* THANKS: Added Rob Collins and Chuck Wilson for their cygwin
work.
From Robert Collins <robert.collins@itdomain.com.au>:
* configure.ac (AC_EXEEXT): Needed for DOSish systems.
* libtool.m4 (shlibpath_overrides_runpath) [cygwin]: Set to yes
when compiling with gcc.
(lt_prog_compiler_pic) [cygwin]: No longer needs the -DDLL_EXPORT
hack, so we just say the pic is the default.
(AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) [cygwin]: Extract symbols from a
library normally.
[cygwin]: Declare C++ compiler characterisics for g++, taking into
account the new auto-import support in cygwin ld.
* ltmain.in (specialdeplibs) [cygwin]: Be careful about
eliminating duplicate -lgcc's from the link line.
[cygwin]: Be smarter about .exe suffixes.
* demo/configure.ac (AC_EXEEXT, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL): Support
DOSish systems properly.
* depdemo/configure.ac (AC_EXEEXT, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL): Ditto.
* demo/Makefile.am (deplibs-check): Allow for .exe suffix. Use
hell_static instead of hell.static for multi-`.' inhibited OSes.
* tests/demo-exec.test: Ditto.
* tests/demo-inst.test: Ditto.
* demo/foo.h [cygwin]: Sanitize cygwin dll support.
* demo/foo.c (_LIBFOO_COMPILATION_): No longer required.
* demo/hello.c (_LIBFOO_COMPILATION_): Ditto.
* depdemo/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Use depdemo_static instead
of depdemo.static for multi-`.' inhibited OSes.
* tests/depdemo-exec.test: Ditto.
* tests/depdemo-inst.test: Ditto.
* mdemo/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Ditto for mdemo.static.
* tests/dryrun.test: Ditto.
* tests/mdemo-exec.test: Ditto.
* tests/mdemo-inst.test: Ditto.
* tests/build-relink.test: Be careful about possible .exe
suffixes.
* tests/noinst-link.test: Allow for .exe suffix.
* 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)
this has a negative side-effect of causing automake to add MATHLIB
to every single Makefile. Let's use plain AC_CHECK_LIB, so that
LIBS get set, until we find a better alternative
* *demo/Makefile.am: remove $(MATHLIB)
* *demo/configure.in: use AC_CHECK_LIBM
* doc/libtool.texi: renamed file_magic_command to file_magic_cmd,
renamed archive_sym_cmds to archive_expsym_cmds
* ltconfig.in: ditto
* ltmain.in: ditto
* libltdl/ltdl.c: use lt_dlmalloc/free
* libltdl/ltdl.h: define lt_dlmalloc/free
* libtool.m4: added AC_CHECK_LIBM macro
* ltconfig.in: renamed archive_sym_cmds to archive_expsym_cmds,
added always_export_symbols, export_symbols_cmd, exclude_expsyms,
include_expsyms, removed archive_cmds for cygwin/mingw and AIX,
on Solaris store the exported symbols list in objdir
* ltmain.in: allow -export-symbols for modules, use thread_safe flag,
add include_expsyms to the exported symbols
(cvs-diff): ditto
(EXTRA_DIST): added README-alpha
(DIST_SUBDIRS): added depdemo
* README-alpha: minor adaptations
* demo/Makefile.am, mdemo/Makefile.am, depdemo/Makefile.am:
removed comment about special needs for distribution
* depdemo/Makefile.am: don't generate dependencies
* depdemo/configure.in: modified version number
