Description Bruno Mahe 2011-10-20 20:44:56 CEST

Description of problem:
I am trying to build hadoop 0.20.205 for Mageia and I am getting this issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-128

By searching online about that issue, I noticed a lot of people have experienced it and blame it on their libtool version.
Usually the simplest work around is to edit the generated libtool script and manually add an echo definition, which worked also in this case.
For instance: http://jira.globus.org/browse/RIC-137

This issue does not happened on Fedora 15, which has a libtool-2.4-6 (in case the mageia spec file comes from Fedora)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
latest version of libtool in Mageia1: libtool-2.4-3

How reproducible:
Every build on Mageia 1. It cannot be reproduced on other GNU/Linux distributions such as Fedora 15, latest Ubuntu or CentOS (see http://bigtop01.cloudera.org:8080/job/Bigtop-trunk-matrix/ ).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. git clone git://github.com/apache/bigtop.git
2. Install dependencies listed there: http://incubator.apache.org/bigtop/
3. make hadoop-rpm

Thanks for your bug report.

We don't have a maintainer for libtools, atm, but we have a newer version of libtools in cauldron and expect that to go into Mga 2 stable.

Looks like you have some old libtool files using $echo in the tarball:
$ LC_ALL=C ls -lh $(grep -rl \$echo ./build/hadoop/rpm/BUILD/hadoop-0.20.205.0/)

You should run autoreconf.

Olivier> Marja> Thanks a lot!
This is exactly how I worked around it on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-128
So I guess the ticket can be closed.
