Hi Olly - back on your message from January 2018: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2018-01/msg00007.html
I found I needed the two attached patches to build Xapian (https://xapian.org) on Windows. The first patch was already applied some time ago. The second patch is only needed when using libtool, but should be harmless when not. I agree. Belatedly applied, sorry for the crazy delay. Thanks. (And thanks to Bogdan for unearthing this from the archives.) diff --git a/lib/compile b/lib/compile index 38ab1224b..58f7f214a 100755 --- a/lib/compile +++ b/lib/compile @@ -143,7 +143,7 @@ func_cl_wrapper () # configure might choose to run compile as 'compile cc -o foo foo.c'. eat=1 case $2 in - *.o | *.[oO][bB][jJ]) + *.o | *.lo | *.[oO][bB][jJ]) func_file_conv "$2" set x "$@" -Fo"$file" shift compile finished at Fri Nov 24 09:19:59 2023
