New in 1.9d: 2004-??-??; CVS version 1.9c, Libtool team:
|
2004-09-03 21:02:33 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* If non-pic objects were not compiled, and libtool is called in link mode,
|
|
|
|
|
|
libtool no longer silently creates an empty archive, but rather falls
|
|
|
|
|
|
back to pic objects.
|
2004-09-06 01:35:16 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* When compiling C glue code with $LTCC, libtool now saves the setting of
|
|
|
|
|
|
$compiler_flags from the C tag, and passes those flags to $LTCC.
|
2004-09-03 21:02:33 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* libtool uses automake's $(mkdir_p), and can support `make -j' on
|
|
|
|
|
|
multi-processor hosts if automake discovered a multithreadable mkdir. If
|
|
|
|
|
|
it still doesn't work for you, install GNU mkdir (in GNU coreutils).
|
* libltdl/slist.c, libltdl/slist.h: Merge in changes from latest
upstream. Mostly comments, formal item boxing, a sort function,
and const madness reduction.
(slist_new): Removed.
(slist_box, slist_unbox, slist_sort): New.
(SListCompare, SListCallback): Swapped!
(slist_remove, slist_find): Change order of parameters for
orthogonality with slist_foreach. Changed all callers.
* libltdl/lt_dlloader.c (loader_cmp): Renamed to...
(loader_callback): ...this. Return boxed item.
(lt_dlloader_remove): Adjust to new loader_callback semantics;
unbox each removed item before returning.
Remove unused variable.
Remove const from name parameter, since the slist API cannot
guarantee userdata const-ancy for its callback functions.
(lt_dlloader_find): Adjust to new loader_callback semantics; need
to return the contents of the boxed item.
Remove const from name parameter, since the slist API cannot
guarantee userdata const-ancy for its callback functions.
* libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_dlloader_find, lt_dlloader_remove):
Adjust to new constless footprint.
* libltdl/ltdl.c (ltdl_exit): The global `loaders' list is changed
variable `loader' is invalidated. Since some loaders may be
resident modules that cannot be unloaded (though we have none
yet), we must save each `next' address before calling
`lt_dlloader_remove'.
* NEWS: Updated.
* THANKS: Added Ralf.
2004-09-02 20:55:32 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Return type, and name parameter of lt_dlloader_remove are no longer
|
|
|
|
|
|
`const'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Name parameter of lt_dlloader_find is no longer 'const'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The API for the slist ADT has been updated: slist_new has been replaced
|
|
|
|
|
|
by slist_box; slist_unbox and slist_sort are new; the footprint of
|
|
|
|
|
|
slist_remove and slist_fnid have changed; SListCallback and SListCompare
|
|
|
|
|
|
types have been exchanged. See libltdl/slist.c for documentation.
|
2004-09-01 09:22:26 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* libltdl is C89 compatible again. lt_dlsymbol type removed, and lt_dlsymlist
|
|
|
|
|
|
structure changed to avoid using C99 flexible arrays.
|
2004-09-11 08:50:27 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Improved support for linux-gnu/ia64.
|
2004-09-02 21:27:24 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Fixed some memory leaks in libltdl.

