* libtool.m4: Move the AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER check

[libtool.git] / ChangeLog

2003-04-09  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * libtool.m4: Move the AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER check
        to be before AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_HARDCODE_LIBPATH, becuase the
        value of shlibpath_overrides_runpath is used in the HARDCODE
        test and is set in the DYNAMIC_LINKER test.
        * ltmain.in(darwin): We never need to relink on darwin.

2003-04-09  Samuel Meder  <meder@mcs.anl.gov>

        * libtool.m4 Switch on `basename $CC` not $CC

2003-04-05  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * libtool.m4: if ZSH_VERSION is set then setopt NO_GLOB_SUBST so
        libtool works. Remove zsh echo test code, don't bother checking
        for zsh anymore in the darwin archive_expsym_cmds.

2003-04-05  Allan Sandfeld Jensen  <snowwolf@one2one-networks.com>

        * libtool.m4: Switch on $CC not $cc_basename.

2003-04-02  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * tests/defs: Quote $DJGPP to prevent problems with some shells.
        Pointed out by Albert Chin <libtool@thewrittenword.com>

2003-03-31  Keith Packard  <keithp@keithp.com>

        * ltmain.in: New flag -version-number to be used for maintaining
        compatability with a previously non-Libtool versioning scheme.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Document it.

2003-03-31  Naofumi Yasufuku  <naofumi@yasufuku.net>

        * ltmain.in (win32_libid): Fixed sed expression error in
        win32_nmres evaluation.

2003-03-31  Albert Chin  <libtool@thewrittenword.com>

        * ltmain.in: Don't pass -R flags found in a .la's dependency_libs
        variable directly down to the linker.
        Reported by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.nodak.edu>.

2003-03-28  Richard Dawe  <rich@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>

        * Makefile.am: Define CONF_SUBDIRS.

        libraries to be stripped on darwin.
        * TODO: Remove the todo about zsh's removal of excapes. note that zsh
        echo works perfectly well, eval is screwed up. Seems to be fixed in

        way the user can omit the shared library suffix by setting it
        to the empty string.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Strengthen renaming commands for
        the KCC compiler.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Link mode): Update the manual.

2003-02-17  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        piecewise archive linking by renaming object files when needed.

2003-02-05  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIBM): Search for a real symbol in
        the math library rather than 'main', it causes problems for
        C++ compilers with certain Auto* tools.
        (AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE): ditto.

2003-02-05  Christian Cornelssen  <ccorn@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        that the format string cannot be mistaken as an option.
        Reported by Martin MOKREJS.

2003-02-05  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4: Modify the sys_lib_search_path_spec to allow
        for either native sed or GNU sed to be used.

2003-02-04  Nick Hudson  <skrll@netbsd.org>

        * libtool.m4: don't use -nodefaultlibs in archive_commands
        or archive_expsym_commands on NetBSD.

2003-02-04  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4: Change setting of archive_cmds_need_lc

        be a program name with arguments. Original version stripped
        arguments for CC.

2003-01-28  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * ltmain.in: add code for a binary wrapper
        to use with uninstalled executables on cygwin/mingw.
        Make sure that --mode=clean gets shell wrapper and
        binary wrapper.  When sourcing the shell wrapper, 
        invoke using a terminal `.' on cygwin/mingw to 
        avoid the automatic append-.exe behavior.

2003-01-28  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4: Hardcode library paths into libraries on IRIX.

2003-01-18  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_COMPILER_PIC): Don't add -DPIC
        for languages other than C and C++.

2003-01-13  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4, ltmain.in: Add support for hppa*64* based on
        a patch by Ross Alexander <ross.alexander@uk.neceur.com>.
        Credit to Ross! Use +b to hardcode library runtime path.
        Add new variable, $hardcode_libdir_flag_spec_ld, that
        is equivalent to $hardcode_libdir_flag_spec but is used
        when ld is used for linking. This works around having to
        set wl=''.

2003-01-12  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Revert an
        accidental rearranging of dylib and so for darwin.

        "-shrext" option so that is works properly under Darwin.
        Modify the processing of 'gcc -print-search-dirs' under
        Darwin to make it behave like GNU gcc does.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Single quote $shrext.
        * ltimain.in: Expand shared_ext just before it is used
        so that it can be conditional on the value of $module.

