[gnome-love] Jhbuild problem - 1 out of many...

[Luis Menina <liberforce fr st>]

Hi all,

After having chatted on #gnome-love about this problem, and found its 
cause (but no solution), i put it here. Maybe someone can help me 
(Elijah ?).

This problem is about building gst-plugins.  It seems I have the problem 
described in  
http://www.gnome.org/~newren/tutorials/developing-with-gnome/html/ch04s03.html 
in the "libtool hates me" section. Libtool seems to be buggy and i would 
like to know were i can get a patch for it, or a version that has not 
this bug, instead of the quick hack (that doesn't work for me either) 
described in the tutorial.

Someone (pbor) told me on #gnome-love that the debian version was 
patched against this, but the libtool used is the one retrieved with 
"jhbuild bootstrap", that is libtool-1.5.10...  so the distro's libtool 
is not used.

[liberforce localhost liberforce]$ jhbuild run which libtool
/opt/gnome2/bin/libtool

This version is the same version as the official one that can be found 
at http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/libtool.html , MD5 sums are 
equal. I even tried the development release (1.9f), but that didn't fix 
the bug. So why the hell the version available in CVS is unpatched if a 
patch for this bug exists ? How can I pass through this ? Any Idea ?

Thanks in advance for your help...
