#26138 closed defect

qrupdate fails to build if libtool port is active — at Version 1

Reported by: ned@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.1
Keywords: qrupdate libtool Cc: ryandesign@…
Port: qrupdate

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

The Portfile for qrupdate 1.1.1 edits src/Makefile to change the call to "ar -cr" into a call to "libtool -o". However, that usage of libtool only works with the system libtool in /usr/bin, not with the Macports libtool (which is a later version of GNU libtool).

So if you have the Macports libtool port active, you get

libtool: unrecognized option: -o

The workaround is to deactivate the libtool port before building qrupdate.

However, this should be fixed to allow usage with the Macports libtool port active.

The libtool port does not install a program called "libtool", it installs a program called "glibtool", so this should not be a problem. Or have you created a symlink "libtool" pointing to "glibtool"? If so, then that is the problem.
