Description Del Vento 2021-11-23 19:56:40 CET 
Configuring and compiling with clang v6.0.0-1ubuntu2 (since gcc did not work for LinuxSampler and I did not want to mix and match compilers) fails as below

  CXX      main.o
  CXX      libgigedit_la-Settings.lo
  CXX      libgigedit_la-compat.lo

libtool: link: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool:   error: specify a tag with '--tag'
Makefile:685: recipe for target 'libgigedit.la' failed

Adding --tag=CXX in line 685 of src/gigedit/Makefile did not solve the issue. Switching to gcc v7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04 creates many warnings during compilation but then completes successfully.

That's apparently a libtool error, not a compiler error.

Please try the workaround described here, they are explicitly assigning --tag CC to libtool which has solved the issue for them:

After you changed any automake file, run

make -f Makefile.svn

Then run the usual

./configure
make
