default, as most a.out platforms use it, and end up in trouble if
we preload it, so it's safer to rule it out by default, and
special case its removal from exclude_expsyms if someone ever
complains.
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
otherwise it will just be disregarded. This would cause
netbsd/m68k with GNU ld a.out, and certainly many other platforms,
to incorrectly believe that shared libraries were supported, while
archive_cmds was empty, causing shared libraries not to be created
* 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,
archives with it, then link the program hell0 with both
* demo/hell1.c, demo/hell2.c: dummy files used to create the
libtool archives without introducing symbol conflicts
* tests/demo-exec.test, tests/demo-inst.test: run the new program
* ltconfig.in (irix5*, irix6*, deplibs_check_method): pass_all
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
library extension used to think the . in [.] for the cygwin
shared_library_names_spec was the start of the extension!! We now
remove anything in square brackets (assuming that the square
brackets delimit a sed or expr expression which is not part of the
extension) before looking for the extension.
* TODO (cygwin): food for thought re: mutually dependant dlls.
* 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)
have -rpath
(aix4*, without_gnu_ld, hardcode_shlibpath_var): unsupported is
default
(hpux9*, hpux10*, hpux11*, archive_cmds): drop +s, unneeded here
(hpux9*, hpux10*, hpux11*, hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): add +s
before +b
(hpux9*, hpux10*, hpux11*, shlibpath_overrides_runpath): since +s
appears before +b, set it to yes
(hardcode_shlibpath_var, hardcode_action): do not use
shlibpath_var to specify the compile-time search path; it loses,
and we may end up linking with pre-installed older versions of
libraries instead of yet-to-be-installed ones
(*, hardcode_direct, hardcode_minus_L): remove entries that set
them to no, that is default
$$hardcode_libdir_flag_spec, if available, with libdir=$(libdir),
to make sure the hardcode_* variables will produce the expected
results even in the presence of a hardcoding flag; depend on
libhello.la having been installed already
(hc-libflag): link with the installed library, but try to
hard-code the uninstalled one
* doc/libtool.texi: document the changes