|
New in 1.9b: 2004-08-29; CVS version 1.5a, Libtool team:
|
2004-02-07 01:23:40 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* The /^_?LT_[A-Z_]+$/ namespace is now reserved for Libtool's own macros.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have any shell variables in this namespace they will need to be
|
|
|
|
|
|
renamed. If you have any macros in this namespace please rename them to
|
|
|
|
|
|
prevent any possible future clash with libtool supplied macros.
|
2004-02-06 21:58:06 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New LT_PREREQ macro for specifying minimum libtool requirement.
|
Sweeping changes to the user interface to libtool from
`configure.ac' to be more like AC_INIT and accept a space
delimited list of options. Instead of calling `AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN;
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL', we now recommend `LT_INIT([dlopen])':
* m4/libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, _AC_PROG_LIBTOOL)
(AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Removed. Added AU_DEFUNs.
(LT_INIT): Replace with an Autoconf like interface which accepts a
version number as a minimum required libtool release at configure
time.
* m4/ltoptions.m4: New file inspired by automake/m4/amoptions.m4,
which additionally flags an error if the configuring libtool
macros are not new enough according to LT_INIT.
(LT_OPTION_DEFINE): New macro to declare option handlers.
(dlopen, win32-dll, shared, disable-shared, static)
(disable-static, fast-install, disable-fast-install, pic-only)
(no-pic): Newly LT_OPTION_DEFINEd option handlers that use...
(_LT_ENABLE_SHARED, _LT_ENABLE_STATIC, _LT_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL)
(_LT_WITH_PIC, _LT_WIN32_DLL): New macros to handle
LT_LIBTOOL_INIT options...
* m4/libtool.m4 (AC_ENABLE_SHARED, AC_ENABLE_STATIC)
(AC_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL, AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL):
...to replace these user interface macros, now defined as
AU_DEFUNs.
(AC_DISABLE_SHARED, AC_DISABLE_STATIC, AC_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL):
Removed. No longer required with LT_INIT_LIBTOOL interface.
Added AU_DEFUNs.
(AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_DISABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC)
(AM_DISABLE_STATIC): Changed AU_DEFUNs to match new interface.
(_LT_SETUP): Internal to LT_INIT, replaces AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP.
* m4/lt~obsolete.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, _AC_PROG_LIBTOOL)
(_LT_PROG_LTMAIN): More AC_DEFUNs that have been retracted.
* configure.ac: Use new interface.
* doc/libtool.texi: Document new interface.
* NEWS: Updated.
2004-02-22 19:13:45 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New LT_INIT interface replaces AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, AC_ENABLE_SHARED,
|
|
|
|
|
|
AC_DISABLE_SHARED, AC_ENABLE_STATIC, AC_DISABLE_STATIC,
|
|
|
|
|
|
AC_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL, AC_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL, AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN,
|
|
|
|
|
|
AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL and AC_LIBTOOL_PIC_MODE. Use autoupdate to modernise
|
|
|
|
|
|
your configure.ac files after installing this release.
|
Further sweeping changes to the user interface to libtool from
`configure.ac' to allow users to better control the list of
supported languages. Three LT_INIT options 'no-lang', 'all-lang'
and 'auto-lang' (the default) control the initial list and others
may be added with LT_LANG.
* m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CONFIG): Renamed AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG to _LT_CONFIG
which is more consistent with our own namespace and gets us further out
of Autoconf's.
(_LT_LIBTOOL_TAGS): Output available_tags variable based entirely
on the value of _LT_TAGS.
(_LT_COPYING): Call _LT_LIBTOOL_TAGS to output available tags,
always append tag configuration if the tag is available.
(LT_LANG): New macro to enable support for a language that accepts
tag names (eg. "CXX") or human language names (eg. "C++").
(_LT_LANG): Internal support macro for above that appends the
tag to _LT_TAGS and calls the appropriate config macro.
(LT_INIT): Ensure that LT_LANG is not called before LT_INIT.
(AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS): Removed, call LT_LANG for each language now.
(_LT_AC_TAG_CHECK): Removed, _LT_LANG handles duplicate calls.
(_LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG): Macro to set initial language support
based on options passed to LT_INIT.
(_LT_SETUP): Call _LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG.
(_LT_AC_TAG_CONFIG): Removed, handled by _LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG.
(_LT_AC_LANG_CXX, _LT_AC_LANG_F77, _LT_AC_LANG_GCJ): Removed,
automatic language support inclusion now handled by
_LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG.
(AC_LIBTOOL_CXX): Obsolete macro, update to LT_LANG(C++).
(AC_LIBTOOL_F77): Obsolete macro, update to LT_LANG(Fortran 77).
(AC_LIBTOOL_GCJ): Obsolete macro, update to LT_LANG(Java).
(AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_C_CONFIG_: Removed.
(_LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_C_CONFIG, call
_LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
(_LT_SETUP): Replace call to AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_C_CONFIG with call to
new _LT_LANG_C_CONFIG macro.
(AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Removed.
(_LT_AC_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG, call
_LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
(AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_F77_CONFIG): Removed.
(_LT_AC_LANG_F77_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_F77_CONFIG, call
_LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
(AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG): Removed.
(_LT_AC_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG, call
_LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
(AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_RC_CONFIG): Removed.
(_LT_AC_LANG_RC_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_RC_CONFIG, call
_LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
(LT_AC_PROG_GCJ): Renamed to LT_PROG_GCJ.
(LT_AC_PROG_RC): Renamed to LT_PROG_RC.
* m4/ltoptions.m4: Define new 'no-lang', 'auto-lang' and 'all-lang'
options which set the default for _LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG.
* m4/lt~obsolete.m4: Removed AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG, _LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG,
_LT_AC_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG, _LT_AC_LANG_RC_CONFIG; all of which are no
long referenced in any way.
* configure.ac: Enable all languages.
* tests/cdemo/configure.ac, tests/demo/configure,ac,
tests/depdemo/configure.ac, tests/f77demo/configure.ac,
