This is an alpha testing release of GNU Libtool. To get the latest
|
|
CVS version of this package, do:
|
|
|
|
export CVS_RSH=ssh
|
|
cvs -z3 -d :ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/libtool co libtool
|
|
cd libtool
|
|
./bootstrap
|
|
|
|
The `bootstrap' script sets up the source directory for you to hack. To
|
|
use it, you need a recent (maybe yet to be released) version of both
|
|
Autoconf and Automake.
|
|
|
|
If you have any suggestions or bug reports, or you wish to port
|
|
libtool to a new platform, please send electronic mail to the libtool
|
|
mailing list <libtool@gnu.org> or bug reports to <bug-libtool@gnu.org>.
|
|
Don't forget to mention the version of libtool that you are currently
|
|
using (by typing `libtool --version').
|

|
= Administrivia
|
|
|
|
* If you incorporate a change from somebody on the net:
|
|
If it is a large change, you must make sure they have signed the
|
|
appropriate paperwork, and be sure to add their name and email
|
|
address to THANKS
|
|
|
|
* If a change fixes a test, mention the test in the ChangeLog entry.
|
|
|
|
* If somebody reports a new bug, mention his name in the ChangeLog entry
|
|
and in the test case you write.
|
|
|
|
* The correct response to most actual bugs is to write a new test case
|
|
which demonstrates the bug. Then fix the bug, re-run the test suite,
|
|
and check everything in.
|
|
|
|
* Some files in the libtool package are not owned by libtool. These
|
|
files should never be edited here. These files are:

= Test suite
|
|
|
|
* Use "make check" liberally, on as many platforms as you can. Use as
|
|
many compilers and linkers you can.

================================================================
|
|
= Release procedure
|
|
|
|
* If you are a libtool maintainer, but have not yet registered your
|
|
gpg public key and (preferred) email address with the FSF, send an
|
|
email, preferably GPG-signed, to <ftp-upload@gnu.org> that includes
|
|
the following:
|
|
|
|
(a) name of package(s) that you are the maintainer for, and your
|
|
preferred email address.
|
|
|
|
(b) an ASCII armored copy of your GnuPG key, as an attachment.
|
|
("gpg --export -a YOUR_KEY_ID > mykey.asc" should give you
|
|
this.)
|
|
|
|
When you have received acknowledgement of your message, the proper GPG
|
|
keys will be registered on ftp-upload.gnu.org and only then will you be
|
|
authorized to upload files to the FSF ftp machines.
|
|
|
|
* Update the version number in configure.ac.
|
|
See http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/contribute.html for details of
|
|
the numbering scheme.
|
|
|
|
* Update NEWS, ChangeLog.
|
|
|
|
* Run ./bootstrap.
|
|
|
|
* Run ./configure and then make.
|
|
|
|
* Run `make -fMakefile.maint fetch', which will fetch new versions of the
|
|
files that are maintained outside of libtool.
|
|
|
|
* Run ./commit.
|
|
|
|
* Run `make -fMakefile.maint cvs-dist' which will build a release tarball
|
|
(with `make distcheck'), tag the tree with release-$(VERSION) and generate
|
|
the gpg signature files.
|
|
|
|
* Make sure you have a copy of xdelta installed, and a copy of the previous
|
|
release tarball in the build directory.
|
|
|
|
* Run 'make -fMakefile.maint deltas' (pass LASTRELEASE=min.maj[.mic[alpha]]
|
|
if needed) to create both diff and xdelta files between the previous
|
|
release tarball and the new with detached gpg signature files and clear
|
|
signed directive files.
|
|
|
|
* Upload release tarball, diff file and xdelta file, plus their associated
|
|
detached gpg signature files and clear signed directive files to
|
|
ftp-upload.gnu.org. If the upload is destined for ftp.gnu.org, then the
|
|
files should be placed in the /incoming/ftp directory. If the upload is
|
|
an alpha release destined for alpha.gnu.org, then the files should be
|
|
placed in the /incoming/alpha directory.
|
|
|
|
* Send announcement to libtool@gnu.org and autotools-announce@gnu.org,
|
|
if not an alpha send to info-gnu@gnu.org as well.
|
|
|
|
* Update version number in configure.ac to next alpha number.
|
|
See http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/contribute.html for details of
|
|
the numbering scheme.
|
|
|
|
* Update NEWS, ChangeLog.
|
|
|
|
* Run ./commit.
|
|
|
|
* Update the webpages, libtool.html will need to indicate the latest
|
|
release number and the news page should get a HTMLified copy of your
|
|
release announcement.
|
|
|
|
* If not an alpha, replace manual.html with the new one
|
|
(generate with `make -f Makefile.maint web-manual').

The Libtool Team is pleased to announce alpha release @VERSION@ of GNU

Libtool.

GNU Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a

consistent, portable interface. GNU Libtool ships with GNU libltdl,

which hides the complexity of loading dynamic runtime libraries

(modules) behind a consistent, portable interface.

|
