* configure.in, libtool.spec, NEWS: bump to 1.2g
* configure.in, libtool.spec: bump to 1.2f
* doc/PLATFORMS: ditto
* NEWS: libtool 1.2f released
* ltmain.in: silence ``unbug'' :-) detected by sh.test
1999-03-14 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* TODO: we now use full pathnames for `file'
1999-03-14 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* TODO: libltdl is now documented
* 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)
1999-03-14 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in (deplibs_check_method=none): discard -L and -R
switches when testing whether deplibs contains some library
1999-03-14 Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>
* config.sub: recognize hppa2.0w, yet to be installed at GNU
* config.guess: minor update for FreeBSD-elf, yet to be installed
at GNU
1999-03-14 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in (bsdi4*, sys_lib_search_path_spec,
sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec): fix thinko in variable names; add
standard directories
* ltmain.in (exclude_expsyms): exclude symbols before sorting,
otherwise only the sorted list will have them excluded
* ltconfig.in (file_magic_cmd, file_magic_test_file, freebsd-elf*,
bsdi4*): use full pathnames when possible
* Makefile.am (all-recursive): depend on ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST
(all-local, check-local): remove, unused
* doc/PLATFORMS: updated platforms tested on 1.2f-pre; clean up;
reorder; untabify
* config.guess, config.sub: updated from GNU common
* doc/libtool.texi: notes on thread-safety problems of
libltdl/dlopen on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD
* ltconfig.in (aix3*, aix4*): GNU ld on AIX is very broken: it
cannot create working shared libraries. Print a warning
suggesting the user not to use it and disable shared libraries.
1999-03-13 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in (global_symbol_to_cdecl): was reset before trying
`symprfx=_', rendering the test with `_' useless
* doc/libtool.texi (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): eliminate overfull boxes
* doc/libtool.texi: complete dlopening/libltdl documentation
* ltconfig.in (osf3*, osf4*, deplibs_check_method): pass_all does
not really work; use file_magic instead.
(osf3*, osf4*): customize sys_lib_[dl]search_path_spec
* ltconfig.in (file_magic_test_file): new variable; if set, it
will be used as an argument for $file_magic_cmd to test whether
the regex in deplibs_check_method matches its output
(file_magic_cmd): use full pathnames whenever possible
* ltconfig.in (sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec): new variable, that
lists the system *run-time* search path. Listed directories are
not implicitly hard-coded into executables.
* ltmain.in: use it, but *never* discard -R flags
* doc/libtool.texi: document it
* NEWS: ditto
Reported by Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>
* tests/sh.test: look for `$Xsed' without `$echo "X...'
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: fixed a few such occurrences
* ltmain.in (-static, -all-static): revert March 11's patch, I was
barking up the wrong tree
1999-03-12 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* libltdl/ltdl.c: removed FILENAME_MAX since LTDL_FILENAME_MAX
is sufficient and doesn't break HP/UX
1999-03-11 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in: (global_symbol_pipe) extract symbol tag from the
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
* ltmain.in (-static, -all-static): set dlopen_self to
$dlopen_self_static regardless of link_static_flag or pic_flag
* ltmain.in: FreeBSD bug that needs symbol table compiled with
-fPIC is fixed in release 3.1; use it only for 2.* and 3.0
1999-03-11 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltmain.in: when building a library it doesn't make
sense to remove a relinked program ("lt-" prefix)
1999-03-11 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* mdemo/main.c (main, test_dl, test_dlself): propagate error
conditions better, to avoid false positives
* */configure.in: AC_SUBST(LIBTOOL_DEPS)
* */Makefile.am $(OBJECTS): depend on libtool
(libtool): rebuild automatically
* ltconfig.in: set dlopen_* variables to unknown when appropriate
* ltmain.in: only emit warning about lack of AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN if
*all* dlopen_* variables are set to unknown
1999-03-11 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltmain.in: delete the old output files (incl. the relinked binary)
before linking.
* ltconfig.in: replaced `configure' with $progname and all
line numbers with @LINENO@
1999-03-11 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (strdup): cannot return str when it's NULL
because of const correctness
1999-03-10 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (strdup): always use our own, because the
standard strdup won't use lt_dlmalloc
* ltconfig.in (dlfcn.h): function definition may cause warnings;
define variable instead
* ltmain.in: properly create an export file for a program,
avoiding error messages about not finding it
* TODO: need to document AC_LIBLTDL_*; static self dlopening
problem fixed
* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN): just set lt_dlopen=yes
(AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): if lt_dlopen=yes, add --enable-dlopen to
libtool_flags; drop --enable-dlopen-self
* ltconfig.in: perform all the dirty work of testing for dlopening
support, because we need platform-dependent equivalents for
-export-dynamic, for self dlopening, and -static, for static self
dlopening
(dlopen_self_static): new configuration variable that is set to
yes only if static programs can dlopen themselves
* ltmain.in (-static, -all-static): dlopen_self=dlopen_self_static
* libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_need_uscore): do not assume
dlfcn.h and LTDL_LAZY exist; use LTDL_GLOBAL and LTDL_LAZY_OR_NOW.
This test is likely to fail if self-dlopening does not work,
especially because we do not link the program with
-export-dynamic. Let's just hope that platforms whose symbol
names start with underscores will also accept underscores for
dlopen. We should probably use libtool to compile and link this
test, so that we can use -export-dynamic.
* mdemo/Makefile.am (@LIBLTDL@): depend on ../libltdl/config.h
* configure.in: fix AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS for ltconfig and ltmain.sh
so that they work if srcdir is relative too
* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE, AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE):
avoid introducing multiple --enable options when re-running
config.status
* libltdl/configure.in: if enable_ltdl_* is not set, assume no
* configure.in: if enable_ltdl_install is not set, enable it
* libltdl/configure.in: only assume implicit installation if
libltdl was libtoolized. If not, print a warning message
suggesting the use of --enable-ltdl-install or of one of the
AC_LIBLTDL_* macros.
* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): new macro, that does all the
configure-work that AC_PROG_LIBTOOL used to do; add
--cache-file=$cache_file to libtool_flags
(AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): call AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, save the cache, run
ltconfig and reload the cache
* configure.in: run AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, then set LIBTOOL_FLAGS to
libtool_flags
* ltconfig.in: support --cache-file switch. If it is used, load
the cache in the beginning and save it just before terminating
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): run demo-nofast before demo-shared
* configure.in: create ltconfig and ltmain.sh at the end of
config.status, if they do not exist. This fixes the bootstrap
problem reported by Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>
1999-03-10 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* NEWS: sorted by importance
* Makefile.am: set LIBTOOL_FLAGS when generating libtool
* configure.in: check for dlopen support and set LIBTOOL_FLAGS
accordingly
* configure.in: fix spacing for --disable-ltdl-install,
always configure libltdl, add libltdl/acinclude.m4 to
ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST, disable installation of libltdl if necessary
* libltdl/Makefile.am: set version info for libltdl.la
* libltdl/configure.in: don't check whether
enable_ltdl_convenience/install was set so that libltdl
can be used as independent package (libltdl.tar.gz) without
the need to use --enable-ltdl*
* libltdl/ltdl.c: minor cleanups, allocate the line cache
dynamically (lt_dlopen)
1999-03-10 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): some preprocessors choke if the `#'
of `#define' is not in column 1; let's go back to fortran! :-)
Add #undefs too, to avoid potential warnings or errors.
1999-03-09 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE, AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE):
renamed convenience libltdl, dropped toinst hack for installable
* libltdl/Makefile.am: ditto
* libltdl/configure.in: ditto; abort if none of the macros is used
* ltmain.in: $output_objdir/$objdir/ -> $output_objdir/lt-
1999-03-09 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): don't hardcode the length of the
constant strings
1999-03-09 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* Makefile.am (install-data-hook): install libltdl as a directory,
not as a tar-file, so that we do not modify the build tree at make
install time
* libtoolize.in (ltdl, ltdl_tar): update
* configure.in, Makefile.am, NEWS: install libltdl by default
* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE, AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE):
new macros
* NEWS: ditto
* libltdl/configure.in: if none of the new macros or configure
arguments are used, warn and build convenience library only
* libltdl/Makefile.am: conditionally build convenience libltdl.la
* mdemo/configure.in: use AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE
* mdemo/Makefile.am: refer to @LIBLTDL@
1999-03-09 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* NEWS: updated.
1999-03-08 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in: extract symbols from program objects to nlist first,
then translate them to the export_symbols format. Now it works,
but it appears to be needlessly extracting the symbol list from
dlpreopened libraries twice
* ltmain.in: temporarily disable dlopen_self when linking with
-static or -all-static, until we figure out how to test whether it
works at configure time
* TODO: remember to fix this later
* tests/build-relink.test: when hell is expected to fail, run it
within a subshell and redirect stderr to stdout, so that dynamic
linker errors are only printed in verbose mode
* ltmain.in (hardcode_libdir_separator, compile_rpath,
finalize_rpath): only substitute hardcode_libdir_flag_spec if
hardcode_libdirs is non-empty
* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN): do not depend on the existence
of dlfcn.h nor on the definition of RTLD_LAZY
* tests/build-relink.test: hellT was renamed to lt-hell
* libltdl/Makefile.am (@TOINST@/libltdl.la): do not hide the
command that creates the TOINST directory; remove `-o $@' from the
LINK command, $(LINK) already contains it.
1999-03-08 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* doc/libtool.texi (tests): documented demo-nofast.test and
renamed cdemo* to demo*
1999-03-08 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/configure.in, mdemo/Makefile.am:
libltdl must not be renamed; if there's a problem with the install
option, let's fix it, not just work around it by breaking code of
users of the convenience library
* tests/build-relink.test: link broken libhello.la with at least
one libtool object
1999-03-08 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* TODO: updated (libltdl build problem fixed)
* 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
1999-03-07 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): run hardcode before build-relink
trashes libhello.la
* tests/hardcode.test (need_prefix): set to yes so that _inst is
not removed
* ltmain.in (compile_command): append finalize search path to
compile search path
* tests/build-relink.test: new; check shlibpath_overrides_runpath
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): add build-relink.test; remove
hardcode.test duplicates
* doc/libtool.texi: document it
* ltmain.in (relink_command): do not prepend cd `pwd` to it, the
scripts already enters the correct directory, and expanding the
pathname would prevent the build tree from moving
* ltconfig.in (enable_fast_install): force it to no only if we
need relink; in the other cases, set it to needless
* ltmain.in (fast_install): if needless, set relink_command empty
* doc/libtool.texi (fast_install, shlibpath_overrides_runpath):
document the new behavior
* ltconfig.in (enable_fast_install): test whether it can be forced
off after shlibpath_overrides_runpath and enable_shared are set
1999-03-07 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* TODO: updated
* NEWS: updated
* TODO: scheduled some items for next release/future
* 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
1999-03-06 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (LTDL_LAZY_OR_NOW): renamed from LTDL_NOW; prefer
LAZY loading because it's much faster and NOW is apparently
partially broken on FreeBSD
Reported by Archie Cobbs <archie@whistle.com>
* ltconfig.in (archive_expsym_cmds, solaris, without_gnu_ld):
$lib.exp already starts with $objdir/
Reported by Godmar Back <gback@cs.utah.edu>
* ltmain.in (freebsd): compile symbol table file with pic_flag
only on FreeBSD and when not static linking; it's been causing
trouble on platforms such as OpenBSD.
1999-02-26 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* libtool.m4 (cygwin): s/\\(mingw\\|cygwin\\)32/\\1/g. Must've
missed this file when I changed to cygnus' new sanction name.
* ltconfig.in (sub_uncdrive): removed. This won't work with
the next version of cygwin.
(sub_uncdir): removed. We use <drive>:/path/to/executable now.
* libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LD): removed sub_uncdrive and sub_uncdir.
1999-02-25 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* TODO: added items for next alpha release, ILD etc.
* libltdl/ltdl.c: removed unnecessary check from presym_sym,
fixed bug in lt_dlclose, allow lt_dlopenext(NULL),
set deplibs for lt_dlopen(NULL)
1999-02-24 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in (file_magic_regex): sed `10q' is faster than `11,$d'
1999-02-22 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltconfig.in (dlopen, dlopen_self): default is unknown
* ltmain.in: fixed -dlopen self, print a warning
if -dlopen is used without AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
* mdemo/Makefile.am: use -dlopen self
1999-02-22 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in: added missing mkdir $progdir for on-demand executable
* ltmain.in: create on-demand executable as $progdir/$$-$program,
and rename it to $progdir/$program only when it's finished, to
avoid race conditions. We can still get the program linked
multiple times, if multiple instances are started simultaneously
and the program does not exist, but they are very unlikely to
interfere with each other. There's still a possibility that one
process removes the $program another has just created, and doesn't
replace it before the other tries to run it, in a system whose
`mv' is not atomic, so it will $rm then $mv, but so what? :-)
Locking files have been avoided to prevent dead-locks in case they
are left over after a reboot or crash.
* TODO: removed ILD, soon to be merged, and added convenience
libraries docs
* ltconfig.in (irix5*, irix6*, shlibpath_overides_runpath): yes
* ltmain.in: remove on-demand executable in the proper place, and
just warn if it can't be removed; add wrapper code to test whether
the install-executable is newer than the build-executable, to
relink it when it appears to be out-of-date
* libltdl/configure.in: check for dld.h
* libltdl/ltdl.c: include dld.h
(dld_open) it's spelled memory_error, not no_memory_error
Reported by Stefan Burstroem <f94sbu@efd.lth.se>
* ltmain.in: fix typos in my last change (s/ocmpile/compile/)
1999-02-21 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): use newhandle instead of handle
when dlopening the executable
* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN): removed the redundant "yes: "
prefix for lt_cv_dlopen, renamed lt_cv_dlopen_LIBS
to lt_cv_dlopen_libs (more consistent)
* ltmain.in: implemented -dl[pre]open self, necessary for
lt_dlopen(NULL), generation of exported symbols was broken
1999-02-20 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in: avoid duplication of -L switches, it sometimes breaks
IRIX 5.2's linker
* ltconfig.in (freebsd*, finish_cmds): expand objformat here
Reported by Vladimir Kushnir <kushn@mail.kar.net>
1999-02-20 Vladimir Kushnir <kushn@mail.kar.net>
* ltconfig.in (freebsd-elf*, need_version, need_lib_prefix): no
(freebsd-elf*, library_names_spec): add $libname.so instead of
$libname.so$versuffix; add $libname$release.so
1999-02-20 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* doc/libtool.texi: remove ticks from menu items; it breaks TeX
Reported by Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>
* ltmain.in: fixes for export-symbols dry-run
* ltconfig.in (shlibpath_overrides_runpath): new variable;
determines whether LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent can be used to
override a hard-coded library search path; default to unknown
(linux-gnu*): set it to no
(solaris*, sunos4*): set it to yes
* ltmain.in (build_libdirs_flags, build_libdirs, build_rpath): if
shlibpath_overrides_runpath is not yes, arrange that wrapper
scripts create, on demand, programs that use uninstalled libraries
* doc/libtool.texi: document it
* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN): check for dlopen in libc before
trying in dl. Add the actual dlopening type to lt_cv_dlopen, and
add any needed libraries to lt_cv_dlopen_LIBS. Add test for
MS-Windows' LoadLibrary. Check whether a program can dlopen
itself only if we really have dlopen(), not some equivalent
function, but leave room for testing with other mechanisms.
(AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): assume some form of dlopen, but not
dlopen(NULL), is available if AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN is not used, for
backward compatibility.
1999-02-20 Archie Cobbs <archie@whistle.com>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): use newhandle instead of handle
where appropriate, when dlopening a non-libtool library
1999-02-19 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* ltconfig.in (export_symbols_cmds): renamed from
export_symbols_cmd.
(cygwin, mingw): Be sure to compile the ltdll.c object before
extracting the exported symbol list. Extract only the names
of the exported symbols from the def file [otherwise we might
run into trouble with -export-symbols-regex].
(archive_expsym_cmds): Regenerate the def file from the symbol
export list.
(delay_variable_subst): New sed expression to allow us to delay
evaluation of $foo in a double_quote_subst evaluated variable by
using \$.
* ltmain.in (export_symbols_cmds): evaluate each ~ delimitted cmd
separately.
* doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): new paragraph to
explain the difference between _cmd and _cmds suffixes for
variable names.
(export_symbols_cmds): renamed from export_symbols_cmd.
1999-02-18 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in (ld_shlibs): move -soname and similar flags to the
end of archive_cmds and archive_expsym_cmds, so as to prevent
gcc's collect2 from inserting an object file between -soname and
the library name
* ltconfig.in (openbsd*, netbsd*, library_names_spec): append
alternate name without ${release}, otherwise build fails when
-release is used
1999-02-18 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* ltconfig.in (archive{,_sym}_commands): Be careful not to
re-export the dll entry points DllMain@12, _cygwin_dll_entry@12 and
_cygwin_noncygwin_dll_entry@12 to avoid bugs with the wrong entry
function being called with inter-dll dependencies.
Reported by DJ Delorie <dj@delorie.com>
* THANKS: Added DJ Delorie, since his code inspired the impgen.c
program and because he has patiently answered all of the
irritating dll and win32 questions I have fired at him.
* ltmain.in (version_type): Oops. Irix versioning implies that
major version numbers are 1 based (not zero based). Fixed.
* ltmain.in (version_type): Implement irix versioning.
* ltconfig.in (irix{5,6}*): Use new irix shared object versioning.
* TODO: remove irix versioning from TODO list.
* ltmain.in (impgen.c): Added a new embedded C file that can be
used under win32 to extract a def file (symbol export list) from a
dll that has none. Code to use it might need to wait for the ILD
merge before it will be useful...
1999-02-18 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* TODO: updated
* 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
1999-02-17 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in: (freebsd2*, sunos4*, exclude_expsyms): exclude
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
* ltmain.in: implement exclude_expsyms with egrep
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlmalloc, lt_dlfree): SunOS' cc can't cope
with argument lists, we __P even in the definition
1999-02-15 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* cdemo/Makefile.am: renamed *foo1 to *foo, removed $(MATH_LIB)
* cdemo/foo1.c: renamed to foo.c
* libltdl/ltdl.c: eliminated lt_dltype, in presym_open():
search for @PROGRAM@ if filename == 0, in lt_dlopen():
fixed bug for filename == 0
* libltdl/ltdl.h: use __P macro for lt_dlmalloc/free
* libtool.m4: new macro AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN: checks for dlopen
and dlopen(NULL) support
* ltconfig.in: added new variables dlopen and dlopen_self,
--enable-dlopen[-self] flags for AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
* ltmain.in: use dlopen[_self], dlpreopen files if there's no
dlopen support, build lt_preloaded_symbols only if
-dl[pre]open was used, include program symbols if -export-dynamic
was specified and there's no dlopen(NULL) support
* mdemo/configure.in: use AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
* mdemo/main.c: demonstrate lt_dlopen(0)
1999-02-15 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* demo/dlmain.c (_WIN32): The lt_symlist structure is now const,
so my original horrible temporary win32 hack no longer worked.
Here is a new horrible temporary hack to prevent helldl from SEGVing
on win32. I will fix this properly when we figure out how to do
data exports from dlls.
1999-02-14 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libtool.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIBM): do not set MATHLIB or AC_SUBST it,
this has a negative side-effect of causing automake to add MATHLIB
to every single Makefile. Let's use plain AC_CHECK_LIB, so that
LIBS get set, until we find a better alternative
* *demo/Makefile.am: remove $(MATHLIB)
* libltdl/configure.in: add a DESCRIPTION argument to AC_DEFINEs
where appropriate, so as to get rid of acconfig.h
* libltdl/acconfig.h: removed
1999-02-13 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* *demo/Makefile.am: use $(MATHLIB)
* *demo/configure.in: use AC_CHECK_LIBM
* doc/libtool.texi: renamed file_magic_command to file_magic_cmd,
renamed archive_sym_cmds to archive_expsym_cmds
* ltconfig.in: ditto
* ltmain.in: ditto
* libltdl/ltdl.c: use lt_dlmalloc/free
* libltdl/ltdl.h: define lt_dlmalloc/free
* libtool.m4: added AC_CHECK_LIBM macro
* ltconfig.in: renamed archive_sym_cmds to archive_expsym_cmds,
added always_export_symbols, export_symbols_cmd, exclude_expsyms,
include_expsyms, removed archive_cmds for cygwin/mingw and AIX,
on Solaris store the exported symbols list in objdir
* ltmain.in: allow -export-symbols for modules, use thread_safe flag,
add include_expsyms to the exported symbols
1999-02-12 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* libltdl/ltdl.h (_LTDLL_EXTERN): libltdl is no longer linked as a
shared library, so the _declspec's were preventing the linker from
resolving symbols on win32. They have been removed now.
1999-02-12 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in: don't try to read objdir/libname.la before it is
created!
* ltmain.in: create libname.lai at link time, not at install time,
but still create it at install time if it is missing
Reported by Akim Demaille <demaille@inf.enst.fr>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (tryall_dlopen): strcmp filenames was reversed
1999-02-11 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* autogen: libltdl needs autoheader
* demo/Makefile.am: renamed hell.debug to hell.static
(we're demonstrating static linking, not debugging)
* tests/demo*: ditto
* doc/libtool.texi (libltdl): documented new lt_dlopen(NULL)
feature
* libltdl/acconfig.h: required for config.h
* libltdl/configure.in: use config.h
* libltdl/ltdl.c: use config.h, support lt_dlopen(NULL)
(returns a handle for the program itself)
* ltconfig.in: minor reformatting
* ltmain.in: in lt_preloaded_symbols always define
the program's symbols first, for -export-dynamic list all
program symbols together, -export-symbols was broken for
programs, minor reformatting
* mdemo/Makefile.am: renamed mdemo.debug to mdemo.static
* tests/mdemo*: ditto, mdemo.test was completely broken
1999-02-10 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in (irix5*, irix6*, osf3*, osf4*): do not use
-set_version in archive_cmds if verstring is empty
(irix6*, shlibpath_var, sys_lib_search_path-spec,
deplibs_check_method): set appropriate values depending on
selected ABI, -32, -n32 or -64, as set in LD by libtool.m4
(uts4*): remove dot between .so and versuffix
1999-02-08 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in (irix5*, irix6*, deplibs_check_method): use
file_magic for inter-library dependency tracking
* ltconfig.in (irix5*, hardcode_libdir_separator): set it to a
colon, because on IRIX 5 only the last -rpath switch prevails, and
it can be a list of colon-separated directories. This change will
affect irix6 too, but that's not a problem.
* ltconfig.in (irix5*, library_names_spec): add soname_spec,
otherwise we can't dlopen
1999-02-08 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltconfig.in: according to Marcus Sundberg <mackan@stacken.kth.se>
HP/UX, IRIX, OpenBSD, Digital Unix and SunOS support
need_version=no and need_lib_prefix=no,
fixed a bug in Solaris' archive_sym_cmds
1999-02-04 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libtool.m4 (ac_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe): accept TAB in
addition to space as separator, and allow more than one space
between the symbol code and the symbol name; HP/UX's nm, for
example, uses two spaces
* ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): ditto
(bsdi4, deplibs_check_method): variable name was misspelled
* libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_preloaded_symbols): rewrite
test, so as not to depend on the way global_symbol_pipe is
initialized; the current test would get false positives, as
global_symbol_pipe was initialized `x=""', not `x='
* libltdl/ltdl.c (find_module): initialize filename if dir is NULL
Reported by Godmar Back <gback@cs.utah.edu>
1999-02-04 Godmar Back <gback@cs.utah.edu>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopenext): missing space for terminator when
allocating memory for shlib_ext
1999-02-03 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopenext): tmp would be trashed if shlib_ext
was longer than 3 characters
1999-02-02 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* ltconfig.in: new config.guess returns *-*-cygwin now instead of
*-*-cygwin32. sed -e 's%\(cygwin\|mingw\)32%\1%g' ltconfig.in
* ltmain.in: sed -e 's%\(cygwin\|mingw\)32%\1%g' ltmain.in
* ltconfig.in (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec, allow_undefined_flag,
archive_cmds, archive_sym_cmds, old_archive_from_new_cmds):
removed duplication of config by assuming that `test $with_gcc =
yes' implies gnu ld, otherwise MSVC++ (which I haven't tested
since I inheritted the code from Ian Lance Taylor btw!) is implied.
1999-01-28 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* ltmain.in: Reverted this change of Alexandre's from the
1999-01-25; "don't try to use .o instead of .lo just because
there's no PIC flag. It loses if --disable-static, and there's
not much point if we're referring to the same file anyway...",
because not all linkers will accept .lo object names.
* ltmain.in: In the case where --disable-static is specified (as
noted in Alexandre's log entry), we just link some .o files to
prevent the original error.
Reported by Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>
1999-01-27 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libtoolize.in: search for A[MC]_PROG_LIBTOOL, not
AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
Reported by Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
1999-01-27 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* THANKS: Now that we have a policy, applied it to the existing
list. This in no way demeans the work of those people removed
from the THANKS file, who are still credited in the ChangeLogs and
without who's work, libtool would not work so well on many
platforms, but serves to highlight the outstanding and continued
contribution the remaining people have made. And I quote, "We
reserve THANKS for people who have made major contributions, and
leave the credit to the others for the ChangeLog only."
* THANKS: added Sam Vilain.
* ltconfig.in ($echo): When using printf to replace echo the shell
expands %s\n to %sn. Changed to use "%s\n" (with quotes).
Reported by Sam Vilain <sam.vilain@nz.unisys.com>
1999-01-27 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (find_file): fix endless loop condition
(find_module): filename allocation was off by 1
* libltdl/Makefile.am (distclean-local): renamed from
distclean-hook, that didn't work
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen, non-.la): find_file now returns 0 on
failure
* Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): some broken makes don't like
macros in targets; replace $(srcdir) with @srcdir@
* configure.in (ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST): same problem; expand $srcdir
* libltdl/Makefile.am (@TOINST@/libltdl.la): if installation is
enabled, create to-be-installed libltdl.la within @TOINST@
directory
(noinst_LTLIBRARIES): even if installation is enabled, build
convenience libltdl.la, otherwise builds of random packages may
fail if the user happens to enable installation
(distclean-hook): wipe out $(TOINST)
* libltdl/configure.in: set TOINST and LIBLIBS as appropriate;
don't set NOINSTLIBS any more
* mdemo/Makefile.am: use libltdl.la
* libltdl/ltdl.c (find_file): oops, filenamesize was miscomputed
* libltdl/ltdl.c (find_file): allocate filename dynamically
* libltdl/configure.in (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): automake does not
recognize it and fail, better keep using AM_PROG_LIBTOOL until the
next release of automake
* demo/configure.in, cdemo/configure.in: ditto
* depdemo/configure.in, mdemo/configure.in: ditto
* libltdl/ltdl.c: make all global strings char[], not char*; check
that all calls to malloc() are properly cast
(strdup, strchr, strrchr, trim, free_vars): declare as inline
(find_module): allocate filename dynamically; support null dir
(free_vars): free dir and name only if non-null
(lt_dlopen): keep dir as NULL if not given; fix expression that
calculated the size of name; only free and name if non-null
(lt_dlopenext): allocate tmp dynamically
* configure.in (pkgdatadir): expand ${PACKAGE} at configure-time,
just like automake does
* configure.in (pkgdatadir): define pkgdatadir explicitly, and
comment that automake does not need it, but libtoolize does
* Makefile.am (aclocaldir): do not set it explicitly, automake
does already
* configure.in (TIMESTAMP): use mkstamp here too
1999-01-27 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* cdemo/configure.in: renamed AM_PROG_LIBTOOL to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
* demo/configure.in: likewise
* depdemo/configure.in: likewise
* libltdl/configure.in: likewise
* mdemo/configure.in: likewise
* libltdl/ltdl.c: in find_module() check whether libdir is defined,
tryall_dlopen(): move deallocation of an already opened handle
to lt_dlopen(), allocate the directory in lt_dlopen() dynamically,
minor cleanups, fixed memory leak (name)
* libtool.m4: renamed all AM_ macros to AC_ and added aliases for
compatibilty, updated AC_SYS_NM_PARSE (no undefined symbols,
don't count the symbols)
* ltconfig.in: added thread_safe_flag_spec (not used yet),
added generic variable for linker options "linkopts" in
all archive_cmds
* ltmain.in: added -thread-safe flag (unused)
1999-01-26 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in (LTCONFIG_VERSION): damn!, adding TIMESTAMP doesn't
always work, because then different ChangeLog timestamps fail to
pass the version test. Instead of forcing both ltconfig and
ltmain.sh to be updated every time ChangeLog changes, better
revert it
* ltconfig.in (LTCONFIG_VERSION): add TIMESTAMP, remove
explicit quotes and add it to the list of variables to quote
* ltmain.in: reworded `dropped inter-library dependencies'
message, and added a warning about inter-library dependencies even
for non-module builds
1999-01-26 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* Makefile.am (install-data-hook): Don't show the if expression
that tests for gzip with a conditional error message; just do it
quietly and show the error if it fails, or the next action if it
succeeds.
* configure.in: It seems Alexandre accidentally removed the
AC_SUBST(pkgdatadir) line recently which breaks libtoolize.
Reverted that small change.
1999-01-25 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (find_module): test old_name and dlname for NULL,
not len==0
* libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_objdir): yes, appending the "/"
in configure.in was much simpler
* libltdl/ltdl.c (objdir): ditto
* libltdl/ltdl.c (objdir): string collation isn't portable; strcat
"/" explicitly. Or should this be moved to configure.in?
1999-01-25 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* libltdl/ltdl.c: allocate the variables in lt_dlopen() dynamically
1999-01-25 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in (file_magic): use egrep instead of expr to support
more general regular expressions
(file_regex): remove it; the name is misleading, it's not used
anywhere, and probably will never be
* ltconfig.in, doc/libtool.texi: ditto
* ltconfig.in (linux-gnu*, deplibs_check_method): extend regex to
support `LSB dynamic lib' in the output of `file'
Reported by Scott D. Heavner <sdh@po.cwru.edu>
* ltmain.in (dependency_libs, xrpath): add -R switches to
dependency_libs only just before creating the .la file; they
should not be passed to the C compiler or linker at
library-creation time, since we don't know whether it is supported
* ltconfig.in (freebsd2.2*, hardcode_minus_L): for FreeBSD 2.2.6,
this must be `no'
* mkstamp: move the sed script to extract revision and date
information into a separate shell-script, so that we can break
lines between commands; FreeBSD's sed doesn't like `;' after `t'
Reported by Axel Thimm <Axel.Thimm@physik.fu-berlin.de>
* Makefile.am: use mkstamp
* THANKS: added Axel Thimm
* ltmain.in: don't try to use .o instead of .lo just because
there's no PIC flag. It loses if --disable-static, and there's
not much point if we're referring to the same file anyway...
* ltmain.in (pass_all=none, droppeddeps): set only if deplibs was
non-empty
1999-01-24 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* libltdl/ltdl.c: minor bugfixes, append a "/" the search
directory only if necessary
* ltconfig.in: added support for FreeBSD >= 3.0
(patch from Kurt D. Zeilenga)
* THANKS: added Kurt D. Zeilenga
1999-01-24 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* doc/libtool.texi (libltdl): list supported dlopen mechanisms,
added function lt_dlopenext(), removed reference to
LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS in LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS
* libltdl/ltdl.c: partially reverted Alexandre's dynamic string
allocation change (it was not necessary and the code was unreadable),
cleanups, removed usr_search_path_size, renamed usr_search_path
to user_search_path, in find_module() also check for moved
modules, merged find_file() and find_library(),
added lt_dlopenext(), in lt_dladdsearchdir() no longer reset
the search path if 'search_dir' == NULL and don't use realloc()
(might not be available on all platforms),
removed __P((void)) in the declaration of lt_dlgetsearchpath()
* libltdl/ltdl.h: added lt_dlopenext()
* ltconfig.in: AIX archive commands were broken,
fixed a MAJOR bug in global_symbol_pipe which caused
"demo-shared.test;demo-make.test" to fail (libtool must not extract
undefined symbols of libraries, i.e. symcode must not contain 'U')
* tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): "make distclean" in cdemo, too
1999-01-22 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): add ChangeLog Revision to
TIMESTAMP
* configure.in: get values of PACKAGE and VERSION set by
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and extract only TIMESTAMP from the ChangeLog
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): if we're reusing a previously opened
handle, don't reset its name nor add it to the list, and free the
name we have allocated
Reported by Edouard G. Parmelan <Edouard.Parmelan@France.NCR.COM>
* Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh, TIMESTAMP): let's not assume
anything about the format of the date, just that it does not
contain `$'
1999-01-22 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* configure.in (date): echo the version number during
configuration, and show $date for cvs versions.
* Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig): Oops. cvs co keyword
expansion ate the sed expression! Changed sed separator to '%'
because there are '/' in the date. Added missing '\(' to search
expression. Inserted a null string to stop cvs from expanding it
next time =)O|
($(srcdir)/ltmain.sh): ditto.
1999-01-22 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* Makefile.am (TSDEPS_DIST): dist-time dependencies for timestamps
(timestamps, update-timestamps): check whether TSDEPS_DIST are
up-to-date and update ltconfig and ltmain.sh if needed
(ltconfig, ltmain.sh): depend on TSDEPS; replace @TIMESTAMP@ with
the Date tag in the ChangeLog
(TSDEPS): empty unless overridden by update-timestamps
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (TIMESTAMP): append timestamp to most
references to VERSION
1999-01-22 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* ltmain.in (ild): Revert the change which allowed libtool to
link libraries with dependencies on .la libs.
* NEWS: Removed reference to win32, incase 1.3 ships before
ild is ready.
* doc/PLATFORMS: Removed i686-pc-cygwin32, for the same reason.
* doc/libtool.texi: Removed win32 refs, for the same reason.
1999-01-22 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in (Xsed): add 1 to Xsed definition that goes into
temporary wrapper scripts
* libtool.m4: we don't have Xsed here, expand it manually
Reported by Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
1999-01-22 Edouard G. Parmelan <Edouard.Parmelan@France.NCR.COM>
* ltmain.in (finalize_hardcode_libdirs, finalize_rpath): in
platforms that use -rpath, programs must be finalized at
installation time, otherwise build-tree programs will
prefer installed libraries over build-tree ones
1999-01-22 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* mdemo/Makefile.am (../libltdl/libtool): if it does not exist,
the sub-make for libltdlc.la will take care of it, but we must at
least provide an empty rule for it, otherwise the sub-make will
never run
* demo/configure.in, demo/Makefile.am (DLPREOPEN): reverted; it
didn't make any difference.
1999-01-21 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* THANKS: Added Chris Laas <golem@MIT.EDU>
From Chris Laas <golem@MIT.EDU>
* ltmain.in (compile): corrected a typo in compile mode which
caused "gcc: unrecognized option -c-fPIC" errors due to a missing
space.
1999-01-21 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/configure.in: reintroduce code to detect native library
extension
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): if a .la file name is given, that's
all. Otherwise, lt_dlopen now tries to append .la first. If this
fails, it tries the given filename, and, at last, tries to append
the native library extension to the given filename.
* doc/libtool.texi (lt_dlopen): explain new lookup strategy
* libltdl/ltdl.c: major rewrite to avoid almost all fixed-size
buffers; only `tmp' in lt_dlopen remained. But the code got ugly
:-(
* ltconfig.in (linux-gnu*, finish_cmds): remove erroneous backslash
* demo/configure.in: set DLPREOPEN to -dlopen if we don't have
shared libraries
* demo/Makefile.am (DLPREOPEN): use instead of -dlpreopen
(STATIC): use $(STATIC), not @STATIC@
* mdemo/Makefile.am (STATIC): ditto
* tests/demo-shared.test, tests/demo-static.test: new tests
* tests/mdemo-shared.test, tests/mdemo-static.test: ditto
* tests/Makefile.am: ditto
* doc/libtool.texi: document them
* demo/Makefile.am, mdemo/Makefile.am (STATIC): do not use
-static unconditionally, it can't work with --disable-static
* demo/configure.in, mdemo/configure.in: check whether libtool was
configured to build static libraries and, if not, set STATIC to an
empty string
1999-01-20 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in (module, droppeddeps): if libtool could not satisfy
all dependencies of a module, it will only build a static version
of it, and display a warning message
1999-01-20 Erez Zadok <ezk@shekel.mcl.cs.columbia.edu>
* ltconfig.in (aix4*, with_gcc, archive_cmds): fix typo in Andrey
Slepuhin's last patch
1999-01-20 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* Makefile.am (@DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@): work around Ultrix /bin/sh bug
* tests/nomode.test (must specify a MODE): ditto
Reported by Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
* THANKS: Added Rainer Orth
1999-01-20 Rainer Orth <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>

