* m4/libtool.m4, ltmain.in: Rename shrext to shrext_cmds.

[libtool.git] / ChangeLog

2004-02-15  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4, ltmain.in: Rename shrext to shrext_cmds.
        
2004-02-13  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in, libtoolize.in, commit, config/mailnotify: Correctly
        quote usage of $basename and $dirname to avoid (unlikely) path
        expansion.

        * tests/sh.test: Test the config/ltmain.sh and libtoolize in the
        build directory not the source directory, where they won't exist
        during 'make distcheck'.
        * ltmain.in: Revert one line of previous intendation clean-up
        to enable one of the sh.test checks to pass.

        * tests/cdemo/configure.ac: Drop AC_PREREQ back to 2.54, this
        was debris from Gary's cvsapply going mad and wasn't backed
        out.

        * Makefile.am (pkgmacro_DATA): We have to distribute
        m4/ltversion.m4 because it can be needed before the Makefile
        that generates it exists.

2004-02-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * commit (MKSTAMP): Look for mkstamp in the right place.

2004-02-12  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * Makefile.maint, Makefile: Move rules intended for Libtool
        maintainers only out of the Makefile we distribute and into one
        that we only need keep in CVS.
        * README-alpha: Add -fMakefile.maint to the instructions where
        needed.
        
2004-02-12  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>
        Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: Fix typo: duplcations -> duplications,
        Fix indentation of a handful of badly indented blocks,
        Fix last remaining use of 'grep' to $GREP,
        Remove unnecessary trailing slash where we break a line on a
        command separator.
        * m4/libtool.m4: Also remove unnecessary trailing slash where
        we break a line on a command separator.
            
2004-02-12  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * m4/ltoptions.m4: This got committed by an over-keen Gary,
        but the support for this isn't ready yet and if aclocal decides
        to m4_include this (which it will) you'll get a non-functioning
        libtool.  Removed.

        * ltmain.in: Remove duplicated version checking block.

        * bootstrap, m4/libtool.m4: Argh, Gary went crazy after cvsapply
        went crazy and backed out more than he should've.  This patch puts
        some of it back again.

        * ltmain.in, libtoolize.in, commit, config/mailnotify: Remove
        $SED from definitions of $dirname and $basename and prefix each
        use with it instead.  Some shells (zsh) treat the expansion as
        a single command instead of a command with arguments.

        * config/mailnotify (func_sendmail): Look for sendmail in a
        couple of common non-PATH locations as well.

        * ltmain.in: Fix typo: macro's -> macros.

        * ltmain.in: Correct definition of basename sed expression to
        not include single quotes.

2004-02-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in: Use $progpath as for ltmain.in to work around the
        IRIX bug described below.
        * commit, config/mailnotify: Ditto. Resynch with cvs-utils HEAD.

2004-02-12  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>,
            Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in (progpath): Work around backward compatibility issue
        on IRIX 6.5. On IRIX 6.4+, sh is ksh but when the shell is invoked
        as "sh" and the current value of the _XPG environment variable is
        not equal to 1 (one), the special positional parameter $0, within
        a function call, is the name of the function. So, rather than
        using "$0" in functions, we set $progpath in the body and use that
        everywhere instead (incase of code refactoring later).
        (EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_MISMATCH): For clarity.

2004-02-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove config/mailnotify after all; it
        is of no use in a distribution tarball.

2004-02-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * commit: Fix cut-n-paste error.

        * commit: Completely change CVS/Root->name sed script to actually
        work when :ext: is not shown.

        * commit: Improve CVS/Root->name sed script to work when :ext: is
        not shown.

2004-02-11  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Fix typo: testring -> teststring.

2004-02-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * commit: Mail a nicer commit notification.

2004-02-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * NEWS, bootstrap, configure.ac, ltmain.in, m4/libtool.m4:
        * m4/lt~obsolete.m4, tests/cdemo/configure.ac: Arghh.  cvsapply just
        went crazy and committed a bunch of stuff that shouldn't have been
        in the last changeset.  The patch backs it all out.

        * config/mailnotify: New file for mailing commit notifications,
        imported from cvs-utils.
        * commit: Updated from cvs-utils and tweaked for libtool.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add config/mailnotify.

2004-02-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * bootstrap: Remove vcl.tmp, otherwise it can interfere with make.
        * Makefile.am (vcl.tmp): Move comment out of multi-line command,
        as this rule is called from bootstrap as if it were a Makefile.

