When building Shishi using latest gnulib, I got this: ../gl/.libs/libgnu.a(lt1-getdate.o): In function `yyparse': /home/jas/src/shishi/gl/getdate.c:1398: multiple definition of `yyparse' ../gl/.libs/libgnu.a(getdate.o):/home/jas/src/shishi/gl/getdate.c:1398: first defined here ../gl/.libs/libgnu.a(lt1-getdate.o): In function `get_date': /home/jas/src/shishi/gl/getdate.y:1167: multiple definition of `get_date' ../gl/.libs/libgnu.a(getdate.o):/home/jas/src/shishi/gl/getdate.y:1167: first defined here collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
The cause appears to be that getdate.lo is added twice to the libtool command: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/shishi/gl$ rm getdate.lo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/shishi/gl$ make ... /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -o libgnu.la allocsa.lo base64.lo getdate.lo progname.lo strnlen1.lo xgetdomainname.lo xgethostname.lo xstrndup.lo xvasprintf.lo xasprintf.lo mktime.lo crc.lo gc-gnulib.lo arcfour.lo des.lo md5.lo hmac-md5.lo memxor.lo sha1.lo hmac-sha1.lo md4.lo gc-pbkdf2-sha1.lo getdate.lo gettime.lo mbchar.lo read-file.lo strcasecmp.lo timegm.lo vasnprintf.lo printf-args.lo printf-parse.lo asnprintf.lo xmalloc.lo xreadlink.lo -lresolv This can be reproduced without libtool using: rm -rf /tmp/testdir;./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=/tmp/testdir getdate cd /tmp/testdir && autoreconf -fvi && ./configure && make ... ar cru libgnu.a allocsa.o getdate.o xalloc-die.o mktime.o exitfail.o getdate.o gettime.o xmalloc.o The getdate Makefile.am snippet is: libgnu_a_SOURCES += getdate.y BUILT_SOURCES += getdate.c MAINTAINERCLEANFILES += getdate.c EXTRA_DIST += getdate.c getdate.h The getdate.m4 contains: AC_LIBOBJ([getdate]) I'm not exactly sure what happens, but it seems AC_LIBOBJ adds one copy of getdate.lo, and automake adds another (due to BUILT_SOURCE?). Any ideas on how to best solve this? /Simon
