches configure first, so that the makefile doesn't rebuild it.
This whole thing is a pain, and makes me think that the convenience of
get-maptools.sh is not so convenient --- this is much easier to do by hand
than to hack the script.
