1 1997-12-19 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
3 * ltmain.in: Don't forget to quote the CDPATH substitution. From
6 1997-12-18 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@profitpress.com>
8 * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (CDPATH): Unset this environment variable
9 so that HP-UX shells, at least, don't print out the directory name
10 after a `cd' command. From Tor Lillqvist.
12 1997-12-10 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
14 * demo/Makefile.am (hardcode): Change a bunch of references to
15 `$(LIBS)' to `-lm', since we no longer put -lm in LIBS.
17 * demo/configure.in: Delete the test for libm, since it is
18 standard on every system.
20 * demo/Makefile.am (libhello_la_LDFLAGS): Change to include -lm,
21 in accordance with new inter-library dependency code.
23 * ltmain.in (dependency_libs): Added to help people link programs
24 without having to explicitly specify inter-library dependencies.
26 * ltconfig.in (COLLECT_NAMES): Oops... I forgot to apply the AIX 3
27 restriction to the generated libtool script. Reported by Stefan
30 1997-12-05 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
32 * ltconfig.in (thisdir): Quote $echo in the generated libtool
33 script for HP-UX. From Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer.
35 * ltmain.in (link): Recognize the `.s' suffix. From Markus
38 * ltconfig.in (link_static_flag): Don't quote ${wl} on HP-UX
39 because link_static_flag is never evaled. From Eric Backus.
41 * tests/suffix.test (extensions): Recognize `.s'. From Markus
44 1997-12-01 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
46 * demo/Makefile.am (helldl_DEPENDENCIES): Add `libhello.la' to our
47 dependencies so that parallel builds work correctly. From Jim
50 * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig, $(srcdir)/ltmain.sh): Rewrite
51 these rules so that they are parallelizable. Reported by Jim
54 * ltconfig.in (ltecho): We need special handling to quote the
55 `echo' variable itself. From Alexandre Oliva.
57 1997-11-29 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
59 * ltconfig.in (COLLECT_NAMES): Enable this workaround for a broken
60 collect2 only on AIX 3. This avoids problems on other AIX
61 versions. Reported by Stefan Westerfeld.
63 * ltmain.in, ltconfig.in (finish_eval): Variable like finish_cmds,
64 except it is a single command which is evaled, and not shown.
66 * ltconfig.in: Port to AmigaOS. From Joop van de Wege.
68 * ltmain.in (echo): Delete preamble to check for a working echo,
69 since we just use the one included in the generated libtool.
71 * ltconfig.in (echo): Include this definition in the generated
74 1997-11-28 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
76 * ltconfig.in, libtool.m4 (NM): Add /usr/ccs/bin to the PATH
77 before checking. From Kaveh R. Ghazi.
78 (NM): Delete an extraneous egrep from ltconfig.
80 * ltconfig.in (finish_cmds): Change back to using `ldconfig -n'.
81 This makes Linux behave like other systems, which is more in line
82 with what libtool needs.
84 1997-11-27 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
86 * ltmain.in: Change a whole bunch of `progname' variables to
87 `modename'. This is for clarity, and to fix a tiny typo in finish
90 * libtool.spec (Name, Version): Ditto.
92 * configure.in (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use PRCS to automatically generate
93 the proper package name and version number.
95 * ltconfig.in (gnu_ld_acts_native): Treat GNU ld like the native
96 linker on SunOS 4.x. Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
97 (deplibs): Change the defaults all over, since most systems cannot
98 handle inter-library dependencies.
100 * libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): Only look at the first line of the
101 output from NM when determining whether it supports a command line
102 option. This prevents false positives on OSes which ignore
103 invalid flags, like HP-UX, which prints `nm: unknown option "B"
104 ignored'. Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
106 * ltconfig.in (finish_cmds): On Linux, update ld.so.cache by
107 removing the `-n' flag from ldconfig. Suggested by Kenneth
110 * Makefile.am (maintainer-checkin, maintainer-release): New
111 commands to reap the full benefit of using PRCS to maintain
112 libtool version numbers.
114 * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (global_symbol_pipe): Explicitly cast all
115 addresses to __ptr_t. This fixes a bug due to a strict IRIX
116 compiler. Suggested by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
118 1997-11-23 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
120 * ltmain.in (echo): For aesthetics, avoid using `$echo' when
121 `echo' will do *exactly* the same thing. This prevents ugly
122 `printf %s\n timestamp > some.lo' commands from appearing in the
124 (link): Delete the `-allow-undefined' flag because it is now the
125 default. Make `-no-undefined' in order for people to declare that
126 a library is entirely self-contained. This prevents maintainers
127 from accidentally creating shared libraries that won't work on
128 AIX. Reported by Stefan Westerfeld and Danny Backx.
130 * ltconfig.in (echo): Use an echo variable, just as in ltmain.in,
131 because we need it for quoting substitutions. For most of the
132 script, though, use the default echo, just like Autoconf does.
133 Without this patch, character \001 ends up in global_symbol_pipe.
134 Reported by Lars Hecking and Jürgen Fluk.
136 * ltmain.in (echo): Set default to `echo=echo'. Ooops. That's
137 what you get for testing obscure code paths and forgetting to
138 revert to the original version. Reported by Danny Backx.
140 1997-11-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
142 * ltconfig.in (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Set to `-R' for FreeBSD
143 2.2. From Sean Kelly.
144 (postuninstall_cmds, old_postuninstall_cmds): Commands to run
145 after uninstall mode deletes the libraries. Suggested by Joop van
147 (export_dynamic_flag_spec): On HP-UX, add the `${wl}-E'
148 export_dynamic_flag_spec. Reported by Matthias Hoelzer.
150 1997-11-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
152 * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (sed_quote_subst): Oops. We forgot to
153 quote backticks. Reported by Joop van de Wege.
