Description Paul Vojta 2005-10-28 00:24:21 UTC 
In the X11R7-RC1 packaged libraries, I get the following error messages:

    ./libtool: line 4181: test: : integer expression expected

Lines 4216, 5439, and 5461 also occur.

I can work around the problem by setting the environment variable max_cmd_len
to -1 when building.  The problem also occurs with
lib{Xau,fontenc,Xfont,Xdmcp,xkbfile}, but is most severe with libX11, since
then it fills up my disk adding object files to the library one by one
and keeping each intermediate copy.

See also bug #94 (yes that long ago).

mmm.  i must not have found a version of libtoolize where this _isn't_ a
problem, and i've tried about a half dozen versions now.  is there a known good one?

martin schlemmer (az@ from gentoo) helpfully diagnosed this, i was picking up a
libtool.m4 from a 1.4 version of libtool during the aclocal phase.  sorted on
the build box, should be fixed in future release balls.
