bglibs fails to build

[George Georgalis]

So, I decided to give cvm a try and am starting with bglibs-1.102,
but it fails to build with

libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'

I tried using make and gmake on this netbsd
3.0.0_STABLE system, seems this has come up before
but I don't see a fix. Is anyone familiar with the
problem able to offer a solution?

George,

I am having the same problem, compiling under OpenBSD 4.0

Well no. I've seen libtool problem repotrs quoting
"libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'"
as old as NetBSD 1.x so I guess it's not specifically
a bglibs problem but an API/standards issue. Unfortunatly
for all the problem reports I looked at, I didn't see
any solution.

it looks like a test of the following command, but I don't know
what --tag is or what the BG script test is about. --- see below.

BTW I'm using libtool-1.5.22 on i386
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/devel/libtool/README.html

***@run:/home/geo/ libtool --tag=CC --help && echo yes || echo no
Usage: libtool [OPTION]... [MODE-ARG]...

Provide generalized library-building support services.

--config show all configuration variables
--debug enable verbose shell tracing
-n, --dry-run display commands without modifying any files
--features display basic configuration information and exit
--finish same as `--mode=finish'
--help display this help message and exit
--mode=MODE use operation mode MODE [default=inferred from MODE-ARGS]
--quiet same as `--silent'
--silent don't print informational messages
--tag=TAG use configuration variables from tag TAG
--version print version information

MODE must be one of the following:

clean remove files from the build directory
compile compile a source file into a libtool object
execute automatically set library path, then run a program
finish complete the installation of libtool libraries
install install libraries or executables
link create a library or an executable
uninstall remove libraries from an installed directory

MODE-ARGS vary depending on the MODE. Try `libtool --help --mode=MODE' for
a more detailed description of MODE.

Report bugs to <bug-***@gnu.org>.
yes

So, I decided to give cvm a try and am starting with bglibs-1.102,
but it fails to build with
libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'
I tried using make and gmake on this netbsd
3.0.0_STABLE system, seems this has come up before
but I don't see a fix. Is anyone familiar with the
problem able to offer a solution?

Have you solved this? If not, any reason you're not building it from
pkgsrc?
