The reason to use 'libtool --mode=execute' at all is so that you can use gdb. Thus './run gdb ./program' is expanded to: libtool --mode=execute gdb ./program (Same reasoning applies to './run valgrind ./program').

The reason not to use ./libtool is because in libguestfs we replace the top-level ./libtool script with something else for a variety of complicated reasons. The reason to check if libtool exists (running 'libtool --help') is so that the whole thing works if the user didn't install (global) libtool. So I agree that for libvirt it's better to run the toplevel ./libtool program instead. Please see the attached updated patch which changes this, and also doesn't set $PATH (wasn't required), but is otherwise the same. BTW this script is super-useful. For example to run the libguestfs test suite using a local copy of libvirt you just have to do: ../libvirt/run make check Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora now supports 80 OCaml packages (the OPEN alternative to F#) http://cocan.org/getting_started_with_ocaml_on_red_hat_and_fedora