* doc/PLATFORMS: updates for sunos4/m68k and aix
1999-01-20 Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>
* ltconfig.in (aix4*): check for reworked collect2, always pass
-bnoentry option to linker when building a shared library
1999-01-20 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in (file_magic): follow soft-links before running `file'
on the candidate library; try to avoid entering endless loop
Suggested by Nix <nix@esperi.demon.co.uk>
* ltconfig.in (linux*, solaris*, bsdi4*, sys_lib_search_path):
remove expansion of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
* ltmain.in (lib_search_path): append the expansion of $shlibpath_var
* doc/libtool.texi: document it
* THANKS: Added Steven Schultz
1999-01-20 Steven M. Schultz <sms@wlv.iipo.gtegsc.com>
* ltconfig.in (bsdi4*, check_shared_deplibs_method): file_magic
(bsdi4*, sys_lib_search_path): add /shlib and other dirs
1999-01-20 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* cdemo/main.c (main): use K&R definition syntax
* mdemo/main.c (test_dl, main): ditto
(test_dl): casts return value of lt_dlsym to appropriate types
* ltmain.in (dlsyms): #define const to nothing if not __STDC__
* ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): #define const to nothing if
not __STDC__
* demo/dlmain.c (main): cast s->address to the appropriate pointer
types, otherwise StunOS4's cc refuses to compile it
* ltconfig.in (sunos4*, without_gnu_ld, with_gcc, archive_cmds):
add -fPIC, because libgcc is multilibbed, and we want the PIC
version of it for shared libraries, otherwise ld complains
* demo/dlmain.c (main): add missing const to declaration of name
* libltdl/ltdl.c (find_module): remove the libdir argument, and
try to open library only as old_name and dir/dlname
(lt_dlopen): use `installed' variable in .la file to decide
whether to use libdir or objdir
* demo/configure.in (AC_C_CONST): added, for portability
* mdemo/configure.in (AC_C_CONST): ditto
* libltdl/configure.in (AC_C_CONST, AC_C_INLINE): ditto
* libltdl/ltdl.c (LTDL_FILENAME_MAX): use FILENAME_MAX if defined
(FILENAME_MAX): replace all explicit uses with LTDL_FILENAME_MAX
(presym_free_symlists, trim): don't return void, for portability
(lt_dlgetsearchpath): replace (void) with __P((void))
* ltmain.in (compile): when compiling both PIC and non-PIC, write
the PIC object to .libs/.lo and only rename it to .lo after
compiling the .o, to avoid fooling make dependencies
* mdemo/main.c (LTDL_PREOPENED_SYMBOLS): remove
1999-01-20 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* TODO: Added inter-library deps for ltlibs.
* THANKS: Added Vladimir Kushnir.
1999-01-20 Vladimir Kushnir <kushn@mail.kar.net>

