Really update libltdl version-info.

[libtool.git] / ChangeLog.2001

2001-12-06  Jens Petersen  <petersen@redhat.com>

        * ltmain.in: Replace all test "-a"s by "&& test"
        for portability.

2001-11-28  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN): Change the
        factor of saftey as 3/4 of the result was not low enough.

2001-11-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in: The test for whether AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is defined
        in aclocal.m4 had bitrotted slightly.
        Reported by Takahiko Kawasaki <Takahiko_Kawasaki@cii.csk.co.jp>

2001-11-27  Donald D. Anderson  <dda@sleepycat.com>

        * ltmain.in: Treat freebsd like openbsd, in that -lc/-lc_r should
        not be explicitly used.  ld handles this depending on the presence
        of the -pthread option.

2001-11-27  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

        With help from Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>:
        * ltmain.in:  Add a new command line argument
        --preserve-dup-deps for preserving duplicate
        dependent libraries.
        * libtool.texi: Document it.

2001-11-27  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN): Send "test"
        warnings to /dev/null, helps FreeBSD and maybe others.

2001-11-15  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4: quote LTCC because autoconf AC_PROG_CC_STDC
        macro might add to $CC if options needed by compiler to
        grok ANSI.

2001-11-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Joseph S. Myers  <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>:
        * ltmain.in: Typo.

2001-11-15   Mo DeJong  <supermo@bayarea.net>

        * ltmain.in: Place parens around a generated relink_command
        so it is run is a subshell. This avoids an install error
        where libtool ended up in the wrong directory after
        relinking a .la file.

2001-10-31  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * configure.ac (pkgdatadir): Move the invocation of AC_INIT_AUTOMAKE
        before the use of $PACKAGE in $pkgdatadir.
        Reported by Bob Friesenhahn <bfreisen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

2001-10-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Tom Bates  <Tom.Bates@compaq.com>:
        * libtool.m4 [mips-compaq-nonstopux]: New port.
        * ltmain.in [mips-compaq-nonstopux]: Support
        $version_type == nonstopux.

2001-10-28  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (foreach_dirinpath): change some types to size_t
        from int because strlen() returns size_t. argz_len changed to
        size_t because argzize_path() takes 3rd argument as size_t, not
        int.
        Based on lint run from Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

2001-10-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_TAGCONFIG): Cray sed does not allow character
        sets to contain the separator character.
        Reported by Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_WITH_LTDL): New macro to add `--with-included-ltdl'
        option to configure, but to find an appropriate ltdl library and
        append the right options to link it.

2001-10-24  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS): Remove a stray ' quote.

2001-10-24  H.J. Lu  <hjl@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.sh: Allow link against an archive when building a
        shared library.
        * libtool.m4 (lt_cv_deplibs_check_method): Always use
        file_magic for Linux ELF.

2001-10-12  Guido Draheim  <guidod-2001q3@gmx.de>

        * ltdl.m4: Changed "underscode to underscore".

2001-10-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * configure.ac: General modernisation and cleanup.
        * cdemo/configure.ac: Ditto.
        * demo/configure.ac: Ditto.
        * depdemo/configrue.ac: Ditto.
        * ltdl/configure.ac: Ditto.
        * ltdldemo/configure.ac: Ditto.
        * mdemo/configure.ac: Ditto.
        * pdemo/configure.ac: Ditto.
        * tagdemo/configure.ac: Ditto.

2001-10-04  Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Match function return type with prototype
        (add static initializer to file_not_found).

2001-09-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE): s/INCLTDL/LTDLINCL/ for
        consistency with gettext's INTLINCL.  Keep the old symbol too for
        backwards compatibility.
        (AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE): Ditto.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Distributing libltdl):  Adjust documentation.

2001-09-22  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_DLLIB): Even though HP-UX 10.20 and 11.00
        support shl_load *and* dlopen, dlopen works correctly only
        with a patch. Because we want to avoid the situation where we
        build on a system with the patch but deploy on a system without,
        use shl_load exclusively if found.

2001-09-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_FILE_LTDLL_C): Be carefule that the start
        marker searched for by sed must start in column 0.
        (_LT_AC_FILE_IMPGEN_C): Ditto.
        Reported by Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>

2001-09-22  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * libtool.m4 [mingw* cygwin*]: Small improvement for mingw-hosted
        tool support (while still running libtool on cygwin). In that case
        PATH_SEPARATOR is ':', but gcc -print-search-dirs still prints its
        search path with ';' as separator.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_RC, AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_RC_CONFIG): Add support for .rc
        files (Windows resource files), compiled by the resource compiler
        (windres in mingw) to .o files.
        (AC_PROG_NM): Minor bug fix for $PATH elements with spaces in
        them.
        * configure.ac: Use LT_AC_PROG_RC.
        * ltmain.in: Check for .rc files.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * ltmain.in: Add a space to $base_compile in the case statement,
        as the case labels checks for trailing spaces, but there aren't
        necessarily in $base_compile.

