I always have to do: autoreconf ./configure .... cp /usr/autotool/devel/bin/libtool . make && make install However, the reported version number of this libtool is the same as the one created through configure (autoreconf?) (1.5.6). Is the version distributed with cygwin a patched version? If so, is there an official release of the autotools that include those patches? If so I'd like to try to convince the XFCE developers to upgrade... Finally, (I know, not really the correct list for this): I'm only vaguely familiar with the whole autotools toolchain, and I was wondering if somebody could show me some boiler plate configure.ac/Makefile.am content so that I can forward the XFCE developers a patch to conditionally include '-no-undefined' to the libtool invocation in the XFCE build process...