`file_magic_command' for freebsd-elf.
1999-01-20 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* TODO: should we also build a `static' copy of a convenience
library out of .o files?
* ltconfig.in (bsdi4*, netbsd*, uts4*, library_names_spec,
soname_spec): removed duplicate dot before $major
Reported by Steven M. Schultz <sms@wlv.iipo.gtegsc.com> (bsdi4*)
* THANKS: added Manfred Weichel
1999-01-20 Manfred Weichel <Manfred.Weichel@pdb.siemens.de>
* ltconfig.in (sysv5*): same as sysv4.3*
1999-01-20 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): properly detect error condition when
full pathname of non-libtool library is provided
* libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_preloaded_symbols,
HAVE_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): test whether we support -dl*open
* libltdl/ltdl.c (!HAVE_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS, lt_preloaded_symbols):
define it to an empty list if libtool won't generate it, so as to
avoid link errors. This will cause silent dlopening failures, but
maybe this is better than failing to link the program...
* libltdl/ltdl.h (LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): remove it; better to
declare lt_preloaded_symbols
* doc/libtool.texi (LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): ditto
* ltmain.in (dlpredeps): removed, reverting 1999-01-17's change
1999-01-19 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/Makefile.am (Makefile): depend on libtool
* ltmain.in (lt_preloaded_setup): function added to symbol list
source file to work around FreeBSD problem
* Makefile.am (check-local): depend on libltdl/Makefile
* mdemo/Makefile.am (mdemo_LDFLAGS, mdemo_LDADD): moved -dlopen
flags to LDADD

From Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>
* ltmain.in (hardcode_action) Oops, misapplied the patch!
* ltconfig.in (compile_dependencylbs): removed this

* ltmain.in (compile_dependencylibs): removed this
variable, use deplibs to hold these dependencies.
From Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>
* ltmain.in (hardcode_action) make sure deplibs is set to include
all the extra libs added to compile_command.
1999-01-18 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* libltdl/Makefile.am (libtool): use it
* doc/libtool.texi (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): document it
* Makefile.am (libltdl.tar.gz): don't create it as part of the
build, since it is likely to become stale if we do
(install-data-hook): create and install libltdl.tar.gz, without
depending on GNU tar
Reported by Manfred Weichel <Manfred.Weichel@pdb.siemens.de>
1999-01-17 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* Makefile.am: added libltdl.tar.gz to CLEANFILES
* ChangeLog: some reformatting
* TODO: documentation updates

updated dlopen and -module documentation,
renamed -avoid-versioning to -avoid-version
documented the libtool script variables compiler_c_o,
compiler_o_lo, need_locks, old_postuninstall_cmds,
postuninstall_cmds, sys_lib_search_path_spec,
fix_srcfile_path, objdir, objext, libext,
documented the two new flags (--ltdl[-tar]) of libtoolize
* libltdl/Makefile.am: incremented the version, removed
libtool dependency so that it can be build independently
* libltdl/configure.in: removed LTDL_SHLIB_EXT hack,
set version to 1.0, use AM_MAINTAINER_MODE,
DLPREOPEN is always supported, check for libtool's objdir variable
(LTDL_OBJDIR)
* libltdl/ltdl.c: some cleanups (moved constants to the beginning
of the file and prefixed all of them with LTDL_, minor optimizations
in find_file() and find_module()), renamed lt_dlpreopen* to
lt_dlpreload* for consistency, removed LTDL_SHLIB_EXT hack,
we don't need unistd.h, DLPREOPEN is _always_ supported,
reverted Alexandre's lt_dlpreopen_default_ change,
try to open the not-installed module before the installed one,

* libltdl/ltdl.h: renamed lt_dlpreopen* to lt_dlpreload*
for consistency, removed the declaration of lt_preloaded_symbols
(should be imported by programs),
reverted Alexandre's lt_dlpreopen_default_ change and added
two new macros LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS and
LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS(),
added lt_dladdsearchdir(), lt_dlsetsearchpath() and
lt_dlgetsearchpath()
* libtool.m4: some reformatting
* libtoolize.in: implemented --ltdl, bugfix when checking for
the libtool package directory
* ltconfig.in: removed $thread_safe_flags from Andrey Slepuhin's
AIX patch, renamed sys_lib_search_path to sys_lib_search_path_spec,
some reformatting, fixed typo in deplibs_check_method (unkwnon)

* mdemo/main.c: use LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS and
LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS()
1999-01-17 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in (wlarc): set to either '${wl}' or an empty string,
depending on whether archive_cmds runs CC or LD
(gnu_ld=yes, whole_archive_flag_spec): "$wlarc" instead of '${wl}'
* mdemo/Makefile.am (../libltdl/libltdlc.la): depend on
../libtool, because ../libltdl/libtool depends on it
(mdemo_debug_*): copy from mdemo_*, adding -static to LDFLAGS
* ltmain.in (dlpredeps): append dependencies from dlopened modules
(but not dlpreopened ones) after all explicitly linked libraries
* ltconfig.in (need_lib_prefix, need_version,
deplibs_check_method): default to unknown, so that we're
remembered that this needs porting; unknown is interpreted as yes,
yes and none, respectively
(freebsd2*, freebsd3*, sunos4*, need_version): set to yes
(freebsd2*, freebsd3*, library_names_spec): libraries without a
version number are not used by `ld'; add $versuffix;
Reported by Ben Jackson <ben@ben.com>
* ltmain.in (deplibs_check_method): alias unknown to none
(need_version): if vinfo was not provided and release info was,
zero out versuffix only if we don't need_version.
* doc/libtool.texi: document what `unknown' means
* libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlpreopen_default): reverted to a macro
without arguments, that calls lt_dlpreopen_default_ with
lt_dlpreloaded_symbols
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlpreopen_default_): renamed from
lt_dlpreopen_default
(find_module) tryall_dlopen old_name first, so that we don't
override statically linked symbols with dlopened ones
1999-01-15 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
From Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>
* libtoolize.in (cd $pkgdatadir): Make sure we return the the
working directory when this is done.
From Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>
* ltconfig.in (aix): Use shared library support correctly on
aix4*, and tweak the config for aix3.
* NEWS: added aix3 and aix4 to list of hosts with improved
support.
* THANKS: added Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>.
1999-01-15 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* Makefile.am (@DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@): added a second '$'
before abs_scrdir, removed ltconfig and ltmain.sh from
EXTRA_DIST (automake distributes them by default)
1999-01-14 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* autogen: moved faking of the libtool scripts before
the call of automake, so that ltconfig and ltmain.sh
are included in the distribution
* ltconfig.in: when checking whether PIC is supported assume
only on HP/UX that warnings during compilation mean that
PIC is not supported (Thanks to Ron O'Hara)
* THANKS: added Ron O'Hara
1999-01-14 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* Makefile.am: Moved ltconfig and ltmain.sh back into srcdir, and
add them to the distribution. Added work-around if `mv -f' fails.
fix @AINCLUDE_M4_LIST@ and @DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@ for relative and
absolute specifications of srcdir
1999-01-14 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* libltdl/ltdl.c: added variable symbol prefix, added user-defined
library search path (can be set using lt_dlsearchpath()),
added default_preloaded_symbols which are independent of
lt_dlinit/exit

