* 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
* 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/libltdl.texi (linking with installed libtool libraries):
fixed typo
* doc/libltdl.texi (libltdl): added documentation for building
libtool modules and examples how to embed libltdl
* ltmain.in: don't ignore user-specified run-paths (fixed it
at the right place)
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
