* 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* libtool.spec: removed, it was outdated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
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.
* 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)
dlfcn.h and LTDL_LAZY exist; use LTDL_GLOBAL and LTDL_LAZY_OR_NOW.
This test is likely to fail if self-dlopening does not work,
especially because we do not link the program with
-export-dynamic. Let's just hope that platforms whose symbol
names start with underscores will also accept underscores for
dlopen. We should probably use libtool to compile and link this
test, so that we can use -export-dynamic.
avoid introducing multiple --enable options when re-running
config.status
* libltdl/configure.in: if enable_ltdl_* is not set, assume no
* configure.in: if enable_ltdl_install is not set, enable it
always configure libltdl, add libltdl/acinclude.m4 to
ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST, disable installation of libltdl if necessary
* libltdl/Makefile.am: set version info for libltdl.la
* libltdl/configure.in: don't check whether
enable_ltdl_convenience/install was set so that libltdl
can be used as independent package (libltdl.tar.gz) without
the need to use --enable-ltdl*
* libltdl/ltdl.c: minor cleanups, allocate the line cache
dynamically (lt_dlopen)
renamed convenience libltdl, dropped toinst hack for installable
* libltdl/Makefile.am: ditto
* libltdl/configure.in: ditto; abort if none of the macros is used
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@
libltdl must not be renamed; if there's a problem with the install
option, let's fix it, not just work around it by breaking code of
users of the convenience library
* doc/libtool.texi (libltdl interface): removed the line which
promised that lt_dlopen will return NULL if it can't resolve all
symbols
* libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/configure.in: fixed build problem:
renamed the convenience library to libltdlc.la and the
installed version to libltdl.la
* ltmain.in (wrapper script): replaced the "T" suffix of the program
file name with a "lt-" prefix
* mdemo/Makefile.am: use libltdlc.la
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/demo-nofast.test: added demo to
test --enable-fast-install=no
when dlopening the executable
* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN): removed the redundant "yes: "
prefix for lt_cv_dlopen, renamed lt_cv_dlopen_LIBS
to lt_cv_dlopen_libs (more consistent)
* ltmain.in: implemented -dl[pre]open self, necessary for
lt_dlopen(NULL), generation of exported symbols was broken
* cdemo/foo1.c: renamed to foo.c
* libltdl/ltdl.c: eliminated lt_dltype, in presym_open():
search for @PROGRAM@ if filename == 0, in lt_dlopen():
fixed bug for filename == 0
* libltdl/ltdl.h: use __P macro for lt_dlmalloc/free
* libtool.m4: new macro AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN: checks for dlopen
and dlopen(NULL) support
* ltconfig.in: added new variables dlopen and dlopen_self,
--enable-dlopen[-self] flags for AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
* ltmain.in: use dlopen[_self], dlpreopen files if there's no
dlopen support, build lt_preloaded_symbols only if
-dl[pre]open was used, include program symbols if -export-dynamic
was specified and there's no dlopen(NULL) support
* mdemo/configure.in: use AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
* mdemo/main.c: demonstrate lt_dlopen(0)
* *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
* demo/Makefile.am: renamed hell.debug to hell.static
(we're demonstrating static linking, not debugging)
* tests/demo*: ditto
* doc/libtool.texi (libltdl): documented new lt_dlopen(NULL)
feature
* libltdl/acconfig.h: required for config.h
* libltdl/configure.in: use config.h
* libltdl/ltdl.c: use config.h, support lt_dlopen(NULL)
(returns a handle for the program itself)
* ltconfig.in: minor reformatting
* ltmain.in: in lt_preloaded_symbols always define
the program's symbols first, for -export-dynamic list all
program symbols together, -export-symbols was broken for
programs, minor reformatting
* mdemo/Makefile.am: renamed mdemo.debug to mdemo.static
* tests/mdemo*: ditto, mdemo.test was completely broken
addition to space as separator, and allow more than one space
between the symbol code and the symbol name; HP/UX's nm, for
example, uses two spaces
* ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): ditto
(bsdi4, deplibs_check_method): variable name was misspelled
* libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_preloaded_symbols): rewrite
test, so as not to depend on the way global_symbol_pipe is
initialized; the current test would get false positives, as
global_symbol_pipe was initialized `x=""', not `x='

* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopenext): missing space for terminator when
allocating memory for shlib_ext
enabled, create to-be-installed libltdl.la within @TOINST@
directory
(noinst_LTLIBRARIES): even if installation is enabled, build
convenience libltdl.la, otherwise builds of random packages may
fail if the user happens to enable installation
(distclean-hook): wipe out $(TOINST)
* libltdl/configure.in: set TOINST and LIBLIBS as appropriate;
don't set NOINSTLIBS any more
* mdemo/Makefile.am: use libltdl.la
recognize it and fail, better keep using AM_PROG_LIBTOOL until the
next release of automake
* demo/configure.in, cdemo/configure.in: ditto
* depdemo/configure.in, mdemo/configure.in: ditto
that all calls to malloc() are properly cast
(strdup, strchr, strrchr, trim, free_vars): declare as inline
(find_module): allocate filename dynamically; support null dir
(free_vars): free dir and name only if non-null
(lt_dlopen): keep dir as NULL if not given; fix expression that
calculated the size of name; only free and name if non-null
(lt_dlopenext): allocate tmp dynamically
* demo/configure.in: likewise
* depdemo/configure.in: likewise
* libltdl/configure.in: likewise
* mdemo/configure.in: likewise
* libltdl/ltdl.c: in find_module() check whether libdir is defined,
tryall_dlopen(): move deallocation of an already opened handle
to lt_dlopen(), allocate the directory in lt_dlopen() dynamically,
minor cleanups, fixed memory leak (name)
* libtool.m4: renamed all AM_ macros to AC_ and added aliases for
compatibilty, updated AC_SYS_NM_PARSE (no undefined symbols,
don't count the symbols)
* ltconfig.in: added thread_safe_flag_spec (not used yet),
added generic variable for linker options "linkopts" in
all archive_cmds
* ltmain.in: added -thread-safe flag (unused)