lt_dlpreopen_default()
* mdemo/Makefile.am: use -export-dynamic until libtool
and libltdl are able to handle module dependencies
1999-01-14 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* THANKS: added Mark Elbrecht.
* ltconfig.in (PATH_SEPARATOR): new variable to hold valid $PATH
separator characters for the build host, to support DJGPP
environment.
* ltconfig.in: Use PATH_SEPARATOR instead of hardcoded `:'.
Reported by Mark Elbrecht <snowball3@usa.net>
* cdemo/README: typo: mdemo->cdemo
1999-01-14 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* autogen: fake the libtool scripts to help fixing
the bootstrapping problem
* Makefile.am: always configure libltdl, however after building
the libtool scripts,
build the libtool scripts in builddir, not srcdir
(unfortunately this breaks building when srcdir!=objdir,
but it was just plain wrong - needs to be fixed),
build and install libltdl.tar.gz,
copy acinclude.m4 instead of linking them, so that we
can 'make dist' in libltdl,
fixed configuring of subdirectories
* configure.in: removed --enable-ltdl-install - libltdl is supposed
to be installed by packages, not by libtool itself
* libtoolize.in: new flags --ltdl and --ltdl-tar to install libltdl
in packages (--ltdl doesn't work yet),
install only the necessary libtool scripts, not just all
files in pkgdatadir
* mdemo/Makefile.am: removed the rule for libltdl configuration
1999-01-13 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* mdemo/Makefile.am (../libltdl/libtool): mkdir and configure
../libltdl
1999-01-13 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* demo/dlmain.c, libltdl/ltdl.c, ltconfig.in, ltmain.in,
doc/libtool.texi: renamed dld_preloaded_symbols to
lt_preloaded_symbols, symbol lists are 'const'
* cdemo/configure.in: don't check for string.h
* demo/dlmain.c: renamed dld_symlist to lt_symlist,
preloaded symbols are 'const', use lt_ptr_t instead of void*
* demo/foo.h: define lt_ptr_t
* doc/libtool.texi: document lt_preloaded_symbols correctly
* libltdl/Makefile.am, mdemo/Makefile.am: renamed libtest to libltdlc
* libltdl/ltdl.c: fixed some minor typos, renamed dldpre to presym,
bugfix: search in search_path only if we have no directory
and a search_path, in lt_dlsym() check whether symbol != 0
* libltdl/ltdl.h: removed lt_dlpreopen_default()
* ltconfig.in (dlpreopen): removed dld_preloaded_symbol_count
* ltmain.in: added help for -avoid-versioning, -export-symbols,
-module, add @SYMFILE@ if one of -export-dynamic, -dlopen or
-dlpreopen is used
* mail/deplibs.html: added Gordon Matzigkeit's inter-library
dependencies article
* mdemo/Makefile.am: removed -export-dynamic from LDFLAGS
(no longer necessary, since libtool defines lt_preloaded_symbols
when -dlopen is used), initialize with lt_preloaded_symbols
1999-01-13 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* doc/libtool.texi (Test descriptions): cdemo-static works, thanks
to Edouard Parmelan!
* THANKS: added Sebastian Wilhelmi
* ltconfig.in (solaris): define `need_version' to no
1999-01-13 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* ltconfig.in (solaris): Define `deplibs_check_method',
`file_magic_command', `need_lib_prefix' and `sys_lib_search_path'
* ltmain.in (file_magic_regex): Add space before matching pattern,
such that it works on solaris (solaris has a tab between the
library name (including the colon) and the `ELF' and such the
`ELF' will never be matched).
1999-01-13 Edouard G. Parmelan <Edouard.Parmelan@France.NCR.COM>
* ltconfig.in (NM): PATH search was not updated like in
libtool.m4, in last Alexandre Oliva's change to it
(sysv4*, ncr): pass all library dependencies
* ltmain.in (dependency_libs, -R): use `deplib' instead of `arg' to
iterate, otherwise we'd overwrite `arg'
(convenience, old_libs): if --disable-shared, convenience
libraries are just old archives, as .lo's are of no use
* tests/cdemo-static.test: print --disable-shared here
1999-01-13 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_shlibext, LTDL_SHLIB_EXT):
system-dependent extension of shared libraries
(libltdl_cv_shlibpath_var, LTDL_SHLIBPATH_VAR): system-dependent
run-time shared library search path
* libltdl/ltdl.c (dldpre_init, dldpre_exit): unrelate init/exit
from add/remove symlists, so one may add dld_preloaded_symbols
from main(), when only a library will call dldpre_init
(lt_dlopen): use LTDL_SHLIBPATH_VAR, if defined, as secondary
search path. Also, if a requested .la file cannot be found, try
with the LTDL_SHLIB_EXTension instead.
* ltmain.in (old_archives, oldobjs): use find to SYMDEF here too
* Makefile.am (@DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@): `$' must be doubled
* configure.in (AC_CONFIG_DIRS): configure only libltdl, and then,
only if --enable-ltdl-install
(CONF_SUBDIRS): list directories that are configured on demand,
but that must be included in the distribution
(ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST, DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST): generated from CONF_SUBDIRS
* Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): added version 1.3e and
readme-alpha, to handle README-alpha automatically
(EXTRA_DIST): removed README-alpha
(BUILD_SUBDIRS): subdirectories that are always built
(SUBDIRS): BUILD_SUBDIRS plus BUILD_LTDL
(DIST_SUBDIRS): BUILD_SUBDIRS plus CONF_SUBDIRS, from configure
(all-local, check-local): depend on $(ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST), from
configure, and libtool, so that it is built before subdirs
(configure-subdirs): new target
(configure-subdirs, distdir): depend on $(DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST),
from configure
(@DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@): create subdir if needed, then run
configure.
On-demand configuration of subdirs at distribution time was
suggested by Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): search for NM in PATH before
/usr/ccs/bin, /usr/ucb and /bin. However, if the found one isn't
BSD-compat keep searching. If no BSD-compat is found, use the
first we found.
* THANKS: added Raffaele Sena
1999-01-13 Raffaele Sena <raff@aromatic.com>
* libltdl/ltdl.c: replaced RTDL with RTLD
1999-01-13 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
* ltconfig.in (osf3*, osf4*, irix6*): include
${libname}{release}.so for library_names_spec
1999-01-13 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* tests/cdemo-static.test: disable shared libraries here
* tests/cdemo-shared.test: disable static libraries here
* doc/libtool.texi (Test descriptions): added cdemo tests
* THANKS: added Edouard G. Parmelan
1999-01-13 Edouard G. Parmelan <Edouard.Parmelan@France.NCR.COM>
* ltmain.in: fix convenience libraries when static libraries
are disables.
* cdemo/README, cdemo/Makefile.am, cdemo/configure.in, cdemo/foo.h,
cdemo/foo1.c, cdemo/main.c, cdemo/.cvsignore, test/cdemo-conf.test,
test/cdemo-make.test, test/cdemo-exec.test, test/cdemo-static.test:
new tests for convenience libraries.
* autogen, Makefile.am, test/Makefile.am: ditto.
* ltconfig.in, doc/PLATFORMS: Added support for NCR MP-RAS
(i586-ncr-sysv4.3*) with native compiler.
* README, doc/libtool.texi: Added note for NCR MP-RAS compiler.
1999-01-12 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltmain.in: before using LN_S remove the symlink
* libltdl/ltdl.c: support multiple symbol lists, moved library-
and file searching to separate functions, renamed "preload_libs"
to "dl_dependency_libs", set the LT_SYMBOL_OVERHEAD to the correct
value (7), fix to support lt_dlsym() for not-libtool modules again,
check for invalid handles, when using strdup() check whether
it fails
* libltdl/ltdl.h: declare the lt_dlsymlist type for lt_dlpreopen()
* mdemo/README: rewritten
* mdemo/configure.in: check only for math.h (string.h is no longer
necessary)
1999-01-12 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* configure.in (ltdl-install): Fixed up the indentation so that
`configure --help' is pretty again.
1999-01-11 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in, NEWS, doc/libtool.texi: Added support for -R flag
* ltmain.in, doc/libtool.texi: documented that -rpath is the same
as -R for programs
* ltmain.in: softened the instructions for linking with installed
libraries, and noted that libtool can be used to link with them;
documented that -rpath is not required for convenience libraries
* ltconfig.in (symxfrm): don't print $pipe_works twice, once for
each $ac_symprfx
Reported by Godmar Back <gback@cs.utah.edu>
* ltmain.in (convenience, libobjs): get only .o and .lo files from
the files extract from the convenience library. Some systems,
such as FreeBSD2, will add a SYMDEF file, that is not an object
file, and therefore should not be fed to the linker
* libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_NM_PARSE): while we are at it, we may well
cache the value of ac_cv_sys_symbol_underscore
* libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_NM_PARSE): need for underscore prefix is now
auto-detected, by trying first without, then with it.
* ltconfig.in: ditto
1999-01-10 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* configure.in (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): add libltdl, demo, mdemo and
depdemo commented out, so that `dist' works before `check'
(BUILD_LTDL): will contain libltdl if --enable-ltdl-install
* Makefile.am (DIST_SUBDIRS): expand SUBDIRS and add depdemo,
commented out
(SUBDIRS): add $(BUILT_LTDL)
* libltdl/Makefile.am (EXTRA_LTLIBRARIES): add libtest.la, the
same as libltdl but always a convenience library. Not built by
default. Both libraries now depend on the libtool script, that
depends on ../libtool and is rebuilt when needed
* mdemo/Makefile.am (mdemo, mdemo.debug): depend on and link with
../libltdl/libtest.la, that is rebuilt if needed
(mdemo_LDADD): removed $(LIBADD_M), to avoid silent failures
(foo1.la): renamed from libfoo1.la; test removing the lib prefix
* mdemo/foo1.c: renamed libfoo1_LTX symbols to foo1_LTX
* mdemo/main.c: don't include string.h nor math.h, nor refer to
sin nor cos
* tests/mdemo-exec.test: renamed libfoo1.la to foo1.la
* tests/mdemo-inst.test: ditto
* libltdl/ltdl.c (FILENAME_MAX): use it instead of MAX_FILENAME,
and don't redefine it if already defined; default to 1024, as on
most systems
(LT_SYMBOL_LENGTH): renamed from MAX_SYMBOL_LENGTH
(LT_SYMBOL_OVERHEAD): new macro, that accounts for the size of
the _LTX_ separator and the initial underscore
(lt_dlsym): sym now points to a stack buffer (lsym) if possible,
or is dynamically allocated. If allocation fails, a
buffer_overflow_error is returned.
1999-01-10 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltmain.in: define dld_preloaded_symbols if at least one of
-export-dynamic, -dlopen or -dlpreopen was specified,
do not include program objects in the symbol list
if -export-dynamic was not enabled
* libltdl/ltdl.c: limit symbols to max. 256 bytes
* mdemo/Makefile.am: build libltdl in a subdirectory,
do not use -export-dynamic for mdemo and mdemo.debug
* tests/mdemo-conf.test,tests/mdemo-make.test,tests/mdemo-inst.test:
do not check for libltdl
1999-01-09 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): missing strlen in bound test
1999-01-09 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* NEWS: support for BSD/OS 4.x was not documented
* demo/Makefile.am: link against libm only if available
* mdemo/Makefile.am: likewise, use -avoid-versioning flag
instead of -avoid-version (typo)
* demo/configure.in: check for libm, string.h and math.h
* mdemo/configure.in: likewise
* depdemo/configure.in: check for libm and math.h
* libltdl/configure.in: check for dlerror
* libltdl/ltdl.c: check for buffer overflows, implemented
dlerror, fixed a severe bug which occured when opening
non-libtool modules, dlopen with the flags GLOBAL and NOW
* mdemo/main.c: report the error using lt_dlerror()
1999-01-08 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* doc/libtool.texi (old_archive_from_new_commands): Documented
this ltcofig variable.
1999-01-07 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* ltmain.sh (cygwin, allow_undefined): Unfortunately, there are
problems with this variable when trying to make a dll which has
undefined symbols, in which case not even a static library is
built. For now, we need to specify -no-undefined on the libtool
link line when we can be certain that all symbols are satisfied,
otherwise we get a static library.
1999-01-06 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ChangeLog: merged in tests/ChangeLog
* tests/ChangeLog: deleted
* libltdl/ltdl.c: assigned copyright to the FSF
* libltdl/ltdl.h, mdemo/foo*,main.c: likewise
1999-01-06 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* ltmain.in (dllsearchpath): add absolute directory paths to
dllsearchpath so that the wrapper scripts can be called from any
directory (e.g. tests) on cygwin.
* ltconfig.in (cygwin, library_names_spec): revert Alexandre's
change from yesterday to use `-dll.a' suffix. That change caused
$libname-dll.a to be a symlink to $soname, which isn't even an
`ar' archive. Before the import library suffix can be changed, we
need to figure out how to handle building objects differently for
linking with an import library versus an equivalent static library.
* TODO: Added details of a Linux wrapper script bug.
Reported by Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>.
1999-01-05 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in (libobjs_save, oldobjs): when building an
old-fashioned archive, use a copy of libobjs saved before
convenience libraries are appended
* libltdl/ltdl.h (_LTDLL_EXPORT, _LTDLL_IMPORT): use cygwin or
unix library import/export primitives; this may be convenient for
people willing to create DLLs
(_LTDLL_EXTERN): select _LTDLL_EXPORT or _LTDLL_IMPORT depending
on _LTDL_COMPILE_
* libltdl/ltdl.h, libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlpreopen): new function,
that replaces the current preloaded_symbols list with its
argument, and returns the old value, initially NULL
(dldpre_init): don't refer to dld_preloaded_symbols any more
(dldpre_open, dldpre_sym): search preloaded_symbols
(lt_dlpreopen_default): call lt_dlpreopen with
dld_preloaded_symbols, that is declared as extern; it should be
called from the main program or from some static library without
-no-undefined
(lt_dlerror): new function, that returns the error message for the
last error occurred; the error message is kept in the static
variable last_error
* libltdl/configure.in (enable-ltdl-install): moved back from
enable-install; other packages might use enable-install already,
better have fine grained control over this.
* libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdls.la): discarded
1999-01-05 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* configure.in: do not configure libltdl by default
* Makefile.am: do not build libltdl by default
* libltdl/Makefile.am: ltdls.lo depends on libtool
* tests/Makefile.am: before starting the tests
make sure that libtool was build
* tests/mdemo-conf.test: configure libltdl
* tests/mdemo-make.test: build libltdl
1999-01-05 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in (SP2NL, NL2SP): Don't delete empty lines, as this
would lose for files with embedded blanks.
* ltconfig.in (cygwin, archive_cmds, archive_sym_cmds): Moved
ltdll.c into ltmain.in, to avoid its duplication, and added a sed
script to extract it. Also, create def and base files in $objdir,
and don't remove them after the compilation.
(cygwin, library_names_spec): Create static part of the dll with
suffix -dll.a, to avoid conflicts with actual static libraries.
* ltmain.in: Added ltdll.c, as commented out text
1999-01-01 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* NEWS: new BeOS support
* THANKS: added Joseph Beckenbach
* libltdl/ltdl.h: use dllimport/export on Win32
1998-12-31 Joseph Beckenbach III <jrb3@best.com>
* ltconfig.in: added support for BeOS
* ltmain.in (shlibpath_var): added a workaround for
an odd bug in the BeOS R4 sed
1998-12-31 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* verified all copyright notices
and updated them to 1999
* TODO: added some things that need to documented
* doc/libtool.texi: -export-symbols is not
supported on all platforms
* doc/PLATFORMS: added a few new platforms
1998-12-30 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* NEWS: updated
* THANKS: added Todd Vierling <tv@pobox.com>
1998-12-30 Todd Vierling <tv@pobox.com>
* ltconfig.in: improved shared object handling on both
a.out and ELF platforms for NetBSD
1998-12-29 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltconfig.in: do not rely on a leading space when concatenating
variables as suggested by Erez Zadok
* ltmain.in: likewise
* doc/PLATFORMS: updated and reformatted
(thanks to Erez Zadok for the testing)
1998-12-27 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* THANKS: added Erez Zadok <ezk@shekel.mcl.cs.columbia.edu>
1998-12-26 Erez Zadok <ezk@shekel.mcl.cs.columbia.edu>
* ltconfig.in: support i486-ncr-sysv4.3.03
shared libraries.
* ltmain.in: before every ln -s, remove the link name
1998-12-25 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* depdemo/configure.in: removed last relics of demo
* depdemo/sysdep.h: ditto
* mdemo/Makefile.am: ditto
* libltdl/Makefile.am: fixed the version number, build libltdls if
-enable-install and -enable-dlpreopen are enabled
* libltdl/configure.in: libltdl is version 0.1, not 1.0,
renamed -enable-ltdl-install to -enable-install,
conditionals for libltdls, check for strchr and index,
replaced NULL with 0
* libltdl/ltdl.c: replaced NULL with 0, dlpreopen only if
USE_DLPREOPEN was defined, integrated shl_load code from GModule
(still untested)
1998-12-24 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* libltdl/configure.in: fixup spacing in --enable-ltdl-install
help string so that it lines up nicely for configure --help.
* ltmain.in (dllsearchpath): keep track of what the dll search path
will need to be in the wrapper scripts as deplibs are calculated.
Make sure the wrapper script doesn't end in `.exr', which makes
win32 try to execute it as a binary!
Add the contents of dllsearchpath to $PATH in the wrapper script.
Use the relative path to the wrapped program so that the dll
search path is calculated properly by win32 OSes.
* TODO: removed the item for making wrapper scripts work on win32.
* TODO: removed the reference to making libltdl and demo work on
win32. They *do* work now that wrapper scripts are functioning.
* ltmain.in (file_magic_command): It turns out that if the
file_magic_command generates huge output (e.g. running `objdump
-f' over a large import lib [say libX11.a]) the expr to check it
against the file_magic_regex blows up. There is now an optimistic
heuristic, to save only the first 10 lines of running
file_magic_command which (at risk of sounding like Bill) should be
enough for anyone =)O|.
* ltmain.in: Set the compile_dependencylibs and dllsearchpath for
non-libtool libs, or else libdeps only works between ltlibs for
cygwin32.
1998-12-23 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in (SP2NL, NL2SP): use `tr' magic to avoid passing very
long lines to sed
* doc/libtool.texi (sed): very long lines are no longer a problem
* libltdl/Makefile.am: install libltdl conditionally...
* libltdl/configure.in: ... if --enable-ltdl-install is issued
* libltdl/ltdl.c: removed #ifdef DEBUG
* mdemo/Makefile.am (mdemo_debug_LDADD, mdemo_debug_DEPENDENCIES):
use libltdl.la
1998-12-23 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* doc/PLATFORMS: added my cygwin32 box (i686-pc-cygwin32).
* TODO: remind myself of the win32 tasks remaining.
* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds, archive_sym_cmds,
old_archive_from_new_cmds): Fixed a bug which left an a.exe in the
build directory. Fixed a bug where $soname-def was never deleted.
* ltconfig.in (file_magic_command): new variable holds the command
(including any args) to run to generate the string to match
against the regex in $file_magic. Use the variable where
necessary. Added to libtool header output.
(deplibs_check_method): use file_magic for win32, but compare the
output of `objdump -f' with the regex (see below).
(archive_cmds, archive_sym_cmds): use compile_dependencylibs for
each $CC invokation (see below).
* ltmain.in: Set allow_undefined to `no' for win32 variants by
default, otherwise it is impossible to link a dll without forcing
the makefile maintainer to figure out whether to pass
--no-undefined at every libtool invokation.
(compile_dependencylibs): save the list of dependency library
flags needed for a deplib build on win32.
(link_against_libtool_libs): commented out the check for this; if
it is left in, then ltlibs (i.e. *.la files) cannot be deplibs for
subsequent links.
Don't add -lc to the deplibs line for win32 platforms (which don't
have a libc as such).
(file_magic_command): use this to get some output to compare with
the file_magic regex (instead of hardcoding `file' which doesn't
exist on win32.
* doc/libtool.texi (Porting inter-library dependencies): Updated
to document the changes above.
* ltconfig.in (deplibs_check_method): Changed the file_magic regex
to match more linux variants. This is less lenient than Thomas
Tanner's commit to fix the same problem below.
Reported by Joel Klecker <espy@debian.org>
* THANKS: added Joel Klecker <espy@debian.org>
1998-12-23 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltconfig.in: fixed file-magic for Linux shared libraries
* ltmain.in: removed the unused -force-static flag
* libltdl/ltdl.c: added strchr, search modules in LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH,
check whether actual module was already dlopened,
read in preload_libs rather than dependency_libs
1998-12-23 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* libltdl/Makefile.am: build two versions of libltdl:
libltdl (support native dlopen if available, otherwise dlpreopen),
libltdls (like libltdl, but always support for dlpreopen)
* libltdl/ltdl.c: ditto
* libltdl/configure.in: warn if dlopen is not supported
* mdemo/Makefile.am (mdemo.debug): use libltdls
1998-12-22 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* ltconfig.in: revert Thomas Tanners change to create all
libraries without the `lib' prefix on win32, otherwise `gcc foo.c
-lbar' can't find libbar.a.
1998-12-22 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): prepend `.' to avoid am-recursive
dependency hack
1998-12-21 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltconfig.in: indentation is now 8 character wide tabs
* ltmain.in: ditto
* ChangeLog: ditto
* ltmain.in: renamed check_shared_deplibs_method to
deplibs_check_method (we_dont_want_too_long_variable_names :)
* doc/libtool.texi (Porting inter-library dependencies): ditto
* depdemo/.cvsignore: renamed hell* to depdemo*, added *.lo,*.la
* mdemo/.cvsignore: ditto
1998-12-21 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_NM_PARSE): apparently __ptr_t is predefined
on some systems - use lt_ptr_t instead.
* ltconfig.in: ditto.
* ltmain.in: ditto.
* libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE): use an AC_SUBST to pass
the result of this into the compile rather than AC_DEFINE which
breaks when building with older versions of autoconf.
* ltconfig.in (symxfrm): Don't put the leading underscore back
with the global_symbol_pipe.
* demo/dlmain.c (main): No need to specialcase underscores in
dld_preloaded_symbols - it is fixed by symxfrm above!
* libltdl/configure.in: use AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE from
libtool.m4 rather than reinvent the wheel here =)O|
* ltmain.in: Fix deplibs methods to not rely on a.out (cygwin
uses a.exe!).
* libltdl/configure.in: Cleanups - fix header comment and emacs
local-vars.
* demo/dlmain.c (win32_force_data_import_address): a nasty hack
to force the address of imported data symbols into
dld_preloaded_symbols on win32, which does data imports
differently to function imports (sheesh!). This functionality
needs to be moved into the dld_preloaded_symbols generation code.
demo/helldl with static linking is broken on win32 by this change,
probably until after libtool-1.3 =(O|
* demo/foo.h: make sure __CYGWIN32__ is always defined on cygwin32
systems. Use the correct __declspec macro for lib exports/imports
on cygwin32.
* demo/foo.c, demo/hello.c: Make sure we tell foo.h that these
sources are inside libfoo, and want to export symbols.
1998-12-20 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* autogen: configure demo, depdemo, libltdl and mdemo
* tests/mdemo-exec.test: renamed hell* to mdemo*
* tests/mdemo-inst.test: ditto
1998-12-19 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* libltdl/Makefile.am: build a normal libtool library
* libltdl/ltdl.c: get LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH but don't make use of it yet,
some reformatting
* ltmain.in: fixed a bug which listed symbols in
dld_preloaded_symbols twice
* TODO: removed symbol export lists and deplibs
1998-12-18 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltconfig.in: added need_lib_prefix and need_version,
which determine whether we must prefix modules with 'lib'
and whether versioning is required for libraries.
* ltmain.in: allow modules names without 'lib' prefix,
new -avoid-versioning option
* doc/libtool.texi (link flags): updated documentation for -module,
added -avoid-versioning
* doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents):
documented the two new flags and archive_sym_cmds
* doc/libtool.texi (tests):
added (partially very short) documentation for assign.test,
nomode.test, quote.test, sh.test
* libltdl/ltdl.c: canonicalize module names,
some cleanups and bugfixes, __ptr_t is predefined on
some systems - use lt_ptr_t instead
* mdemo/: renamed hell* to mdemo* (hell is already used in
demo), updated the documentation, import sin and cos in main
program rather than linking libfoo1 statically
1998-12-17 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Added AC_PREREQ(2.12) to prevent
people using libtool with old autoconfs that don't provide the
features we need.
1998-12-16 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* NEWS, configure.in, libtool.spec: Bumped to 1.2e for CVS
* NEWS, configure.in, libtool.spec: Bumped to 1.2d for release
* Makefile.am (cvs-dist): our release tags are in lower case
(cvs-diff): ditto
(EXTRA_DIST): added README-alpha
* README-alpha: minor adaptations
* demo/Makefile.am, mdemo/Makefile.am, depdemo/Makefile.am:
removed comment about special needs for distribution
* depdemo/Makefile.am: don't generate dependencies
* depdemo/configure.in: modified version number
* ltmain.in (-force-static, force_static): removed
* libltdl/Makefile.am (CFLAGS): ditto
* libltdl/configure.in: check for memory.h, rindex() and
dlpreopening. Fixed NEED_USCORE caching policy.
* libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlsym): make the name argument const
* libltdl/ltdl.c (types): new variable: head of list of available
dlopening mechanisms
(lt_dltype_t): interface of a dlopening mechanism, with pointers
to functions for init, exit, open, close and sym
(lt_dlhandle_t): added pointer to interface type
(strdup): don't name it strdup; it can be troublesome
(strrchr): ditto; use rindex if available
(LIBTOOL_STATIC): check HAVE_DLPREOPEN instead, and move to the
end of the file, so that it becomes the header of the list
(all): renamed all interface-implementation functions, to avoid
name clashes, and created lt_dltype_t nodes for all of them
(lt_dlinit): initialize all available interfaces; remove those
that fail from the list. Return failure only if no interfaces
could be initialized.
(lt_dlexit): return number of failures
(tryall_dlopen): try to open the library with all available
interfaces
(lt_dlopen): use tryall_dlopen; increased size of fixed buffers.
We should probably make these bound-checked or dynamically
allocated for the final release! Fix bug when filename did not
contain slashes; should we check for `\\' too? Try old_library if
everything else fails.
(lt_dlclose): use the interface type for closing
(lt_dlsym): make `symbol' const, use interface type for looking up
* mdemo/Makefile.am: moved mdemo/modules/* back into mdemo
(SUBDIRS): removed
(libfoo2_la_LDFLAGS): added -static; nice test. However, since it
causes -lm to linked into hell*, it causes tests that should fail
to pass
(noinst_HEADERS): no need to install foo.h
* mdemo/configure.in: remove modules/Makefile
tests/mdemo-exec.test: updated accordingly
* NEWS: Added Thomas Tanner and Gary V. Vaughan to the list of new
maintainers. Detailed expected failures of libtldl+mdemo. Listed
recent ports. Added full URL for the home page. Note that
libtool C program is unusable.
1998-12-16 Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>
* doc/libtool.texi (Tested platforms): broken `sed' programs
1998-12-16 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* THANKS: added Stephan Kulow; removed Gary V. Vaughan and Thomas
Tanner, now that they're AUTHORS
1998-12-16 Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>
* ltmain.in (freebsd-aout, freebsd-elf): added missing dot to
versuffix
1998-12-16 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): removed, nothing needed
(libtool): automatically update
* libltdl/configure.in (stdlib.h, unistd.h, stdio.h): check
* libltdl/ltdl.c: include them
* demo/configure.in (BINARY_HELLDL): test whether dlopen is
supported at configure time
* demo/Makefile.am (helldl): use automake conditionals to build
helldl as a script or as a binary program
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): remove ltdl-*.test
(clean-local): don't clean libltdl any more
* tests/ltdl-conf.test: removed
* tests/ltdl-inst.test: ditto
* tests/ltdl-make.test: ditto
* tests/ltdl-unst.test: ditto
* tests/mdemo-make.test: updated accordingly
* tests/mdemo-inst.test: ditto
* tests/mdemo-unst.test: ditto
* doc/libtool.texi: ditto
* ltmain.in (-DSTATIC): changed to -DLIBTOOL_STATIC, and defined
only for -force-static; it should be removed soon, before people
start to use it
* configure.in (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): added libltdl
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): build libltdl by default
(DIST_SUBDIRS): simplify distribution of demo and mdemo
(libtool, clibtool, libtoolize, ltconfig, ltmain.sh): add
srcdir where appropriate
(ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST): new rule for maintaining links from
acinclude.m4 to libtool.m4
(*demo/Makefile.in): don't update autoconf/automake files any
more; make check is needed
1998-12-14 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): tweaked for cygwin b18->b20.1
compatibility and fixed a bug with generating the export
definitions file. This is only tested on b20.1, but should
work back to b18 at least.
1998-12-11 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltmain.in: -module implies now -export-dynamic,
dlpreopen files if we're linking statically
* doc/libtool.texi (link flags): added documentation for -module
and the tests for mdemo and libltdl
* mdemo/Makefile.am: replaced -dlpreopen with -dlopen
1998-12-09 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* PORTING: removed the text Akim Demaille converted to .texi
1998-12-09 Akim Demaille <demaille@inf.enst.fr>
* doc/libtool.texi: converted inter-library dependencies
instructions from PORTING
1998-12-09 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in (convenience, deplibs): propagate dependencies
* libltdl/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): don't install ltdl.h yet
(noinst_LTLIBRARIES): ditto for libltdl.la
1998-12-08 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* README-alpha: adapted the release procedure from
automake/HACKING.
* Makefile.am: adapted the cvs-dist and cvs-diff rules from
automake/Makefile.am. I guess this is probably safe to use
already, but I didn't test it as it tags the CVS tree. If
it needs tweaking, we'll find out come 1.2d.
1998-12-08 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltconfig.in: fixed some typos in archive_sym_cmds
* ltmain.in: replaced basename with a sed expression
1998-12-07 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* configure.in: we no longer use PRCS
* doc/libtool.texi (author): listed all the AUTHORS
(Dlopen issues): added reference to libltdl, still undocumented
(C++ libraries): it's not *that* simple, after all :-(
(Inter-library dependencies): they're back!
1998-12-04 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libtool.m4 (ac_cv_sys_symbol_underscore): `test a == b' doesn't
work, use `test a = b' instead
* Makefile.am (mdemo_distfiles): libfoo[12].sym no longer exist
* ltconfig.in (solaris): do not use $CC for linking if GNU ld is
not available
1998-12-04 Manfred Weichel <Manfred.Weichel@pdb.siemens.de>
* ltconfig.in: Port to SCO UnixWare 7.x.
1998-12-03 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ChangeLog: converted CR/LF back to CR format
* ltconfig.in: new variable sys_lib_search_path for searching
of installed libraries, export archive_sym_cmds and
sys_lib_search_path
* ltmain.in: use sys_lib_search_path, removed extradeplibs
(they're not portable)
1998-12-02 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* libltdl/configure.in: look for string.h or else strings.h, and
also check for ANSI strrchr() function. Fix `undescore before
symbols' macro to not rely on a.out (cygwin uses a.exe!). Fix
`underscore for dlsym' to set cache variable properly, not just in
environment of AC_DEFINE(NEED_USCORE).
* libltdl/ltdl.h (__ptr_t): for K&R compatibility using char*.
* libltdl/ltdl.c (strrchr): fallback function incase none is
defined in libc.
(trim, ltdlopen): replace rindex with ANSI strrchr.
Add static function declarations so that we get type checking with
ANSI compilers. Use __ptr_t instead of void*.
1998-12-01 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltconfig.in: added -export-symbols support for GNU ld and
Solaris (untested), archive_sym_cmds for -export-symbols
* doc/libtool.texi, ltmain.in: -export-symbols is now
independent from -export-dynamic and does not work for modules
anymore
* ltmain.in: added some checks for -export-symbols
* mdemo/modules/Makefile.am: replaced -export-symbols with
-export-dynamic since it doesn't work for modules
1998-12-01 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* README: Updated homepage pointer to gnu libtool page.
* ltconfig.in (ltdll.c): update the ltdll.c file for cygwinb20.
Based on code from Mumit Khan <khan@xraylith.wisc.edu>.
(archive_cmds): correct typo libtool.c->ltdll.c. Update shell
commands for cygwin32.
* libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE): New macro; find out
whether compiled symbols have an extra leading underscore.
(AM_SYS_NM_PARSE): New macro (converted to m4 from ltconfig.in);
find a sed expression to parse global symbols from the output of
$NM.
(AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): require AM_SYS_NM_PARSE and
AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE.
* demo/dlmain.c (main): Remove a single leading underscore from
compiled symbol names if necessary.
1998-12-01 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* config.guess, config.sub: imported from autoconf pre-2.13
1998-11-27 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* libtool (AM_PROG_LD): Oops... we need to know the host_os for
the changes below. I'm not sure whether mingw32 and os2 support
UNC paths, if they did we wouldn't need the check, we could use
UNC paths on all three; or if the bug with $LD not being
shell-meta escaped was fixed, we could use '\\' separators on all
three. AC_REQUIRE'ed AC_CANONICAL_HOST.
* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LD): Cannonicalize the absolute path for the
ld program; The order is funny to provide canonicalization to
paths with '\\' separators as well as '/'.
* ltconfig.in: ditto.
* AUTHORS: Added myself as a co-maintainer.
* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): The `;\' in a compound statement is
expanded wrongly for cygwin32, mingw32, aix3 and aix4. Changed to
`;'.
1998-11-25 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libtool.spec (URL): point to www.gnu.org
(Source): point to ftp.gnu.org
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): removed libtool.prj
Reported by Akim Demaille <demaille@inf.enst.fr>
1998-11-24 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in (echo): avoid shell error messages when we're
testing for large command line support
Reported by Axel Thimm <Axel.Thimm@physik.fu-berlin.de>
* doc/PLATFORMS: updated last-tested release for platforms I've
got access to
* THANKS: added Chris P. Ross
1998-11-24 Chris P. Ross <cross@eng.us.uu.net>
* ltconfig.in: added recognition of the dynamic linker on BSD/OS 4.x
* README: added BSD/OS 4.x to the list of supported platforms
* doc/PLATFORMS: added BSD/OS 4.x support for various host id's
1998-11-24 David Heine <dlheine@truffle.Stanford.EDU>
* ltmain.in (pass_all): actively pass the flags
1998-11-24 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* depdemo: added inter-library dependencies demo (doesn't work yet!)
* AUTHORS: added myself to the list of maintainers
1998-11-22 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* libltdl: added support for .la files, LGPL license,
K&R compatibility, some API changes and bugfixes
* ltmain.in: renamed -module flag (for compiling) to -force-static,
define -DSTATIC when compiling static .o files,
do not include directories in dld_preloaded_symbols
* mdemo: modified mdemo to work with the new libltdl
* tests/mdemo-exec.test, tests/mdemo-inst.test: use .la files
1998-11-21 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libltdl/ltdl.c: replace NULL with 0, so that we don't depend on
header files defining it.
* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds, osf3, osf4, solaris, sunos4): create
libraries with gcc -shared if using gcc without GNU ld.
* ltconfig.in: replaced occurrences of solaris2 with solaris, to
prepare for Solaris 7
1998-11-19 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* mdemo/Makefile.am (hell_debug_LDFLAGS): -dlpreopen -> -dlopen
(hell_LDFLAGS): added -export-dynamic and -dlopen
(SUBDIRS, INCLUDES): added modules directory
(foo1.c, foo2.c, foo.h, libfoo1.sym, libfoo2.sym): moved to modules
* Makefile.am: ditto
* tests/mdemo-exec.test, tests/mdemo-inst.test: libraries moved
* mdemo/modules/Makefile.am: new file
* */Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): added no-dependencies
* ltmain.in: missing `test' between `&&' and `"$module"'
* ltconfig.in (echo_test_string): the whole ltconfig script was
too much for DU4.0's ksh, but the first 50 lines will be enough.
* ltmain.in (installed): new variable defined within a .la file,
so that libtool can now link already-installed libraries into a
program.
* NEWS: ditto
* doc/libtool.texi (Linking executables): document it
* ltmain.in (output_objdir): compute it from $output, not $arg
* tests/mdemo-inst.test (libltdl): install it
* tests/mdemo-unst.test (libltdl): uninstall it
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): list ltdl-unst.test before mdemo-conf.test
1998-11-18 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* NEWS: -module and libtldl
* mdemo/Makefile.am: ../libltdl is within $(srcdir)
1998-11-18 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* libltdl, Makefile.am: added libltdl (a system independent
dlopen wrapper library extracted from mdemo)
* ltmain.in: added -module flag for compiling and linking of
modules. If enabled it compiles always both .o (with -DLT_RENAME)
and .lo files
* mdemo: modified mdemo to work with libltdl
* tests/ltdl*: added tests for libltdl
1998-11-16 Steve Price <sprice@hiwaay.net>
* ltconfig.in: when $host_os is freebsd[23]* determine whether
the current linker format is a.out or ELF
* ltmain.in: add two new $version_type's, freebsd-aout and
freebsd-elf, to support above change
1998-11-16 Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>
* ltconfig.in: extent no_builtin_flag to contain -fno-rtti and
-fno-exceptions in case we compile with a gcc, that supports
this options (egcs and gcc >= 2.8)
1998-11-16 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in (C_compiler): copy $CC before it is overwritten with
command-line compiler, so that we can use it to compile C sources
generated during the build. This fixes the problem that showed up
with -export-dynamic of C++ programs in egcs 1.1.
* NEWS: ditto
1998-11-12 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* PORTING: Porting instructions are in the libtool manual already
* NEWS: Mention -export-symbols and new dlpreopen
1998-11-11 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in (IFS): revert Gary's patch when parsing version
information; we still use `:' here :-)
* NEWS: updated
* PORTING: new file, with general instructions and inter-library
dependencies tips
1998-11-11 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* ltconfig.in: make use of '~' field separator in reload_cmds,
old_archive_from_new_cmds, old_archive_cmds, archive_cmds,
old_postinstall_cmds, postinstall_cmds, old_postuninstall_cmds,
postuninstall_cmds and finish_cmds, so that the semi-colons inside
if/then/else/fi and for/do/done etc. do not break the eval loop in
ltmain.in (below).
* ltmain.in: changed all of the eval loops to use an IFS of `~',
to allow differentiation between the end-of-statement-;
(now `~' is used) and end-of-substatement-; (still `;'). This
fixes AIX and win32 at least.
1998-11-11 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in (sunos*, sympat, symxfrm): remove underscore
prepended by the compiler
1998-11-10 Toshio Kuratomi <badger@prtr-13.ucsc.edu>
* ltconfig.in: re-enable deplibs
* ltmain.in: support deplibs, at least for GNU/Linux/x86
Updated to current libtool by Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
1998-11-10 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@trick.fig.org>
* ltmain.in (link): Make the relink warning less harsh.
1998-11-07 William M. Perry <wmperry@aventail.com>
* ltconfig.in (aix3, aix4): uniquify symbol names in archive_cmds
1998-11-07 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in: add --falback-echo, to be used if everything else
fails. The tests now check the behavior of $echo for very large
strings, because some echo commands would just core dump (e.g.,
Solaris' printf). If too large strings fail, smaller ones are
tested.
(ltecho): arrange that, if the --fallback-echo method is selected,
echo will be defined in the libtool script so as to re-run itself,
not ltconfig
* ltmain.in: add --fallback-echo
(qecho) ensure that, if --falback-echo is being used, qecho is
defined with the full pathname of the libtool script
* tests/sh.test (test X): ensure that the double-quote supposed to be
reported is really reported
1998-11-07 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>

