This is GNU Libtool, a generic library support script. Libtool hides
1997-07-24 14:06:16 +08:00
the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable
1997-04-02 03:18:28 +08:00
interface.
1997-04-02 02:29:23 +08:00
To use libtool, add the new generic library building commands to your
Makefile, Makefile.in, or Makefile.am. See the documentation for
details.
Libtool supports building static libraries on all platforms.
Shared library support has been implemented for these platforms:

1998-05-31 03:18:08 +08:00
NOTE: Some HP-UX sed programs are horribly broken, and cannot handle
libtool's requirements, so users may report unusual problems. There
is no workaround except to install a working sed (such as GNU sed) on
these systems.
1998-02-06 15:36:38 +08:00
NOTE: Any earlier DG/UX system with ELF executables, such as R3.10 or
R4.10, is also likely to work, but hasn't been explicitly tested.

If you have any suggestions or bug reports, or you wish to port
libtool to a new platform, please send electronic mail to the libtool
