Subject: | bug#67754: tags for objc and objcxx |
Date: | Sun, 10 Dec 2023 19:39:41 -0600 |
Hi (is there anyone maintaining libtool nowadays? Alex, are you there?) -
I just installed the patch below to Automake, passing the OBJC and
OBJCXX tags to libtool for the respective languages. It would be good if
libtool recognized those tags.
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=67539
The reason to pass them before being recognized by libtool is to
avoid an immediate fatal error, as explained in that bug.
The libtool manual says (line 2930):
[...] can't infer
a tag, then it defaults to the configuration for the @code{C} language.
But clearly this is no longer the case, which seems like a good
thing. Thus I suggest replacing that text with something like:
[...] can't infer
a tag, then it exits immediately with a fatal error.
Happy hacking,
Karl