tests/mdemo/configure.ac, tests/pdemo/configure,ac,
tests/tagdemo/configure.ac: Remove calls to AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS,
the default 'auto-lang' mode now does the right thing.
* doc/libtool.texi (The LT_INIT macro): Add documentation for
new LT_INIT options and the LT_LANG macro, replacing the old
documentation of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS which is no more.
* NEWS: Updated.
2004-03-22 00:05:28 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New LT_LANG interface to enable libtool support for a specific language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Language support is now only included if your configure.ac enables it,
|
|
|
|
|
|
either through a call to AC_PROG_CXX etc. or LT_LANG.
|
2004-02-07 01:23:40 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* The libtool script will complain if it was built from mismatched ltmain.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
and libtool m4 macro versions.
|
2004-01-07 03:58:01 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Like automake, libtoolize no longer installs config.guess and config.sub by
|
|
|
|
|
|
default. Use new --install option to get the old behaviour.
|
2004-03-06 01:34:25 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* libtoolize no longer supports the --ltdl-tar option.
|
2003-10-21 23:03:57 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* libtool script is now created by config.status. Instead of interrogating
|
|
|
|
|
|
`./libtool' from configure.ac after calling AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, use the
|
|
|
|
|
|
variable names directly.
|
2003-11-27 21:32:33 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* libltdl is no longer a self-contained package, and shares configury with
|
|
|
|
|
|
the top level directory now.
|
2003-10-08 00:32:58 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Shared objects (.lo) are no longer created when `-static' is passed in
|
|
|
|
|
|
compile mode.
|
2003-10-08 00:48:23 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New compile mode option `-shared' prevents creation of static objects (.o).
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New link mode option `-shared' creates only shared libraries at link time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* If you configure libtool with --disable-shared (or if libtool does not
|
|
|
|
|
|
support shared libraries on your platform) trying to build a library using
|
|
|
|
|
|
`-shared' is a fatal error.
|
2004-08-30 00:05:34 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New link mode option `-weak' tells libtool when not to propogate dependency
|
|
|
|
|
|
libraries from dlpreopened modules.
|
2004-06-16 23:08:28 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* libtoolize installs libtool.m4, (ltdl.m4 if used,) and various supporting
|
|
|
|
|
|
m4 definitions to AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR.
|
2003-10-05 22:50:14 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Mode inferrence removed, shorthand for choosing modes added.
|
2003-10-05 23:27:34 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Specifying -allow-undefined is now an error.
|
2003-10-12 00:51:46 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Speed up max_cmd_len check.
|
This pervasive changeset makes two intertwined deep changes to the
operation of libtool (neither would work alone). First, there is
a new feature that allows libraries to preopen modules. This
entails a backwards incompatible change to the libltdl API for
separating out the preloaded symbol lists by owner. Second, in
the tradition of "eating our own dogfood", libltdl now preloads
its own dlloaders. The internal API for dlloaders has also had to
change in a backwards incompatible way in support of the new
library preloading feature. If you don't use preloaded libraries,
you needn't change your project sources, though you will need to
recompile against the new libltdl. The API changes are mostly
confined to dlloaders, so you probably needn't worry about those
(unless you have written a custom loader that you want libltdl to
use):
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add libltdl/loaders/Makefile.
* libltdl/configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add loaders/Makefile.
* libltdl/loaders: New directory for module loaders, to simplify
Makefile rules, and to give the loaders themselves names that are
unique in the first few characters.
* libtoolize.in (func_copy_all_files): Copy recursively to pick up
the loaders directory contents.
* libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am: New file. Move module building
rules to here...
* libltdl/Makefile.am: ...from here.
(VERSION_INFO): Bumped version info to signify interface changes.
(libltdl_la_CPPFLAGS, libltdlc_la_CPPFLAGS): Set LTDLOPEN
appropriately for each library.
* libltdl/loader-dld_link.c, libltdl/loader-dlopen.c,
libltdl/loader-dyld.c, libltdl/loader-load_add_on.c,
libltdl/loader-loadlibrary.c libltdl/loader-preopen.c,
libltdl/loader-shl_load.c: Moved from here...
* libltdl/loaders/dld_link.c, libltdl/loaders/dlopen.c,
libltdl/loaders/dyld.c, libltdl/loaders/load_add_on.c,
libltdl/loaders/loadlibrary.c libltdl/loaders/preopen.c,
libltdl/loaders/shl_load.c: ...to here.
(get_vtable): New entry function for each.
* libltdl/loaders/preopen.c (lt_dlsymlists_t): Replaced by...
(symlist_chain): ...a new structure which maps lists of preloaded
symbols from the object that loads them.
(lt_dlpreload_open): New function to automatically open all
preloaded modules belonging to a named object (ORIGINATOR).
* libltdl/lt__alloc.c (lt__zalloc): New function to return a block
of zeroed out new memory.
* libltdl/lt__alloc.h (lt__zalloc): Prototype it.
* libltdl/lt__private.h (lt__alloc_die_callback): Add missing
prototype.
(lt__error_strings): Make this opaque to callers.
* libltdl/lt_error.c (lt__error_strings): Move the implementation
to here.
* libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_user_dlloader): Add extra fields to
make originator focused preloading possible. *BREAKS BACKWARDS
COMPATIBILITY*
(lt_dlloader_add): Take advantage of new fields to simplify
paramater list.
* libltdl/lt_system.h (LT_STR): New ANSI stringification macro.
(LT_CONC): Fix it to work from within macros.
* libltdl/ltdl.c (loader_init, loader_init_callback): Simplify
dlloader loading.
(get_vtable, preloaded_symbols): Point these at the preopen.c
symbols to bootstrap the loader chain.
(lt_dlinit): Load the preopen dlloader manually, and then use it
to load any other preloaded dlloaders.
(lt_dlloader_add): Simplify parameter list. Populate new
fields. Chain new loaders according to priority field.
* libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlsymlist): Add a new originator field.
(lt_dlpreload_callback_func): Type of a callback for automatic
lt_dlpreload_open loading.
(LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): Adjust to hook into preloaded