155 * tests/quote.test: Add backticks to the backslashify test.
157 1997-11-09 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
159 * ltconfig.in (symcode): On IRIX, don't extract undefined
160 symbols. When a function is inlined by G++, references to it are
161 still marked as undefined in the object file. This means that our
162 symbol file causes undefined references, because there are
163 actually no matching global symbols. Reported by Paul Kendall.
165 1997-11-08 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
167 * ltconfig.in: Don't forget to redirect the COLLECT_NAMES libtool
168 script fragment to the generated libtool, rather than to stdout.
170 1997-11-07 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
172 * libtool.m4 (LD): Add a more sophisticated test to determine the
173 ABI flag on IRIX 6. Suggested by Lars Hecking and Ian Lance
176 * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (COLLECT_NAMES): Only export this
177 variable if we are running under AIX. Otherwise, we tickle a g++
178 bug under IRIX. From Paul Kendall.
180 * Change bug reporting address to <bug-libtool@gnu.org>.
182 * ltconfig.in (allow_undefined_flag): OSF/1 3.x also requires a
183 wildcard argument to `-expect_unresolved'. From Stephan Kulow.
185 1997-11-06 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
187 * ltmain.in (link): Use libname_spec.
189 * ltconfig.in (pic_flag): Somehow, the HP-UX pic_flag (`+Z') was
190 dropped between libtool-1.0 and now. Add it back in. Reported by
192 Integrated more patches for OS/2. From Jeff Freedman.
193 (libname_spec): New variable for OSes that don't require their
194 libraries to look like `libNAME.a'.
196 * ltmain.in (link): Only use global_symbol_pipe if it has been
197 defined. From Stephan Kulow.
199 * ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): Protect C fragment under C++
200 compilers. From Stephan Kulow.
202 * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/acinclude.m4,
203 $(srcdir)/demo/acinclude.m4): Change rules to use LN_S so that
204 they can be run on any system.
206 * ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): For NetBSD, don't include deplibs.
209 * ltmain.in (mkdir): Check that the directory doesn't exist before
210 we exit with error, so that we don't get races during parallel
211 builds. From H.J. Lu.
212 (fbsd_hideous_sh_bug): Apparently, some FreeBSD /bin/sh's have a
213 bug that will empty base_compile unless we do this dummy
214 assignment. From Marc van Kempen.
216 1997-10-22 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
218 * libtool.m4 (libtool_shared, libtool_static): Fixed logic error
219 to reenable override of libtool's defaults by setting
220 enable_shared or enable_static in configure.in. Reported by Tom
221 Tromey and Stephan Kulow.
223 * ltmain.in (link): Add explicit support for compiler options that
224 begin with `+'. Reported by Aubert Pierre.
226 1997-10-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
228 * ltmain.in: Silly me. Change a bunch of occurances of "* $dir *"
231 * ltconfig.in (pic_flag): PIC is the default for AIX. From Mark
232 Kettenis. It is also the default for OSF/1.
234 * demo/Makefile.am (objdir): Quote double-quotes. From Mark
237 * ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): This variable is not
238 double-evaled, so it should not be double quoted. From Mark
241 1997-10-19 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
243 * ltconfig.in (LD): Same as below.
245 * libtool.m4 (LD): Set LD if we discover an absolute path to GNU
246 ld. This prevents breakage when `$CC -print-prog-name=ld' returns
247 an absolute directory name. Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
249 * ltconfig.in: Port to OS/2 using EMX. From Jeff Freedman.
251 * ltmain.in (link): Use old_archive_from_new_cmds.
253 * ltconfig.in (old_archive_from_new_cmds): New variable to
254 support DLL libraries.
256 * ltmain.in (link): Only `eval' export_dynamic_flag_spec if it is
257 not empty. Reported by Stephan Kulow.
259 1997-10-18 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
261 * ltconfig.in (objdir): Use the .libs directory on all systems for
262 which that name is valid, and _libs on the others (like MS-DOS).
263 Suggested by Juergen Erhard.
265 1997-10-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.org>
267 * ltmain.in (link): Added a bit more inter-language support to the
268 symbol file generation process.
269 Instead of complaining about unrecognized argument suffices, pass
270 them to the linker. This prevents libtool from barfing on
271 mandatory arguments to linker flags. Reported by Michael
274 1997-10-09 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
276 * ltmain.in (link): Change the wrapper script to follow symlinks
277 in order to find thisdir. This should put the final nail in the
278 coffin for problems with wrapper scripts. From Ian Lance Taylor.
280 1997-10-07 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
282 * ltmain.in: Change a few `$echo' commands into `$show' to make
283 --silent mode behave as advertised.
285 * ltconfig.in (allow_undefined_flag): On OSF/1 4.x, use
286 `-expect_unresolved \*'. From Christian Mondrup.
288 * ltmain.in (install): Change install mode to allow a specified
289 /bin/sh argument at the beginning of the install_prog. Also,
290 specify the shell to run when invoking libtool recursively for
291 finish mode. From Chris Provenzano.
293 * libtool.m4 (LIBTOOL): Change definition to include $(SHELL).
294 From Chris Provenzano.
296 * ltconfig.in: Port to UTS 4.x. From Alistair Crooks.
298 * demo/Makefile.am (hc-libflag): Add rules to make this binary for
301 * tests/hardcode.test (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Check the hardcoding
302 properties of the flag_spec, too.
304 1997-09-24 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
306 * ltconfig.in (LD): As with libtool.m4, don't override LD.
307 Do a whole bunch of ac_t quoting.
309 1997-09-24 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
311 * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LD): Don't override LD in the environment.
313 1997-09-21 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
315 * libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): Arguments to the for loop must be
316 whitespace separated. This fixes a bug under FreeBSD's /bin/sh.