1998-11-04 Gary V. Vaughan <gvaughan@oranda.demon.co.uk>
* demo/configure.in: added AC_EXEEXT macro so that the tests can
work on cywin32/mingw32 hosts. This requires the current CVS
autoconf
1998-11-04 Thomas Tanner <tanner@gmx.de>
* ltmain.in: New flag -export-symbols; new dlpreopen system
* demo/dlmain.c: removed dld_preloaded_symbol_count
1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltmain.in: On installation, don't get confused if the same name
appears more than once in the list of library names.
1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltconfig.in: Add objext and libext variables. Check for object
suffix. Check for mingw32* as well as cygwin32*. Use objext when
testing compiler. Add support for Visual C++ on cygwin32 when not
using gcc. Add objext, libext, and fix_srcfile_path to generated
libtool script.
* ltmain.in: Use .${objext} rather than .o. Use fix_srcfile_path
if it is set. Check for .obj as well as for .o, and for .lib as
well as for .a. Use .${libext} rather than .a when creating old
libraries.
* libtoolize.in: Change initial /bin/sh to @SHELL@.
* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Add AC_REQUIRE for
AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, so that autoconf doesn't get mixed up by the
AC_REQUIRE in AC_CHECK_TOOL.
1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltconfig.in: Look in the right directory for libtool.c in
archive_cmds for cygwin32.
1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltconfig.in: Fix cygwin32 support to avoid using a double
extension, to delete the def file, to set version_type to windows,
and to include versuffix in the DLL name.

1998-11-04 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* libtool.m4 (sco): fix typo
1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltconfig.in: On AIX, don't treat GNU ld specially.
1998-11-04 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in (hardcode_minus_L): Revert Ian's patch for
ltconfig.in. Although -L hardcoding is not used with GNU ld, it
does happen, so hardcode_minus_L must be set to yes.
* ltconfig.in (compiler_o_lo): check whether we can write directly
to a .lo
* ltmain.in (compiler_o_lo): if not, write to .o and rename it
1998-11-04 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltconfig.in: For sunos4 using GNU ld, set hardcode_minus_L to
no.
* ltmain.in: Add some hacks to make SunOS --enable-shared work
when using GNU ld.
1998-11-04 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* THANKS: Added Marc J. Fraioli
1998-11-04 Marc J. Fraioli <fraioli@dg-rtp.dg.com>
* ltconfig.in (dgux): new supported platforms
1998-11-04 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltconfig.in (need_locks): if neither `-c -o' nor hard links are
available, fallback to not so safe mechanism, by setting
need_locks to warn
* ltmain.in (need_locks): when need_locks is set to warn, use the
lockfile to try to fail in case of incorrect concurrent builds
* THANKS: Added Eric Estievenart
1998-11-04 Eric Estievenart <eric@via.ecp.fr>
* doc/libtool.texi (Compile mode): Document that -o is fully
supported.

