subdir-objects builds. This marks the beginning of a move to an
Autotest driven test framework, which will eventually allow us to
trim away many of the generated files in the current test demo
subdirectories:
* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Re-enable commented out
Autotest macros.
(AUTOTEST, M4SH): Use --language long hand.
* bootstrap: Generate tests/testsuite, and by implication
tests/package.m4.

tests/package.m4 from bootstrap.
(check-recursive): Add tests/testsuite.
(TESTSUITE): The new Autotest testsuite target.
(TESTSUITE_AT): The Autotest sources.
(EXTRA_DIST): Distribute the generated testsuite and sources.
(tests/package.m4): Use $(edit) to propagate package metadata to
the new tests.
(tests/testsuite): Build the testsuite.
(tests/atconfig): How to regenerate the file.
(check-local): Hook Autotest into `make check'.
(installcheck-local): Run the testsuite on the installed tree.
(clean-local): Tidy our file droppings.
* tests/Makefile.am: Remove bitrotted code from Autotest
experiments in Autoconf 2.52 era. Updated the rest and moved into
Makefile.am.
* tests/testsuite.at: New container for Autotest test groups.
* tests/am-subdir.at: New test group for compatibility with
Automake's subdir-objects builds. Currently holds two tests, one
for a C project and another similar project in C++.
* TODO: Add an entry to remind us that these new tests expose a
bug in libtool.
* NEWS: Updated.
workstation doesn't hardcode the shared library path, although it
used to, so this is more likely a function of the binutils and/or
gcc I am using at the moment. The hardcode value setting code for
the configure script sucks at the moment though...
* (TODO): ...and needs to do a test compile instead of a table
lookup before 2.0 final.

* tests/defs: Put a full m4sh.m4 style 'Be Bourne compatible'
preamble in here too.

prototypes.
(LT_DLERROR_CLOSE_RESIDENT_MODULE): New error status.
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlmakeresident, lt_dlisresident): Allow
making and testing of resident module status, which prevents a
module from being lt_dlclosed.
(lt_dlopen): If lt_dlopen()ing self, make the module resident.
(lt_dlclose): Return an error if the module is resident.
similar item to remind us to change the ltdl.m4 macros again when
_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK is divided into proper macros.
* ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SNARF_CONFIG): Removed. No longet required
now that ltconfig has migrated to libtool.m4.

4.3.2.0 no longer fails on static dlopening. GNU DLD no longer
has to support .la files, since libltdl already does. Convenience
libraries and reloadable objects should be tested in the
testsuite. We could support some amount of control on the soname
of libraries.
* doc/libtool.texi: Notes about convenience libraries and
automake. Documented INCLTDL.
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
* doc/PLATFORMS: Erez Zadok reported that libtool works on bsdi 4.0.1
* doc/libtool.texi (libltdl): libltdl supports BeOS

didn't exist, partially reverted my previous patch: BeOS will
automatically search in ADDON_PATH

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
* 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

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)
* 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)
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
* 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
* 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
* autogen: only libltdl needs autoheader
* doc/libtool.texi (link mode): documented -export-symbols-regex
and updated -export-symbols
* doc/libtool.texi (script contents): documented
always_export_symbols, export_symbols_cmd, exclude_expsyms,
include_expsyms, dlopen and dlopen_self
more detailed description of need_lib_prefix
* ltconfig.in: a "'" was missing in the default value
of export_symbols_cmd
* ltmain.in: implemented -export-symbols-regex