* tests/demo/dlmain.c (main): Use mangled preloaded_symbols symbol.
* tests/pdemo/longer_file_name_dlmain.c (main): Ditto.
* ltmain.in: Don't spew spurious warnings when dlopening and
dlpreopening modules.
(func_generate_dlsyms): Factored out from multiple copies in the
rest of the code. Generate originator keyed symbol lists.
(func_extract_archives): Also factored. Extract the contents of
convenience archives for linking with dependent libraries when
--whole-archive is not available.
[darwin]: Don't try to link $old_library unless it exists, and
$lib is a bundle.
* m4/ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_DLLIB): Check for all possible dynamic
loading libraries/apis rather that stopping when an acceptable one
is discovered.
(LT_DLLOADERS): New variable for holding dlloaders that can be
preloaded.
* doc/libtool.texi: Document interface changes.
* NEWS: Updated.
2004-07-15 20:14:48 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* libltdl can now preopen modules from within a library, and libtool will
|
|
|
|
|
|
accept -dlpreopen options when linking either a shared library or a
|
|
|
|
|
|
convenience library.
|
2003-11-19 06:39:39 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New function in libltdl: lt_dlhandle_find provides access to module handles
|
|
|
|
|
|
by module name.

2004-03-24 22:23:18 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* libltdl no longer loads shared libraries with global symbol resolution,
|
|
|
|
|
|
this caused problems when the symbols were intended to be overriden further
|

|
up the stack; it is also not recommended practice.
|
2004-07-15 20:37:15 +08:00
|

|
* New function in libltdl: lt_dlhandle_first, primes handle iterations (using
|
|

|
lt_dlhandle_next) to filter by module interface.
|
2004-04-23 06:08:19 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* libltdl no longer tries to support multi-threaded programming with
|
|
|

|
lt_dlmutex_register(), which was unusable with POSIX threads anyway.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The symbols are deprecated but exported for backwards compatibility.

Keywords:
There was no clean separation of abstraction layers in libltdl.
The first step in fixing this is to factor out the memory
management abstraction, making a start on removing promiscuity
from the underlying portability layer:
* doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface): Remove lt_dlmalloc,
lt_dlrealloc and lt_dlfree references. The memory management
layer used by libltdl is now private.
* libltdl/lt_system.h: New installed header for system portability
abstraction.
* libltdl/ltdl.h: Use it.
* libltdl/lt__alloc.c, libltdl/lt__alloc.h: New module above
system portability layer to abstract ltdl's memory management.
* libltdl/ltdl.c: Use lt__alloc.h.
(closedir): Use free.
(opendir): Use malloc/free.
(lt__xalloc_die_callback): Report memory failures through
lt_dlerror.
(lt_dlinit): Use it to initialise memory management.
(LT_DLMALLOC, LT_DLREALLOC, LT_DLFREE, LT_EMALLOC, LT_EREALLOC)
(rpl_strdup, rpl_realloc, lt_estrdup, lt_emalloc, lt_erealloc):
Removed in favour of...
(lt__strdup, lt__memdup, MALLOC, REALLOC, FREE): ...these calls
from libltdl/lt__alloc.h. Changed all callers.
(rpl_argz_append, rpl_argz_create_sep, rpl_argz_insert): As part
of the portability layer, these functions no longer use libltdl
memory management API.
(free_vars): Factored out.
(LT_DLMEM_REASSIGN): While redoing memory handling, renamed...
* libltdl/lt__alloc.h (MEMREASSIGN): ...to this.
* libltdl/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Let automake track
dependencies automatically.
(pkgincludedir): Override from parent package's setting.
(pkginclude_HEADERS): Install lt_system.h.
(libltdl_la_SOURCES): Add new files.
* NEWS: Updated.