319 * tests/defs, tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Change =inst to
320 _inst to fix portability on MS-DOS. From Robert Hoehne.
322 1997-09-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
324 * ltmain.in (deplibs): When building shared libraries, always add
325 -lc to deplibs. Reported by Andreas Jellinghaus.
327 1997-09-15 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
329 * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (COLLECT_NAMES): If the COLLECT_NAMES
330 environment variable has not been set, set it to empty. This
331 apparently fixes the AIX bug with GCC's collect2. Reported by
334 * demo/Makefile.am, ltmain.in, tests/hardcode.test (objdir):
335 Changed objdir variable .libs to _libs. This is another MS-DOS
336 portability fix. Suggested by Robert Hoehne.
338 * tests/hardcode.test (objdir): New variable to simplify change from
339 .libs to _libs (MS-DOS portability fix).
341 1997-09-13 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
343 * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (hardcode_minusL): Fix typo by renaming
344 hardcode_minusL to hardcode_minus_L. Also add FreeBSD
345 hardcode_libdir_flag_spec. From Paul Traina.
347 * ltmain.in (link): Honour multiple `-rpath' flags when linking
348 programs. Suggested by Bengt Martensson.
349 Quote appearances of $echo in the wrapper script. From Alexandre
352 * Makefile.am, configure.in, tests/tlibtool: Use ltmain.in instead
355 * ltmain.in: Rename ltmain.sh.in to ltmain.in. This fixes a
356 portability problem (on MS-DOS, of all places!). From Robert
359 1997-09-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
361 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Do not transform libtool objects to regular
362 objects if we did not build old libs. Reported by Tomas Hiller.
364 1997-09-05 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
366 * demo/Makefile.am (hell_debug_LDFLAGS): Change hell.static to
367 hell.debug in order to reflect the new static linking semantics.
369 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Add new `-all-static' flag to prevent all
370 dynamic linking. The old `-static' flag just prevents dynamic
371 linking against libtool libraries. Suggested by Bengt
374 * ltconfig.in (with_gnu_ld): Add a test to make sure that we are
375 actually using GNU ld. This fixes an inconsistency when running
376 ltconfig without using libtool.m4. Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
377 (global_symbol_pipe): Delete symbols that are not valid C
378 identifiers. Reported by Johan Danielsson and Bengt Martensson.
380 * tests/demo-exec.test, tests/demo-inst.test: Change references from
381 hell.static to hell.debug.
383 * tests/quote.test (echo): Add the same Digital Unix echo test fixes as
384 the ones to ltmain.sh.in from Todd Kover.
386 * tests/if.test, tests/test-e.test (scripts): Add ../lineno to
387 the scripts we check.
388 * tests/if.test: Check for accidental use of test X$something rather
389 than test "X$something".
391 1997-09-04 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
393 * ltmain.sh.in (echo): Quote all the uses of `echo' in all eval
394 statements. Reported by Bengt Martensson and Alexandre Oliva.
395 (echo): Need to surround test args with double quotes, or the echo
396 test fails on Digital Unix 4.0. From Todd Kover.
398 1997-08-28 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
400 * ltmain.sh.in (echo): Change test to one that uses printf.
401 This works on AIX, which has the same problems that Solaris does,
402 but no working echo program.
404 * tests/quote.test (echo): Change test to version that uses printf.
405 Be less strict about return results.
407 1997-08-27 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
409 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Make sure that compile_command and
410 finalize_command are always evaled. Quote any unknown linker
411 flags we need to pass through.
412 (compile): Use quoting for flags we pass.
413 (echo): I hate Sun! The /usr/bin/echo on Solaris handles
414 backslash sequences, which makes it impossible to do backslash
415 quoting using echo and sed. So, we search for an echo that obeys
416 the `echo '\t'` = '\t' equality. Then we use `$echo' everywhere
418 Put tabs back into the ${IFS= } sequences. Emacs untabify is
421 * ltconfig.in: Quote all variable values that may contain
422 metacharacters creating the libtool script. This provides
423 complete protection, so that even single-quotes may appear inside
424 a libtool variable value.
426 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Quote finalize_command before putting it in
429 * tests/quote.test (echo): Add the test for a non-backslash-mangling
432 1997-08-26 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
434 * ltmain.sh.in (sed_quote_subst): Change the quoting procedure
435 again. I think that the new one is robust for *all* characters,
436 including whitespace and metacharacters.
438 * tests/quote.test: New torture test for libtool metacharacter quoting.
440 1997-08-25 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
442 * ltmain.sh.in: Change quoting procedure because some shells
443 cannot handle `]' in scan sets. From Ian Dall.
445 1997-08-22 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
447 * ltmain.sh.in (execute): Added -dlopen flag handling. Suggested
450 1997-08-21 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
452 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Change executable wrapper to fix up value
453 of thisdir, as well as progdir, if the $0 path doesn't work. This
454 guarantees that shlibpath_var is set correctly. Add support for
457 * ltmain.sh.in (execute): New mode to automatically set
458 shlibpath_var, which allows easy debugging of uninstalled
459 executables and libraries. Suggested by Kenneth Albanowski.
461 1997-08-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
463 * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig): Use lineno.
465 * configure.in: Add AM_PROG_AWK for lineno.
467 * lineno: New program to automatically put line numbers in
470 * libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (AM_PROG_LD): Yet Another Rewrite, which
471 incorporates the results of `gcc -print-program-name=ld'.
472 Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
474 1997-08-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
476 * ltmain.sh.in: Accept `--quiet' and `--silent' flags to turn off
477 command echoing. From Juergen A. Erhard.
479 (compile): Recognize the Objective C `.m' extension. From Juergen
482 (compile): Suppress error output from the second compilation (if
483 any) so that we don't get those frustrating duplicate error
486 * tests/suffix.test (extensions): Added Objective C extension, `.m'.
