automake issue in virtuoso: "library has 'libwi_odbc_la' as canonical name (possible typo)"

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

I've commited the latest free version of virtuoso to Debian Science git[1].
Unfortunately automake fails.  I even tried inside build chroot:


/build/virtuoso-opensource-7.2.4.2+dfsg# ./autogen.sh

I searched the web for
   "library has" + "as canonical name (possible typo)"

which basically advised to seek for typos and I even fixed several of
those[2] but either that's not in all cases the solution or it is
something else behind this error.  I admit I'm also a bit suspicious
about adding -static flag to _la libraries.

Any hint what might be wrong here?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