* tests/depdemo*: new tests for depdemo
* ltconfig.in: added hardcode_into_libs (whether library paths
should be hardcoded into the libraries),
it currently defaults to 'no'
* ltmain.in: new internal 'relink' mode to relink libraries
on platforms with hardcode_into_libs=yes, save command line
arguments in libtool_args, accept relative -L directories,
ignore -lm on BeOS and Cygwin, always ignore -lc,
handle -l, -L and .la arguments later, always make the library
installation directory (-rpath) absolute, in relink mode don't
delete the not-relinked library and exit immediately after relinking,
try to find already-installed libtool libraries that were specified
using -l, support hardcoding of library paths into libraries too,
export shlibpath before linking libraries, and a lot of other
big changes that I don't want to describe here... please read
the source.
* merged Gary's Win32 code from the ILD branch:
* NEWS: Win32 DLLs are now supported
* TODO: removed .a library namespace clash for win32. It is
now resolved.
* ltconfig.in (cygwin, library_names_spec): removed $libname.a.
Creating a dll with libtool no longer creates an import library.
* ltconfig.in (extract_expsyms_cmds): Create $objdir if it does
not exist -- i.e. we need to generate import an import library
in a directory which has no libs of its own.
* doc/libtool.texi (old_archive_from_expsyms_cmds,
extract_expsyms_cmds): documented these new variables.
* ltconfig.in (extract_expsyms_cmds): New variable. Commands to
extract the exported symbol list from a dll.
(old_archive_from_expsyms_cmds): New variable. Commands to build
an old archive from the extracted expsyms list.
* ltmain.in: run the cmds in extract_expsyms_cmds and
old_archive_from_expsyms_cmds as necessary.
* ltconfig.in (cygwin, old_archive_from_new_cmds): no longer
required.
* ltconfig.in (cygwin, shlibpath_overrides_runpath): I'm not even
sure whether win32 honours the runpath at all when searching for
a dll to load! Anyway, when set to yes this prevents a gratuitous
warning.
* ltmain.in (deplib): The cygwin environment doesn't actually have
-lm, and although the linker fakes having one, specifiying it to
libtool will break ILD, so we ignore it when generating
dependencies.
1999-03-19 05:57:08 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Complete inter-library dependencies support. It's now possible
|
|
|
|
|
|
to link libtool libraries against other libtool libraries.
|
1999-04-07 18:55:44 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Libtool is able to find already-installed libtool libraries,
|
|
|

|
|
even if they were moved out of their installation directory.
|
1999-05-23 02:04:32 +08:00

* NEWS: mention -no-fast-install, rename dummy to force
* doc/PLATFORMS: 1.3b passes all tests on GNU/Linux,
FreeBSD (2.2.6 and 3.1)
* doc/libtool.texi: it's possible to link libtool libraries
using -L and -l, better documentation of uninstall and clean mode,
rename dummy to force, documented -no-fast-install,
AC_LIBLTDL_* must be called before AC_PROG_LIBTOOL,
documented hardcode_into_libs and striplib/old_striplib,
* ltconfig.in: search for strip program, added hardcode_into_libs
and striplib/old_striplib variables, set strip commands for GNU strip,
on FreeBSD >= 3.2 set hardcode_into_libs to yes,
fast-install mode doesn't work if hardcode_into_libs = yes
* ltmain.in: reimplemented hardcoding into libraries:
new relink mode, preserve all libtool args, relink libraries
when installing if necessary
added -no-fast-install flag, removed unnecessary `dlname'
initialization, use striplib/old_striplib for stripping libraries,
dlname is always soname or in library_names so we don't need
to handle different file names
1999-06-30 01:37:06 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New "-no-fast-install" flag to selectively disable fast-install mode.