488 1997-08-12 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
490 * ltconfig.in: Added messages to config.log to describe what sort
491 of test we are running.
492 (pic_flag): Added a sanity check for pic_flag. This should fix
493 bugs reported using the cc bundled with HP-UX 10. Suggested by
494 Bruno Haible and Akim Demaille.
496 1997-08-01 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
498 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Add -dlopen and -dlpreopen support for
499 libtool objects. This means that dlopened modules no longer need
500 to be shared libraries.
502 * ltconfig.in (pic_flag): GCC on IRIX 6 always builds PIC.
503 Reported by Ian Lance Taylor.
505 * libtool.m4 (LD): Always add `-n32' to the linker if we are using
506 GCC on IRIX 6. Reported by Ian Lance Taylor.
508 1997-07-30 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
510 * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Explicitly check enable_shared and
511 enable_static rather than just enableval. This allows
512 configure.in scripts to set their own defaults. Suggested by
515 1997-07-29 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
517 * ltmain.sh.in: Add NLS environment variable handling copied from
518 ltconfig.in. Reported by Akim Demaille.
519 (link): If allow_undefined_flag is not supported, then turn on old
520 libraries. Reported by Akim Demaille.
522 * demo/dlmain.c (main): Use dld_preloaded_symbol_count to display
523 a message about the sortedness of the symbol table.
525 * ltconfig.in (nlist): Use an nlist convenience variable, so that
526 code can be shared directly with ltmain.sh.in.
528 * ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (dld_preloaded_symbol_count): Count up
529 the number of symbols in the dld_preloaded_symbols. Set to `-1'
530 if the list wasn't both sorted and counted. This allows
531 applications to do a quick binary search, if they are so inclined.
533 1997-07-25 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
535 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Remove code for `-version-file', since it
536 has been long-deprecated.
538 Disable static linking if hardcode_direct is unsupported and there
539 is no working link_static_flag. This provides correct behaviour
540 for all cases on AIX 3, regardless of whether collect2 is broken
541 or not. Reported by Mark Kettenis.
543 * ltconfig.in: Fix typo in test polarity. From Mark Kettenis.
545 1997-07-24 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
547 * ltconfig.in (hardcode_direct): Set to `unsupported' if aix3 uses
548 a broken collect2. Adapted out of test results from Mark
550 (link_static_flag): Make sure the link_static_flag actually works
551 with a trivial binary.
553 * ltmain.sh.in, ltconfig.in (export_dynamic_flag_spec): Renamed
554 from export_dynamic_flag because we eval it in ltmain.sh.
556 * ltmain.sh.in (link_static): Don't eval link_static_flag.
558 * demo/dlmain.c (main): Change function prototype to be KNR
559 compatible. From Kaveh R. Ghazi.
561 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Use no_builtin_flag. This works around
562 conflicting definitions of builtin functions with at least GCC.
563 Reported by Kazuhiro Sasayama.
565 * ltconfig.in (no_builtin_flag): New flag to turn off builtin
566 functions when compiling an object file.
567 (pipe_works): Use it.
569 * tests/demo-exec.test (status): Use status variables so that we try to
570 execute all the programs.
572 1997-07-23 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
574 * ltconfig.in (pic_flag): According to the libg++ 2.7.2 configure
575 script, DEC alpha CPUs are PIC-only, as well. Reported by Kevin
578 1997-07-21 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
580 * ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in: Replace all occurances of "sed 'X;
581 Y'" with "sed -e 'X' -e 'Y'".
583 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Finish full integration for `-dlopen' and
586 Fix two silly typos where I used a compile_command in place of a
587 finalize_command, and vice versa.
589 Change the wrapper script to check a hardcoded path only if the
590 argv[0] method fails. This is a compromise for the previous two
591 patches, and should solve the majority of problems with wrapper
592 scripts. From Kenneth Albanowski.
594 (link): Change a reference to hardcode_libdir_colon_separated to
595 use the new hardcode_libdir_separator variable.
597 * demo/Makefile.am (helldl_LDFLAGS): Add `-export-dynamic' and
598 `-dlpreopen' for building helldl.
600 * demo/dlmain.c (main): Succeed, even if none of the libhello
601 symbols have been preloaded.
603 1997-07-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
605 * ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): Add `U' to the accepted global
606 symbol types. This means that we will get duplicate symbols, but
607 we'll also be sure to get all global symbols used by the program.
609 * ltconfig.in (pipe_works), ltmain.sh.in (link): Sort and make
610 symbol output unique.
612 1997-07-19 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
614 * ltconfig.in (pipe_works): Check to make sure our guessed
615 global_symbol_pipe actually works.
617 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Revert change from Kenneth Albanowski. The
618 wrapper scripts are more reliable when they just use the argv[0]
619 value. Generally, when the argv[0] method doesn't work, the user
620 is trying to do something weird with an uninstalled binary, and
621 should try a different approach.
623 * ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (CC): Always use `$CC' instead of
624 `$cc'. This fixes a FreeBSD bug. Reported by Chuck Robey, and
627 1997-07-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
629 * ltmain.sh.in (link): In wrapper scripts, hardcode the current
630 directory to prevent phony argv[0] values from screwing up our
631 program. From Kenneth Albanowski.
633 1997-07-13 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
635 * Makefile.am (demo_distfiles): Add demo/dlmain.c to the
638 1997-07-12 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
640 * demo/Makefile.am: Add helldl, made from dlmain.c, to demostrate
643 * demo/dlmain.c: New file to demonstrate preloaded modules.
645 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Add `-dlopen' flag to preload dynamic
646 modules, even on static platforms. Use `$NM' and
647 `$global_symbol_cmd' to extract symbols from required files.
