Not the makefile, I think: see below.

anyonehere had any clues to my troubles.I'm following the below guide to 
compile GRASS and related librariesfrom scratch on Windows using
MinGW:http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/grass/BuildFromSource.htmlI've 
gotten up to compiling GDAL, but it doesn't link... saying:-

-----------------

The specific problem is that the libtools builder file is broken in 1.5.*, 
and at line 5658 or thereabouts in ltmain.sh, you see an

$ECHO "$obj" >> $output

which needs an inserted 

$ECHO "$obj" | ${SED} -e 's/^.*gdal-[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]/\./' >> $output

to edit out the unneeded path name. This was found by inspecting the 
$output file (it is deleted quickly, so you have to grab it while it 
is there), but I'm open to alternative fixes.

----------------

When I check for the missing
file,/usr/local/src/gdal-1.5.1/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/o/.libs/arraylist.o seems 
tobe sitting there with appropriate permissions and all.Looking around, 
alot of the GDAL compilation guides say to configureusing 
"--without-libtool" but that just results in lots of undefinedreferences.
Has any one successfully compiled GDAL 1.5.1 using the above guide?Thanks 
in advance for any help,J
