Bug #68592 [Com]: libtool adds tag "yes" that it cannot later understand

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68592&edit=1 ID: 68592 Comment by: ecsd at transbay dot net Reported by: ecsd at ecsd dot com Summary: libtool adds tag "yes" that it cannot later understand Status: Open Type: Bug Package: PHP options/info functions Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 5.6.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Nobody's bothered to address this issue. To get around it in the field, one hacks "configure", finding all settings LIBTOOL= and replaces it with LIBTOOL=/usr/local/bin/libtool (at least three instances.) This worked for earlier versions of PHP. For 5.6.3 it partially finesses the LIBTOOL issue, giving complaints which don't indicate an inability to proceed with the make. So this is what to do in lieu of PHP ever fixing or acknowledging this issue.

This has been an issue with PHP for a long time. The version of libtool bundled into the PHP make system is an older version than the one available on my system. In the past I have tried to force PHP install to use the system's version of libtool without success. FreeBSD is version 8.0 but the version never mattered. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68592&edit=1
