Hi Gary!
I notice that the latest sharutils relies on iconv.m4 and friends from gnulib to provide --with-libiconv-prefix and --with-libintl-prefix. But, these macros are assuming that you will link using libtool,..... m4/gnulib-cache.m4 seems to indicate that you already called gnulib-tool with --no-libtool, but I'm not sure whether it's a bug in gnulib that injects all those -R's into the linker flags, or whether sharutils is not using gnulib correctly. I can work around it .....
If it is incompatible to use "--no-libtool" and to use "iconv.m4", then it is definitely a gnulib bug to allow that without reporting an error. That notwithstanding, I do not remember if there was a reason at all for using "--no-libtool". My thinking may have been that "this is all working now and all I need to do is pull in the various m4 macros that were carried around in sharutils source and are now obsolete", consequently try to not perturb too much. Dunno. I got no complaints from the last release, proving either that it works for the most part or nobody really cares. :-D > .... but if I can provide any more information to fix this > properly at the source please don't hesitate to ask. Let me see if removing the no-libtool thingey makes it work. Thanks - Bruce
