* The master libtool repository is stored in git.

If you are a member of the savannah group for GNU Libtool, a writable

|

git clone <savannah-user>@git.sv.gnu.org:/srv/git/libtool.git

to force git to transparently rewrite all savannah git references to
|
||||
use http.

If you are not a member of the savannah group for GNU Libtool, you can

still fetch a read-only copy with either:
|
||||
|
||||
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/libtool.git
|
||||
|
||||
or using the CVS pserver protocol:
|
||||
|
||||
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@pserver.git.sv.gnu.org:/srv/git/libtool.git \
|
||||
co -d libtool HEAD
|
||||
|
||||
* Before you can build from git, you need to bootstrap. This requires:
|
||||
- Autoconf 2.62 or later
|
||||
- Automake 1.11.1 or later
|
||||
- Help2man 1.29 or later
|
||||
- Xz 4.999.8beta or later (from <http://tukaani.org/xz>)
|
||||
- Texinfo 4.8 or later
|
||||
- Any prerequisites of the above (such as m4, perl, tex)
|
||||
|
||||
Note that these bootstrapping dependencies are much stricter than
|
||||
those required to use a destributed release for your own packages.
|
||||
After installation, GNU Libtool is designed to work either standalone,
|
||||
or optionally with:
|
||||
- Autoconf 2.59 or later
|
||||
- Automake 1.9.6 or later