2002-12-31  Benjamin Reed  <ranger@befunk.com>

        * ltmain.in [darwin]: disable lazy linking, needed
        to resolve C++ global constructor issues

2002-12-30  Ralph Schleicher  <rs@nunatak.allgaeu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): New libtool variable shrext.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Replace all hard coded shared
        library file name extensions in library_names_spec and
        soname_spec with $shrext.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Link mode): Document it.

2002-12-30  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): modify

        .def files via the -export-symbols switch.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS([TAGNAME]): in both the [CXX]
        branch and the default branch, improve $export_symbols_cmds
        so that DATA symbols are properly  labelled.  In the default
        branch, duplicate the _CXX_CONFIG correction for
        $archive_expsym_cmds.

2002-12-30  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_RC): AC_PROG_RC doesn't exist --
        but we do AC_DEFUN something called LT_AC_PROG_RC.
        Call that instead.

2002-12-30  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>
 
        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Copy the section
        for Darwin from AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS so that the CXX
        tag doesn't use the g++ defaults for the OS X compiler.

2002-12-30  Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4: Sync methods used to detect GNU ld.

        AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O): Do not escape } or ? in sed argument.

2002-12-19  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in: Use the sed program found by LT_AC_PROG_SED
        so that relink commands don't get truncated.

2002-12-11  Allan Sandfeld Jensen  <snowwolf@one2one-networks.com>

        * libtool.m4: Add support for Intel icc compiler for Linux.

2002-12-11  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in: Revert the version +1 change for IRIX, it could
        cause compatibility problems.

2002-11-22  Christian Cornelssen  <ccorn@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_COMPILER_OPTION,
        AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O): Changed method for compilation with
        custom flags to be language-independent.  Thereby removed
        CFLAGS/GCJFLAGS mixup bug.  Imitate Autoconf-style logging.
        Log entries no longer discarded by compilation failures.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG, _LT_AC_LANG_CXX_CONFIG,
        _LT_AC_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG): Tuned settings of
        lt_simple_compile_test_code and lt_simple_link_test_code
        to avoid warnings that could break some option detections.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_COMPILER_NO_RTTI): Removed
        redundant "-c conftest.$ac_ext" in the argument to
        AC_LIBTOOL_COMPILER_OPTION.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS): Replaced C-specific conftest
        source code with $lt_simple_compile_test_code, to support
        the "-lc" test with other languages.

2002-11-19  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        Don't assume that egrep and fgrep exist.  POSIX 1003.1-2001 no
        longer requires them; you're supposed to use grep -E and grep -F
        instead.  Also, don't assume that "test -a" works, since POSIX
        doesn't require it.

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER, _LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG,
        _LT_AC_LANG_CXX_CONFIG, AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE,
        AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS):
        egrep -> grep, when that makes no difference.
        * libtoolize.in: Likewise.
        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SYMBOL_USCORE): Likewise.

        * libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_EGREP):
        New macro, defined if Autoconf doesn't define.
        (AC_PATH_TOOL_PREFIX, AC_PROG_LD_GNU): Use it.
        (AC_PROG_LD, AC_PROG_NM, AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE):
        Use shell pattern matching rather than egrep.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Set lt_EGREP and EGREP.

2002-11-18  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * ltmain.in: When using gcc, pass -mfoo to the linker
        via $compiler_flags in order to pass architecture information to
        the linker (e.g. 32 vs 64-bit). This may also be accomplished via
        -Wl,-mfoo but this is not reliable with gcc because gcc may use
        -mfoo to select a different linker, different libraries, etc, while
        -Wl,-mfoo simply passes -mfoo to the linker. If there is a better
        solution, please let me know what it is.

2002-11-18  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * tests/Makefile.am: Conditional assignment of FFLAGS = @FFLAGS@
        does not appear to be necessary given that Automake makes this
        assignment by default.  The condition is removed since Automake
        1.7.1 complains about it.

