Re: [ITP] libungif-4.1.0-1
Steven's 'mkdll.sh' script is just plain wrong. libungif is a
libtoolized package, you should just relibtoolize.
Problem is.. what is libtool? 0=)
Well one of the reasons why I work on cygwin is just to learn... I guess
it is time to do some google:libtool and go finding a FAQ/manual about it
(grrr, www.gnu.org is down... I hope libtool manual's mirror at
www.delorie.com is fresh enough)
Whoa, 950kb instead of 9k patch?
Now I understand fully all those messages "relibtoolized source package"
vs "libtoolize in the script"... I think I prefer the latter, the patch
is much cleaner and the user that wants to rebuild the package just
needs to install things, doesn't need any special knowledge.
I posted it some time ago when Harold thought he had more time -- I
thought you were basing your version on that, rather than using
Steven's mkdll.sh.
I didn't notice about that, I am now restarting from scratch, using your
advice.
BTW, you can also relibtoolize glib (and probably gtk) in a similar way.
I'll try after libungif.
Did I mention that I *really* dislike that mkdll.sh script?
Uh.. heard something like that... once or twice in the present message ;)
OK, I prepared the package using "aclocal && libtoolize --force" at the
beginning of the "conf" phase.
Only difference from the past package is that instead of
usr/bin/cygungif.dll it creates usr/bin/cygungif-4.dll, is this
normal/expected?