648 (dlname): Delete dlname mode entirely. It is rendered obsolete
649 because the `.la' file format is now a public interface.
651 * ltconfig.in (NM): New variable for BSD-compatible nm program.
652 (global_symbol_cmd): Pipeline to extract global symbols from the
655 * ltmain.sh.in: The .la file header should depend on `ltmain.sh',
657 (link): Make sure $export_dynamic_flag is eval'ed before it is
660 * tests/demo-exec.test, tests/demo-inst.test: Check the new
663 1997-07-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
665 * libtool.spec: New Red Hat Package Manager specification file in
666 order to help people prepare distributions of libtool for Linux.
668 * ltmain.sh.in: Eliminate two accidental uses of the NONE magic
669 value. These were breaking libtool's behaviour when no mode is
672 * tests/nomode.test: New test to make sure there is correct behaviour
673 when we don't specify a mode.
675 1997-07-08 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
679 * ltconfig.in: On SunOS, append /usr/etc to the PATH before
680 running ldconfig; on *BSD, append /sbin. This was done in line
681 with the Linux change suggested by Kenneth Albanowski.
683 * demo/Makefile.am (hardcode_tests): Aesthetic change to
684 alphabetize order of compiling the hardcode tests.
686 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Delete README-automake.
688 * README-automake: Remove from distribution.
690 1997-07-02 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
692 * ltmain.sh.in (link): In the executable wrapper, strip trailing
693 colons from the shlibpath_var because some ld.so's, notably
694 OpenBSD 2.0's (!), don't parse colon-terminated values correctly.
697 1997-07-01 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
699 * ltmain.sh.in, ltconfig.in: Eliminate uses of the NONE magic
700 variable value. Use an empty variable instead.
702 * ltconfig.in (with_gcc, with_gnu_ld): Do the tests for the C
703 compiler and linker if the variables are unset, or if they are not
705 (RANLIB): Eliminate redundant `if' statement.
707 * configure.in: Use AM_PROG_LD.
709 * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LD_GNU): New macro to determine if LD is GNU
711 (AM_PROG_LD): Rename AM_PATH_PROG_LD to AM_PROG_LD. Parameterize
712 so that the user can specify `--with-gnu-ld' or `--without-gnu-ld'
713 to indicate his preference.
714 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Use it.
716 1997-06-30 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
718 * ltconfig.in: Append /sbin to the path before running ldconfig on
719 Linux. This helps superusers who haven't set their PATH
720 correctly. Suggested by Kenneth Albanowski.
722 * tests/if.test: New test to make sure that we haven't forgotten to
723 follow an `if' statement with a `test' command. This should avoid
724 the majority of hard-to-track bugs.
726 1997-06-29 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
728 * ltmain.sh.in: Change all the `eval "$run ..."' sequences to
731 Change all `$ln_s ...' sequences to use `(cd /dir && $LN_S ...)'.
732 This is the sequence recommended by the Autoconf manual, and
733 should avoid any problems on older machines. Eliminate all uses
734 of `cp -p'. Reported by Akim Demaille.
736 (install): Use `test $# -gt 0' instead of `test -n "$1"'.
738 * ltconfig.in (LN_S): Add test to see if `ln -s' works.
740 * libtool.m4: Increment serial number, and require AC_PROG_LN_S.
742 1997-06-26 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
744 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Add missing `test' statement. Reported by
747 1997-06-24 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
749 * libtool.m4 (LD): Consistently use ac_cv_path_ld instead of
750 am_cv_path_ld. From Tim Pierce.
752 1997-06-20 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
754 * ltmain.sh.in: Redo two robustness fixes. Alexandre had the
755 correct approach, but I botched them.
757 * ltconfig.in (dynamic_linker): Disable shared libraries on
758 MkLinux unless GNU libc is in use. Reported by Akim Demaille.
760 1997-06-19 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
762 * ltmain.sh.in (install): Add a missing `test' command. Reported
764 Miscellaneous fixes to improve robustness. From Alexandre Oliva.
766 * tests/demo-conf.test (CONFIG_SITE): Set to /dev/null, so that the
767 config.site file doesn't mess up our prefix. Reported by Joel
770 * tests/demo-inst.test: Always run both hell.static and hell.
772 * tests/demo-conf.test: Always remove the local config.cache, but run
773 `make distclean' only if the Makefile exists. Otherwise, the demo
774 directory is not cleaned up if a user uses their own config.cache.
775 Reported by Joel Weber.
777 1997-06-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
779 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Create invalid libtool objects when partial
780 linking if we don't have PIC. From Jeff Dairiki.
781 (install): Fix bug if libtool object is installed to a file name
782 without directory components. From Jeff Dairiki.
784 1997-06-13 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
786 * Makefile.am (demo/configure): Fix up rules to run autoconf.
787 (aclocal.m4): Now we depend on our own libtool.m4.
789 * configure.in (AM_PATH_PROG_LD): Use it.
791 * libtool.m4 (AM_PATH_PROG_LD): New macro to find the linker used
793 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Use it.
795 * ltmain.sh.in (install, uninstall): Support installing and
796 uninstalling `.lo' files. From Jeff Dairiki.
798 1997-06-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
800 * Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): Only move if $(srcdir) is not
801 the current directory. Don't regenerate every time the package is
802 reconfigured. Reported by Tom Tromey.
803 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Added ltconfig, ltmain.sh, so that
804 $(srcdir) is not messed with during a regular clean.
806 1997-06-10 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
808 * Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): Be sure to move these files
809 into $(srcdir) once they are created.
811 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Disable building static libraries.
812 People should use their favourite AR and RANLIB commands.
813 Disable building old-style objects if `--disable-static' is
814 given. Suggested by Tom Lees and Stephan Kulow.
