Bug #900	BUILD/compile-pentium generates a mysys/Makefile that will not make

Description:
My original post to mysql@lists.mysql.com was incorrect -- my apologies.

I've actually noticed this in the past several releases; I apologize for
not mentioning it sooner.

I run:
BUILD/compile-pentium --with-other-libc=/usr/local/mysql-glibc-2.2.5
--prefix=/usr/local --with-extra-charsets=none --without-innodb
--without-isam

and part-way through, it fails.
Specifically in mysys/Makefile, line 236:
FLAGS = $(DEFS) $(INCLUDES) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) -all-static

needs to be changed to:
FLAGS = $(DEFS) $(INCLUDES) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) -static

I've no experience with autoconf/automake and the like, so I don't even
know where to begin looking, but thought you might like to know.

How to repeat:
untar the tarball
cd mysql-4.0.14
BUILD/compile-pentium --with-other-libc=/usr/local/mysql-glibc-2.2.5 --prefix=/usr/local --with-extra-charsets=none --without-innodb --without-isam

the make portion of this will fail:

Sounds like libtool problem.

What version of libtool do you have?

[shane@aqua shane]$ libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.2a (1.922.2.100 2002/06/26 07:25:14)

I will take a look at this - we have not experienced this one during our
4.0.14 builds.

Shane, it seems like libtool is not actually used in your case. The option "-all-static" is understood by libtool only. Could you please verify if "libtool" is being created in the mysql source dir at all? I have tested it with libtool-1.4.1 and libtool-1.4.2 here. The "--all-static" option is being added, when you use the "--with-other-libc" parameter.

I updated libtool to 1.4.3 from debian apt and am not having further issues. Additionally, I am building a BK pull, not 4.0.14 release, however it does not appear that anything changed in BK which would affect my problem, so I'm guessing the upgrade might have fixed my problem. I am unable to confirm at this time whether or not libtool was being created in the mysql build directory. :(

If I can confirm that at a later date, I'll append it to this ticket, but for now I suppose you can close this one.

Thanks

OK, thanks for the feedback. Feel free to reopen it, if you can reproduce it.
