Description

After the update to libtool 2.4, configure --with-libtool fails with

/bin/sh /opt/gdal/trunk/libtool --mode=compile --tag=CXX g++ -g -O2  -Wall  -DOGR_ENABLED -I/opt/gdal/trunk/port          -DHAVE_CURL -DHAVE_LIBZ -c -o cpl_conv.lo cpl_conv.cpp

It turns out that in GDALmake.opt we have :

LIBTOOL = $(SHELL) $(top_builddir)/libtool

but $(SHELL) is not set and default to /bin/sh, which is not bash on Ubuntu 10.04, but new libtool requires a shell with bachisms.

The solution is to add a SHELL = @SHELL@ so that the variable gets substituated.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

I have tested on various VMs and it seems to do the trick. And, on OpenSolaris clone, the hack indicated in the GDALmake.opt is no longer necessary
