* 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
is no longer needed, as ld reverted to the original format.
* NEWS: Likewise.
* ltconfig.in: When testing self-dlopening, test whether dlclose
crashes. On FreeBSD 3.1, it does. :-(
* libltdl/configure.in: Likewise.
* NEWS: Note work-around.
Reported by Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
* ltconfig.in: set deplibs_check_method=pass_all on FreeBSD,
Linux and Solaris since no one can reproduce the famous deplibs
bug
* ltmain.in: preserve $CC (reported by Tom Tromey),
strip libraries using GNU strip if it's available and the
-s flag was passed to "install"
* TODO: -Wc, -Wl, implemented
* AUTHORS: changed my email address
* doc/libtool.texi: fix "wierd" typo :)
* ltmain.in: linking against convenience libraries was broken,
implemented the "-Wc," "-Wl," "-Xcompiler" "-Xlinker" flag for
compiler and linker-specific flags,
add -lc before we do the deplibs check
* ltconfig.in: linkopts -> compiler_flags for $CC and linker_flags
for $LD, link_all_deplibs=yes on IRIX
* NEWS: insert todays date alongside 1.3.1 release.
* Makefile.in: use gnu not gnits rules
* config.guess: synch with gnu common & apply Takabatake-san's
MIPS *000 patch.
* config.sub: synch with gnu common.
* TODO: Recommend libtool.m4 to be inserted in acinclude.m4. AIX
4.3.2.0 no longer fails on static dlopening. GNU DLD no longer
has to support .la files, since libltdl already does. Convenience
libraries and reloadable objects should be tested in the
testsuite. We could support some amount of control on the soname
of libraries.
* doc/libtool.texi: Notes about convenience libraries and
automake. Documented INCLTDL.
ltconfig if this is set.
(AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL): New macro required for libtool to attempt
a dll build on win32 hosts.
* ltconfig.in (--enable-win32-dll): new flag for the cli.
(cygwin*|mingw*|os2*, ltconfig_enable_win32_dll): if this is not set
to yes, then do not attempt to build shared libraries.
* doc/libtool.texi: document AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL.
* NEWS: noted new macro.
* THANKS: added Ossama Othman
* doc/libtool.texi: documented the new `clean' mode
* ltconfig.in: set need_version=no on OSF (reported by
Marcus Sundberg <mackan@stacken.kth.se>)
* ltmain.in: allow absolute non-existant -L paths,
always use output_objdir instead of objdir for temporary files,
delete generated temporary symbol lists,
don't add .la twice in the pseudo-library header,
implemented and documented clean mode (deletes libraries,
programs and object files and the files associated with them),
if build_libtool_libs=no and no static library is available,
try to link the program against the shared library,
don't add a statically linked library to the dependency_libs
* ltmain.in (help uninstall): added a missing backslash
after echo (reported by Ossama Othman)
* doc/libtool.texi: removed hardcode_into_libs documentation
* libtool.m4: some DJGPP fixes
* ltconfig.in: ditto, reverted one of my previous patches: we need
to check for NM, removed the hardcode_into_libs support since
no platform seems to support it
* ltmain.in: some DJGPP fixes, removed the hardcode_into_libs support
* libtool.m4: check for main in libm instead of cos
* ltmain.in: cosmetic fixes, don't try to link libraries only once
(although it's not necessary on many platforms and looks ugly...),
* libtoolize.in: add the libtool scripts to libltdl.tar.gz
* libtool.m4: don't AC_SUBST(USE_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE),
AC_CHECK_LIBM sets LIBM, AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE doesn't work
when libltdl is already installed
* *demo/Makefile.am: use LIBM
* *demo/configure.in: AC_SUBST LIBM
* libltdl/configure.in: use ac_cv_sys_symbol_underscore instead of
USE_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE
* ltconfig.in: added link_all_deplibs variable
* doc/libtool.texi: document it
* ltmain.in: always search for libname.la - don't eval libname_spec,
when linking libraries against static ones just print a warning
and add them to dependency_libs, add -lc before deplibs,
always link all dependencies of a static library or if
link_all_deplibs is yes, hardcode library paths if
hardcode_into_libs is no, don't link against dependency_libs
that already are deplibs
* 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,
* NEWS: improved support for BeOS and Cygwin
* TODO: ILD branch was merged, all internal variables and macros
are now documented
* demo/Makefile.am: use $(LIBS) instead of -lm
* doc/libtool.texi: documented new variable hardcode_into_libs
and thread_safe_flag_spec, renamed all AM_ENABLE/DISABLE_* macros
to AC_*, documented AC_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL and AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
* libltdl/ltdl.c: added two new error messages (cannot_open_error,
cannot_close_error), use them where approriate,
BeOS support (thanks to Xavier Pianet), on BeOS search modules
additionally in ADDON_PATH
* libtool.m4: rewrote AC_CHECK_LIBM: BeOS and Cygwin don't have
libm and *-ncr-sysv4.3* requires libmw
* ltconfig.in: don't check for LoadLibrary, hardcode dlopen
configuration for BeOS and Cygwin
* ltmain.in: fix sourcing of .la files on Solaris
(patch by Raja R Harinath)
* 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.
lists the system *run-time* search path. Listed directories are
not implicitly hard-coded into executables.
* ltmain.in: use it, but *never* discard -R flags
* doc/libtool.texi: document it
* NEWS: ditto
Reported by Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>
new macros
* NEWS: ditto
* libltdl/configure.in: if none of the new macros or configure
arguments are used, warn and build convenience library only
* libltdl/Makefile.am: conditionally build convenience libltdl.la
* mdemo/configure.in: use AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE
* mdemo/Makefile.am: refer to @LIBLTDL@
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.
* ltmain.in, doc/libtool.texi: documented that -rpath is the same
as -R for programs
* ltmain.in: softened the instructions for linking with installed
libraries, and noted that libtool can be used to link with them;
documented that -rpath is not required for convenience libraries
maintainers. Detailed expected failures of libtldl+mdemo. Listed
recent ports. Added full URL for the home page. Note that
libtool C program is unusable.
* mdemo/Makefile.am: ../libltdl is within $(srcdir)
* libltdl, Makefile.am: added libltdl (a system independent
dlopen wrapper library extracted from mdemo)
* ltmain.in: added -module flag for compiling and linking of
modules. If enabled it compiles always both .o (with -DLT_RENAME)
and .lo files
* mdemo: modified mdemo to work with libltdl
* tests/ltdl*: added tests for libltdl
command-line compiler, so that we can use it to compile C sources
generated during the build. This fixes the problem that showed up
with -export-dynamic of C++ programs in egcs 1.1.
* NEWS: ditto