816 1997-06-08 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
818 * ltconfig.in (host_cpu, host_vendor, host_os): Patch up
819 definitions, to allow for the fact that the host_os may contain
820 hyphens (as in linux-gnu). From Scott Goehring.
822 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Move the `dlname' setting closer to the top
823 of the file. Suggested by David Mosberger-Tang.
824 Symlink the libtool archive into the `.libs' directory so that it
825 can be found by programs that want to find a library's dlname by
826 searching LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Reported by David Mosberger-Tang.
828 1997-06-06 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
830 * Tell people to report bugs to the new libtool mailing list,
831 <bug-libtool@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.
833 1997-06-05 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
835 * ltconfig.in (allow_undefined_flag): New variable that implements
837 (archive_cmds): Enable C++ constructors for FreeBSD 2.2. From
840 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Accept new `-allow-undefined' flag when
841 building libtool libraries. This tells libtool to allow
842 unresolved symbols to exist in shared libraries. Basically, this
843 turns off shared libraries on AIX. Suggested by Ian Lance Taylor.
845 1997-05-26 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
847 * libtool.m4 (LD): On at least IRIX, many different flags need to
848 be propagated to the linker if they are part of the compiler
849 command line. Reported by Anthony Green.
851 1997-05-10 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
853 * ltconfig.in: Trivial port to FreeBSD 3. From David Nugent.
855 1997-04-25 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
857 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Remove all traces of `-whole-archive',
858 `-no-whole-archive', and libtool convenience libraries. They were
859 more trouble than they're worth. If these are ever reimplemented,
860 they need more careful attention to make portable.
862 * libtool.m4, ltconfig.in: Added a `--disable-static' flag to turn
863 off static library creation. From Tom Lees (who finally convinced
864 me that it was the Right Thing to do).
866 1997-04-22 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
868 * ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_runpath_var, runpath_var): Use them, if
869 the linker has no -rpath flag.
870 Quote the values we use to set runpath_var and shlibpath_var.
871 (link): Use libobjlibs for libtool convenience libraries.
873 * ltconfig.in (hardcode_runpath_var, runpath_var): Add new
874 variables to describe linkers that honour `LD_RUN_PATH'.
875 (host_cpu, host_os): Use these more specific variables, rather
876 than the full canonical host system name.
878 * ltmain.sh.in (dlname): Distinguish between missing
879 `-export-dynamic' and when the library is only statically linked.
881 1997-04-21 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
883 * ltconfig.in: Trivial port to OpenBSD by making it an alias for
884 NetBSD. From Tim Pierce.
886 1997-04-16 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
888 * ltconfig.in: Temporary measures to check for a broken collect2
889 program. Right now, we just see if we're using GCC on AIX 3.
891 * tests/hardcode.test: AIX also has arbitrary limits on the line length
892 of input to fgrep(1), so we need to translate NUL characters to
893 newlines in order to properly detect embedded `.libs'. From Bruno
895 Also redirect stderr to /dev/null, so that AIX users don't get
896 worried by `fgrep: Maximum line length of 2048 exceeded.'.
898 1997-04-13 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
900 * ltmain.sh.in (mode): Use `egrep -e' when inferring the operation
903 1997-04-12 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
905 * ltconfig.in (linker): Some GNU ld's don't accept `--version',
906 but do accept `-v'. From Jukka Honkela.
907 (ld_shlibs): AIX lossage may be settling down. AIX 3.2.5 ld does
908 *not* hardcode direct libraries, but AIX 4.1.[45] ld does.
910 1997-04-07 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
912 * ltconfig.in (hardcode_action): Fix silly logic error. From
915 1997-04-05 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
917 * ltmain.sh.in (install): Relink if hardcode_action is `relink',
918 rather than using complex conditionals based on the other
921 * ltconfig.in (hardcode_action): Set to `relink', not `immediate',
922 if we can only hardcode existing directories. Rearrange
923 conditionals to make the intent clearer, otherwise this can be one
924 hellish piece of code for the already-dizzy libtool maintainer.
926 1997-04-02 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
928 * replfunc.m4: Delete from the distribution. Documentation now
929 describes how to set LTALLOCA and LTLIBOBJS in your own
932 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Make sure a libtool library only counts as
933 a shared library if its library_names are non-null.
934 Use timestamps for .lo's when PIC is turned off, rather than
935 symlinking to the real object. This helps invalid mixtures of PIC
938 1997-04-01 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
940 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute libtool.prj.
942 * Shameless plug: Changed source code management system from CVS
945 * libtool.scm: Initial Guile implementation of libtool.
947 * ltmain.sh.in: An unexpected inconsistency in my whole approach
948 to shared libraries has proven that libtool needs to be completely
949 rewritten if I'm going to give full shared library support for
950 platforms that don't use the GNU C library version 2 (which to my
951 knowledge currently only works on GNU Hurd and Linux/GNU systems).
952 Porting the GNU C library should not be difficult, though.
954 Platforms that don't have the dlopen(3) family of functions will
955 need to install GNU DLD version 4 in order to build any kind of
956 libraries at all. Unfortunately, DLD 4 won't be released for a
957 while, because I maintain it, and I'm too busy working on libtool.
959 I'll keep the old ltconfig/ltmain.sh implementation around for as
960 long as I can, and continue applying bug fixes, so that I'll have
961 a reasonable starting point for this new libtool implementation.
963 It looks like this implementation will be even more complex than
964 the original (pre-0.7) libtool. Initial estimates show that it
965 may be up to 3 times slower, and 5 times larger than libtool-0.9.
