8.38. Libtool-2.5.4

8.38.1. Installation of Libtool

Prepare Libtool for compilation:

./configure --prefix=/usr

Compile the package:

make

To test the results, issue:

make -k check

Five tests are known to fail in the LFS build environment due to a circular dependency, but these tests pass if rechecked after automake has been installed. Additionally, with grep-3.8 or newer, two tests will trigger a warning for non-POSIX regular expressions and fail.

Install the package:

make install

Remove a useless static library:

rm -fv /usr/lib/libltdl.a

8.38.2. Installation of Libtool - 32bit

Clean previous build:

make distclean

Prepare Libtool for compilation:

CC="gcc -m32" ./configure \
    --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
    --prefix=/usr            \
    --libdir=/usr/lib32

Compile the package:

make

Install the package:

make DESTDIR=$PWD/DESTDIR install
cp -Rv DESTDIR/usr/lib32/* /usr/lib32
rm -rf DESTDIR

8.38.3. Installation of Libtool - x32bit

Clean previous build:

make distclean

Prepare Libtool for compilation:

CC="gcc -mx32" ./configure \
    --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnux32 \
    --prefix=/usr                 \
    --libdir=/usr/libx32
