Removing the -ltic from the LDFLAGS variable exported prior to ./configure and instead passing it directly to $(MAKE) allows libtool to link tack correctly.
I've just built tack by removing -ltic from the variable exported to ./configure, using this line in debian/rules: $(MAKE) LDFLAGS="-ltic -lncurses" The problem is the need to add ncurses which is plain ugly. I suspect an upstream bug. Maybe stop copying config.guess and config.sub and actually use 'autoreconf -ifs' to sort out the autoconf problems from upstream, although that looks like it will need a patch for configure.in. I suspect upstream are not testing the release with 'make distcheck'. $ autoreconf -ifs autoheader: warning: missing template: CC_HAS_PROTOS autoheader: Use AC_DEFINE([CC_HAS_PROTOS], [], [Description]) autoheader: warning: missing template: HAVE_NCURSESW_NCURSES_H autoheader: warning: missing template: HAVE_NCURSESW_TERM_H autoheader: warning: missing template: HAVE_NCURSES_H autoheader: warning: missing template: HAVE_NCURSES_NCURSES_H autoheader: warning: missing template: HAVE_NCURSES_TERM_H autoheader: warning: missing template: HAVE_SYS_TIME_SELECT autoheader: warning: missing template: HAVE_TERM_H autoheader: warning: missing template: MIXEDCASE_FILENAMES autoheader: warning: missing template: NCURSES autoheader: warning: missing template: NO_LEAKS autoheader: warning: missing template: SIG_ATOMIC_T autoheader: warning: missing template: SYSTEM_NAME autoheader: warning: missing template: USE_DBMALLOC autoheader: warning: missing template: USE_DMALLOC autoheader: warning: missing template: USE_VALGRIND autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoheader failed with exit status: 1 Maybe use the hack for Lenny and talk to upstream about a proper fix using the autoconf tools to make their configure.in code correct. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
