Frustrations with libltdl 1.9g

[Bob Friesenhahn]

I am still working to get development libtool/libltdl working with my 
package.  I am now working on being able to build libltdl as part of 
the package.  Libtool doesn't seem to include any tests which verify 
that this works, so maybe it just doesn't work.  I have been able to 
build the software so that it detects and uses an installed libltdl.

Libltdl has been initialized so that it resides in 'ltdl'.

I realized that it is necessary to add ltdl/Makefile to 
AC_CONFIG_FILES in configure.ac even though the documentation fails to 
mention this requirement.  Automake then starts reporting the error:

ltdl/Makefile.am:47: INSTALL_LTDL does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
ltdl/Makefile.am:54: CONVENIENCE_LTDL does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL

It is not yet clear to me if I will need to add a SUBDIRS statement to 
Makefile.am.  The documentation does not mention it.

These are the libtool/libltdl lines from my configure.ac:

LT_PREREQ(1.9g)
LTDL_INSTALLABLE([ltdl])
LT_WITH_LTDL([ltdl])
LT_INIT([disable-shared dlopen win32-dll])
LT_LANG(C++)
AC_SUBST([LIBTOOL_DEPS])

What am I doing wrong?
