For 1.0:

1997-04-01 19:02:08 +00:00
* Finish documenting shared library systems. Ugh. I'll need more
primary documentation in order to do this well.

1997-04-01 19:04:40 +00:00
For 1.1:
* Write libtool not to be dependent on the compiler used to configure
it.
* Implement full multi-language support. There are beginnings of this
in the manual (Other Languages).
1997-04-01 19:02:08 +00:00
Sometime in the future (maybe):
1997-04-01 19:00:38 +00:00
1997-04-01 19:04:40 +00:00
* Implement `-static' linking against installed libraries, even when
the OS does not have static system libraries. This would need to be
done by parsing `-L' and `-l', searching for libNAME.a manually, and
adding the full path to it.
1997-04-01 19:00:38 +00:00
* Implement full support for other basic library types (libhello_g,
libhello_p). Make these types configurable. Some thinking will have
to be done about the defaults, and what libhello (standard type)
should be.
1997-04-01 19:04:40 +00:00
Maybe we should just add an autoconf macro and get creative with
program_transform_name, or something. These changes should be
partially driven by the needs of packaging tools, such as RPM and
dpkg.
1997-04-01 19:00:38 +00:00
1997-04-01 19:04:40 +00:00
* Add support for windoze DLL's. Check out Lesstif and Tcl
configuration again.
1997-04-01 18:29:23 +00:00
* What should be done about the difference between -fpic and -fPIC?
1997-04-01 19:02:08 +00:00
Probably nothing.
1997-04-01 18:29:23 +00:00
1997-04-01 19:02:08 +00:00
* GCC docs imply that all rs6000 code is PIC. See if it is really
true of any other processors: at least powerpc, powerpcle.
