I'll look into it. The "can_build_shared" shell variable is not tagged (not one var per compiler), so even though the C and C++ compilers would work, any broken compiler that comes later in the tests will cause libtool to not build shared libraries. The code in question is a bit of a mess and may take a little sorting out. In the meantime, if you build libtool with configure F77=no FC=no; make then it should disable the fortran tag. The installed libtool script then will not be able to build fortran code, but the use of the installed build script to build packages is not encouraged anyway. Your users with broken fortran compilers will continue to see brokenness building other packages, since most autotools based build systems embed some version of libtool. Peter

In MacPorts, many users (some of the tickets are listed below) have experienced a problem building libtool, where the shared library libltdl.dylib doesn't get built. It took awhile to identify that this was the problem, because the failure was silent; the libtool port seemed to install successfully, but did not contain libltdl.dylib, which caused various problems for other software down the road. Once we added a check to the libtool port to prevent the installation from completing if libltdl.dylib didn't get built, we were able to work out that the common thread was the presence of a fortran compiler. Some users had a fortran compiler installed at /usr/bin/gfortran; others had /usr/bin/g77 or /bin/f77. While we find it an error for any 3rd-party package to have installed files in those locations, since those are system directories, we nevertheless have the situation that these packages do exist, so we have to deal with them. This is libtool < 2.0, right? Please update. We've fixed this years ago. Thanks, Ralf

What does it use it for? Libtool supports building and linking Fortran code so it tests the Fortran compiler. The libltdl library should *not* be dependent on Fortran in any way.

In MacPorts, many = users (some of the tickets are listed below) have experienced a problem = building libtool, where the shared library libltdl.dylib doesn't get = built. It took awhile to identify that this was the problem, because the = failure was silent; the libtool port seemed to install successfully, but = did not contain libltdl.dylib, which caused various problems for other = software down the road. Once we added a check to the libtool port to = prevent the installation from completing if libltdl.dylib didn't get = built, we were able to work out that the common thread was the presence = of a fortran compiler. Some users had a fortran compiler installed at = /usr/bin/gfortran; others had /usr/bin/g77 or /bin/f77. While we find it = an error for any 3rd-party package to have installed files in those = locations, since those are system directories, we nevertheless have the = situation that these packages do exist, so we have to deal with them. I'm also able to reproduce the problem by just creating a script called = "gfortran" somewhere in the path that does nothing more than exit 1. So the questions are: * How do we prevent libtool from attempting to use gfortran, g77, f77, = or any other fortran compiler, even if it's installed? * For what reason is libtool looking for a fortran compiler at all? What = does it use it for?
