.la problem

Hello, I am trying to compile the last version of gambas and I get this error, that I think it's related to the libtool slay thing because before that I had no problem.

bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -pipe -Wall -fno-exceptions -Wno-unused-value -g -Os -fno-omit-frame-pointer    -o gb.pdf.la -rpath /usr/local/lib/gambas2 -module -no-undefined     main.lo CPdfDocument.lo -lpoppler
grep: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libfontconfig.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libfontconfig.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make: *** [gb.pdf.la] Error 1

Can someone, please, tell me where to look for a solution or what I have to do to find it myself.

Thanks,

Christian

Re: .la problem

this has been discussed to death but here goes again:

* make sure your system is up2date
* this should give you the problematic .la:

$ grep libfontconfig.la /usr/lib/*.la
/usr/lib/<file>.la: blah bla
$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/<file>.la

* now that you know which package has not been properly slain off libtool archives file a bug after doing some research about a probable necessity for it being there or libtool-slay that package if you made it on your own.

Details: first post here and here

[EDIT]
Gambas compiles fine (synced today with testing enabled).

Re: .la problem

Many thanks. The problematic one was a forgoten lib from an old manual compilation.

Cheers,

Christian.
