[Adonthell-general] some error while building libltdl-dev is good at my end. The system is a 64-bit system, maybe its not looking for 64-bit path systems.

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi Kai,
    Got time today to try to build adonthell-tools-build on another
box where I do not have access to /usr/local so making do with
prefix=/home/shirish/games/adonthell (have rights to do anything in
username only on this box). Made a directory called adonthell and then
checked out the svn directory into that sub-directory.

Now adonthell built without issue on this box.

With adonthell-tools-build I got this error while building, looking at
the build errors but couldn't make out what the issue is ?

This is the ./configure command, that worked out after putting up the
libgtk2.0-dev stuff in :-

$ make
(CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd ../adonthell-tools && /bin/bash
/home/shirish/games/adonthell/adonthell-tools/missing --run
autoheader)

and then at the end  the thing with libtool bit :-

libtool: link: ar cru .libs/_gtk.a  _gtk_la-gfx_gtk.o
_gtk_la-screen_gtk.o _gtk_la-surface_gtk.o
libtool: link: ranlib .libs/_gtk.a
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libltdl.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libltdl.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[3]: *** [_gtk.la] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/shirish/games/adonthell/adonthell-tools-build/src/backend'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/shirish/games/adonthell/adonthell-tools-build/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/shirish/games/adonthell/adonthell-tools-build'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Now  for sure there isn't a /usr/lib/libltdl.la on my system but its
there on a different directory.

$ file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libltdl.la
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libltdl.la: libtool library file,

$ ll -h /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libltdl.la
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 949 Oct 30 00:56 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libltdl.la

maybe the build system needs to check for 64-bit system paths and then
try to go to that alternative directory ?

Looking forward to comments and any info. needed.
