#23684: libtool @2.2.6b installs sometimes lack dylibs -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: gnwiii@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: libtool | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * owner: boeyms@… => ryandesign@… * status: reopened => new Comment: I brought the issue up with the developers of libtool on their mailing list, and [http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug- libtool/2011-10/msg00027.html Peter O'Gorman's reply] was that this is a bug in libtool's build. libtool's build looks for a fortran compiler, and when it finds one, but it is broken, it takes note of the fact that the fortran compiler cannot build shared libraries, but this mistakenly overrides the earlier detection that the C and C++ compilers ''are'' able to (and should) create shared libraries. Peter provided a solution to prevent libtool from attempting to locate a fortran compiler, which in MacPorts we never want libtool to be doing anyway. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/23684#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