2001-09-22  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4: When setting archive_cmds for CC, don't
        test for $GXX but for $GCC on HP-UX. Indentation fixes.

2001-09-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>:
        * ltmain.in [cygwin* mingw*]: Take care of the difference between
        wrapper script name and executable name.

        * libtool.m4 (archive_cmds) [darwin1.[0-2]]: Darwin uses zsh-3.1.6
        for /bin/sh, and that shell does not handle escaped quotes
        properly yet.
        Reported by Christopher Pfisterer <cp@chrisp.de>

2001-09-21  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Match function return type with prototype
        (add static initializer to some functions) to prevent warnings
        from HP-UX cc.

2001-09-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Added support for dmalloc, and uncovered some
        memory bugs as a result.

2001-09-21  Albert Chin  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4: Don't include main() when testing for command to
        parse $NM output because some C++ compilers don't allow you to
        take the address of main (e.g. HP-UX aCC).

        * libtool.m4: Some uses of $GXX were unquoted, but GXX is either
        NULL or yes.  Use "$GXX".

2001-09-13  Assar Westerlund  <assar@sics.se>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_DLLIB): call dlopen with arguments so the test
        does not fail due to a prototype in dlfcn.h

2001-09-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Check for assert.h.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c:  If not, disable assertions manually.

2001-09-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * bootstrap: Be robust to having no files that need removing.

        * libltdl/configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump libltdl version to
        1.2.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdl_la_LDFLAGS):  Bump libtool library
        version info to 4:0:1.

2001-09-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4: No need to undefine([symbols]), proper quotation is
        enough.

2001-09-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4: CVS Autoconf guarantees a decent default IFS, so
        there is no need for us to preset it anymore.
        Be careful not to set IFS="${IFS}$PATH_SEPARATOR" for PATH
        splitting, otherwise spaces in directory names will be lost.
        Use $PATH_SEPARATOR... don't rely on $ac_path_separator, which was
        an autoconf internal until just now, when it disappeared!
        * ltmain.in: Default IFS once, at the start.
        Reported by Akim Demaille <akim@epita.fr>

2001-09-10   Brad  <brad@comstyle.com>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD): Missed an instance of
        Autoconf square bracket quoting style normalisation.

        * ltmain.in (-lc_r): Style improvement.

        * doc/libtool.texi: Remove obsolete references to ltconfig.
        * tests/quote.test: s/ltconfig/\$0/

2001-09-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4: Use Autoconf square bracket quoting style
        consistently throughout.

2001-09-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * bootstrap: Cleanup `autom4te' and `libtool' so that we don't
        get caught by something from a previous build.

        * libtool.m4 (archive_cmds, archive_expsym_cmds) [solaris*]: Revert
        my 2001-09-06 patch.
        (no_undefined_flag)i [solaris*]: Revert Alexandre's 2001-04-11 patch.

2001-09-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (foreach_dirinpath): argz_len should be a size_t.
        Reported by Albert Chin <china@thewrittenword.com>

2001-09-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) [solaris*]: Typo. s/GXX/GCC/.

        * libtool.m4 (archive_cmds, archive_expsym_cmds) [solaris*]: Changing
        no_undefined_flag from `-z text' to `-z defs' (see entry below at
        2001-04-11  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>) has a problem.
        when linking a shared library with gcc calling /usr/ccs/bin/ld (eg.
        the gcc supplied with Solaris 8 companion CD), using the flag
        -no-undefined, shared library linking will always fail because of
        the unresolved symbols from libgcc.a.  Consequently we have to
        provide a path to libgcc.a when linking shared libraries in
        conjunction with -no-undefined!

        From Michael Pruett <mpruett@engr.sgi.com>:
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (find_module): `0' valued arguments to
        tryall_dlopen_module() must be explicitly cast to avoid compiler
        warnings on some environments.

        From Daniel Johnson <danielj7@mac.com>:
        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) [darwin*]: Move from GNU
        ld section to non-GNU ld section.