2002-11-18  Jakub Jelinek  <jakub@redhat.com>

        * libtool.m4: Support linking of 64-bit libraries on
        sparc{,v[789]}-*linux*, s390*-*linux*, ppc*-*linux*
        GNU/Linux systems when the platform default is to build
        32-bit libraries.

2002-11-18  Andreas Jaeger  <aj@suse.de>, Bo Thorsen  <bo@suse.de>

        * libtool.m4: Support linking of 32-bit libraries with ld
        on the x86-64, ppc64, s390x and sparc64 GNU/Linux systems.

2002-11-18  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

        * ltmain.in: Do not change the PATH in the wrappers: let them
        launch the real binary using its path.

2002-11-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Library tips): Note array dimensions.

2002-11-18  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * tests/*.test: MinGW's MSYS treats files under /dev
        specially. This causes 'test -r /dev/null/config/site' to
        improperly report success, causing configure to fail. Change the
        CONFIG_SITE definition from "/dev/null/config/site" to
        "/nonexistent" to avoid this problem.

2002-11-18  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LOCK): remove support for ancient
        versions of mingw and cygwin.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_POSTDEP_PREDEP): new function.
        moved the "find hidden library dependencies" code here
        from AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG.  Attempted to make it
        multi-tag compatible, but currently only CXX calls it.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): set
        enable_shared_with_satic_runtimes to 'no' by default
        Set it to 'yes' for cygwin, mingw, pw32. Replace
        "find hidden library dependencies" code with a call
        to the new function AC_LIBTOOL_POSTDEP_PREDEP.
        Consolidate cygwin and mingw/pw32 stanzas.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_F77_CONFIG): set
        enable_shared_with_static_runtimes to 'no' by default
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): add
        enable_shared_with_static_runtimes to the list of variables
        to write into ltmain.sh; include it in the libtool script
        template as allow_libtool_libs_with_static_runtimes.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS): set
        enable_shared_with_static_runtimes to 'no' by default
        Set it to 'yes' for cygwin, mingw, pw32.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE): only put cr in regexp
        if the build_os is mingw, not host_os

        * ltmain.in (case deplibs_check_method): for all appropriate
        cases, if allow_libtool_libs_with_static_runtimes, then remove
        predeps and postdeps from the list of dependencies that must
        be checked for "dynamicness".  For the "none" case, the
        presence of compiler-generated postdeps and predeps should
        not trigger "inter-library dependencies not supported" error.
        (initial setup after arg processing): on cygwin/mingw, allow
        compiler-generated dependent libs to be duplicated without
        elimination.
        (initial search loop for deplibs): if the deplib in question
        is a libtool lib, then if
        allow_libtool_libs_with_static_runtimes then parse the .la file.
        If the .la file only has an "old_library", add the deplib
        directly to the deplibs list (-lstdc++) and DON'T use the .la
        file; this allows the (case deplibs_check_method) change above
        to take effect.
        * ltmain.in (for pass in $passes loop): remove predeps,
        postdeps, and compiler_lib_search_path from dependency_libs.

2002-11-08  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi: Add --mode=* to every example using libtool.

2002-11-03  Ossama Othman  <ossama@doc.ece.uci.edu>

        * ltmain.in: add support for installing into temporary
        staging area (e.g. 'make install DESTDIR=...')

2002-11-03  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): restore setting
        allow_undefined_flag=unsupported for cygwin and mingw.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS): ditto, for both "normal" gcc/ld
        and for the (unmaintained?) MSVC case.

2002-11-03  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Install mode): document new
        -inst-prefix option.

2002-11-02  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in: Print a warning if the mode is not specified.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Document the change that the mode must be
        specified.

2002-10-30  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O): use printf, not
        echo. (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD): use new shell function
        win32_libid on w32 platforms
        * ltmain.in: add new section for shell functions. Add
        win32_libid() shell function.
        * f77demo/Makefile.am: add -no-undefined flag

2002-10-30  Rob Browning  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * ltdl.c (realloc): Remove custom realloc. (#define
        rpl_realloc realloc) and comment out later code for custom
        realloc. You can't define your own malloc unless you know
        enough about the malloc in use to be able to tell how big
        the src ptr is. The disabled code incorrectly used the
        *destination* ptr to decide how much to copy. This
        sometimes results in out-of-bound accesses which cause
        segfaults. This is a quick hack for now; we may want
        something cleaner later. (tryall_dlopen_module): check to
        be sure (dirname_len > 0) before testing first character
        against '/'. (try_dlopen): check for feof(file) in read
        loop -- otherwise infloop?