1998-11-03 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in: correctly create libraries and programs with
directory components in their names
1998-11-03 Eric Estievenart <eric@via.ecp.fr>
* ltmain.in (output_obj): typo
1998-11-02 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltconfig.in: For sunos4, add ${libname}.so$versuffix to
library_names_spec.
* ltmain.in: For version_type of sunos, set versuffix even if
-version-info was not used.
1998-11-02 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* ltmain.in (libobj): default value must not contain directory
components
1998-11-02 Eric Estievenart <eric@via.ecp.fr>
* ltconfig.in (compiler): detect if the compiler supports
-c and -o flags, create a variable compiler_c_o. Also issue
a big warning if it is not supported
* ltmain.in (compile): enable the -o option as input for libtool.
The objects are not moved if the compiler supports -o with -c.
Sources and objects can contain relative directories.
(link): enable the linking of executables into relative directories
1998-11-02 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* AUTHORS: added myself as a co-maintainer
* THANKS: and removed my name from here
* autogen: new script; run it to bootstrap libtool after checking
it out from CVS
* libtool.m4 (CFLAGS): check whether -belf is needed on SCO, as
suggested by Robert Lipe <robertl@dgii.com>
1998-10-31 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@trick.fig.org>
* demo/Makefile.am (hc-libpath): Use parameters from the libtool
in the top build directory, since the one in the demo directory is
not guaranteed to exist.
1998-10-27 Alexandre Oliva <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
* demo/Makefile.am (objdir): there are no longer quotes around
objdir in the libtool script
1998-10-27 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@trick.fig.org>
* ltconfig.in (dynamic_linker): Echo the result to fd 6, so that
--silent works correctly. From William M. Perry.
1998-09-24 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@trick.fig.org>
* ltmain.in (link): Fix problems when building only static
libraries. From Owen Taylor.
1998-08-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@trick.fig.org>

avoid deleting the main library when installing symlinks. From
Jeff Dairiki.
(link): Get rid of backticks in a here doc comment.
This causes segfaults on Solaris 2. From Aleksandar Bakic.
(finish): Don't display messages
* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): On HP-UX 9, make sure we don't try
to move a file to itself. From Jeff Dairiki.
1998-08-19 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@trick.fig.org>

1998-06-30 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@trick.fig.org>
* ltmain.in: Convenience archive support. From Ulrich Drepper.
* ltconfig.in (postinstall_commands): Change libraries to be
executable on Solaris in order to prevent ldd from moaning. From
Julian Gosnell.
(whole_archive_flag_spec): New variable to shortcut convenience
archive expansion. From Ulrich Drepper.
1998-06-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: Change globs to accept forward slashes
in absolute directory names used on DOS-like systems. From Robert
S. Maier.
Thu May 28 18:59:08 1998 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltconfig.in: Use $SHELL when invoking shell scripts.
1998-05-21 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltmain.in (compile): Don't have `-static' turn off libtool
libraries, so that people can use it just to guarantee that `.o'
files exist. Suggested by David Mosberger-Tang.
1998-05-18 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltmain.in (link): Possibly reexec the shell from within the
wrapper script.
Allow `-version-info' and `-release' to coexist again. If people
want to shoot themselves in the foot, I'd better let them do so,
so that people who are smart enough not to can squeeze out another
ounce of functionality. From Tim Janik.
(version_vars): Delete dead variable.
* ltconfig.in (hardcode_minus_L): FreeBSD 3.0 doesn't hardcode, at
last. Reported by Jason Nordwick.
* libtoolize.in, ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: Change a bunch of `if
test ...; then : ; else ...' constructs to `if test ! ...; then
...', for clarity.
1998-05-17 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltmain.in (LC_ALL, LANG): Save these values and restore them
during execute mode. From Pavel Kankovsky.
(mode): Accept strace and truss as programs that throw us into
execute mode. From Pavel Kankovsky.
1998-05-07 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* ltconfig.in: Don't use .$versuffix or .$major. Instead, assume
the variable will include any required prefix.
* ltmain.in: If no -version-info option was used, produce empty
version strings rather than 0.0.0. When making library symlinks,
avoid making a symlink if the name would be the same.
1998-04-27 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltmain.in (link): Support `unsupported' as a hardcode_action.
Reported by Lars Hecking.
(lib_linked): Do some sanity checking to make sure that we
actually do link libtool libraries into the program to prevent the
above problem from happening again.
1998-04-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltmain.in: Maybe reexec under $SHELL, if $echo doesn't work.
Reported by Lars Hecking.
1998-04-19 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* Makefile.am (maintainer-rekey): New rule to force us to change
Project-Version after we make a release. This keeps all version
numbers in sync, rather than branching just before the release.
(maintainer-release, maintainer-checkin): Use maintainer-rekey.
* ltmain.in (finish): Notice when a finish command fails, so that
we can add it to the list of recommendations.
1998-04-17 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Append file descriptor 5 to
config.log, so that configure doesn't clobber the messages that
ltconfig put there. From David Taylor.
1998-04-15 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): Try using `$CC -shared' when
configuring for GCC under irix5 and irix6. From Wolfram Gloger.
(ofile): Add `--output' flag to change the name of the generated
libtool. Suggested by Wolfram Gloger.
1998-04-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltmain.in: Remove all hardcoded references to ltmain.in in
favour of $PACKAGE and $PROGRAM.
(install): Compute the installation name for programs, in case we
install a relinked file which has a different name. Reported by
Pieter Schoenmakers.
* ltconfig.in (echo): Try using the ksh(1) `print -r' builtin
command, before reverting to printf(1).
* Makefile.am (libtool): Use $(SHELL) when invoking ltconfig.
* ltconfig.in (echo): Rewrite the test for a working echo so that
we win on Solaris by avoiding printf(1), if possible.
* tests/quote.test (echo): Update the echo test from ../ltconfig.in.
1998-04-13 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_NM): Don't override NM in the environment.
1998-04-13 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltmain.in: New `--config' flag to print out all configured
variables.
* libtool.m4: Pass ltconfig the undocumented --no-reexec flag,
since we call it explicitly using CONFIG_SHELL.
* ltconfig.in: Restart the script under a different shell if
CONFIG_SHELL is not /bin/sh. This way, people can use Bash if
they don't have a working echo program.
* ltmain.in, ltconfig.in: Use $SHELL instead of /bin/sh when
generating executable scripts.
* libtoolize.in, ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: Implement the `--debug'
flag to begin shell tracing.
* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): Don't use `gcc -shared', even if we
have GNU ld. Reported by Robert S. Maier.
1998-04-06 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in (pic_flag): Create more than just a null C file, so
that the SunPRO 4.2 cc doesn't complain. From Bob Friesenhahn.
(gnu_ld_acts_native): Delete this variable. There is just too
much version skew to try to pretend GNU ld is the same as the
system ld. Reported by Ian Lance Taylor.
(hardcode_action): Don't bother relinking or aborting on systems
that are too dynamic to have a consistent hardcode method.
Reported by Doug Winterburn.
1998-03-24 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* doc/libtool.texi: A little proofreading. From Albert
Chin-A-Young.
1998-03-23 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in: Treat HP-UX 11 just like HP-UX 10. From Jeff Law.
1998-03-21 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in (reload_flag): Correct a tiny bug where `--silent'
would still print out the reload flag. From Stephan Kulow.
1998-03-20 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* libtool.m4: Use changequote to avoid problems with square
bracket patterns.
1998-03-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* Release 1.2.
1998-03-18 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltmain.in: Rearrange some of the echos to make them more
consistent.
1998-03-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltmain.in: Break up an echo command that causes Solaris printf
to dump core. Apparently the Solaris people hardcoded a 2110-byte
buffer into their printf(1). Feh. From John Judge.
1998-03-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in: Change the test for the PIC compiler flag so that
we assume it doesn't work if there are any warning messages. This
fixes a bug using old GCC's on HP-UX. Reported by Akim Demaille.
1998-03-10 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>
* Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig): Remove bogus command to create
a file ltconfig in the build directory.
1998-03-09 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>
* ltmain.in: Avoid unnecessary use of command substitution,
replacing foo=`eval \\$echo \"$mumble\"` by eval foo=\"$mumble\".
(link): Use ${1+"$@"} in wrapper scripts in order to pass
arguments safely to a program.
* ltconfig.in: Use -fpic instead of -fPIC if $host_cpu matches
m68*.
1998-03-08 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* Release 1.1.
* ltmain.in: <sigh> I like `here documents' a lot, but apparently
they are so badly handled by old and buggy /bin/sh's, that
replacing `cat <<EOF ... EOF' by `$echo "..."' improves libtool's
speed by a factor of 5. So, I've eliminated here docs from the
all-important ltmain.in. From Tom Lane.
* tests/tlibtool: Eliminate from distribution.
* tests/defs (libtool): Don't use tlibtool anymore, since we can now use
the generated libtool directly.
1998-03-07 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in: Copy the contents of ltmain.sh into the generated
libtool. This should more than halve the execution times on old
or buggy /bin/sh systems, such as HP-UX 9 and SunOS 4.1.4. From
Tom Lane.
1998-03-05 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* libtool.m4 (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC): Add support for
the `default' package, so that people can control unnamed
packages.
(LD): Only add an ABI flag under IRIX 6.x, since IRIX 5.x doesn't
support them. From Alexandre Oliva.
1998-03-01 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in: Port to UnixWare 2.x. From Christopher Olsen.
1998-02-25 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltmain.in (compile): For consistency, honour the `-static' flag
during compilation.
1998-02-23 Brendan Kehoe <brendan@cygnus.com>
* libtool.m4 (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC): For
--enable-shared, heed the value of $PACKAGE from AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
if given as the argument for the library to be built shared.
1998-02-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): Fix up a typo confusion between
$ac_dir and $dir. Reported by Akim Demaille.
* ltmain.in (link): Don't allow both `-version-info' and
`-release'. Reported by Danny Backx.
1998-02-18 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* Makefile.am (noinst_SCRIPTS): Remove lineno from distribution.
* lineno: Remove from distribution, as it is no longer needed.
* Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig.in, $(srcdir)/ltmain.sh):
Rewrite these rules not to use config.status or lineno. This
makes things simpler, and reduces dependencies, so that the
scripts are rebuilt and installed in srcdir only when necessary.
Reported by Stephan Kulow.
* tests/sh.test (scripts): Remove the lineno script, since it is no
longer distributed.
* tests/assign.test, if.test, test-e.test: Even though 15 tests looks
impressive, these are now redundant. Remove them from the
distribution.
* tests/sh.test: Do what assign.test, if.test, and test-e.test used to
do.
1998-02-16 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* libtool.m4, ltmain.in, ltconfig.in: Correctly identify absolute
directory names on MS-DOS. Suggested by Bob Friesenhahn.
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in, libtool.m4: Change a bunch of `sed N!d'
commands to `sed Nq', for efficiency.
* ltmain.in: Only egrep the first few lines of files in order to
determine if they were libtool-generated. This prevents egrep(1)
from taking forever to look at a 10MB binary on Solaris. From
Stephan Kulow.
* tests/defs: Correctly identify absolute directory names on MS-DOS.
Suggested by Bob Friesenhahn.
1998-02-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in (no_undefined_flag): Add a flag to declare under
Solaris that the library should not have any undefined
references. Suggested by Bob Friesenhahn.
* ltmain.in (mkdir): Fix one more mkdir race. From H.J. Lu.
1998-02-08 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (striplib, old_striplib): Ditto.
* ltconfig.in (profile_flag_pattern): Get rid of dead code.
1998-02-07 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* libtool.m4 (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC): New macros to
modify the `--enable-shared' and `--enable-static' defaults in the
configure script. This works a lot better than the old
`enable_shared' and `enable_static' variables did. Reported by
Bob Friesenhahn.
* tests/suffix.test (extensions): Added GNAT (GNU Ada Translator)
suffices, `.ada', `.ads', `.adb'. From Samuel Tardieu.
1998-02-07 Samuel Tardieu <sam@inf.enst.fr>
* ltmain.in: Recognize .ada, .ads and .adb as known suffixes (they
are used by GNAT, the GNU Ada compiler).
1998-02-06 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in: Turn on IRIX shared libraries again!
* libtool.m4 (LD): Use file(1) to discover which ABI we're using
on IRIX, and propagate the correct linker flag. From Jim Wilson.
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (Xsed): `arg=-n; echo "$arg" | sed ...'
gives problems, because the `-n' is interpreted as an option to
echo(1). So, use `echo "X$arg" | sed -e 's/^X//' ...' everywhere,
via the $Xsed convenience variable. Suggested by H.J. Lu.
1998-02-02 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in: Turn off IRIX shared library support until 32-bit
and 64-bit ABI differences can be resolved.
1998-01-28 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* libtool.m4 (LD): Reverse yesterday's change because `-old_ld'
isn't accepted by GCC.
1998-01-27 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in (soname_spec): Add in user-specified release numbers
for every host system that supports an soname that differs from
the linkname.
* libtool.m4 (LD): Add `-old_ld' to the list of flags that need to
be passed through on SGI. Reported by Chris Lee.
* ltmain.in (release): Prepend a hyphen to the release number, and
fix a typo because `-version-info' takes only 3 args. From
H.J. Lu.
1998-01-25 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in (library_names_spec): On Linux, use the
user-specified release.
* ltmain.in (link): Allow the user to specify a release number for
the library using the `-release' flag. Suggested by H.J. Lu and
Ian Lance Taylor.
1998-01-23 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export some important
environment variables. Reported by Ian Haggard.
1998-01-19 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>

happens after ranlib. From Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer.
* ltmain.in (mode): Added `gcc*' and `*-gcc*' to the patterns that
recognize compilers. From Pieter Schoenmakers.
(link): Recognize `.a' files again. Suggested by Pieter
Schoenmakers.
1998-01-18 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltmain.in (compile): Recognize `.asm' extension, for use with
the nasm assembler. From Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer.
* tests/suffix.test (extensions): Recognize `.asm'. From Markus
F.X.J. Oberhumer.
1998-01-12 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>

