[gst-devel] libtool 1.4 bug, and fix

[Andy Wingo]

Hey folks,

libtool 1.4 has a bug, and I don't know how far back it goes. It
involves overquoting while in execute mode, which causes 'libtool gdb
gstreamer-launch' and the like to fail. This has been fixed in
libtool cvs:

http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/libtool/ltmain.in.diff?r1=1.259.2.9&r2=1.259.2.10&f=h

or, on my system, change line 4900 in /usr/bin/libtool from

  exec_cmd='"$cmd"$args

to

  exec_cmd="\$cmd$args"

I have added this note to the GstDebugging node in the wiki.

Regards,

wingo