        * m4/ltversion.in: New file to capture what version number macros
        are being used.
        * Makefile.am (m4/ltversion.m4): New rule to create it from
        m4/ltversion.in.
        (nodist_pkgmacro_DATA): Add m4/ltversion.m4.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Add m4/ltversion.in.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): AC_REQUIRE LTVERSION_VERSION
        from ltversion.m4.
        * bootstrap: Call the Makefile.am to create an initial
        m4/ltversion.m4.
        * ltmain.in: Diagnose version mismatches of various flavours.
        * TODO: Remove mismatch item.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * Makefile.am ($(top_builddir)/config.status): Removed.
        * configure.ac (CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES): This substitution is
        how automake-1.8 now informs all Makefiles when config.status
        needs to be rebuilt.
        Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@src.lip6.fr>

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Generate libtoolize from here.
        * Makefile.am (libtool, libtoolize): These rules are redundant.
        Automake generates better rules for remaking these files.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Catch unexpanded macros with
        beginning with LT_ and _LT_.
        * configure.ac (LT_MAJOR, LT_MINOR, LT_MICRO, LT_ALPHA): Renamed
        to lt_major, lt_minor, lt_micro, lt_alpha to save triggering the
        unexpanded macros error.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE): Removed.  We now require
        Autoconf 2.58, which ships this macro anyway.

        * Makefile.am: Comment typo.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_PREREQ): Declare the minimum release number
        that is required for the calling code.
        * doc/libtool.texi (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): Document it.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-02-05  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * ltmain.in (infer_tag, win32_libid): Style changes. Rename
        infer_tag to func_infer_tag and win32_libid to func_win32_libid.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (cygwin): rename win32_libid to func_win32_libid.

2004-02-04  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * ltmain.in (infer_tag): Move tag inferrence to a shell function.
        Also test $base_compile against $CC with escaped arguments. Bug
        reported by Geoff Keating <geoffk@apple.com>.

2004-02-03  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * Makefile.am (install-data-hook): Manually make config.guess
        and config.sub executable after they are installed as _DATA.
        We can't use _SCRIPTS because the various program name
        transforms may be applied to them.
        (dist_pkgdata_DATA): List config.guess and config.sub here
        (pkgdata_SCRIPTS): instead of here.

2003-02-03  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: Create temporary directory under a strict umask
        rather than running chmod afterwards, preventing a race
        condition where the directory could be replaced with a symbolic
        link in the time between the two commands.

2004-01-31  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARE): Change `echo to
        `$echo, causes problems when builtin echo is broken. Reported
        by Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>.

2004-01-27  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        This fixes release procedure problems discovered whilst making
        the 1.5.2 release.

        * Makefile.am (cvs-dist): Because we check whether ChangeLog
        has been committed, this rule can't be run with uncommitted
        source so we can't run 'commit' and don't need to run
        'make dist' a second time.  Fix CVS tag as it should be
        "release-X" not "Release-X".
        (cvs_commit): New rule for the cvs-release chain that runs
        'commit'
        (cvs-release): Depend on cvs-commit, depend on deltas instead of
        cvs-diff and xdelta.
        (cvs-diff): Removed, replaced with delta-diff.
        (delta-diff): Unpack and diff the old and new tarballs rather
        than using CVS, so we get a genuinely complete diff.
        (xdelta): Removed, replaced with delta-xdelta.
        (got-xdelta): New rule for improved reading.
        (delta-xdiff): Copied and cleaned up version of old xdelta rule.
        (deltas): Depends on delta-diff and delta-xdelta (make deltas).
        (cvs-news): Don't depend on timestamps, cvs-dist itself does now.
        (prev-tarball): This is the only place we need a LASTRELEASE check
        so copy the code here and remove the CHECK_RELEASE variable.
        (new-tarball): Check there's a new tarball (did cvs-dist work?)
        (FETCHFILES): Remove obsolete libltdl mentions.
        * README-alpha: Update CVS instructions as everything's changed
        on Savannah.
        (Release procedure): Update NEWS and ChangeLog after changing
        the version number (both times); Run 'make fetch' after running
        'configure' (difficult to do it beforehand); Require 'commit'
        before 'make cvs-dist' as that checks ChangeLog is committed;
        'make deltas' instead of 'cvs-diff' and 'xdelta', pass LASTRELEASE
        to make instead of OLDVERSION (and it's mandatory); Clean up
        uploading paragraph; Clearer announcement sending instruction;
        Removed ftp-upload@gnu.org mail as that's not necessary now;
        Make web page updating instructions a bit clearer; Add an instruction
        to update the manual for non-alphas.
        (Alpha release note template): Add a Subject; update CVS instructions.
        (Full release note template): Add a Subject; update CVS instructions.
        * configure.ac: Add dist-bzip2 to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE as we talk
        about bz2 files in our release announcements; remove old reference
        to OLDVERSION.

