[gmx-developers] upgrading libtool

[Christoph Junghans]

Hi Roland,

i have played around with libtool a bit before, I think one should do  
it the following way:

$ rm config/ltmain.sh
$ sed -i '1318,$d' acinclude.m4 #remove old libtool m4 macros
$ libtoolize -c
$ aclocal -I config
$ libtoolize -c

But I guess there was a reason why gromacs uses its own libtool.

However  -all-static + libxml2 will lead to some problems,
read the full story here:

Cheers,

Christoph