2001-09-05  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

        * pdemo/Makefile.am (helldl):  Automake 1.4 can't find the target
        if we use helldl$(EXEEXT), and Automake 1.5 barfs unless we do.
        Using both targets to the left of the colon seems to work though!

2001-09-03  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * demo/Makefile.am (helldl):  Automake 1.4 can't find the target
        if we use helldl$(EXEEXT), and Automake 1.5 barfs unless we do.
        Using both targets to the left of the colon seems to work though!

2001-09-03  Brad  <brad@comstyle.com>

        * ltdl.m4 [AC_LTDL_SYS_DLOPEN_DEPLIBS]: Teach ltdl about the
        behavior of OpenBSD's dlopen().

2001-09-03  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>:
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (tryall_dlopen_module): Don't forget to propogate
        errors over recurse levels.

2001-09-03  Brad  <brad@comstyle.com>

        * libtool.m4 [openbsd*]: More improvements to the OpenBSD port.

2001-09-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Albert Chin <china@thewrittenword.com>:
        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG) [aix4*]: Be careful with
        shared namespaces for static and shared libs.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN_SELF): If all else fails, try dld_link from GNU
        DLD.

2001-09-02  Christopher Pfisterer <cp@chrisp.de>

        * libtool.m4, ltmain.in: Linker flag and version numbering fixes
        for darwin.

2001-09-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Based on a patch from Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>:
        * NEWS: updated.
        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LIB_LTDL): Check for unistd.h.
        * ltdl.c: Include unistd.h if it exists.
        (LTDL_SEARCHPATH_VAR): Macro to prevent hardcoding
        "LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH".
        (LTDL_ARCHIVE_EXT): Macro to prevent hardcoding ".la".
        (archive_ext): Have only one copy of ".la" in the readonly
        segment of the compiled library.
        (find_handle_callback): Don't bother trying to dlopen the file if
        it doesn't exist.
        (find_handle): Don't bother searching for files if no search_path
        was supplied.
        (file_not_found): A new function to determine whether the last
        error was due to a file not found condition.
        (try_dlopen): Renamed from lt_dlopen() and changed to have the
        same footprint as tryall_dlopen.  This involved a minor rewrite of
        much of the internals of this function.
        (lt_dlopen): A new function wrapped arounf try_dlopen().
        (lt_dlopenext): If a file already has a suitable extension, don't
        bother adding additional extensions and trying to open those.
        Tidy up the rest of the code to prevent continued searching with
        an eventual FILE_NOT_FOUND when a genuine failure earlier in the
        search process could be legitimately reported.

        * demo/Makefile.am (helldl$(EXEEXT)): Automake-1.5 made me change
        this from just `helldl'.

2001-07-31  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) Fixed a problem
        with export_symbols_cmds not being set for CXX tags, and
        not being properly set for any tag under AIX/Power.

2001-08-19  Ossama Othman  <ossama@uci.edu>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Corrected and improved
          error message that is displayed when there was a problem
          compiling the C++ test program.  It still mentioned the now
          non-existent `ltcf-cxx.sh' file.

        * doc/libtool.texi (LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): Removed
          parentheses at end of starting "defmac" line, as pointed out by
          makeinfo.

2001-08-18  Brad  <brad@comstyle.com>

        * ltmain.in: Do not remove -lm from deplibs for OpenBSD.

2001-08-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (argz_create_sep): Don't forget to include the
        terminating '\0' when counting argz_len.
        (argz_create_sep): When canonicalizing argz, don't forget to copy
        the terminating '\0', incase canonicalization has shortened argz.
        (argz_stringify): Don't covert the final '\0' to a separator.

2001-08-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlhandle_next): Now we can loop through all
        loaded module handles as originally intended.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlseterror): Oops.  This never worked
        either, due to a pair of typos.  Now fixed.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (N_ELEMENTS):  Deleted.  How come nobody noticed
        there was no way this could have ever worked?
        (lt_dlcaller_set_data): Now that valid caller_ids must be
        non-zero, allocate an addition entry in the caller_data vector and
        use a zero valued key as the end marker.
        (lt_dlcaller_get_data): Iterate up to the end marker in one pass.

2001-08-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlcaller_register): Caller ids are allocated
        starting from value `1', so that clients can use a value of zero
        to indicate that libltdl has not yet initialised.

        * ltmain.in (exec_cmd): Fix quoting in execute mode so that the
        double quotes added by libtool (to prevent lossage with embedded
        spaces in filenames etc.) are not interpreted as literals by the
        shell.

