Point the user to the doc/notes.txt file. In the examples, use `gmake' throughout to make it more obvious. Explain simpler way to run both testsuites and either one. Referring to individual tests needs the `tests/' prefix. * README.alpha: Likewise. * doc/notes.texi: Likewise, document need for GNU make. Comment out the FreeBSD make issue for now.

You currently need GNU make to build the Libtool package itself.

On AIX there are two different styles of shared linking, one in which symbols
|
|
are bound at link-time and one in which symbols are bound at runtime only,
|
|
similar to ELF@. In case of doubt use @code{LDFLAGS=-Wl,-brtl} for the latter style.

For C++ code with templates, it may be necessary to specify the way the compiler
|
|
will generate the instantiations. For Portland pgCC version5, use
|
|
@code{CXX='pgCC --one_instantiation_per_object'} and avoid parallel @command{make}.

On Darwin, for C++ code with templates you need two level shared libraries.
|

Libtool builds these by default if @env{MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET} is set to
|
|
10.3 or later at @command{configure} time. See @url{rdar://problem/4135857}
|
|
for more information on this issue.

@c FreeBSD @command{make} does not conform to @sc{posix} in its handling
|
|
@c of file modification times, which causes it to loop while building libtool.
|
|
@c Consider using a different @command{such} as GNU make instead.

The default shell on UNICOS 9, a ksh 88e variant, is too buggy to
|
|
correctly execute the libtool script. Users are advised to install a
|
|
modern shell such as GNU bash.

Some HP-UX @command{sed} programs are horribly broken, and cannot handle
|
|
libtool's requirements, so users may report unusual problems. There
|
|
is no workaround except to install a working @command{sed} (such as GNU sed)
|
|
on these systems.

The vendor-distributed NCR MP-RAS @command{cc} programs emits copyright
|
|
on standard error that confuse tests on size of @file{conftest.err}. The
|
|
workaround is to specify @env{CC} when run configure with
|
|
@code{CC='cc -Hnocopyr'}.

Any earlier DG/UX system with ELF executables, such as R3.10 or
|
|
R4.10, is also likely to work, but hasn't been explicitly tested.

On Reliant Unix libtool has only been tested with the Siemens C-compiler
|

and an old version of @command{gcc} provided by Marco Walther.

@file{libtool.m4}, @file{ltdl.m4} and the @file{configure.ac} files are marked
|
|
to use autoconf-mode, which is distributed with GNU Emacs 21, Autoconf itself,
|
|
and all recent releases of XEmacs.
