* 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
regex (reported by Chris P. Ross <cross@eng.us.uu.net>)
* ltmain.in: support `-dlopen self', define lt_preloaded_symbols
if dlself != no
* doc/libtool.texi (Compile and Link mode): document it,
documented the -Wc, -Wl flags, libtool does also support non C
source code
* ltconfig.in: CR/LF fix for broken DJGPP bash
* ltmain.in: CR/LF fix for DJGPP
retain the order of dependency libraries (even old archives),
determining the absolute directory name didn't work due to a typo,
add the library search paths of all dependency libraries when
linking a library (fixes IRIX 5.2 bug)
programs (but not the wrapper script itself due to a stupidity in
win32 which hardwires the .exe extension to the binary loader!).
* ltconfig.in (exeext): Now that the wrapper script tries to move
executables, we need to know whether they have an extension (ala
AC_EXEEXT). Since we can't rely on AC_EXEEXT having been called
in configure.in, we must be able to check for ourselves, though we
can look for a cached result incase AC_EXEEXT was called.
(cygwin, export_symbols_cmds): Ditto.
* ltmain.in: Generate export symbol list before expanding
convenience libraries, to avoid passing whole_archive_flag_spec to
$NM.
Reported by Godmar Back <gback@cs.utah.edu>
* 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.
* 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)
which links to object files we must create. Do not test for empty
pic_flag to create such links. Use objext when searching for
object files extracted from convenience library.
* ltconfig.in (cygwin*, file_magic_cmd): Use autoconf-located target
objdump tool. Track OBJDUMP like DLLTOOL and AS.
* ltconfig.in (cygwin*, deplibs_check_method): Accept
"architecture: i386" as optional suffix, for it is printed on a
separate line sometimes.
* ltmain.in (cygwin*, ltdll.c): Wrap DllMain declaration in extern "C".
* ltmain.in (deplibs_check_method=file_magic): Redirect stderr to
/dev/null, to suppress error messages from target objdump.
default, but set to yes by -static and -all-static. Used instead
of build_libtool_libs to decide whether to use a shared or static
version of a library, when both versions are available.
* libltdl/ltdl.c (shl_close, shl_sym): use (shl_t *) instead of shl_t
* ltconfig.in (check for gcc): removed a bogus line,
check for shl_load in libdld
* ltmain.in: added a warning to the header of the .la file
to warn users against deleting the file,
link shared against static libraries if
deplibs_check_method == pass_all
an exec in the same if construct; otherwise the inline document
may not be removed.
* ltmain.in (--fallback-echo): Likewise.
Reported by John David Anglin <dave.anglin@nrc.ca>
(before, after): Create them within ../tests.
(libtool): Set to `/bin/sh ./libtool' by default, but use LIBTOOL,
SHELL and top_builddir from the environment if available. For dry
runs, use "$libtool -n".
* tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Added before and after.
* ltmain.in: Do not create links to object files in dry runs.
* 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
documented dryrun.test and depdemo*
* ltmain.in (lt_preloaded_symbols): dry-run mode bugfix
* tests/dryrun.test: new test to check whether the dry-run
mode works properly
* 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...),
library was linked with the same convenience library by
uniquifying the extract directory. It is now named after the new
library *and* the old one, and lives in the objdir of the new one.
the deplibs check is now optional
* libltdl/configure.in: read libtool --config only once,
merged AC_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE+AC_SYS_NM_PARSE from libtool.m4
* libtool.m4: AC_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE+AC_SYS_NM_PARSE were not
used, lt_dlopen and silent may be empty, AC_SYS_LIBTOOL_CYGWIN
no longer necessary
* ltconfig.in: NM is already checked in libtool.m4,
* ltmain.in: always link all static dependency_libs
* tests/Makefile.am: added deplibs.test
* tests/demo-exec.test, demo-inst.test: removed hell0
* tests/deplibs.test: new test to test the deplibs_check_method
* 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
from 1999-03-25; Gary's delay_variable_subst patch from 1999-02-19
obviates it. Keep only quoting of $PATH, for uniformity with
other systems that already did it
* TODO: comments on hardcoding paths into libraries; problem
with shell meta-characters in filenames
* 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,
its expansion the first time *_cmds variables are eval'ed. Modify
$show within loops that eval them so as to expand variables
* ltconfig.in (*_cmds): quote $ so that they're not expanded by
the first eval
* 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
* ltconfig.in: fast-install mode doesn't work for
hardcode_into_libs=yes
* ltmain.in: bugfix: "-dlopen self [-all]-static" wouldn't use
dlopen_self_static, automatically enable -export-dynamic when
using "-dlopen self", always make run-paths absolute,
ignore -lc only on platforms that don't have such a library,
cleanups in the ILD code, find even installed libtool libraries
that were moved, before generating the DLL-import library we need
to set libname, improved hardcoding of shlibpath for libraries,
don't generate an installable pseudo-library for convenience
libraries, bugfix: export_symbols would be removed immediately
before it is used
* 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.