2002-10-25  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in (-XCClinker): New flag passes a linking option
        directly to the compiler driver without appending ${wl}.

2002-10-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * README-alpha: Add some release not templates for inspiration and
        consistency at release time.

        * Makefile.am (cvs-diff): Compress the generated diff file, ready
        for upload to ftp.gnu.org.

2002-10-25  Howard Chu  <hyc@highlandsun.com>

        * ltmain.in [aix]: Be sure to deal with xlc_r, cc_r and other
        compiler variants.

2002-10-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_FILE_IMPGEN_C): Removed.  No longer used.
        (_LT_AC_FILE_LTDLL_C): Ditto.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG) [cygwin, mingw, pw32, os2]: Don't call
        _LT_AC_FILE_LTDLL_C or _LT_AC_FILE_IMPGEN_C.

2002-10-25  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4: When LDFLAGS="-Wl,-brtl,[other options]", the
        -brtl special-case code for AIX never gets triggered because
        were are being too specific about how we search for -brtl.
        Use case statement to avoid this. Remove extraneous
        semicolon.
        * ltmain.in: Recognize the IBM xlc compiler.

2002-10-24  Andrew Suffield  <asuffield@debian.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopenext): Corrected sense of "file not
        found" check.

2002-10-24  Ossama Othman  <ossama@doc.ece.uci.edu>

        * ltmain.in: Support compiler names matching g++*

2002-10-23  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * libtool.m4: Removed old Windows cruft.
        * libtool.m4: Adapted pw32 to be like Cygwin/MinGW.

2002-10-23  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        ltmain.in: Do not add 1 to the version under IRIX, it is
        not necessary.

2002-10-15  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN): avoid long delay on
         cygwin/Win9x when computing commandline length.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): fix postinstall_cmds when
        sources are in a subdirectory
        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SYSSEARCHPATH): use $PATH_SEPARATOR, not
        $ac_path_separator
        * configure.ac: move depdemo-specific stuff.  You must configure
        libtool before you can try './libtool --features'.
        * mdemo-inst.test: set $PATH to include the directory in which
        the modules are installed (on cygwin, DLL search path is the
        $PATH)

2002-10-15  Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * ltmain.in: MinGW works identically to Cygwin.
        * libtool.m4: lt_cv_sys_max_cmd_len hard-coded to 8192
        *  Model MinGW configuration after Cygwin configuration.
        Some portions share implementation.

2002-10-15  Elizabeth Barham <soggytrousers@yahoo.com>

        * libtool.m4: Pattern MinGW library naming after that
        used by Cygwin except use 'lib' prefix rather than 'cyg'.
        * Transfer some configuration from Cygwin with adjustments
        for MinGW.

2002-10-15  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4: When a module is built for AIX, the 'lib'
        prefix isn't needed, neither is the version. AIX dlopen
        will honor the RPATH in a library.

2002-10-11  Christoph Egger  <Christoph_Egger@gmx.de>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS, darwin): Add
        -install_name to the link line only when -dynamiclib is
        specified for a module.  Use -bind_at_load when linking C++
        shared libraries.

2002-10-04  Elizabeth Barham  <soggytrousers@yahoo.com>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): GCC now checks -shared to
        create a dll for Windows targets.

2002-09-24  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in: Fixed a few spelling errors.

2002-09-17  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Commented out access() call that checks for a
        library file's existence and permissions, as it appears to fail
        in every case.

2002-09-09  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4: Custom $symcode for Tru64 UNIX to catch 'Q',
        read-only constants.

2002-09-09  Rainer Orth  <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.de>

        * libtool.m4 (osf[345]): Append $major to soname_spec.
        Reflect this in library_names_spec.
        * ltmain.in (osf): Prefix $major with '.' for use as extension.

2002-08-28  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * ltdl.m4 & libltdl/ltdl.c: Port fully to native Win32 API.

