New in 1.3b: 1999-07-02; CVS version 1.3a, Libtool team:
|
* 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.
* 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
|
|
|
|
* New "-Wc,flag" and "-Xcompiler flag" flags to pass flags
|
|
|
|
|
|
directly to the compiler
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New "-Wl,flag" and "-Xlinker flag" flags to pass flags
|
|
|
|
|
|
directly to the linker
|
* 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.

1999-07-01 22:48:06 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Allow linking shared libraries against static ones

|
|
|

|
1999-04-29 20:53:08 +08:00
|
|
|
|
mistake.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Use libraries from the build tree when running uninstalled
|
2001-01-08 09:52:12 +08:00
|

|
|
|
* 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.
* 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.

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
|
|
|

|
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).

|
|
|
|
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
|
|

* 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.

|
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
|

libraries on platforms that have shared libs.
|
1997-06-07 05:55:10 +08:00
|
|
|
|

|
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.
|

1997-04-25 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*.

New in 0.9 - 1997-02-03, Gordon Matzigkeit:
|
1997-04-02 03:19:30 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|

|
|
|
|
* Bug fixes, and more documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Basic support for other language compilers (C++, Fortran, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
preprocessed assembler).
|
1997-04-02 03:02:08 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Libtool is now more persistent when linking with the `-static'
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
1997-04-02 03:02:08 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Support for *-*-irix5, *-*-irix6*, and *-*-sco3.2v5*.
|
1997-04-02 03:00:38 +08:00
|
|
|

1997-04-02 02:29:23 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Total rewrite of libtool, along with a new model for library building.
|
1997-04-02 02:46:48 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Completely rewritten documentation for the new paradigm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Sane handling of broken system linkers, such as the ones on AIX
|
1997-04-02 02:29:23 +08:00
|
|
|
|
and HP-UX.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* configure mode is now a separate program, `ltconfig'
|
1997-04-02 02:46:48 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* The libinfo helper script has been incorporated into the main
|
|
|
|
|
|
libtool program.
|
1997-04-02 02:29:23 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Automatic mode guessing, based on the command line.
|
1997-04-02 02:57:49 +08:00
|
|
|
|
* Full support for Automake 1.2 (including ansi2knr features).

|
|
through a version file.

Version 0.6 was never released.
|
1997-04-02 02:29:23 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New in 0.5:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Disabled install-progs until next version, when it will be correctly
|
|
|
|
|
|
implemented.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Clearer library versioning documentation. See (libtool)Versioning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Renamed gm_PROG_LIBTOOL to AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Libtool now creates pseudo-objects named foo.lo and pseudo-archives named
|
|
|
|
|
|
libfoo.la instead of foo.o and libfoo.a. See the documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* libtool compile doesn't interfere with user CFLAGS if they don't
|
|
|
|
|
|
conflict with the current objtype. From Karl Berry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Created new libinfo helper script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* libversion.in files are obsolete -- libtool uses libinfo to read the
|
|
|
|
|
|
new LIBINFO files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Libtool is better at finding its config file and helper scripts.

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
`standard' instead of aborting
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added new object type, `t', for tcov(1) support
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for *-*-aix3*, *-*-aix4*, *-*-hpux10*, *-*-osf3*, and *-*-solaris2*

|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added a host argument to configure mode
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed debugging/hyper-optimizing flags conflict (from Karl Berry)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for --no-whole-archive when needed by GNU ld (from Ulrich Drepper)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Implementation of --enable-linktype, --enable-profile, --enable-shared,
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-static in gm_PROG_LIBTOOL macro
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New `libtoolize' program (modeled after GNU gettext's `gettextize') to help

|
|
|
|
|
|
variables listed in (libtool)Porting Libtool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Reimplemented the shared library version scheme. See (libtool)Versioning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Replaced `--config-file' and `--version-file' options with `--confdir'
|
