Re: Xcode build error

Robin,

I ran into this problem trying to build with autotools on Mac.

I don't even pretend to undersand it, but I was able to figure out  
what it is doing.  For whatever reason, libtool is trying to create  
everything from the static libraries.  Apparently it grabs all of the  
static libraries it needs and extracts everything under the .libs  
directory.  It is extracting all of the functions from the systems  
glib library and it combines it back into a single library to create  
libcinepaint.  It has already done this in the wire subdir with glib,  
and so you end up with two instances of all the glib functions.  One  
from the systems glib and the other from the wire subdir where they  
are already part of the library.  If you go in and remove the .libs/ 
libcinepaint.law/libglib.a/*.o references from the gcc command that  
causes the error it finishes correctly.

It doesn't fix the problem, however. Make still dies when run as it  
still wants to include all those duplicate object files.

The solution I used was to replace the libtool in cinepaints root  
directory (I used the one from libpng-1.2.25).  With this done, the  
lib directory built without issue.

hope this helps.

Laters,
Tom