2004-01-25  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * NEWS: Include 1.5.2 release information.

2004-01-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        This fixes a bug in the libtoolize ltdl source installation rules,
        which were copying Makefile.in from the libtool tree into the
        package running libtoolize.  Now we explicitly list the files to
        copy to force the package to generate its own Makefile.in:

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdl_la_SOURCES, libltdlc_la_SOURCES):
        Add ltdl.h.
        (ltdldatadir): New variable for installation directory of
        libtoolize --ltdl files.
        (ltdldata_DATA): Tell automake what files to copy there at install
        time (and remove at unistall time!).
        (local-install-files): Removed.  This hack is not required
        anymore, the automake generated install rules are much more
        advanced than this.
        * Makefile.am (install-data-hook, uninstall-local): Removed.
        Libltdl files for libtoolize are installed by their own Makefile
        now.

2004-01-22  Jeff Squyres  <jsquyres@lam-mpi.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O): Some compilers
        (e.g. Intel Linux icc compiler) write temporary files to the current
        directory. These compilers do support -c and -o simultaneously but
        wrongly fail the test due to the failure to create temporary
        files. It is incorrect to penalize compilers which write temporary
        files to the current directory so the 'chmod -w .' is therefore
        removed.

2004-01-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_AC_PROG_EGREP): Wrapper for AC_PROG_GREP.
        AIX has a brain-dead grep that only handles lines < 2048
        characters.  Default GREP incase we are not using a future
        autoconf that sets it for us :-)  Changed all callers to use $GREP
        instead of grep, and to AC_REQUIRE LT_AC_PROG_EGREP.
        Declare GREP as a libtool config var.
        * ltmain.in: Use it.
        * tests/sh.test (scripts): Accept `if $GREP "^foo=bar"' by
        tightening the regexp.
        Reported by Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

2004-01-21  Nick Hudson  <skrll@netbsd.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER) [netbsd*]: Remove
        gratuitous ${libname}${release}${shared_ext} from
        library_names_spec.

2004-01-21  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LD_RELOAD_FLAG): On darwin change the
        reload_cmds to use $CC, otherwise ld will thin out any fat
        objects.

2004-01-18  Benjamin Reed  <ranger@befunk.com>

        * ltmain.in: Fix handling of frameworks in search paths.  Also
        a one-liner fix to eval shrext in the libtool library search.

2004-01-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require 1.8 for bootstrap, or
        else aclocal.m4 is huge, and m4 directory is not distributed.

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Create config.h in
        $top_srcdir.
        * m4/ltdl.m4 (AC_LIB_LTDL): Run AC_CONFIG_HEADERS for the user if
        necessary. Calculate filename from first argument to
        AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, and substitute as CONFIG_H.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Make sure we are searching in
        $top_srcdir for headers.
        (DEFS): Override the default HAVE_CONFIG_H with the config.h
        filename.
        (ltdl.lo): Reference config.h via $(CONFIG_H).
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (HAVE_CONFIG_H): Ditto.

2004-01-15  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * m4/lt~obsolete.m4: Add a file containing aclocal-fooling
        macro definitions which stop the contents of an installed
        libtool.m4 ending up in our aclocal.m4 when we bootstrap.
        * Makefile.am (pkgmacro_DATA): Note that we don't need to add
        lt~obsolete.m4 to this list.

2004-01-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_COPYING): Factor out copyright message so it
        only needs to be updated in one place.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Refactor to be more readable.  Only add
        tags if a compiler was found; ie if you have no gcj compiler,
        don't tack the GCJ tag onto the generated libtool script.

2004-01-13  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Quote shrext as it is evaled in ltmain.

2004-01-11  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: new -precious-files-regex link mode option
        to prevent removal of matching files from the temporary
        output directory.
        (Debian Bug #221420)
        * doc/libtool.texi: document the new option.
        * NEWS: announce the new option.

2004-01-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (func_copy_all_files): s/xfunc_copy/Xfunc_copy.
        Now the test can actually succeed sometimes.

2004-01-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in: Break out of the command argument parse loop when
        -- is encountered.

2004-01-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (func_copy_all_files): s/test "x/test "X/ to keep
        tests/sh.test happy.