2001-08-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (find_file_callback): Fix a multiple free()
        bug.
        (tryall_dlopen_module): Remove some unused variables.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlinsertsearchdir): Calculate the address
        of the end of user_search_path correctly.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (rpl_argz_stringify): New fallback implementation.
        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_FUNC_ARGZ):  Test for argz_stringify in libc.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_argz_insertinorder): Renamed from
        lt_argz_insert to make room for...
        (lt_argz_insert): Wraps argz_insert with libltdl error handling.
        (lt_dlpath_insertdir): Insert new path elements into an
        argzized path.
        (lt_dlinsertsearchdir): New function to insert new search
        directories anywhere into user_search_path using the above.
        (lt_dladdsearchdir): Rewritten to use lt_dlpath_insertdir.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlinsertsearchdir): Prototype for export.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface): Document it.
        * NEWS: Updated,

2001-08-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Albert Chin <china@thewrittenword.com>:
        * ltmain.in [irix*]: $with_gcc is either "yes" or "" (empty string)
        with current autoconf, so we need to be robust to that when testing
        it,

2001-08-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Brad <brad@comstyle.com>:
        * libtool.m4 (deplibs_check_method) [aix*]: Removed redundant setting
        of this variable.

2001-08-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (load_deplibs): Insert missing 1st argument to
        LT_EMALLOC.

2001-08-05  Tim Van Holder  <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>

        * ltdl.m4: Canonicalize descriptive text used with
        AC_DEFINE.

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_PATH_SEPARATOR): Remove.
        (_LT_AC_PROG_ECHO_BACKSLASH): Use $ac_path_separator
        instead of $PATH_SEPARATOR.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Ditto.
        (_LT_AC_TAGCONFIG): Ditto.
        (AC_ENABLE_SHARED): Ditto.
        (AC_ENABLE_STATIC): Ditto.
        (AC_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL): Ditto.
        (AC_PATH_TOOL_PREFIX): Ditto.
        (AC_PATH_MAGIC): Ditto.
        (AC_PROG_LD): Ditto.

        _LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK -- this macro is used both to create the

        error.

        * ltmain.in (exec_cmd): New variable.  Don't exec programs within

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (strdup, strcmp, strchr, strrchr, memcpy, trim,
        free_vars):  Revoke inline keyword from declarations.  `static
        inline' is not very portable, and in addition Unixware 7.1.1's
        compiler says you can't access static variables from inline
        functions.
        Reported by Peter Eisentraut  <peter_e@gmx.net>

2001-04-24 Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4: Handle case where /bin/nm -p outputs multiple

          module (remove absolutely wrong quick hack)
        * ltmain.in (ILD): remove wrong comments about duplicate removal
        * ltmain.in (ILD): build a static-only module if it has
          static libraries in its dependencies (so that libltdl can
          safely load dependency_libs)
        * ltmain.in (argument parsing): prefix comparsions of -l args with X,
          replace -lc with `-framework System' _after_ the ILD passes
        * ltmain.in (argument parsing): support dl[pre]open
          for both .o and .lo files
        * ltmain.in (deplibs_check): use portable test syntax
        * ltmain.in (help): document -prefer-[non-]pic flags
        * ltmain.in: improve readablity by adding some comments,
          rename uninst_* to notinst_* (more adequate name)

2001-04-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * doc/PLATFORMS:  More updates from subscribers to
        libtool@gnu.org.

        From Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Make sure the *.test

        test suite,  Yay!
        From Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>
        * ltmain.in:  `test -L' is not portable, and infact breaks uninstall
        mode on Solaris.  Fallback to `test -h' and finally `test -f',
        but be careful not to let the failure status cause libtool to
        stop.

        From Simon Spero <ses@ibiblio.org>
        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_DLSYM_USCORE):  Add $LIBADD_DL while

        * bootstrap: Allow overriding the location aclocal, automake,
        autoconf, autoheader from the environment.

        * demo/Makefile.am: Automake 1.4e does not allow `+=' assignments
        if the variable was not set with `=' earlier.  `+=' was not useful
        here anyway.

2001-04-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4: Build standard shared libraries on AIX POWER
        more like AIX does, with a shared object archived into lib<xxx>.a.
        On AIX -bexpall flag does strange things... Don't use it.
        Fix quotes around -berok flag.  Add support for AIX 5.
        Add support for run time linking on AIX POWER. (should work
        on AIX 4.2 and up).  Turn this feature on by adding -brtl flag
        to LD_FLAGS.  Add support for AIX on IA64. Note: AIX on IA64
        uses a SYSV type linker.  Add a comment telling what to do if the

        to pass -rpath when compiling with gcc.
        Reported by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (sys_shl_open): Cache a handle for the `self'
        module, since HPUX adds module symbols into the `self' pool if
        it is opened later.  Return the cached pointer if the caller
        subsequently tries to open `self'.
        (sys_shl_sym): Diagnose NULL modules.