2002-07-31  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * f77demo/.cvsignore: New file, forgotten in the last commit.

2002-07-31  Eric Lindahl  <erik@theophys.kth.se>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): Added support for the new F77
        Fortran support tag.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O, _LT_AC_TAGCONFIG): Support F77 tag.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_F77, _LT_AC_LANG_F77, AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_F77_CONFIG):
        New macros for F77 tag Fortran support.
        * configure.ac: Add support for creating the new F77 tag.
        * bootstrap: Add f77demo directory to the list to be processed.
        * Makefile.am: Add support for FFLAGS and FLIBS.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Add new Fortran tests.
        * tests/f77demo-*.test: New files.
        * f77demo/configure.ac, f77demo/cprogram.c, f77demo/fooc.c
        * f77demo/foof.f, f77demo/foo.h, f77demo/fprogram.f
        * f77demo/Makefile.am, f77demo/README: New files.

2002-07-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (tryall_dlopen): We need to catch missing file
        errors early so that file_not_found() can detect what happened.

2002-06-26  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfreisen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER) [mingw]: Remove
        extraneous '=' character which appears in gcc 3.1
        -print-search-dirs output.
        Handle both upper and lower case drive letters when testing for
        Windows vs POSIX style path output from -print-search-dirs
        output.

2002-06-24  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in (Piecewise linking): Add a clause to skip creating
        the export file until the reloadable object file(s) have been
        created, then use them as input for $export_symbols_cmds.

2002-06-23  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SYS_DLOPEN_DEPLIBS): Need to quote [ and ] for
        Autoconf.

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SYS_DLOPEN_DEPLIBS): HP/UX needs
        libltdl_cv_sys_dlopen_deplibs set to yes.

2002-06-23  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, _LT_AC_LOCK): Use
        AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE to test AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL and
        AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN, necessary for autoconf 2.53.

2002-06-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (argz_insert): Actually, BEFORE can be NULL
        when *PARGZ_LEN is non-NULL, so the assertion to the contrary was
        bogus.
        Reported by Bob Friesenhahn <bfreisen@simple.dallas.tx.us>
        and Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>

2002-06-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (foreach_dirinpath): Ensure that filename is '\0'
        terminated by all code paths.
        Reported by Lutz Müller <lutz@users.sourceforge.net>

2002-06-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>:
        * doc/libtool.texi (Platform quirks): s/dependan/dependen/
        * libtool.m4 (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD): Ditto.
        * TODO: Ditto.

2002-06-13  Rainer Orth  <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>

        * ltmain.in (irix, nonstopux): Set major before use.

2002-06-11  Daniel Kobras  <kobras@linux.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (try_dlopen): Don't return bogus handle to user
          if tryall_dlopen() fails.

2002-06-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * tests/pdemo-exec.test: Typo.  s/hell-static/hell_static/

2002-05-31  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * NEWS: Updated.
        * libtool.m4: use $NM to create the symbol list on cygwin, not
        $ltdll_cmds as on mingw.  For all tags, (and host=cygwin) set
        allow_undefined_flag="" so that the --auto-import magic
        works properly.  For all tags (and host=cygiwn) set
        always_export_symbols=no -- it is unnecessary thanks to
        binutils' auto-export magic.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Don't force cygwin to use the LoadLibrary
        wrapper; use cygwin's builtin implementatino of dl*.
        * cdemo/Makefile.am: the downside of unsetting
        'allow_undefined_flag' -- we must include -no-undefined
        in the _la_LDFLAGS variable.
        * depdemo/l1/Makefile.am: ditto.
        * depdemo/l2/Makefile.am: ditto.
        * depdemo/l3/Makefile.am: ditto.
        * depdemo/l4/Makefile.am: ditto.
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: ditto.
        * tagdemo/Makefile.am: ditto.
        * demo/Makefile.am: ditto.  But also, we must make special
        provision to clean up the hell0 wrapper script.
        * pdemo/Makefile.am: ditto -no-undefined.  ditto hell0.
        And use 'hell_static' instead of 'hell.static'.
        * tests/pdemo-inst.test: use 'hell_static' instead
        of 'hell.static'.
        * tests/pdemo-exec.test: ditto.