2004-01-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (aclocal_macros, aclocal_DATA): Removed.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Remove m4 macro files; they are automatically
        added by automake.
        (pkgmacrodir): Where to install libtool macro files.
        (pkgmacro_DATA): List installable libtool macro files.
        (install-data-local): Remove previous versions of ltdl.m4 and
        libtool.m4 from their old location.
        * libtoolize.in: Use new pkgmacrodir installed macros when
        libtoolizing a project.  Treat libtool.m4 and ltdl.m4 specially,
        and func_serial_update() any other files from pkgmacrodir.
        (pkgmacrodir): Where to find installed libtool macro files.
        (aclocaldir): Removed.
        (func_copy_all_files): Add an optional callback parameter to
        control how files are copied.  If the callback is passed, don't
        tell it whether it can copy or not.
        (func_serial): Exchange parameters and make macro_regex optional,
        so that this function can be used to extract serial numbers from
        files with the traditional /^# serial [1-9][0-9]*$/ syntax.
        Changed all callers.
        (func_serial_update): Make macro_regex optional last parameter, so
        that this function can be used as a callback for
        func_copy_all_files().  Changed all callers.
        * m4/ltsugar.m4: Add a serial number.

2004-01-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        A complete rewrite of the m4 code involved in the generation of
        libtool via config.status.  The old way involved manually
        synchronising disparate bits of shell code in several macros, to
        quote a copy of a shell variable, put that in config.status, maybe
        add it to some quotation loops to prevent early expansion, and
        then add a block to _LT_CONFIG_COMMANDS to bring it into the
        libtool script.  The new way is to mark shell variables for
        propogation using _LT_DECL for language independent variables, or
        _LT_TAGDECL for those that need to be propogated in several
        language flavours.  The marking can be done in the macro that
        probes the variables, and this new m4 machinery takes care of
        synchronising all the other bits of code at autoconf time:

        * m4/ltsugar.m4:  New file.  Macros that are useful outside the
        context of libtool.  Initially, contains some generalised list
        management macros, and the scaffolding for dictionary type data
        storage and retrieval.
        * Makefile.am (aclocal_macros): Install ltsugar.m4.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_DECL): Mark a shell variable for export to
        the libtool script, along with a comment, and hints for quoting
        and renaming.
        (_LT_TAGDECL): Similarly mark a tagged shell variable for export
        in each tag.
        (lt_decl_tag_varnames, lt_decl_quote_varnames)
        (lt_decl_dquote_varnames, lt_decl_varnames_tagged)
        (lt_decl_all_varnames):  New utility macros for managing lists of
        shell variable names from _LT_DECL and _LT_TAGDECL.
        (_LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARATIONS, _LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARE):
        Expand to correctly quoted variable declarations in config.status
        from all marked shell variables.
        (_LT_LIBTOOL_DECLARE): Expand to commented and quoted variable
        declaration for libtool tag section.
        (_LT_LIBTOOL_CONFIG_VARS, _LT_LIBTOOL_TAG_VARS): Pass all marked
        variables to _LT_LIBTOOL_DECLARE.
        (_LT_CONFIG_COMMANDS): Use _LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARATIONS and
        friends to generate all the variable passing shell code for
        config.status, to get marked variables from libtool.m4 into
        libtool itself eventually.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Generate marked variable code for libtool tag
        configuration.  Changed all client macros to mark variables
        suitably rather than the hand pasting that was necessary
        previously.
        (AC_PROG_SED): Renamed from LT_AC_PROG_SED.
        (LT_AC_PROG_SED): Wrap AC_PROG_SED, and mark shell variables for
        propogation to the libtool script.

2004-01-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (seen_gettext): Removed unused variable.

2004-01-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (func_scan_files): Don't assume the existence of
        aclocal.m4.  Make the comment more descriptive.
        Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@src.lip6.fr>

        * NEWS: Note libtoolize changes.

        * ChangeLog.2003: New file, containing all the ChangeLog entries
        from 2003.  Trimmed ChangeLog accordingly.

        * ltmain.in: Output 2004 in the copyright from libtool --version.

        Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: Don't use the mkdir -p option when creating a
        temporary output directory so a symlink attack can't be used to
        arbitrarily chmod other directories on the system if libtool
        gets run as root.

2004-01-02  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Ensure that ${ZSH_VERSION+set} is properly escaped.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (CDPATH): Change the CDPATH setting so that it
        allows for zsh differences, as noted in the autoconf manual's
        Portable Shell - Special Shell Variables section.

2004-01-02  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * .cvsignore: Ignore stamp-vcl created by the Makefile.

2004-01-02  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>
        Joe Orton  <joe@manyfish.co.uk>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Add extra blackslash
        in front of all the inner double-quotes as this is removed
        on Solaris, IRIX and AIX leading to broken definitions
        in config.status.

2004-01-02  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * NEWS: Next release will be in 2004.
