libtoox 2.x and echo

[Alberto Simões]

Hi, folks

I had a lot of trouble finding out why libtool resulted on these errors:

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=compile gcc 
-DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"numexp-kernel\" -D_GNU_SOURCE  -I. -I.. -I.. -I. -I.. 
 -Wall -ggdb  -pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 
-I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libxml2   -g -O2 -MT 
element.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/element.Tpo -c -o element.lo element.c
../libtool: line 809: X--tag=CC: command not found
../libtool: line 842: libtool: ignoring unknown tag : command not found
../libtool: line 809: X--mode=compile: command not found
../libtool: line 976: *** Warning: inferring the mode of operation is 
deprecated.: command not found
[...]

After some digging, found out that the libtool script created by 
libtoolize generates

ECHO="echo"

and that in the script, echo is used as ${echo} and not ${ECHO}.


I was running libtool 2.2.2 under linux with latest automake and autoconf.

Cheers
