Re: [bug-gettext] [PATCH] OS/2 patches for gettext

[Ralf Wildenhues]

Hello,

please note that there is a bug-gettext mailing list now for gettext
which I'm adding in Cc: (whereas bug-gnu-gettext forwards to
bug-gnu-utils).

gettext-tools/Makefile.in is generated from gettext-tools/Makefile.am
with automake.  But your patch didn't include any change of that file,
so maybe there is a typo here?

This change requires -shortname support, which has not been committed to
upstream Libtool yet.  Apparently your copyright papers are through now
however, so we can work on the rest of the pending OS/2 patches for
Libtool.

Also, please note that $(subst ...) is GNU make-specific.  You could use
something like this as a portable workaround:
  -shortname `echo $@ | sed 's,.*/,,; s,^lib,k,'`

Cheers,
Ralf
