The
kpsereadlink.test
script checks that the compiledkpsereadlink
correctly finds that.libs/libkpathsea.lai
is not a symlink and that.libs/libkpathsea.la
is a symlink.However this assumption is broken when using slibtool instead of GNU libtool which creates
libpathsea.lai
as a symlink.A more robust test that works with both GNU libtool and slibtool would be to create a file and symlink to test against rather than to depend on GNU libtool internals.
