libtool compilationg errors (porting bash)

I have been following the guide at
http://www.qnx.com/developer/articles/index.html?article=feb1401
I am at the ‘make’ step and am getting the following error:

[… (checking statements here)]
checking whether ln -s works… yes
loading cache /dev/null within ltconfig
ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use ‘–no-verify’
Try ‘ltconfig --help’ for more information.
configure: error: libtool configure failed
make: *** [config.status] Error 1

libtool is installed (when I type libtool --help, I get a help page). When
I type ‘ltconfig --help’, I am told ‘/bin/sh: ltconfig: not found’. Isn’t
ltconfig part of libtool? If not, where can I get it from? If this isn’t
the problem - please advise.

Thanks!

Are you building this under 6.1 or 6.2?

this is under 6.2
I am back to porting bash (still trying to download the 3rd Party 442Meg
file).
Things are going better, but variables.c wants a vc.h file … which isn’t
on my system.

Here’s the variables.c source:
#if defined (qnx)
#include <sys/vc.h>
#endif

I tried commenting this section out, but when I did, I got link errors later
on:
…/variables.c:295: undefined reference to ‘getnid’
…/variables.c:295: undefined reference to ‘qnx_nidtostr’

Know where I can get the vc.h file?

Yeah - all of the QNX specific stuff in bash is for QNX4. The source on
the 3rd Party disc corrects that.