966 I'll probably have to rewrite it in Guile to get reasonable
967 performance, which will severely limit its portability for a
970 That will also introduce a bootstrapping issue, since the next
971 release of Guile will use libtool to build shared libraries. So,
972 if users want to have shared Guile libraries, they will have to
973 configure Guile with `--disable-shared', compile it, install it,
974 then reconfigure Guile with `--enable-shared' and repeat.
976 I was hoping to get libtool 1.0 out the door by early April, but
977 now it looks like it will take at least another year before it'll
978 be usable by the public at large. April fools. libtool.scm
979 doesn't exist yet, either.
981 * ltconfig.in (verify_host): Remove redundant `Transform *-*-linux*
982 to *-*-linux-gnu*'. From Bruno Haible.
984 * tests/hardcode.test: AIX 3 doesn't have strings(1) so we need to do a
985 funny tr and pipe the output to fgrep. From Bruno Haible.
987 1997-03-31 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
989 * Makefile.am: Use the new AUTOMAKE and ACLOCAL variables.
991 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Only fail if a convenience library doesn't
992 exist, and the user specified -whole-archive.
993 Fix shell quoting that was breaking @OUTPUT@ substitution.
995 1997-03-28 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
997 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Use the hardcode_libdir_separator.
998 Convenience libraries are libtool objects if we're not building
1001 * ltconfig.in (hardcode_libdir_separator): Added in case the
1002 linker only honours the last of the -rpath flags (but it can
1003 contain multiple colon-separated directories), such as on OSF/1.
1004 Reported by Carl D. Roth.
1006 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Set the dlname if -export-dynamic is given.
1007 (install, uninstall): Handle the dlname file separately.
1009 * ltconfig.in (export_dynamic_flag): Added to allow programs to
1010 use reflexive dlopens.
1012 * ltmain.sh.in: Include the mode name in any help messages.
1013 (dlname): New mode to give the name to be used with dlopen(3).
1015 * ltconfig.in (AR): Allow AR to be set by the user, and export it
1018 * ltmain.sh.in: Remove broken profiled library support.
1019 Added `-whole-archive' and `-no-whole-archive' to manipulate
1020 convenience libraries.
1022 1997-03-27 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1024 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Allow the creation of static convenience
1025 libraries made of libtool objects. Suggested by David
1028 1997-03-25 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1030 * ltconfig.in: On AIX, libtool also needs to look for `B' symbols
1031 in nm output. These are global variable definitions.
1033 * ltmain.sh.in: Linking with -static should link against the
1034 linklib if old_library is empty (like it is on AIX).
1036 * ltconfig.in: Change the order of OS detection, so that
1037 linux-gnu* is detected before gnu*.
1039 * Makefile.am (libtool): Use the correct CC, RANLIB, LD, when
1040 generating libtool. From Carl D. Roth.
1042 * configure.in: Find out the user-supplied CC, LD, RANLIB. From
1045 1997-03-24 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1047 * ltmain.sh.in: Linking with -static should link against the old
1048 library, not linklib.
1050 * README-automake: Updated to point to Automake 1.1m.
1052 1997-03-15 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1054 * demo/main.c: Use it.
1056 * demo/foo.h: Declare it.
1058 * demo/foo.c: Added definition of `nothing' so that we have an
1059 global variable definition, as well as functions.
1061 1997-03-12 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1063 * ltconfig.in: Make sure either enable_shared or enable_static is
1064 configured. Reported by Tom Tromey.
1066 * ltmain.sh.in: Bomb out if no library types are configured.
1068 1997-02-22 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1070 * ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Renamed
1071 from `hardcode_libdir_flag'.
1072 (library_names_spec): Renamed from `lib_names'.
1074 * ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_action): Change value from
1075 `rpath' to `immediate'.
1077 * replfunc.m4: Add AM_FUNC_ALLOCA, AM_FUNC_MEMCMP, and
1078 AM_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS.
1080 1997-02-18 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1082 * ltconfig.in: Transform *-*-linux* to *-*-linux-gnu* to support
1083 old-style config.guess scripts.
1085 1997-02-17 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1087 * ltmain.sh.in: Create objdir *before* linking a program into it.
1089 1997-02-12 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1091 * ltconfig.in: Any ld --version that returns GNU is probably a GNU
1092 ld. From Marcus Daniels.
1094 * libtool.m4: Added AM_REPLACE_FUNCS.
1096 1997-02-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1098 * ltconfig.in: Trivial port to *-*-osf4. From Bruno Haible.
1100 1997-02-10 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1102 * ltconfig.in: AIX 3 and 4 ld only hardcodes LIBPATH if -L is not
1103 specified. This behaviour is the same with both xlc and gcc.
1105 1997-02-07 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1107 * doc/platforms.texi: Yaay! We found a workaround for HP-UX
1108 /bin/sh buffer overflows. From Eric Backus.
1110 1997-02-03 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1114 * PLATFORMS, doc/platforms.texi, Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am:
1115 Move PLATFORMS to doc/platforms.texi.
1117 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Use hardcode_libdir_flag to get a library
1118 directory into the resulting binary.
1119 Use hardcode_action, and make many simplifying changes to have
1120 compilation and finalization be consistent with each other.
1122 * ltconfig.in: Not so amazing! It's AIX cc that hardcodes direct
1123 libraries... gcc doesn't, though.
1124 (link_rpath_flag): Change link_rpath_flag to be
1125 hardcode_libdir_flag.
1126 (hardcode_action): New variable to simplify ltmain.sh.
1128 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Do the full make sequence with
1129 --disable-shared, then without.
1131 * tests/demo-sttc.test: Configure the demo directory with
1134 1997-01-29 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1136 * ltmain.sh.in: Change to take advantage of linkers that don't
1137 hardcode direct libraries.
1139 * ltconfig.in: Amazing! AIX 3 linker doesn't hardcode direct
1140 libraries, which makes it less buggy than AIX 4. Reported by Mark
1143 * demo/configure.in: Check for the math library.