2002-05-30  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * tests/build-relink2.test: look for installed libl3.la
        in $prefix/lib/ as well as $prefix/lib/extra/.

2002-05-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * tests/hardcode.test: Use libtool --config to collect the
        variable values for the test, otherwise the tag values interfere
        with a straight grep.

2002-05-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Finally fix the annoying bug which always adds all tags to the
        libtool script built by your project configure.  Now we set the
        default tags depending on whether AC_PROG_CXX et. al. are actually
        called from configure.ac.

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_TAGCONFIG): Don't default the tagnames when
        no --with-tags argument is given.
        (_LT_AC_SHELL_INIT): Factored out from the AC_DIVERT_PUSH code
        in...
        (_LT_AC_PROG_ECHO_BACKSLASH): ...which now calls the macro
        instead.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CXX): Use _LT_AC_SHELL_INIT to add CXX to the
        initialisation sequence for tagnames.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_GCJ): Similarly for GCJ tag.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_RC): Likewise for RC tag.

2002-05-21  Jon Meredith  <jonm@alchemetrics.co.uk>

        * ltmain.in: Fix a problem on SCO OpenServer5 that caused a
        failure in three depdemo-make tests. For some reason the linker
        tries to find the dependent libraries using the library search
        path before it has read the libraries specified with absolute
        paths in the full commandline. This patch add -L's for each of
        the dependent library directories so that they can be resolved.

2002-05-09  Nick Hudson  <skrll@netbsd.org>

        * libtool.m4: Update support for NetBSD
        * ltdl.m4: Make sure that libltdl_cv_func_dlopen and
        libltdl_cv_lib_dl_dlopen are set and used instead of the
        ac_cv_ versions. Also, use lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe
        instread of global_symbol_pipe. This fixes the detection of
        dlopen on BSD derived plaforms and more importantly fixes
        need_uscore detection.

2002-05-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS): head -1 -> sed 1q to
        port to POSIX 1003.1-2001 hosts, like textutils 2.0.21 with
        _POSIX2_VERSION=200112.

2002-05-06  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * ltmain.in: Don't assume that "sort +2" works, as POSIX
        1003.1-2001 says that "sort +2" is supposed to sort the file
        named "+2".  An example host that behaves like this is
        textutils 2.0.21 with _POSIX2_VERSION=200112.

2002-05-06  Loren James Rittle  <rittle@latour.rsch.comm.mot.com>

        * ltmain.in: Detect and handle object name conflicts while
        piecewise linking a static library.

2002-05-02  Dave Vasilevsky  <thevas@mac.com>

        * ltmain.in: Remove convenience libraries from deplibs for Darwin.

2002-05-02  Fritz Elfert  <felfert@to.com>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN): Use $build_os not $host_os.

2002-04-14  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi (C++ libraries): Finally updated to reflect
        Libtool's support for C++.

        refactor it a bit.

2002-04-01  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in: Handle the case when no tag is explicitly set, and
        $base_compile has a space in front of $CC, and revert the setting
        of tagname checked in on 2002-3-14.

2002-04-01  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

2002-03-14  Anthony Green  <green@redhat.com>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O): Albert Chin's gcj fix.

        library normally.
        [cygwin]: Declare C++ compiler characterisics for g++, taking into
        account the new auto-import support in cygwin ld.
        * ltmain.in (specialdeplibs) [cygwin]: Be careful about
        eliminating duplicate -lgcc's from the link line.
        [cygwin]: Be smarter about .exe suffixes.
        * demo/configure.ac (AC_EXEEXT, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL):  Support

        * demo/foo.h [cygwin]: Sanitize cygwin dll support.

2002-01-28  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

        * libtool.m4 (LT_AC_PROG_SED): New macro tests sed for truncation of
        output.  AC_REQUIRE the new macro.
        * ltmain.in: Use $SED rather than plan old sed, as set by the new
        macro LT_AC_PROG_SED.

2002-01-10  Volker Christian  <voc@soft.uni-linz.ac.at>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (find_handle_callback): treat the result of a call

        in a directory from user_search_path.