        From Peter Eisentraut  <peter_e@gmx.net>
        * ltmain.in (clean,uninstall): test -e is not portable.  Well,
        neither is -L, but I'm hoping that redirecting error messages
        to /dev/null and relying on non-zero exit status will work okay
        on the few hosts that don't support -L.

2001-04-08  Nick Hudson  <skrll@netbsd.org>

        * ltmain.in (clean,uninstall): Do not error if the file doesn't
        exist and 'rm -f' was used.  Exit with status 1 on error.

2001-04-06  Nick Hudson  <skrll@netbsd.org>

        * ltmain.in: Implement a new deplibs_check_method called

        reallocate the line buffer size if the line overflows the

        * configure.in: bumped version to 1.3e.

        GNU libtool 1.3d was released.

        * NEWS: inserted todays date.

2001-04-01  Christoph Pfisterer  <cp@chrisp.de>

        * libtool.m4: Fixed support for Darwin and Rhapsody. Now correctly
        hardcodes the library path and adds versioning. Other small
        fixes.
        * ltmain.in: Fixed special cases for libc and libm on Rhapsody and
        Darwin. One of them was misplaced. Added version_type case for
        Rhapsody and Darwin, named "darwin".

2001-03-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in: Remove the code for stripping duplicate deplibs
        from libtool link lines -- duplicates are somtimes necessary
        to satisfy inter-library dependencies, and never cause link to
        fail even if they are spurious.
        * tests/depdemo-dups.test: New file.  Make sure this bug doesn't
        creep back in again!
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Use the new test above.

2001-03-29  Edward M. Lee  <tailbert@yahoo.com>

        * libtoolize.in: Check configure.ac and prefer configure.ac to
        configure.in.

        * libtoolize.in: change recommendation from AM_PROG_LIBTOOL to
        AC_PROG_LIBTOOL.

        * libtool.m4: Generate dll/import libraries for cygwin according
        to the following: libFOO.a (static lib), libFOO.dll.a (import
        lib), cygFOO-version.dll (dll).  Update postinstall_cmds and
        postuninstall_cmds to reflect this.
        * ltmain.in: Generate installed .la files with dlnames set to
        ../bin/cygFOO-version.dll for normal dlls. dlls for modules
        remain with the .la file.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c:  Use windows paths while calling LoadLibrary.

2001-03-16  Albert Chin  <china@thewrittenword.com>

2001-03-09  Peter Eisentraut  <peter_e@gmx.net>

        * ltmain.in (clean): Automatically remove $objdir (usually '.libs').

        * ltconfig.in (library_names_spec): Undo latin-1 spaces I pasted
        in yesterday by mistake.

2001-03-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
        * libtool.m4 (export_symbols): On Windows, if the export_symbols
        file (which has been passed to libtool with the -export-symbols
        command line switch) already is a .def file, use it as is.

        * libtool.m4 (library_names_spec): Using m4 quotes correctly this
        time around!

        From Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
        * libtool.m4 (library_names_spec): Use an appropriate filename
        prefix for dlls -- lib for mingw; cyg for cygwin; pw for pw32.

2001-03-06  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

        * libtool.m4 (can_build_shared) [AIX 4.[01], GCC]: GCC up to
        2.96 can't build shared libraries reliably.  Disable them.

        * ltmain.in: When dropping dependencies of a -no-undefined
        library, give up on building a shared library.

2001-03-05  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

        * ltmain.sh: Don't quote the argument of case/esac and
        assignments.

2001-02-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Nick Hudson <skrll@netbsd.org>
        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SYS_DLOPEN_DEPLIBS): netbsd* is able to
        automatically load module deplibs without assistance from
        libltdl.

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SYS_DLOPEN_DEPLIBS): If we know that the host
        architecture automatically loads deplibs, then...
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (load_deplibs): ...don't manually load each one.

2001-01-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * TODO:  Updated.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (load_deplibs): If loading a deplib fails,
        don't sweat -- it may be a lib that is already statically linked
        into the loading application.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Clean up the shadowing of the global handles
        variable.
        (LT_DLRESIDENT_FLAGS): Add extra parens to satisfy -Wall.
