libtool/mdemo/README

This is mdemo, an example package that uses GNU libtool with an
Automake-generated environment to build two simple modules and 
a program.

It demonstrates how to build both dynamic and static libraries
that can be dlopened. mdemo uses libtool's portable dlopen
wrapper called "libltdl". 
All exported symbols are prefixed with "libname_LTX_" to avoid
symbols conflicts, especially when linking statically.
libltdl will automatically cut the prefix off to get the real name.

1998-11-04 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br> * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: updated and fixed the patches below 1998-11-04 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de> * mdemo/: added new demo to demonstrate building of dlopenend modules tests/Makefile.am, tests/mdemo: added some tests for mdemo 1998-11-04 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk> demo/configure.in: added AC_EXEEXT macro so that the tests can work on cywin32/mingw32 hosts. This requires the current CVS autoconf 1998-11-04 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de> * ltmain.in: New flag -export-symbols; new dlpreopen system * demo/dlmain.c: removed dld_preloaded_symbol_count 1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com> * ltmain.in: On installation, don't get confused if the same name appears more than once in the list of library names. 1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com> * ltconfig.in: Add objext and libext variables. Check for object suffix. Check for mingw32* as well as cygwin32. Use objext when testing compiler. Add support for Visual C++ on cygwin32 when not using gcc. Add objext, libext, and fix_srcfile_path to generated libtool script. ltmain.in: Use .${objext} rather than .o. Use fix_srcfile_path if it is set. Check for .obj as well as for .o, and for .lib as well as for .a. Use .${libext} rather than .a when creating old libraries. * libtoolize.in: Change initial /bin/sh to @SHELL@. * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Add AC_REQUIRE for AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, so that autoconf doesn't get mixed up by the AC_REQUIRE in AC_CHECK_TOOL. 1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com> * ltconfig.in: Look in the right directory for libtool.c in archive_cmds for cygwin32. 1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com> * ltconfig.in: Fix cygwin32 support to avoid using a double extension, to delete the def file, to set version_type to windows, and to include versuffix in the DLL name. * ltmain.in: Add support for a version_type of windows. 1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com> * ltconfig.in: Add cygwin32 support. * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Call AM_SYS_LIBTOOL_CYGWIN32 on a cygwin32 host. Pass DLLTOOL and AS to ltconfig. (AM_SYS_LIBTOOL_CYGWIN32): New macro. 1998-11-04 17:43:29 +08:00