Kenneth Albanowski.
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: Fix a few typos.
1998-01-03 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltmain.in (link): Quote the definition of $echo in the wrapper
script.
* ltconfig.in (export_dynamic_flag_spec): Use `--export-dynamic'
instead of `-export-dynamic', which is not accepted by all GNU
ld's. From Eiichi Takamori.
* ltmain.in (install): Don't print silly `library stripping'
warnings. Reported by François Pinard.
1997-12-19 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltmain.in: Don't forget to quote the CDPATH substitution. From
Tor Lillqvist.
1997-12-18 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (CDPATH): Unset this environment variable
so that HP-UX shells, at least, don't print out the directory name
after a `cd' command. From Tor Lillqvist.
1997-12-10 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* demo/Makefile.am (hardcode): Change a bunch of references to
`$(LIBS)' to `-lm', since we no longer put -lm in LIBS.
* demo/configure.in: Delete the test for libm, since it is
standard on every system.
* demo/Makefile.am (libhello_la_LDFLAGS): Change to include -lm,
in accordance with new inter-library dependency code.
* ltmain.in (dependency_libs): Added to help people link programs
without having to explicitly specify inter-library dependencies.
* ltconfig.in (COLLECT_NAMES): Oops... I forgot to apply the AIX 3
restriction to the generated libtool script. Reported by Stefan
Westerfeld.
1997-12-05 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltconfig.in (thisdir): Quote $echo in the generated libtool
script for HP-UX. From Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer.
* ltmain.in (link): Recognize the `.s' suffix. From Markus
F.X.J. Oberhumer.
* ltconfig.in (link_static_flag): Don't quote ${wl} on HP-UX
because link_static_flag is never evaled. From Eric Backus.
* tests/suffix.test (extensions): Recognize `.s'. From Markus
F.X.J. Oberhumer.
1997-12-01 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* demo/Makefile.am (helldl_DEPENDENCIES): Add `libhello.la' to our
dependencies so that parallel builds work correctly. From Jim
Meyering.
* Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig, $(srcdir)/ltmain.sh): Rewrite
these rules so that they are parallelizable. Reported by Jim
Meyering.
* ltconfig.in (ltecho): We need special handling to quote the
`echo' variable itself. From Alexandre Oliva.
1997-11-29 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltconfig.in (COLLECT_NAMES): Enable this workaround for a broken
collect2 only on AIX 3. This avoids problems on other AIX
versions. Reported by Stefan Westerfeld.
* ltmain.in, ltconfig.in (finish_eval): Variable like finish_cmds,
except it is a single command which is evaled, and not shown.
* ltconfig.in: Port to AmigaOS. From Joop van de Wege.
* ltmain.in (echo): Delete preamble to check for a working echo,
since we just use the one included in the generated libtool.
* ltconfig.in (echo): Include this definition in the generated
libtool script.
1997-11-28 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltconfig.in, libtool.m4 (NM): Add /usr/ccs/bin to the PATH
before checking. From Kaveh R. Ghazi.
(NM): Delete an extraneous egrep from ltconfig.
* ltconfig.in (finish_cmds): Change back to using `ldconfig -n'.
This makes Linux behave like other systems, which is more in line
with what libtool needs.
1997-11-27 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltmain.in: Change a whole bunch of `progname' variables to
`modename'. This is for clarity, and to fix a tiny typo in finish
mode.
* libtool.spec (Name, Version): Ditto.
* configure.in (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use PRCS to automatically generate
the proper package name and version number.
* ltconfig.in (gnu_ld_acts_native): Treat GNU ld like the native
linker on SunOS 4.x. Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
(deplibs): Change the defaults all over, since most systems cannot
handle inter-library dependencies.
* libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): Only look at the first line of the
output from NM when determining whether it supports a command line
option. This prevents false positives on OSes which ignore
invalid flags, like HP-UX, which prints `nm: unknown option "B"
ignored'. Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
* ltconfig.in (finish_cmds): On Linux, update ld.so.cache by
removing the `-n' flag from ldconfig. Suggested by Kenneth
Albanowski.
* Makefile.am (maintainer-checkin, maintainer-release): New
commands to reap the full benefit of using PRCS to maintain
libtool version numbers.
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (global_symbol_pipe): Explicitly cast all
addresses to __ptr_t. This fixes a bug due to a strict IRIX
compiler. Suggested by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
1997-11-23 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltmain.in (echo): For aesthetics, avoid using `$echo' when
`echo' will do *exactly* the same thing. This prevents ugly
`printf %s\n timestamp > some.lo' commands from appearing in the
libtool output.
(link): Delete the `-allow-undefined' flag because it is now the
default. Make `-no-undefined' in order for people to declare that
a library is entirely self-contained. This prevents maintainers
from accidentally creating shared libraries that won't work on
AIX. Reported by Stefan Westerfeld and Danny Backx.
* ltconfig.in (echo): Use an echo variable, just as in ltmain.in,
because we need it for quoting substitutions. For most of the
script, though, use the default echo, just like Autoconf does.
Without this patch, character \001 ends up in global_symbol_pipe.
Reported by Lars Hecking and Jürgen Fluk.
* ltmain.in (echo): Set default to `echo=echo'. Ooops. That's
what you get for testing obscure code paths and forgetting to
revert to the original version. Reported by Danny Backx.
1997-11-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltconfig.in (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Set to `-R' for FreeBSD
2.2. From Sean Kelly.
(postuninstall_cmds, old_postuninstall_cmds): Commands to run
after uninstall mode deletes the libraries. Suggested by Joop van
de Wege.
(export_dynamic_flag_spec): On HP-UX, add the `${wl}-E'
export_dynamic_flag_spec. Reported by Matthias Hoelzer.
1997-11-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (sed_quote_subst): Oops. We forgot to
quote backticks. Reported by Joop van de Wege.
* tests/quote.test: Add backticks to the backslashify test.
1997-11-09 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltconfig.in (symcode): On IRIX, don't extract undefined
symbols. When a function is inlined by G++, references to it are
still marked as undefined in the object file. This means that our
symbol file causes undefined references, because there are
actually no matching global symbols. Reported by Paul Kendall.
1997-11-08 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltconfig.in: Don't forget to redirect the COLLECT_NAMES libtool
script fragment to the generated libtool, rather than to stdout.
1997-11-07 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* libtool.m4 (LD): Add a more sophisticated test to determine the
ABI flag on IRIX 6. Suggested by Lars Hecking and Ian Lance
Taylor.
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (COLLECT_NAMES): Only export this
variable if we are running under AIX. Otherwise, we tickle a g++
bug under IRIX. From Paul Kendall.
* Change bug reporting address to <bug-libtool@gnu.org>.
* ltconfig.in (allow_undefined_flag): OSF/1 3.x also requires a
wildcard argument to `-expect_unresolved'. From Stephan Kulow.
1997-11-06 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltmain.in (link): Use libname_spec.
* ltconfig.in (pic_flag): Somehow, the HP-UX pic_flag (`+Z') was
dropped between libtool-1.0 and now. Add it back in. Reported by
Akim Demaille.
Integrated more patches for OS/2. From Jeff Freedman.
(libname_spec): New variable for OSes that don't require their
libraries to look like `libNAME.a'.
* ltmain.in (link): Only use global_symbol_pipe if it has been
defined. From Stephan Kulow.
* ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): Protect C fragment under C++
compilers. From Stephan Kulow.
* Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/acinclude.m4,
$(srcdir)/demo/acinclude.m4): Change rules to use LN_S so that
they can be run on any system.
* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): For NetBSD, don't include deplibs.
From Dieter Baron.
* ltmain.in (mkdir): Check that the directory doesn't exist before
we exit with error, so that we don't get races during parallel
builds. From H.J. Lu.
(fbsd_hideous_sh_bug): Apparently, some FreeBSD /bin/sh's have a
bug that will empty base_compile unless we do this dummy
assignment. From Marc van Kempen.
1997-10-22 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* libtool.m4 (libtool_shared, libtool_static): Fixed logic error
to reenable override of libtool's defaults by setting
enable_shared or enable_static in configure.in. Reported by Tom
Tromey and Stephan Kulow.
* ltmain.in (link): Add explicit support for compiler options that
begin with `+'. Reported by Aubert Pierre.
1997-10-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltmain.in: Silly me. Change a bunch of occurances of "* $dir *"
into *" $dir "*.
* ltconfig.in (pic_flag): PIC is the default for AIX. From Mark
Kettenis. It is also the default for OSF/1.
* demo/Makefile.am (objdir): Quote double-quotes. From Mark
Kettenis.
* ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): This variable is not
double-evaled, so it should not be double quoted. From Mark
Kettenis.
1997-10-19 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltconfig.in (LD): Same as below.
* libtool.m4 (LD): Set LD if we discover an absolute path to GNU
ld. This prevents breakage when `$CC -print-prog-name=ld' returns
an absolute directory name. Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
* ltconfig.in: Port to OS/2 using EMX. From Jeff Freedman.
* ltmain.in (link): Use old_archive_from_new_cmds.
* ltconfig.in (old_archive_from_new_cmds): New variable to
support DLL libraries.
* ltmain.in (link): Only `eval' export_dynamic_flag_spec if it is
not empty. Reported by Stephan Kulow.
1997-10-18 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltconfig.in (objdir): Use the .libs directory on all systems for
which that name is valid, and _libs on the others (like MS-DOS).
Suggested by Juergen Erhard.
1997-10-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
* ltmain.in (link): Added a bit more inter-language support to the
symbol file generation process.
Instead of complaining about unrecognized argument suffices, pass
them to the linker. This prevents libtool from barfing on
mandatory arguments to linker flags. Reported by Michael
Tiemann.
1997-10-09 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.in (link): Change the wrapper script to follow symlinks
in order to find thisdir. This should put the final nail in the
coffin for problems with wrapper scripts. From Ian Lance Taylor.
1997-10-07 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.in: Change a few `$echo' commands into `$show' to make
--silent mode behave as advertised.
* ltconfig.in (allow_undefined_flag): On OSF/1 4.x, use
`-expect_unresolved \*'. From Christian Mondrup.
* ltmain.in (install): Change install mode to allow a specified
/bin/sh argument at the beginning of the install_prog. Also,
specify the shell to run when invoking libtool recursively for
finish mode. From Chris Provenzano.
* libtool.m4 (LIBTOOL): Change definition to include $(SHELL).
From Chris Provenzano.
* ltconfig.in: Port to UTS 4.x. From Alistair Crooks.
* demo/Makefile.am (hc-libflag): Add rules to make this binary for
hardcode.test.
* tests/hardcode.test (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Check the hardcoding
properties of the flag_spec, too.
1997-09-24 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in (LD): As with libtool.m4, don't override LD.
Do a whole bunch of ac_t quoting.
1997-09-24 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LD): Don't override LD in the environment.
1997-09-21 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): Arguments to the for loop must be
whitespace separated. This fixes a bug under FreeBSD's /bin/sh.
From George Scott.
* tests/defs, tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Change =inst to
_inst to fix portability on MS-DOS. From Robert Hoehne.
1997-09-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.in (deplibs): When building shared libraries, always add
-lc to deplibs. Reported by Andreas Jellinghaus.
1997-09-15 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (COLLECT_NAMES): If the COLLECT_NAMES
environment variable has not been set, set it to empty. This
apparently fixes the AIX bug with GCC's collect2. Reported by
Mark Kettenis.
* demo/Makefile.am, ltmain.in, tests/hardcode.test (objdir):
Changed objdir variable .libs to _libs. This is another MS-DOS
portability fix. Suggested by Robert Hoehne.
* tests/hardcode.test (objdir): New variable to simplify change from
.libs to _libs (MS-DOS portability fix).
1997-09-13 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (hardcode_minusL): Fix typo by renaming
hardcode_minusL to hardcode_minus_L. Also add FreeBSD
hardcode_libdir_flag_spec. From Paul Traina.
* ltmain.in (link): Honour multiple `-rpath' flags when linking
programs. Suggested by Bengt Martensson.
Quote appearances of $echo in the wrapper script. From Alexandre
Oliva.
* Makefile.am, configure.in, tests/tlibtool: Use ltmain.in instead
of ltmain.sh.in.
* ltmain.in: Rename ltmain.sh.in to ltmain.in. This fixes a
portability problem (on MS-DOS, of all places!). From Robert
Hoehne.
1997-09-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Do not transform libtool objects to regular
objects if we did not build old libs. Reported by Tomas Hiller.
1997-09-05 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* demo/Makefile.am (hell_debug_LDFLAGS): Change hell.static to
hell.debug in order to reflect the new static linking semantics.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Add new `-all-static' flag to prevent all
dynamic linking. The old `-static' flag just prevents dynamic
linking against libtool libraries. Suggested by Bengt
Martensson.
* ltconfig.in (with_gnu_ld): Add a test to make sure that we are
actually using GNU ld. This fixes an inconsistency when running
ltconfig without using libtool.m4. Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
(global_symbol_pipe): Delete symbols that are not valid C
identifiers. Reported by Johan Danielsson and Bengt Martensson.
* tests/demo-exec.test, tests/demo-inst.test: Change references from
hell.static to hell.debug.
* tests/quote.test (echo): Add the same Digital Unix echo test fixes as
the ones to ltmain.sh.in from Todd Kover.
* tests/if.test, tests/test-e.test (scripts): Add ../lineno to
the scripts we check.
* tests/if.test: Check for accidental use of test X$something rather
than test "X$something".
1997-09-04 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (echo): Quote all the uses of `echo' in all eval
statements. Reported by Bengt Martensson and Alexandre Oliva.
(echo): Need to surround test args with double quotes, or the echo
test fails on Digital Unix 4.0. From Todd Kover.
1997-08-28 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (echo): Change test to one that uses printf.
This works on AIX, which has the same problems that Solaris does,
but no working echo program.
* tests/quote.test (echo): Change test to version that uses printf.
Be less strict about return results.
1997-08-27 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Make sure that compile_command and
finalize_command are always evaled. Quote any unknown linker
flags we need to pass through.
(compile): Use quoting for flags we pass.
(echo): I hate Sun! The /usr/bin/echo on Solaris handles
backslash sequences, which makes it impossible to do backslash
quoting using echo and sed. So, we search for an echo that obeys
the `echo '\t'` = '\t' equality. Then we use `$echo' everywhere
in ltmain.sh.
Put tabs back into the ${IFS= } sequences. Emacs untabify is
libtool bane.
* ltconfig.in: Quote all variable values that may contain
metacharacters creating the libtool script. This provides
complete protection, so that even single-quotes may appear inside
a libtool variable value.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Quote finalize_command before putting it in
the wrapper script.
* tests/quote.test (echo): Add the test for a non-backslash-mangling
echo.
1997-08-26 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (sed_quote_subst): Change the quoting procedure
again. I think that the new one is robust for *all* characters,
including whitespace and metacharacters.
* tests/quote.test: New torture test for libtool metacharacter quoting.
1997-08-25 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in: Change quoting procedure because some shells
cannot handle `]' in scan sets. From Ian Dall.
1997-08-22 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (execute): Added -dlopen flag handling. Suggested
by Alexandre Oliva.
1997-08-21 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Change executable wrapper to fix up value
of thisdir, as well as progdir, if the $0 path doesn't work. This
guarantees that shlibpath_var is set correctly. Add support for
execute mode.
* ltmain.sh.in (execute): New mode to automatically set
shlibpath_var, which allows easy debugging of uninstalled
executables and libraries. Suggested by Kenneth Albanowski.
1997-08-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig): Use lineno.
* configure.in: Add AM_PROG_AWK for lineno.
* lineno: New program to automatically put line numbers in
ltconfig.
* libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (AM_PROG_LD): Yet Another Rewrite, which
incorporates the results of `gcc -print-program-name=ld'.
Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
1997-08-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in: Accept `--quiet' and `--silent' flags to turn off
command echoing. From Juergen A. Erhard.
(compile): Recognize the Objective C `.m' extension. From Juergen
A. Erhard.
(compile): Suppress error output from the second compilation (if
any) so that we don't get those frustrating duplicate error
messages.
* tests/suffix.test (extensions): Added Objective C extension, `.m'.
1997-08-12 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: Added messages to config.log to describe what sort
of test we are running.
(pic_flag): Added a sanity check for pic_flag. This should fix
bugs reported using the cc bundled with HP-UX 10. Suggested by
Bruno Haible and Akim Demaille.
1997-08-01 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Add -dlopen and -dlpreopen support for
libtool objects. This means that dlopened modules no longer need
to be shared libraries.
* ltconfig.in (pic_flag): GCC on IRIX 6 always builds PIC.
Reported by Ian Lance Taylor.
* libtool.m4 (LD): Always add `-n32' to the linker if we are using
GCC on IRIX 6. Reported by Ian Lance Taylor.
1997-07-30 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Explicitly check enable_shared and
enable_static rather than just enableval. This allows
configure.in scripts to set their own defaults. Suggested by
Tommy Reilly.
1997-07-29 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in: Add NLS environment variable handling copied from
ltconfig.in. Reported by Akim Demaille.
(link): If allow_undefined_flag is not supported, then turn on old
libraries. Reported by Akim Demaille.
* demo/dlmain.c (main): Use dld_preloaded_symbol_count to display
a message about the sortedness of the symbol table.
* ltconfig.in (nlist): Use an nlist convenience variable, so that
code can be shared directly with ltmain.sh.in.
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (dld_preloaded_symbol_count): Count up
the number of symbols in the dld_preloaded_symbols. Set to `-1'
if the list wasn't both sorted and counted. This allows
applications to do a quick binary search, if they are so inclined.
1997-07-25 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Remove code for `-version-file', since it
has been long-deprecated.
Disable static linking if hardcode_direct is unsupported and there
is no working link_static_flag. This provides correct behaviour
for all cases on AIX 3, regardless of whether collect2 is broken
or not. Reported by Mark Kettenis.
* ltconfig.in: Fix typo in test polarity. From Mark Kettenis.
1997-07-24 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in (hardcode_direct): Set to `unsupported' if aix3 uses
a broken collect2. Adapted out of test results from Mark
Kettenis.
(link_static_flag): Make sure the link_static_flag actually works
with a trivial binary.
* ltmain.sh.in, ltconfig.in (export_dynamic_flag_spec): Renamed
from export_dynamic_flag because we eval it in ltmain.sh.
* ltmain.sh.in (link_static): Don't eval link_static_flag.
* demo/dlmain.c (main): Change function prototype to be KNR
compatible. From Kaveh R. Ghazi.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Use no_builtin_flag. This works around
conflicting definitions of builtin functions with at least GCC.
Reported by Kazuhiro Sasayama.
* ltconfig.in (no_builtin_flag): New flag to turn off builtin
functions when compiling an object file.
(pipe_works): Use it.
* tests/demo-exec.test (status): Use status variables so that we try to
execute all the programs.
1997-07-23 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in (pic_flag): According to the libg++ 2.7.2 configure
script, DEC alpha CPUs are PIC-only, as well. Reported by Kevin
Jacobs.
1997-07-21 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in: Replace all occurances of "sed 'X;
Y'" with "sed -e 'X' -e 'Y'".
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Finish full integration for `-dlopen' and
`-dlpreopen'.
Fix two silly typos where I used a compile_command in place of a
finalize_command, and vice versa.
Change the wrapper script to check a hardcoded path only if the
argv[0] method fails. This is a compromise for the previous two
patches, and should solve the majority of problems with wrapper
scripts. From Kenneth Albanowski.
(link): Change a reference to hardcode_libdir_colon_separated to
use the new hardcode_libdir_separator variable.
* demo/Makefile.am (helldl_LDFLAGS): Add `-export-dynamic' and
`-dlpreopen' for building helldl.
* demo/dlmain.c (main): Succeed, even if none of the libhello
symbols have been preloaded.
1997-07-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): Add `U' to the accepted global
symbol types. This means that we will get duplicate symbols, but
we'll also be sure to get all global symbols used by the program.
* ltconfig.in (pipe_works), ltmain.sh.in (link): Sort and make
symbol output unique.
1997-07-19 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in (pipe_works): Check to make sure our guessed
global_symbol_pipe actually works.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Revert change from Kenneth Albanowski. The
wrapper scripts are more reliable when they just use the argv[0]
value. Generally, when the argv[0] method doesn't work, the user
is trying to do something weird with an uninstalled binary, and
should try a different approach.
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (CC): Always use `$CC' instead of
`$cc'. This fixes a FreeBSD bug. Reported by Chuck Robey, and
others.
1997-07-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): In wrapper scripts, hardcode the current
directory to prevent phony argv[0] values from screwing up our
program. From Kenneth Albanowski.
1997-07-13 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Makefile.am (demo_distfiles): Add demo/dlmain.c to the
distribution.
1997-07-12 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* demo/Makefile.am: Add helldl, made from dlmain.c, to demostrate
`-dlopen' usage.
* demo/dlmain.c: New file to demonstrate preloaded modules.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Add `-dlopen' flag to preload dynamic
modules, even on static platforms. Use `$NM' and
`$global_symbol_cmd' to extract symbols from required files.
(dlname): Delete dlname mode entirely. It is rendered obsolete
because the `.la' file format is now a public interface.
* ltconfig.in (NM): New variable for BSD-compatible nm program.
(global_symbol_cmd): Pipeline to extract global symbols from the
nm output.
* ltmain.sh.in: The .la file header should depend on `ltmain.sh',
not `$PROGRAM'.
(link): Make sure $export_dynamic_flag is eval'ed before it is
used.
* tests/demo-exec.test, tests/demo-inst.test: Check the new
helldl program, too.
1997-07-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* libtool.spec: New Red Hat Package Manager specification file in
order to help people prepare distributions of libtool for Linux.
* ltmain.sh.in: Eliminate two accidental uses of the NONE magic
value. These were breaking libtool's behaviour when no mode is
specified.
* tests/nomode.test: New test to make sure there is correct behaviour
when we don't specify a mode.
1997-07-08 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Release 1.0.
* ltconfig.in: On SunOS, append /usr/etc to the PATH before
running ldconfig; on *BSD, append /sbin. This was done in line
with the Linux change suggested by Kenneth Albanowski.
* demo/Makefile.am (hardcode_tests): Aesthetic change to
alphabetize order of compiling the hardcode tests.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Delete README-automake.
* README-automake: Remove from distribution.