* Bugfixes

* merged my inter-library dependencies code from the ILD branch:
* NEWS: inter-library dependencies are now supported
* configure.in: add the depdemo subdirectory
* depdemo/*: new demo to demonstrate inter-library dependencies
* tests/depdemo*: new tests for depdemo
* ltconfig.in: added hardcode_into_libs (whether library paths
should be hardcoded into the libraries),
it currently defaults to 'no'
* ltmain.in: new internal 'relink' mode to relink libraries
on platforms with hardcode_into_libs=yes, save command line
arguments in libtool_args, accept relative -L directories,
ignore -lm on BeOS and Cygwin, always ignore -lc,
handle -l, -L and .la arguments later, always make the library
installation directory (-rpath) absolute, in relink mode don't
delete the not-relinked library and exit immediately after relinking,
try to find already-installed libtool libraries that were specified
using -l, support hardcoding of library paths into libraries too,
export shlibpath before linking libraries, and a lot of other
big changes that I don't want to describe here... please read
the source.
* merged Gary's Win32 code from the ILD branch:
* NEWS: Win32 DLLs are now supported
* TODO: removed .a library namespace clash for win32. It is
now resolved.
* ltconfig.in (cygwin, library_names_spec): removed $libname.a.
Creating a dll with libtool no longer creates an import library.
* ltconfig.in (extract_expsyms_cmds): Create $objdir if it does
not exist -- i.e. we need to generate import an import library
in a directory which has no libs of its own.
* doc/libtool.texi (old_archive_from_expsyms_cmds,
extract_expsyms_cmds): documented these new variables.

extract the exported symbol list from a dll.
(old_archive_from_expsyms_cmds): New variable. Commands to build
an old archive from the extracted expsyms list.
* ltmain.in: run the cmds in extract_expsyms_cmds and
old_archive_from_expsyms_cmds as necessary.
* ltconfig.in (cygwin, old_archive_from_new_cmds): no longer
required.
* ltconfig.in (cygwin, shlibpath_overrides_runpath): I'm not even
sure whether win32 honours the runpath at all when searching for
a dll to load! Anyway, when set to yes this prevents a gratuitous
warning.
* ltmain.in (deplib): The cygwin environment doesn't actually have
-lm, and although the linker fakes having one, specifiying it to
libtool will break ILD, so we ignore it when generating
dependencies.

New in 1.2f: 1999-03-15; CVS version 1.2e, Libtool team:
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* libtool will correctly link uninstalled libraries into programs
|
|
|
|
|
|
and prefer uninstalled libraries to installed ones
|
1999-03-14 07:09:57 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Library paths that are in the system default run-time search path
|

|
|
|
are no longer hardcoded into executables.
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New fast installation mode, which links the final executable
|
|
|
|
|
|
in order to avoid relinking during installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programs in the build-tree are relinked when executed.
|
1999-03-11 01:23:28 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New AC_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL macro to set the default for
|
|
|
|
|
|
the fast-install mode to disabled
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New -export-symbols-regex flag, to export symbols selectively by
|
|
|
|
|
|
a regular expression
|
1999-03-11 01:23:28 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Support -R for specifying run-time path of programs and library dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New -avoid-version option to avoid versioning for libraries
|
|
|
|
|
|
* libtool module names no longer need to have a "lib" prefix
|
|
|
|
|
|
(requires automake 1.4).
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New -thread-safe flag, to build thread-safe libraries
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Major improvements in libltdl: API documentation, installable version,
|
|
|
|
|
|
support for module search paths, support for lt_dlopen(0),
|
|
|
|
|
|
can be embedded into packages as a tar file (libltdl.tar.gz),
|
|
|
|
|
|
dynamic buffer allocation and buffer overflow checks,
|
|
|
|
|
|
new macro LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS() which must be used in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
main program, dynamic memory allocation functions are user-defineable
|
1999-03-11 01:23:28 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE and AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE macros, to select
|
|
|
|
|
|
convenience and/or installable versions of libltdl.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* libltdl is now built and installed unless --disable-ltdl-install
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New "-dlopen self" flag for dlopening the executable itself
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN macro to check for dlopen support,
|
|
|
|
|
|
required if you use -dlopen or -dlpreopen
|
1999-03-11 01:23:28 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* If libtool could not satisfy all dependencies of a module
|
|
|
|
|
|
it will only build a static version of it
|
|
|
|
|
|
* dld_preloaded_symbols was renamed to lt_preloaded_symbols
|
1999-01-02 04:01:09 +08:00

|
|
BSD/OS 4.x and NetBSD
|
1999-03-11 01:23:28 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* In order for libtool to attempt to link a shared library (dll) on win32
|
|
|
|
|
|
platforms, you must pass the -no-undefined flag to libtool in link mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The path to GNU ld now works on cygwin-b18 to cygwin-b20.2 at least.
|

