Actually, you may consider having *huge* version numbers for testers,
and using tiny ones for public releases.
For testing releases use a major version corresponding with the
current date: -version-info 19971007
Then for the public release, figure out what has actually changed
since last time: -version-info 3:0:1
The huge test release major numbers will guarantee that every new test
release will require relinking, but the public versions will be
smarter and possibly backwards-compatible.
AD> I am no system guy, so I may say stupid things :)
Nothing stupid. These are legitimate questions that I will have to
answer eventually in the documentation.
Thanks for your questions,

You say, you will write code? I tried to imagine a solution without
new code, but I failed. So you write a new linker or just a library,
that I can use in my own code?

Yes. I have to know while compilation time of the binary, which libraries
get linked.

Thanks, it's a pleasure to hear such comments ;)

BTW: Perhaps you remember, I once contacted you because of some problems
with C++ and static objects in shared libs. I found out (or read in a
news group), that most compilers on such plattforms do some magic before
calling the linker. So, what libtool have to do to support such plattforms
(Solaris, FreeBSD and perhaps some more), is to call the compiler and not
the linker to create C++ shared libs.
CC (under Solaris) has the same options then the linker, but should create
correct libraries.
Currently I set CC to CXX before I run AM_PROG_LIBTOOL to let libtool
find the correct linker options for the C++ compiler instead of the C
compiler.
I just wanted to let you know, what I found out. I thought about patching
libtool to have better support for C++, but this would mean some drastic
changes, so I left it up to you ;)

Hi
I'd like to use libtool (ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.2 togheter with the SUN C++
compiler (CC: WorkShop Compilers 4.2 30 Oct 1996 C++ 4.2) on Solaris 5.5.1.
Everything works good except if I'm trying to use C++ templates in my code and
put this in a shared library. The linker is afterwards always complaining
about missing references. The problem occurs because libtool renames
the object
files from xxx.o to xxx.lo. The SUN C++ compiler builds for himself a
Template.DB
and this somehow doens't match anymore with the object file.
Have you ever heard of this problem and do you eventually allready have
a solution?
I search in Deja News but couldn't find anything.
A solution I could think of would be to rename the xxx.lo file back to
xxx.o before
the linking phase.
Thanks for any hints.
ciao
Alois

Problem:
building of shared libraries not supported.
(output of simple conffigure is attached.)
and in reality, the process of linking CC library is different,
becouse generation of templates can be doing on stage of linking.
In general, command for linking is
CC -xar -o$(LIBNAME) $(CXXFLAGS) $(OBJECTS)
If anybody will tell me, from what I must begin, I will help to
add such support.
Thanks.

I'm trying to use libtool with C++ programs, and found that libtool
wouldn't put any C++ methods into the shared library. When I looked
into it, I found that the nm command used to create the export list
doesn't pass a -C flag. On AIX, the -C flag says to leave C++ names
mangled. Since the function names weren't mangled, the sed line
didn't recognize them as functions, so they weren't put into the .exp
file. I found that I could fix the problem by adding a -C flag to
ac_cv_path_NM in config.guess. I suppose the configure script should
check for that and do it automatically.
I'm running libtool version 1.2 on an AIX 4.2 box
(powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0).
I have some test files that I can give to anyone who wants to test
this. And I can test potential fixes on my machine.
Thank you,
