The git snapshot of xfce4-sensors-plugin fails to build. This is the appropriate log: Making all in lib make[2]: Entering directory `/var/abs/local/xfce4-sensors-plugin-git/src/xfce4-sensors-plugin-build/lib' /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../include -DNDEBUG -DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS -DG_DISABLE_ASSERT -DG_DISABLE_CHECKS -DPACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -pthread -I/usr/include/xfce4/libxfce4ui-1 -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/include/xfce4 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng14 -pthread -I/usr/include/xfce4/libxfce4panel-1.0 -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/xfce4 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng14 -I/usr/include -pthread -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libpng14 -pthread -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libpng14 -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -MT libxfce4sensors_la-middlelayer.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libxfce4sensors_la-middlelayer.Tpo -c -o libxfce4sensors_la-middlelayer.lo `test -f 'middlelayer.c' || echo './'`middlelayer.c mv -f .deps/libxfce4sensors_la-middlelayer.Tpo .deps/libxfce4sensors_la-middlelayer.Plo mv: cannot stat `.deps/libxfce4sensors_la-middlelayer.Tpo': No such file or directory make[2]: *** [libxfce4sensors_la-middlelayer.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/abs/local/xfce4-sensors-plugin-git/src/xfce4-sensors-plugin-build/lib' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/abs/local/xfce4-sensors-plugin-git/src/xfce4-sensors-plugin-build' make: *** [all] Error 2 The correct file name is .deps/libxfce4sensors_la-middlelayer.Plo instead of .deps/libxfce4sensors_la-middlelayer.Tpo.
it's because of ltmain.sh. copy it from your /usr/share/libtool and it will work. I will have to revert the bad patch for the xfce4-goodies and dev-tools which broke the old functionality of copying the installed ltmain.sh instead of delivering an own version.
works again with AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. Please check current git version, the changes have been committed and pushed a few minutes ago.
...and at least I could successfully test on debian unstable and ubuntu 10.10.