1145 * demo/foo.c (foo): Change to use the `cos' function, so that we
1146 need to link against another library.
1148 * tests/hardcode.test: Rewrite to use fgrep on output from ``strings
1149 -a'' if using fgrep directly on the binary files fails. From Mark
1152 1997-01-28 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1154 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Export the PATH variable in order to find
1155 the program, rather than giving a full path. This helps give the
1156 program a less confusing value for argv[0].
1158 * tests/hardcode.test: Make sure that ../demo/libhello.la really is a
1159 shared library before running hardcoding tests.

1165 1997-01-24 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1167 * Makefile.am (demo_distfiles): Add demo/acinclude.m4 to the
1170 1997-01-22 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1172 * libtool.m4: For IRIX 6, ld needs -n32 if cc uses it. Reported
1175 * ltconfig.in: IRIX ld does not hardcode direct libraries.
1176 Reported by Bruno Haible.
1178 1997-01-18 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1180 * ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_shlibpath_var): Allow new
1181 value, `unsupported', since most linkers do not allow you to use
1182 shlibpath_var for initial linking.
1184 * ltconfig.in: Lots of bug fixes from Bruno Haible. Set wl on
1185 OSF/1, fix definitions of hardcode_* variables.
1186 (archive_cmds): Fix not to use +h on HP-UX 9.x. Reported by Bruno
1189 * tests/demo-conf.test: Use the CONFIG_SHELL environment variable when
1190 running configure in the demo directory. From Bruno Haible.
1192 * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Make distclean in the demo directory,
1193 so that ``make clean; env CC=cc make check'' works as one would
1196 * tests/demo-make.test: Fix typo (use $make instead of make). Reported
1199 1997-01-17 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1201 * libtoolize.in: Handle explicit AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR settings.
1202 Suggested by Akim Demaille.
1204 * libtool.m4: Change ltconfig line to use $CONFIG_SHELL when it is
1205 specified. Reported by Bruno Haible.
1207 1997-01-16 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1209 * demo/Makefile.am (hc-direct): Do better searching for the proper
1210 name to do a direct link.
1211 (hc-libpath): Make allowances if shlibpath_var cannot be used
1212 to find libraries at link time, such as on AIX.
1214 * Makefile.am (demo_distfiles): Remove ansi2knr.1 and ansi2knr.c.
1216 * demo/foo.c, demo/hello.c, demo/main.c: Change ANSI prototypes to
1217 KNR form, for better portability, and less ansi2knr hair.
1219 * demo/configure.in: Remove AM_FUNC_PROTOTYPES.
1221 * demo/Makefile.am: Remove ansi2knr from the AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
1223 * demo/ansi2knr.1, demo/ansi2knr.c: Removed these files.
1225 * ltmain.sh.in: Use 1>&2 consistently to direct errors and
1227 (compile): Fix missing single quote.
1229 * ltconfig.in (hardcode_direct): On Solaris at least, using
1230 DIR/libNAME.so does not hardcode DIR, so introduce a new hardcode
1231 variable to reflect that.
1233 * ltmain.sh.in (link): If linking with $link_static_flag fails,
1234 then retry without it, but still use the .a versions of
1235 uninstalled libtool archives.
1237 * tests/tlibtool: Rewrote to grab all the settings from the generated
1240 * tests/hardcode.test: Make allowances if shlibpath_var cannot be used
1241 to find libraries at link time, such as on AIX.
1243 1997-01-15 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1245 * ltmain.sh.in (link): Eval $link_static_flag. Reported by Bruno
1248 * PLATFORMS: Add to distribution. Suggested by Bruno Haible.
1250 1997-01-14 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1252 * tests/demo-conf.test, tests/demo-inst.test, tests/demo-unst.test,
1253 tests/hardcode.test:
1254 Use $make instead of make.
1256 * tests/defs (make): Add definition of $make that uses the $MAKE
1257 environment variable, if set. Suggested by Bruno Haible.
1259 * tests/demo-unst.test (leftovers): Change the find command to ignore
1260 files beginning with a dot, as egrep -v doesn't seem to do the
1261 trick. Reported by Bruno Haible.
1263 1997-01-13 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1265 * ltconfig.in: Add support for SCO OpenServer 5.x. From
1268 (can_build_shared): Initialize at the top of the file, so that
1269 shared libraries aren't built on platforms that don't support
1272 * tests/hardcode.test: Added a test to make sure that libtool's idea of
1273 hardcoding system linkers is correct.
1275 1997-01-11 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1277 * ltmain.sh.in, ltconfig.in, libtoolize.in, doc/libtool.texi:
1278 Update the copyright completion years.
1280 1997-01-08 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1282 * ltconfig.in: Port to IRIX 5.3, 6.2.
1284 1997-01-06 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1286 * ltconfig.in: HP-UX 9 support is the same as HP-UX 10, so the
1289 * libtoolize.in: Add --dry-run option, -n for short.
1291 1997-01-03 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1293 * ltmain.sh.in (link): On at least SunOS, /bin/sh doesn't
1294 understand "export something=val". From Bruno Haible.
1296 * tests/Makefile.am (distclean-local): Remove all files that the tests
1297 may have created. Reported by Bruno Haible.
1299 * For all tests, discover srcdir when running from the command
1302 * tests/demo-unst.test: Don't fail if make uninstall doesn't delete
1303 files beginning with a dot, since spurious .nfsXXX files may be
1304 present when running NFS. Reported by Bruno Haible.
1306 1997-01-02 Gordon Matzigkeit <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1308 * ltmain.sh.in (compile): Recognize valid source file suffixes for
1311 * tests/suffix.test: New test to guarantee that libtool compile
1312 recognizes valid source file suffices.
