Can't build current libusb srpm? A chain of weird issues with current srpms.

[MBantz]

Rebuilding a bunch of packages, but strangely the current vlc srpm cannot build (just download the current srpm and tried rebuild). The vlc build fails because it cannot find libusb.la that is put in /lib - and when building libusb (v. 1.0.7, simple rebuild, to see how the libusb static libraries is packaged) it fails also! ffmpeg also failed (the spec was so weird it should not be able to compile at all!) but I've updated and fixed this (also, the spec missed a -lot- dependencies to build a lot functionality),

these builds are performed in Zen.

This is an extract of the libusb build log - what on earth is going on?

Do you have %define __libtoolize /bin/true in your spec?

[Texstar]

There are 3 different libtool pacakges in the dropbox folder depending on what program needs what libtool package. I normally use 2.2.6b and use autoreconf -fi which works for most packages and force downgrade when needed.

Thanks - I'll try the 3 versions and set the spec accordingly,

cheers,
