LIBTOOL.ECLASS

NAME

libtool - fixes the libtool files that are distributed with some packages

DESCRIPTION

The libtool eclass provides an easy way to patch the libtool files that come with some packages. Often times these files are outdated and misbehave inside of the portage build environment.

VARIABLES

ELT_APPLIED_PATCHES This variable is exported by the libtool eclass. It contains a whitespace-delimited list of patches that were successfully applied.

FUNCTIONS

elibtoolize [--portage] [--reverse-deps] [--patch-only] [--remove-internal-dep=DEP_TO_REMOVE] [--shallow]

This function should be called from src_unpack. If called with no arguments, it will apply a default set of patches to all occurrences of ltmain.sh and then run libtoolize. The default set of patches are located in ${PORTDIR}/eclass/ELT-patches.

--portage: Apply the portage patch.
--reverse-deps: Apply the reverse dependencies patch. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75635 for more information.
--patch-only: If specified, libtoolize will not be run if none of the patches apply.
--remove-internal-deps=DEP_TO_REMOVE: Replaces @REM_INT_DEP@ with DEP_TO_REMOVE.
--shallow: Instead of recursively patching all occurrences of ltmain.sh, only patch the ltmain.sh in ${S}.