1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|

New in 1.2d: 1998-12-16; CVS version 1.2c, Libtool team:
|
1998-11-20 02:01:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* libtool will correctly link already-installed libraries into programs.
|
1998-11-18 15:29:36 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New -module flag, to create loadable modules.
|
1998-12-16 13:15:24 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New libltdl, a small library for portable dlopening of modules.
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
It is still undocumented, but you can already find some examples in:
|
1998-12-16 13:15:24 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New mdemo directory, with tests of -module and dlopening examples.
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
Be aware that libltdl is only known to work on a few platforms such as
|
2001-01-08 09:52:12 +08:00
|
|
|
|
GNU/Linux and Solaris2. Some mdemo tests are known to FAIL on several
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
other platforms; please ignore these failures by now (or work to fix
|
|
|
|
|
|
them :-).
|
1998-11-12 05:55:49 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Inter-library dependencies patch finally integrated, but there's
|
2001-01-08 09:52:12 +08:00
|
|
|
|
still much porting to do. See PORTING for details (some plans for the
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
future in mail/deplibs in the CVS tree).
|
1998-11-12 23:59:10 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New option -export-symbols to control symbol exporting when possible.
|
1998-11-16 16:10:45 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Fixed -export-dynamic problem with C++ programs in egcs 1.1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New dlpreopen structure.
|
1998-11-12 05:55:49 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* libtool now supports `-c -o' and subdirectories in sources and
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
target object names even in platforms whose compilers do not support
|
|
|
|
|
|
this. In this case, file locking occurs to avoid problems with
|
|
|
|
|
|
parallel builds.
|
1998-11-12 05:55:49 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New `echo' variant that should fix most problems with long command
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
lines and broken printf programs.
|
1998-12-16 13:15:24 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Support for DG/UX, UnixWare 7.x and FreeBSD 3.0, and improved
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
support for Microsoft Windows
|
1998-11-12 05:55:49 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Various bugfixes
|
|
|
|
|
|
* We now have anonymous CVS access to GNU libtool. CVSROOT is
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.gnu.org:/gd/gnu/anoncvsroot. The password

|
|
* Alexandre Oliva, Thomas Tanner and Gary V. Vaughan have taken over
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
the maintenance of libtool.
|
1998-08-20 23:48:13 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Arguments to ltconfig have been changed to allow creation of a
|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
libtool C program, totally unusable as of this release.

|
1999-03-08 02:32:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
If you think you can do the job, send mail to bug-libtool@gnu.org.
|
1998-07-01 16:12:49 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
* Bug fixes.
|
1998-04-20 03:29:28 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* ltconfig accepts an `--output' option to specify the name of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
generated libtool.
|
1998-04-15 00:29:20 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New `--debug' flag to turn on shell script tracing for libtool,
|
|
|
|
|
|
libtoolize, and ltconfig.
|
1998-04-20 03:29:28 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Added `libtool --config' to print out all configuration variables.
|
1998-04-15 00:29:20 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Support for *-*-hpux11*.

|
New in 1.2 - 1998-03-20, Gordon Matzigkeit:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Minor bug fixes to provide a stable public release.
|
2002-03-03 11:19:55 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Libtool no longer cseses Solaris printf to barf due to silly
|
1998-03-20 15:58:42 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2110-byte static buffers.

