Comment #2 on issue 142 by mloskot: 1.4 snapshot build is broken
http://code.google.com/p/postgis/issues/detail?id=142

This is not related to versions but to incomplete or broken process of  
generating
build scripts.

In the snapshot, libtool script is provided (and without executable mode  
set) which
actually is not needed, but ltmain.sh is necessary. So, this is ltmain.sh  
missing in
the snapshot.

The snapshot (as release package) should include following helper scripts:
config.guess
config.sub
configure
depcomp
install-sh
ltmain.sh
missing

When building PostGIS SVN code, autogen.sh does not call libtoolize which  
is required
to get ltmain.sh script which in turn is used to generate libtool. So,  
users are
forced to call libtoolize manually and it's better to call libtoolize  
--force --copy,
then all files are copied but no symlinks are used.
