test suite, Yay!
From Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>
* ltmain.in: `test -L' is not portable, and infact breaks uninstall
mode on Solaris. Fallback to `test -h' and finally `test -f',
but be careful not to let the failure status cause libtool to
stop.
* demo/configure.in: Revert to the `libtool --features' test.
* Makefile.am (libtool): This needs to rerun configure now that
libtool is generated entirely by AC_PROG_LIBTOOL again.
(ltconfig): Removed.
(ltmain.sh): Is now regenerated when ltmain.in changes.
* libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Now does all of the work for
generating libtool immediately in configure.in, rather than
deferring part of the creation until config.status runs.
* doc/PLATFORMS: GNU/Hurd update
* depdemo: make use of variables
* ltconfig.in: use CC -E when checking for ELF support
on NetBSD (reported by Todd Vierling <tv@pobox.com>),
replace all occurences of 'linkopts' with 'linker_flags'
* ltmain.in: move ltdll.c and impgen.c to ltconfig.in and
only add them to the libtool script if it's necessary
* ltconfig.in: add support for UnixWare 7.X.X
* doc/PLATFORMS: add new platforms
* doc/libtool.texi: document use of noinst_LTLIBRARIES for
convenience libraries
* ltconfig.in: check for freebsdelf3, not just freebsd3.
Set hardcode_into_libs=yes for FreeBSD 3.0 and 3.1
* ltmain.in: enable workaround for freebsdelf3.0
* ltconfig.in: export_dynamic_flag_spec is -rdynamic on BSD/OS
* 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
* README: updated (BeOS support, no longer shared libraries
support for AmigaOS), cleanups, we have now two mailing lists
* REAMDE-alpha: autogen -> bootstrap, we have now two mailing lists
* THANKS: added Xavier Pianet
* doc/PLATFORMS: BeOS works
* doc/libtool.texi: we have now to two mailing lists,
updated -dlopen self documentation, documented libltdl's license,
put each author in a separate line,
inter-library dependencies on uninstalled libtool libraries are
now supported, cleanups and minor corrections
* libltdl/COPYING.LIB: new file
* libltdl/ltdl.[ch]: added special exception to the LGPL license
* libtool.spec: removed, it was outdated
* Makefile.am: removed libtool.spec
* ltmain.in: use TMPDIR when possible, create a subdirectory
in the temporary directory, added -export-symbols-regex to the help,
* doc/PLATFORMS: Erez Zadok reported that libtool works on bsdi 4.0.1
* doc/libtool.texi (libltdl): libltdl supports BeOS
* libltdl/ltdl.c: shlib_ext was declared even if LTDL_SHLIB_EXT
didn't exist, partially reverted my previous patch: BeOS will
automatically search in ADDON_PATH
* ltmain.in: don't allow relative run-paths, fixed a typo in a warning,
ignore -dlopen self for libraries and objects,
only accept -L paths that exist, minor cleanups,
bugfix: add -lc for normal libraries, not convenicence libraries
removed offensive warnings/comments
link libraries with dependencies on .la libs.
* NEWS: Removed reference to win32, incase 1.3 ships before
ild is ready.
* doc/PLATFORMS: Removed i686-pc-cygwin32, for the same reason.
* doc/libtool.texi: Removed win32 refs, for the same reason.
got access to
* THANKS: added Chris P. Ross
* ltconfig.in: added recognition of the dynamic linker on BSD/OS 4.x
* README: added BSD/OS 4.x to the list of supported platforms
* doc/PLATFORMS: added BSD/OS 4.x support for various host id's
