* 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.
* 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
added function lt_dlopenext(), removed reference to
LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS in LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS
* libltdl/ltdl.c: partially reverted Alexandre's dynamic string
allocation change (it was not necessary and the code was unreadable),
cleanups, removed usr_search_path_size, renamed usr_search_path
to user_search_path, in find_module() also check for moved
modules, merged find_file() and find_library(),
added lt_dlopenext(), in lt_dladdsearchdir() no longer reset
the search path if 'search_dir' == NULL and don't use realloc()
(might not be available on all platforms),
removed __P((void)) in the declaration of lt_dlgetsearchpath()
* libltdl/ltdl.h: added lt_dlopenext()
* ltconfig.in: AIX archive commands were broken,
fixed a MAJOR bug in global_symbol_pipe which caused
"demo-shared.test;demo-make.test" to fail (libtool must not extract
undefined symbols of libraries, i.e. symcode must not contain 'U')
* tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): "make distclean" in cdemo, too
* tests/mdemo-shared.test, tests/mdemo-static.test: ditto
* tests/Makefile.am: ditto
* doc/libtool.texi: document them
* demo/Makefile.am, mdemo/Makefile.am (@STATIC@): do not use
-static unconditionally, it can't work with --disable-static
* demo/configure.in, mdemo/configure.in: check whether libtool was
configured to build static libraries and, if not, set STATIC to an
empty string
* mdemo/Makefile.am: ../libltdl is within $(srcdir)
* libltdl, Makefile.am: added libltdl (a system independent
dlopen wrapper library extracted from mdemo)
* ltmain.in: added -module flag for compiling and linking of
modules. If enabled it compiles always both .o (with -DLT_RENAME)
and .lo files
* mdemo: modified mdemo to work with libltdl
* tests/ltdl*: added tests for libltdl
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: updated and fixed the patches below
1998-11-04 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* mdemo/*: added new demo to demonstrate building of dlopenend
modules
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/mdemo*: added some tests for mdemo
1998-11-04 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* demo/configure.in: added AC_EXEEXT macro so that the tests can
work on cywin32/mingw32 hosts. This requires the current CVS
autoconf
1998-11-04 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltmain.in: New flag -export-symbols; new dlpreopen system
* demo/dlmain.c: removed dld_preloaded_symbol_count
1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltmain.in: On installation, don't get confused if the same name
appears more than once in the list of library names.
1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltconfig.in: Add objext and libext variables. Check for object
suffix. Check for mingw32* as well as cygwin32*. Use objext when
testing compiler. Add support for Visual C++ on cygwin32 when not
using gcc. Add objext, libext, and fix_srcfile_path to generated
libtool script.
* ltmain.in: Use .${objext} rather than .o. Use fix_srcfile_path
if it is set. Check for .obj as well as for .o, and for .lib as
well as for .a. Use .${libext} rather than .a when creating old
libraries.
* libtoolize.in: Change initial /bin/sh to @SHELL@.
* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Add AC_REQUIRE for
AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, so that autoconf doesn't get mixed up by the
AC_REQUIRE in AC_CHECK_TOOL.
1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltconfig.in: Look in the right directory for libtool.c in
archive_cmds for cygwin32.
1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltconfig.in: Fix cygwin32 support to avoid using a double
extension, to delete the def file, to set version_type to windows,
and to include versuffix in the DLL name.
* ltmain.in: Add support for a version_type of windows.
1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltconfig.in: Add cygwin32 support.
* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Call AM_SYS_LIBTOOL_CYGWIN32 on a
cygwin32 host. Pass DLLTOOL and AS to ltconfig.
(AM_SYS_LIBTOOL_CYGWIN32): New macro.
