[Bug 380367] [NEW] ../libtool: line 835: X--tag=CXX: command not found -- and similar messages at compile

[Imre Péntek]

Public bug reported:

okay, steps to reproduce:
imi at nn1:~$ dpkg -S `which kdevelop`
kdevelop: /usr/bin/kdevelop
imi at nn1:~$ lsb_release -cs
jaunty
imi at nn1:~$ 
open kdevelop, file->close all/projects->close project if needed.
project->new project
create a new project using the c++->simple hello world program setting
when project is created build->build project
you will be offered to run automake&friends for you. click run them (accept that offer)
you will get tons of error messages in the messages tab (I will attach the whole text, and a screenshot)

the user-level workaround is to open that ../libtool file located at <project home>/debug/libtool
and add a line according to this patch:
--- libtool.original    2009-05-25 22:04:52.000000000 +0200
+++ libtool     2009-05-25 22:05:44.000000000 +0200
@@ -154,6 +154,8 @@
 
 # An echo program that does not interpret backslashes.
 ECHO="echo"
+#well this $ECHO is referred to as $echo everywhere in this file. So:
+echo="$ECHO"
 
 # Used to examine libraries when file_magic_cmd begins with "file".
 MAGIC_CMD=file

after adding that line, everything works correctly. thank you.
