OS X 10.4 Compile failures due to libtool
Many different projects (Redland, svn, and wxWindows included) have seen cases where users have attempted to compile, and seen the errors:
/usr/bin/libtool: for architecture: cputype (16777234) cpusubtype (0) file: -lSystem is not an object file (not allowed in a library)
or similar, posted to the mailing lists of these projects.
Only one place that I’ve been able to find so far (and not easily!) has the answer:
This is the typical error you get when you do an upgrade install of
Panther -> Tiger but you don’t install the Tiger Developer Tools
(Xcode 2.0). Don’t do that (Do upgrade your dev tools)
(From darwinports mailing list.)
Thank you ssen! Now, anyone else who has seen this will hopefully be able to read this post for now and into the future.
Ran into this attempting to compile gpsd.
