Ah! I do get a ./configure script. It's only that it doesn't work.
libtool-1.2f gives me the same error message on execution of this
script as 1.3.2 did:
...
updating cache ./config.cache
ltconfig: unrecognized option `--cache-file=./config.cache'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
configure: error: libtool configure failed
Hmm... both the ltconfig of libtool-1.2f and libtool-1.3.2 accepts the
--cache-file directive.
However there is an
libwww/config/ltconfig
file which doesn't:
$ ./config/ltconfig --cache-file=./config.cache
ltconfig: unrecognized option `--cache-file=./config.cache'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
Why is the latter script part of the libwww checkout? Why does the
autoconf script pick this ltconfig instead of the libtool one?
Hm... what happens if I move this ltconfig away? Ah...
configure.in: 38: required file `config/ltconfig' not found
A configure script is still created, but it terminates with this error
message:
...
checking whether ln -s works... yes
updating cache ./config.cache
config/ltconfig: config/ltconfig: No such file or directory
configure: error: libtool configure failed