|
|
|
|
* Bug fixes.
|
1998-03-06 00:22:50 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* http://www.profitpress.com/libtool/ is libtool's homepage.
|
1998-03-09 13:34:02 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' supports turning shared or static libraries off
|
|
|
|
|
|
with the `--enable-shared=PKGS' and `--enable-static=PKGS' configure
|
1998-03-06 00:22:50 +08:00
|
|
|
|
flags. See (libtool)AM_PROG_LIBTOOL.
|
1998-03-09 13:34:02 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Use the `AM_DISABLE_SHARED' or `AM_DISABLE_STATIC' macros if you
|
|
|
|
|
|
wish to modify the default behaviour of `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' for your
|
|
|
|
|
|
package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New rules for `AM_PROG_LD' to use gcc's `-print-prog-name' flag in
|
|
|
|
|
|
order to find ld, if possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Suppress duplicate compiler output during `compile' mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Deleted `dlname' mode. Dlopen applications should only use the
|
|
|
|
|
|
runtime search method described in (libtool)Finding the dlname.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Experimental support for dynamically loaded modules, even on
|
|
|
|
|
|
static-only platforms, via new `-dlopen' and `-dlpreopen' link
|
|
|
|
|
|
flags.
|
1998-03-06 00:22:50 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* `compile' mode honours the `-static' flag to prevent libtool
|
|
|
|
|
|
from building PIC objects.
|
1998-03-09 13:34:02 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New `execute' mode to support debugging uninstalled libtool
|
|
|
|
|
|
libraries and executables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `-allow-undefined' is now the default. You can use `-no-undefined'
|
|
|
|
|
|
to declare that a shared library is completely self-contained.
|
1998-01-26 03:35:11 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Inter-library dependencies are automatically handled when linking
|
1998-03-09 13:34:02 +08:00
|
|
|
|
against an uninstalled `.la' file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New `-all-static' flag to prevent any dynamic linking. The regular
|
|
|
|
|
|
`-static' flag now just prevents dynamic linking of libtool libraries.
|
1998-02-06 15:36:38 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New `-release' flag to encode release numbers into libtool
|
|
|
|
|
|
libraries. This breaks binary compatibility, but is useful for
|
|
|
|
|
|
libraries whose interfaces change very frequently. See
|
|
|
|
|
|
(libtool)Versioning.
|
1997-09-15 20:31:09 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* The `-rpath' flag can be used to hardcode absolute directories when
|
|
|
|
|
|
linking executables using libtool.
|
1998-03-09 13:34:02 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New robust quoting code to handle any metacharacters passed in
|
1997-08-29 11:09:18 +08:00
|
|
|
|
arguments to libtool commands.
|
1997-11-15 02:04:44 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Full support for broken collect2 on AIX 3. Shared libraries
|
|
|
|
|
|
can now be built with all working versions of GCC on AIX.
|
1998-03-09 13:34:02 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Shell script speed optimizations for old and buggy /bin/sh systems,
|
|
|
|
|
|
such as HP-UX 9 and SunOS 4.1.4.
|
1997-11-15 02:04:44 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Maybe use `_libs' as a temporary libtool directory instead of `.libs'
|
|
|
|
|
|
in order to cope with MS-DOS filenames.
|
1998-03-09 13:34:02 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Portability fixes for Windows NT.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Refuse to create libtool libraries that don't begin with `lib'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This allows us to correctly handle OSes that don't have the `lib'
|
|
|
|
|
|
prefix by default, such as OS/2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for *-*-amigaos*, *-*-os2*, *-*-sysv4.2uw2*, and *-*-uts4*.

|
|
|
|
* Bug fixes.
|
1997-06-19 12:30:26 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Better configuration test to find the system linker. The old test
|
|
|
|
|
|
was failing because people frequently install GNU ld, but don't
|
|
|
|
|
|
necessarily configure GCC to use it.
|
1997-04-02 03:21:43 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Automake support for Libtool now uses the LTLIBRARIES primary. See
|
|

|
|
the Automake documentation for more information.
|
1997-05-25 06:50:52 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Added new `--disable-static' flag to disable building static
|
|
|
|
|
|
libraries on platforms that have shared libs.
|
1997-06-07 05:55:10 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* New `-allow-undefined' link flag to build shared libs that contain
|
1997-06-06 02:00:56 +08:00
|
|
|
|
references to unresolved symbols.
|
1997-06-12 01:13:23 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Removed all support for creating static-only libraries.
|
1997-04-06 02:48:44 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Basic support for dynamically loaded modules: new `-export-dynamic'
|
1997-04-25 01:51:39 +08:00
|
|
|
|
linking flag and corresponding `dlname' mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New `--features' flag to display configured libtool attributes.
|
1997-06-14 05:40:39 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Added support for installing libtool objects, both in absolute and
|
|
|
|
|
|
relative directories.
|
1997-04-02 03:21:43 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Support *-*-linux-gnu* as an alias for *-*-linux*.
|
1997-06-07 05:55:10 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Support for *-*-openbsd* and *-*-freebsd3*.

|
|
|
|
* Bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The libtool demo now uses the libm cos(3) function, to demonstrate
|
|
|
|
|
|
inter-library dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The PLATFORMS file has been moved to doc/platforms.texi.

|
|
|
|
|
|
flag fails.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New test for hardcoding system linkers, to verify that libtool
|
|
|
|
|
|
neither creates incorrect binaries, nor takes unnecessary
|
|
|
|
|
|
precautions while linking against uninstalled shared libraries.
|
1997-04-02 03:04:40 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* For clarity, the demo subdirectory no longer uses ansi2knr, and has

|
|
|
|
|
been rewritten to avoid ANSI-only constructs.

|
and HP-UX.
|
|

New in 0.5:
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
implemented.
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
libfoo.la instead of foo.o and libfoo.a. See the documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

conflict with the current objtype. From Karl Berry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Created new libinfo helper script.
|

|
|

|
|
new LIBINFO files.

|
|
|
* Reimplemented the shared library version scheme. See (libtool)Versioning.