1997-07-02 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): In the executable wrapper, strip trailing
colons from the shlibpath_var because some ld.so's, notably
OpenBSD 2.0's (!), don't parse colon-terminated values correctly.
From Tim Pierce.
1997-07-01 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in, ltconfig.in: Eliminate uses of the NONE magic
variable value. Use an empty variable instead.
* ltconfig.in (with_gcc, with_gnu_ld): Do the tests for the C
compiler and linker if the variables are unset, or if they are not
GNU C and ld.
(RANLIB): Eliminate redundant `if' statement.
* configure.in: Use AM_PROG_LD.
* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LD_GNU): New macro to determine if LD is GNU
ld.
(AM_PROG_LD): Rename AM_PATH_PROG_LD to AM_PROG_LD. Parameterize
so that the user can specify `--with-gnu-ld' or `--without-gnu-ld'
to indicate his preference.
(AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Use it.
1997-06-30 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: Append /sbin to the path before running ldconfig on
Linux. This helps superusers who haven't set their PATH
correctly. Suggested by Kenneth Albanowski.
* tests/if.test: New test to make sure that we haven't forgotten to
follow an `if' statement with a `test' command. This should avoid
the majority of hard-to-track bugs.
1997-06-29 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in: Change all the `eval "$run ..."' sequences to
`$run "eval ..."'.
Change all `$ln_s ...' sequences to use `(cd /dir && $LN_S ...)'.
This is the sequence recommended by the Autoconf manual, and
should avoid any problems on older machines. Eliminate all uses
of `cp -p'. Reported by Akim Demaille.
(install): Use `test $# -gt 0' instead of `test -n "$1"'.
* ltconfig.in (LN_S): Add test to see if `ln -s' works.
* libtool.m4: Increment serial number, and require AC_PROG_LN_S.
1997-06-26 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Add missing `test' statement. Reported by
Akim Demaille.
1997-06-24 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* libtool.m4 (LD): Consistently use ac_cv_path_ld instead of
am_cv_path_ld. From Tim Pierce.
1997-06-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in: Redo two robustness fixes. Alexandre had the
correct approach, but I botched them.
* ltconfig.in (dynamic_linker): Disable shared libraries on
MkLinux unless GNU libc is in use. Reported by Akim Demaille.
1997-06-19 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (install): Add a missing `test' command. Reported
by Joel Weber.
Miscellaneous fixes to improve robustness. From Alexandre Oliva.
* tests/demo-conf.test (CONFIG_SITE): Set to /dev/null, so that the
config.site file doesn't mess up our prefix. Reported by Joel
Weber.
* tests/demo-inst.test: Always run both hell.static and hell.
* tests/demo-conf.test: Always remove the local config.cache, but run
`make distclean' only if the Makefile exists. Otherwise, the demo
directory is not cleaned up if a user uses their own config.cache.
Reported by Joel Weber.
1997-06-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Create invalid libtool objects when partial
linking if we don't have PIC. From Jeff Dairiki.
(install): Fix bug if libtool object is installed to a file name
without directory components. From Jeff Dairiki.
1997-06-13 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Makefile.am (demo/configure): Fix up rules to run autoconf.
(aclocal.m4): Now we depend on our own libtool.m4.
* configure.in (AM_PATH_PROG_LD): Use it.
* libtool.m4 (AM_PATH_PROG_LD): New macro to find the linker used
by the C compiler.
(AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Use it.
* ltmain.sh.in (install, uninstall): Support installing and
uninstalling `.lo' files. From Jeff Dairiki.
1997-06-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): Only move if $(srcdir) is not
the current directory. Don't regenerate every time the package is
reconfigured. Reported by Tom Tromey.
(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Added ltconfig, ltmain.sh, so that
$(srcdir) is not messed with during a regular clean.
1997-06-10 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): Be sure to move these files
into $(srcdir) once they are created.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Disable building static libraries.
People should use their favourite AR and RANLIB commands.
Disable building old-style objects if `--disable-static' is
given. Suggested by Tom Lees and Stephan Kulow.
1997-06-08 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in (host_cpu, host_vendor, host_os): Patch up
definitions, to allow for the fact that the host_os may contain
hyphens (as in linux-gnu). From Scott Goehring.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Move the `dlname' setting closer to the top
of the file. Suggested by David Mosberger-Tang.
Symlink the libtool archive into the `.libs' directory so that it
can be found by programs that want to find a library's dlname by
searching LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Reported by David Mosberger-Tang.
1997-06-06 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Tell people to report bugs to the new libtool mailing list,
<bug-libtool@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.
1997-06-05 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in (allow_undefined_flag): New variable that implements
`-allow-undefined'.
(archive_cmds): Enable C++ constructors for FreeBSD 2.2. From
David Nugent.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Accept new `-allow-undefined' flag when
building libtool libraries. This tells libtool to allow
unresolved symbols to exist in shared libraries. Basically, this
turns off shared libraries on AIX. Suggested by Ian Lance Taylor.
1997-05-26 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* libtool.m4 (LD): On at least IRIX, many different flags need to
be propagated to the linker if they are part of the compiler
command line. Reported by Anthony Green.
1997-05-10 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: Trivial port to FreeBSD 3. From David Nugent.
1997-04-25 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Remove all traces of `-whole-archive',
`-no-whole-archive', and libtool convenience libraries. They were
more trouble than they're worth. If these are ever reimplemented,
they need more careful attention to make portable.
* libtool.m4, ltconfig.in: Added a `--disable-static' flag to turn
off static library creation. From Tom Lees (who finally convinced
me that it was the Right Thing to do).
1997-04-22 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_runpath_var, runpath_var): Use them, if
the linker has no -rpath flag.
Quote the values we use to set runpath_var and shlibpath_var.
(link): Use libobjlibs for libtool convenience libraries.
* ltconfig.in (hardcode_runpath_var, runpath_var): Add new
variables to describe linkers that honour `LD_RUN_PATH'.
(host_cpu, host_os): Use these more specific variables, rather
than the full canonical host system name.
* ltmain.sh.in (dlname): Distinguish between missing
`-export-dynamic' and when the library is only statically linked.
1997-04-21 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: Trivial port to OpenBSD by making it an alias for
NetBSD. From Tim Pierce.
1997-04-16 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: Temporary measures to check for a broken collect2
program. Right now, we just see if we're using GCC on AIX 3.
* tests/hardcode.test: AIX also has arbitrary limits on the line length
of input to fgrep(1), so we need to translate NUL characters to
newlines in order to properly detect embedded `.libs'. From Bruno
Haible.
Also redirect stderr to /dev/null, so that AIX users don't get
worried by `fgrep: Maximum line length of 2048 exceeded.'.
1997-04-13 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (mode): Use `egrep -e' when inferring the operation
mode.
1997-04-12 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in (linker): Some GNU ld's don't accept `--version',
but do accept `-v'. From Jukka Honkela.
(ld_shlibs): AIX lossage may be settling down. AIX 3.2.5 ld does
*not* hardcode direct libraries, but AIX 4.1.[45] ld does.
1997-04-07 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in (hardcode_action): Fix silly logic error. From
Bruno Haible.
1997-04-05 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (install): Relink if hardcode_action is `relink',
rather than using complex conditionals based on the other
hardcode variables.
* ltconfig.in (hardcode_action): Set to `relink', not `immediate',
if we can only hardcode existing directories. Rearrange
conditionals to make the intent clearer, otherwise this can be one
hellish piece of code for the already-dizzy libtool maintainer.
1997-04-02 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* replfunc.m4: Delete from the distribution. Documentation now
describes how to set LTALLOCA and LTLIBOBJS in your own
configure.in.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Make sure a libtool library only counts as
a shared library if its library_names are non-null.
Use timestamps for .lo's when PIC is turned off, rather than
symlinking to the real object. This helps invalid mixtures of PIC
and non-PIC to fail.
1997-04-01 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute libtool.prj.
* Shameless plug: Changed source code management system from CVS
to PRCS.
* libtool.scm: Initial Guile implementation of libtool.
* ltmain.sh.in: An unexpected inconsistency in my whole approach
to shared libraries has proven that libtool needs to be completely
rewritten if I'm going to give full shared library support for
platforms that don't use the GNU C library version 2 (which to my
knowledge currently only works on GNU Hurd and Linux/GNU systems).
Porting the GNU C library should not be difficult, though.
Platforms that don't have the dlopen(3) family of functions will
need to install GNU DLD version 4 in order to build any kind of
libraries at all. Unfortunately, DLD 4 won't be released for a
while, because I maintain it, and I'm too busy working on libtool.
I'll keep the old ltconfig/ltmain.sh implementation around for as
long as I can, and continue applying bug fixes, so that I'll have
a reasonable starting point for this new libtool implementation.
It looks like this implementation will be even more complex than
the original (pre-0.7) libtool. Initial estimates show that it
may be up to 3 times slower, and 5 times larger than libtool-0.9.
I'll probably have to rewrite it in Guile to get reasonable
performance, which will severely limit its portability for a
while.
That will also introduce a bootstrapping issue, since the next
release of Guile will use libtool to build shared libraries. So,
if users want to have shared Guile libraries, they will have to
configure Guile with `--disable-shared', compile it, install it,
then reconfigure Guile with `--enable-shared' and repeat.
I was hoping to get libtool 1.0 out the door by early April, but
now it looks like it will take at least another year before it'll
be usable by the public at large. April fools. libtool.scm
doesn't exist yet, either.
* ltconfig.in (verify_host): Remove redundant `Transform *-*-linux*
to *-*-linux-gnu*'. From Bruno Haible.
* tests/hardcode.test: AIX 3 doesn't have strings(1) so we need to do a
funny tr and pipe the output to fgrep. From Bruno Haible.
1997-03-31 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Makefile.am: Use the new AUTOMAKE and ACLOCAL variables.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Only fail if a convenience library doesn't
exist, and the user specified -whole-archive.
Fix shell quoting that was breaking @OUTPUT@ substitution.
1997-03-28 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Use the hardcode_libdir_separator.
Convenience libraries are libtool objects if we're not building
libtool libs.
* ltconfig.in (hardcode_libdir_separator): Added in case the
linker only honours the last of the -rpath flags (but it can
contain multiple colon-separated directories), such as on OSF/1.
Reported by Carl D. Roth.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Set the dlname if -export-dynamic is given.
(install, uninstall): Handle the dlname file separately.
* ltconfig.in (export_dynamic_flag): Added to allow programs to
use reflexive dlopens.
* ltmain.sh.in: Include the mode name in any help messages.
(dlname): New mode to give the name to be used with dlopen(3).
* ltconfig.in (AR): Allow AR to be set by the user, and export it
to ltmain.sh.
* ltmain.sh.in: Remove broken profiled library support.
Added `-whole-archive' and `-no-whole-archive' to manipulate
convenience libraries.
1997-03-27 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Allow the creation of static convenience
libraries made of libtool objects. Suggested by David
Mosberger-Tang.
1997-03-25 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: On AIX, libtool also needs to look for `B' symbols
in nm output. These are global variable definitions.
* ltmain.sh.in: Linking with -static should link against the
linklib if old_library is empty (like it is on AIX).
* ltconfig.in: Change the order of OS detection, so that
linux-gnu* is detected before gnu*.
* Makefile.am (libtool): Use the correct CC, RANLIB, LD, when
generating libtool. From Carl D. Roth.
* configure.in: Find out the user-supplied CC, LD, RANLIB. From
Carl D. Roth.
1997-03-24 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in: Linking with -static should link against the old
library, not linklib.
* README-automake: Updated to point to Automake 1.1m.
1997-03-15 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* demo/main.c: Use it.
* demo/foo.h: Declare it.
* demo/foo.c: Added definition of `nothing' so that we have an
global variable definition, as well as functions.
1997-03-12 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: Make sure either enable_shared or enable_static is
configured. Reported by Tom Tromey.
* ltmain.sh.in: Bomb out if no library types are configured.
1997-02-22 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Renamed
from `hardcode_libdir_flag'.
(library_names_spec): Renamed from `lib_names'.
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_action): Change value from
`rpath' to `immediate'.
* replfunc.m4: Add AM_FUNC_ALLOCA, AM_FUNC_MEMCMP, and
AM_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS.
1997-02-18 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: Transform *-*-linux* to *-*-linux-gnu* to support
old-style config.guess scripts.
1997-02-17 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in: Create objdir *before* linking a program into it.
1997-02-12 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: Any ld --version that returns GNU is probably a GNU
ld. From Marcus Daniels.
* libtool.m4: Added AM_REPLACE_FUNCS.
1997-02-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: Trivial port to *-*-osf4. From Bruno Haible.
1997-02-10 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: AIX 3 and 4 ld only hardcodes LIBPATH if -L is not
specified. This behaviour is the same with both xlc and gcc.
1997-02-07 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* doc/platforms.texi: Yaay! We found a workaround for HP-UX
/bin/sh buffer overflows. From Eric Backus.
1997-02-03 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Release 0.9.
* PLATFORMS, doc/platforms.texi, Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am:
Move PLATFORMS to doc/platforms.texi.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Use hardcode_libdir_flag to get a library
directory into the resulting binary.
Use hardcode_action, and make many simplifying changes to have
compilation and finalization be consistent with each other.
* ltconfig.in: Not so amazing! It's AIX cc that hardcodes direct
libraries... gcc doesn't, though.
(link_rpath_flag): Change link_rpath_flag to be
hardcode_libdir_flag.
(hardcode_action): New variable to simplify ltmain.sh.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Do the full make sequence with
--disable-shared, then without.
* tests/demo-sttc.test: Configure the demo directory with
--disable-shared.
1997-01-29 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in: Change to take advantage of linkers that don't
hardcode direct libraries.
* ltconfig.in: Amazing! AIX 3 linker doesn't hardcode direct
libraries, which makes it less buggy than AIX 4. Reported by Mark
Kettenis.
* demo/configure.in: Check for the math library.
* demo/foo.c (foo): Change to use the `cos' function, so that we
need to link against another library.
* tests/hardcode.test: Rewrite to use fgrep on output from ``strings
-a'' if using fgrep directly on the binary files fails. From Mark
Kettenis.
1997-01-28 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Export the PATH variable in order to find
the program, rather than giving a full path. This helps give the
program a less confusing value for argv[0].
* tests/hardcode.test: Make sure that ../demo/libhello.la really is a
shared library before running hardcoding tests.
1997-01-26 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Release 0.8.
1997-01-24 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Makefile.am (demo_distfiles): Add demo/acinclude.m4 to the
distribution.
1997-01-22 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* libtool.m4: For IRIX 6, ld needs -n32 if cc uses it. Reported
by Bruno Haible.
* ltconfig.in: IRIX ld does not hardcode direct libraries.
Reported by Bruno Haible.
1997-01-18 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_shlibpath_var): Allow new
value, `unsupported', since most linkers do not allow you to use
shlibpath_var for initial linking.
* ltconfig.in: Lots of bug fixes from Bruno Haible. Set wl on
OSF/1, fix definitions of hardcode_* variables.
(archive_cmds): Fix not to use +h on HP-UX 9.x. Reported by Bruno
Haible.
* tests/demo-conf.test: Use the CONFIG_SHELL environment variable when
running configure in the demo directory. From Bruno Haible.
* tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Make distclean in the demo directory,
so that ``make clean; env CC=cc make check'' works as one would
expect.
* tests/demo-make.test: Fix typo (use $make instead of make). Reported
by Akim Demaille.
1997-01-17 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* libtoolize.in: Handle explicit AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR settings.
Suggested by Akim Demaille.
* libtool.m4: Change ltconfig line to use $CONFIG_SHELL when it is
specified. Reported by Bruno Haible.
1997-01-16 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* demo/Makefile.am (hc-direct): Do better searching for the proper
name to do a direct link.
(hc-libpath): Make allowances if shlibpath_var cannot be used
to find libraries at link time, such as on AIX.
* Makefile.am (demo_distfiles): Remove ansi2knr.1 and ansi2knr.c.
* demo/foo.c, demo/hello.c, demo/main.c: Change ANSI prototypes to
KNR form, for better portability, and less ansi2knr hair.
* demo/configure.in: Remove AM_FUNC_PROTOTYPES.
* demo/Makefile.am: Remove ansi2knr from the AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
* demo/ansi2knr.1, demo/ansi2knr.c: Removed these files.
* ltmain.sh.in: Use 1>&2 consistently to direct errors and
warnings to stderr.
(compile): Fix missing single quote.
* ltconfig.in (hardcode_direct): On Solaris at least, using
DIR/libNAME.so does not hardcode DIR, so introduce a new hardcode
variable to reflect that.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): If linking with $link_static_flag fails,
then retry without it, but still use the .a versions of
uninstalled libtool archives.
* tests/tlibtool: Rewrote to grab all the settings from the generated
libtool script.
* tests/hardcode.test: Make allowances if shlibpath_var cannot be used
to find libraries at link time, such as on AIX.
1997-01-15 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Eval $link_static_flag. Reported by Bruno
Haible.
* PLATFORMS: Add to distribution. Suggested by Bruno Haible.
1997-01-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* tests/demo-conf.test, tests/demo-inst.test, tests/demo-unst.test,
tests/hardcode.test:
Use $make instead of make.
* tests/defs (make): Add definition of $make that uses the $MAKE
environment variable, if set. Suggested by Bruno Haible.
* tests/demo-unst.test (leftovers): Change the find command to ignore
files beginning with a dot, as egrep -v doesn't seem to do the
trick. Reported by Bruno Haible.
1997-01-13 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: Add support for SCO OpenServer 5.x. From
Christopher Olsen.
(can_build_shared): Initialize at the top of the file, so that
shared libraries aren't built on platforms that don't support
them.
* tests/hardcode.test: Added a test to make sure that libtool's idea of
hardcoding system linkers is correct.
1997-01-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in, ltconfig.in, libtoolize.in, doc/libtool.texi:
Update the copyright completion years.
1997-01-08 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: Port to IRIX 5.3, 6.2.
1997-01-06 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: HP-UX 9 support is the same as HP-UX 10, so the
port is trivial.
* libtoolize.in: Add --dry-run option, -n for short.
1997-01-03 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): On at least SunOS, /bin/sh doesn't
understand "export something=val". From Bruno Haible.
* tests/Makefile.am (distclean-local): Remove all files that the tests
may have created. Reported by Bruno Haible.
* For all tests, discover srcdir when running from the command
line.
* tests/demo-unst.test: Don't fail if make uninstall doesn't delete
files beginning with a dot, since spurious .nfsXXX files may be
present when running NFS. Reported by Bruno Haible.
1997-01-02 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (compile): Recognize valid source file suffixes for
Fortran and C++.
* tests/suffix.test: New test to guarantee that libtool compile
recognizes valid source file suffices.
1996-12-17 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Don't allow *._o and *.l_o to be valid
object type suffixes, in spite of Automake's current ansi2knr
implementation. Not all compilers allow non-`.o' suffixes.
1996-12-16 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Delete the `libtool' version type.
1996-12-12 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: Use the full autoconf syntax when checking for GNU
C. Delete library stripping program, until we have a correct
test.
1996-12-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: On AIX 3, use /usr/ucb/nm, not /ucb/nm. From Mark
Kettenis.
1996-12-09 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
Reported by Charles Kerr:
* doc/libtool.texi (Creating Object Files): Doc fix independant ->
independent.
* ltconfig.in (ld_shlibs): SunOS 4 doesn't support shared library
dependencies.
1996-12-08 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Release 0.7.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add README-automake to the
distribution.
* ltmain.sh.in (link): When linking libtool libraries, use
standard objects if they are PIC. This prevents spurious warnings
about invalid suffixes on AIX.
* demo/Makefile.am: Rename libhell to libhello, so that we're not
quite as offensive.
* ltconfig.in: Remove unnecessary host validity checking.
* ltmain.sh.in: Don't force people to use libNAME.la: SOMETHING.la
is good enough (for consistency with *.a handling).
* tests/demo.test: Break up into demo-conf.test, demo-make.test,
demo-exec.test, demo-inst.test, and demo-unst.test, so that passes
and failures are reported more quickly.
* tests/link-2.test: Test to make sure that .lo files don't get built
directly into programs.
1996-12-07 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Accept files ending in .a as standard
object files. Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
Remove support for creating profiled libraries (for now).
Transform all library objects into standard objects when linking a
program.
* ltconfig.in (thisdir): How embarrassing! An error in the regexp
for finding the directory component of the script path.
* tests/tlibtool: A typically-configured libtool script, that uses
../ltmain.sh.in for its backend.
* tests/link.test: Make sure that it is legal to link against .a files.
1996-12-05 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (compile): Support `.S' (preprocessed assembler)
files. Reported by Anthony Green.
* libtoolize.in: Give clearer instrutions for how to update
aclocal.m4.
* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (link): Add support for creating
reloadable objects.
1996-12-04 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (install): Fix passing -n flag to `libtool
--finish'.
(compile): Compile `.lo' and `.o' objects at the same time so that
non-PIC objects (if they are available) can be used for linking
into programs and creating static archives. Suggested by Ulrich
Drepper.
1996-12-03 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltmain.sh.in (link): Give the full path to the libtool library
when sourcing it.
* ltconfig.in (old_striplib): Do a configuration test to determine
if old-style libraries actually can be stripped or not.
1996-12-02 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* tests/demo.test: Try compiling the ../demo subdirectory, with no
special options.
* test-e.test: Check that we haven't used `test -e' anywhere in
our portable shell scripts.
1996-12-02 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* ltconfig.in: Delete reference to ABOUT-LIBS.
* tests: Added new subdirectory.
* doc/libtool.texi: Doc fixes, and finished up the Configuring
