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* libtool.spec: removed, it was outdated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
* 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
* 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.
will be used as an argument for $file_magic_cmd to test whether
the regex in deplibs_check_method matches its output
(file_magic_cmd): use full pathnames whenever possible
lists the system *run-time* search path. Listed directories are
not implicitly hard-coded into executables.
* ltmain.in: use it, but *never* discard -R flags
* doc/libtool.texi: document it
* NEWS: ditto
Reported by Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>
output of NM too
(global_symbol_to_cdecl): new variable; convert the output of
global_symbol_pipe to valid C declarations; on HP/UX, convert
text symbols to function declarations
* libtool.m4: similar modifications
* doc/libtool.texi: document new variable
* ltmain.in: use global_symbol_to_cdecl to generate lt_dlpreopened
symbols; avoid extracting symbol lists from dlpreopened files
twice; do not filter symbols from dlpreopened libraries
* TODO: fixed HP/UX dlpreopening problem
(AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): if lt_dlopen=yes, add --enable-dlopen to
libtool_flags; drop --enable-dlopen-self
* ltconfig.in: perform all the dirty work of testing for dlopening
support, because we need platform-dependent equivalents for
-export-dynamic, for self dlopening, and -static, for static self
dlopening
(dlopen_self_static): new configuration variable that is set to
yes only if static programs can dlopen themselves
* ltmain.in (-static, -all-static): dlopen_self=dlopen_self_static
configure-work that AC_PROG_LIBTOOL used to do; add
--cache-file=$cache_file to libtool_flags
(AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): call AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, save the cache, run
ltconfig and reload the cache
* configure.in: run AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, then set LIBTOOL_FLAGS to
libtool_flags
* ltconfig.in: support --cache-file switch. If it is used, load
the cache in the beginning and save it just before terminating
need relink; in the other cases, set it to needless
* ltmain.in (fast_install): if needless, set relink_command empty
* doc/libtool.texi (fast_install, shlibpath_overrides_runpath):
document the new behavior
* demo/configure.in: use AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
* libtool.m4: added AC_ENABLE/DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL macro
* ltconfig.in: added --disable-fast-install flag
* ltmain.in: partially reverted Alexandre's patch and implemented
on-demand linking in such a way that the old developer-friendly
linking style is optional,
don't hardcode library paths that are in the system search path,
fixed a typo in lib_search_path,
implemented -export-symbols-regex for programs
the next version of cygwin.
(sub_uncdir): removed. We use <drive>:/path/to/executable now.
* libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LD): removed sub_uncdrive and sub_uncdir.
determines whether LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent can be used to
override a hard-coded library search path; default to unknown
(linux-gnu*): set it to no
(solaris*, sunos4*): set it to yes
* ltmain.in (build_libdirs_flags, build_libdirs, build_rpath): if
shlibpath_overrides_runpath is not yes, arrange that wrapper
scripts create, on demand, programs that use uninstalled libraries
* doc/libtool.texi: document it
export_symbols_cmd.
(cygwin, mingw): Be sure to compile the ltdll.c object before
extracting the exported symbol list. Extract only the names
of the exported symbols from the def file [otherwise we might
run into trouble with -export-symbols-regex].
(archive_expsym_cmds): Regenerate the def file from the symbol
export list.
(delay_variable_subst): New sed expression to allow us to delay
evaluation of $foo in a double_quote_subst evaluated variable by
using $.
* ltmain.in (export_symbols_cmds): evaluate each ~ delimitted cmd
separately.
* doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): new paragraph to
explain the difference between _cmd and _cmds suffixes for
variable names.
(export_symbols_cmds): renamed from export_symbols_cmd.
re-export the dll entry points DllMain@12, _cygwin_dll_entry@12 and
_cygwin_noncygwin_dll_entry@12 to avoid bugs with the wrong entry
function being called with inter-dll dependencies.

program and because he has patiently answered all of the
irritating dll and win32 questions I have fired at him.