2002-01-07  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

        * NEWS: Fixed wrong path for texinfo.tex.

        GNU libtool 1.4d was released.

        * configure.ac: Bumped version to 1.4d.
        * NEWS: updated.
        * config.guess, config.sub, texinfo.tex:  Synchronised from
        ftp.gnu.org.

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.

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.

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.

        * 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>:

        search process could be legitimately reported.

        Merge test improvements from multi-language-branch:
        * tests/defs: Find and set the value of CC probed by libtool.m4
        * tests/link-2.test: Use a .lo wrapper script, and the value of
        CC set by defs instead of hardcoding gcc.
        * tests/link.test: Use the value of CC set by defs instead of
        hardcoding gcc.
        * tests/quote.test: Ditto.
        * tests/suffix.test: Ditto.

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_COMPILER_PIC) [aix*]: Always set
        lt_prog_compiler_wl to `-Wl'.
        Reported by Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_DLLIB) [sco3.2*]: When searching for a dlopen
        implementation, and adding `-ldl' has failed, try linking a call
        to dlopen, #including dlfcn.h, and without -ldl.  On sco3.2 the
        header files redefines the interface symbols to point at the
        implementation symbols in libc.

        General cleanup of autoconf-2.50 upgrade:
        * configure.ac: Mark as needing autoconf-mode in
        emacs.  Pass arguments to AC_INIT.
        * cdemo/configure.ac: Ditto.
        * demo/configure.ac: Ditto.
        * depdemo/configure.ac: Ditto.

        emacs.  Don't add () to AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD.
        * libltdl/configure.ac: Use config-h.in as
        template for config.h.
        * tagdemo/configure.ac: Drop the AC_DIAGNOSTIC. Move
        AC_LANG([C++]) after the OBJEXT/EXEEXT check.

        From Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
        * tests/suffix.test: Typo in 2nd for loop.

        From Tim Van Holder <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (OBJECTS):  This was an implicit variable.
        instead state the list of object variables explicitly.

        From Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr>
        * libtool.m4:  undefine the m4 builtin `symbols', so that the
        string `symbols' can be used in the rest of the code without
        causing errors with autoconf-2.13.

        From "Golubev I. N." <gin@mo.msk.ru>
        * tests/Makefile.am (CPPLAGS): Typo. s/CPPLAGS/CPPFLAGS.

        * mdemo/Makefile,am (foo1_la_LIBADD): Add libsub.la, since foo1
        does use symbols from libsub.la -- only platforms that allow
        undefined symbols in libraries were able to cope with this
        previously.
        Reported by Robert Collins <robert.collins@itdomain.com.au>

        From "Golubev I. N." <gin@mo.msk.ru>
        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) [sco3.2v5*]: Needs
        -wl,-Bexport to make self dlopen work.

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE) [HPUX]: Define
        lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_to_c_name_address to be a sed expression
        for mangling the output of the symbol pipe into a brace delimited
        C declaration of symbol name and address.
        * ltmain.in: Use it to generate the fooS.c symbol name
        Reported by Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

2001-06-28  Tim Van Holder  <tim.van.holder@pandora.be>, Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * bootstrap: Use cp instead of ln -s, for systems without
        symlinks.  Reorder the statements to avoid repetition outside
        the loop.

2001-06-28  Paolo Bonzini  <bonzini@gnu.org>, Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Libtool now builds with the help of Autoconf-2.50!
        * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ):  Require Autoconf-2.50 or newer.
        (AC_PROG_CPP, AC_EXEEXT, AC_OBJEXT):  Removed.  Autoconf-2.50
        doesn't have the AC_REQUIRE bug that required these to be called
        explicitly from here.  Autoconf-2.50 uses this file instead of...

        * Makefile.am (libtool): libtool now depends on configure.ac.
        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LOCK):  Use 2.50's AC_LANG_PUSH/AC_LANG_POP
        instead of 2.13's AC_LANG_SAVE/AC_LANG_RESTORE.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_C_CONFIG): Ditto.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Ditto.
        * libtoolize.in:  Use $configure_ac, instead of hardcoding

2001-06-25  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        _LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK -- this macro is used both to create the
        primary (C language) libtool configuration from
