Fix Changelog

[libtool.git] / ChangeLog.2000

2000-12-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From vvv@vsu.ru:
        * doc/fdl.texi (GNU Free Documentation License): contained @bye
        command which prevented part of document to be generated (indices,
        etc).
        * doc/libtool.texi (Dlpreopening): the @deftypevar did not contain
        a space after a type.

2000-12-22  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

        * libtool.m4: s/[ \t]*$//

2000-12-22  Aneesh Kumar K.V  <kvaneesh@hotmail.com>

        * libtool.m4 (OSF/1):  Revert my patch of 2000-12-16.

2000-12-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit): Was checking for residency of the
        wrong module.
        Reported by Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

        * ltmain.in (dlprefiles): Now that `2000-12-15 Utz-Uwe Haus' patch
        below can detect preopened library deplibs correctly in libltdl,
        we need to ensure that libtool library deplibs are also preloaded
        into the binary for that phase to work.

2000-12-16  Aneesh Kumar K.V  <kvaneesh@hotmail.com>

        * libtool.m4 (OSF/1): Change the way to pass linker flags through
        compiler on a Tru64 machine.

2000-12-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (sys_lib_search_path_spec): Use test instead of
        `['.
        (archive_cmds): And another one.

        * libtool.m4 (darwin*): Fixed a pair of stupid typos I made in the
        last patch.

        * libtool.m4 (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD):  moved rogue settings from
        sequent, ncr and newos6 back into here from other macros.

2000-12-16   Wilfredo Sanchez  <wsanchez@apple.com>

        * libtool.m4: (dyld/darwin*) Much improved port.

        methods to check for library dependencies on HPUX 11.

2000-12-16  Nick Hudson  <skrll@netbsd.org>

        * libtool.m4 (netbsd*, deplibs_check_method): Enable ILD support
        for NetBSD a.out.

2000-12-15  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE): Rename
        `ac_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe' as `lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe'.
        Similarly with `lt_cv_global_symbol_to_cdecl
        (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Similarly with `ac_cv_prog_cc_pic',
        `ac_cv_prog_cc_shlib', `ac_cv_prog_cc_wl', `ac_cv_prog_cc_static',
        `ac_cv_prog_cc_no_builtin', `ac_cv_prog_cc_can_build_shared',
        `ac_cv_prog_cc_static_works', `ac_cv_archive_cmds_need_lc'.
        (AC_PATH_TOOL_PREFIX): Similarly with `ac_cv_path_MAGIC_CMD'
        (AC_PROG_LD) <ac_cv_path_LD>: Likewise.
        (AC_PROG_LD_GNU) <ac_cv_prog_gnu_ld>: Likewise.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit): Reset the loaders value to zero when
        the last module has been unloaded.

        * doc/PLATFORMS: added note on tests on Reliant Unix

2000-12-14  Masahiro Nobori  <nobori@ss.titech.ac.jp>

        * README:  Updated.
        * NEWS: Updated.
        * libtool.m4:  New port to NEWS-OS Release 6.

2000-12-14  Nick Hudson  <skrll@netbsd.org>

        * libtool.m4 (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec):  Remove linker
        specification for netbsd.

2000-12-14  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

        * libtool.m4:  Don't depend on Autoconf internals:
        s/ac_cv_prog_gcc/GCC/.

2000-12-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE): Don't empty
        out ac_cv_global_symbol_to_cdecl inside the loop, incase we
        need to go around again and try with underscore prefix.
        (_LT_AC_TRY_DLOPEN_SELF): On some hosts (cygwin for instance)
        self dlclosing unloads the main program and causes a SIGSEGV.  So
        don't do it for now.

2000-12-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Oh My! Cygwin support has bitrotted while I was looking the other
        way.  This should fix it some:
        * libtool.m4 (extract_expsyms_cmds): There is a quoting problem
        with autoconf-2.13 that prevents [$]0 from expanding.  Use shell
        quotes instead to delay eval of $0.
        (impgen.c) The '# ' sequence stripped by sed works again.

2000-12-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface):  Add documentation.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlmakeresident, lt_dlisresident):  Add
        prototypes.
        (LT_DLERROR_CLOSE_RESIDENT_MODULE): New error status.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlmakeresident, lt_dlisresident):  Allow
        making and testing of resident module status, which prevents a
        module from being lt_dlclosed.
        (lt_dlopen):  If lt_dlopen()ing self, make the module resident.
        (lt_dlclose):  Return an error if the module is resident.

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Move the tests for dlopen
        from here...
        (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN_SELF): ...to here.
        (_LT_AC_CHECK_DLFCN):  Factor out repeated code for dlfcn.h
        (_LT_AC_TRY_DLOPEN_SELF): Factor out repeated code for
        checking dlopen status.
        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LIB_LTDL):  Use _LT_AC_CHECK_DLFCN.
        dlopen compile time checking.  Use _LT_AC_CHECK_DLFCN.
        (AC_LTDL_DLSYM_USCORE):  Use _LT_AC_TRY_DLOPEN_SELF.

2000-11-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlhandle): Rename the wrapped structure
        to prevent nameclash when used from C++.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Fixed all references.

2000-11-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen):  Change the default search order
        for modules.  If the named module has no directory component,
        always start the search with the user_search_path directories,
        and then fall back on the current directory only if that fails.

2000-11-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdl_la_LDFLAGS): increment the version
        number to reflect the breakage of binary compatibility.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface):  Document
        LT_NON_POSIX_NAMESPACE.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (LT_POSIX_NAMESPACE):  Deleted.  The default is
        now to use this namespace, so the cpp macro is no longer
        necessary.

2000-11-20  Morten Eriksen  <mortene@sim.no>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LIB_LTDL, AC_LTDL_SYMBOL_USCORE): Break a circular
        dependency between AC_LTDL_SYMBOL_USCORE and AC_LTDL_DLSYM_USCORE.

2000-11-20  Paul Berrevoets  <paul@swi.com>

        * ltmain.in: Some versions of expr respond with "0" if a
        regexp fails to match.

2000-11-19  Paul Berrevoets  <paul@swi.com>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Quote the $ in $#, $2 and
        $3 in variable 'archive_expsym_cmds' for cygwin.

2000-11-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltdl.c: Relegate non-POSIX-compliant symbols (e.g. those
        ending in ``_t'') to deprecated #define compatibility macros.
        Also ease up on the namespace pollution, so that only ``lt_''
        and ``LT_'' prefixes are taken from the global namespace.
        * ltdl.h: ditto.

2000-11-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltdl.c: Reformatted.
        * ltdl.h: ditto.

2000-11-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SYMBOL_USCORE): Use $ac_ext for conftest
        sourcefile.
        * libtool.m4: Use $ac_ext and $ac_objext respectively for conftest
        sources and objects.
        Reported by Carlo Wood <carlo@alinoe.com>

        * doc/fdl.texi: New file.  The license for distributing the
        libtool manual.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Reference the new license.

2000-10-31  Morten Eriksen  <mortene@sim.no>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Quote argument to avoid
        error output from cygpath when $srcdir is empty.

2000-10-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * bootstrap:  rm Makefiles to prevent infinite loop during
        configure when libtool.m4 is newer than Makefile.

2000-10-31  Akim Demaille  <akim@epita.fr>

        * libtool.m4: Adjust the copyright notice.
        Quote all the macro names when defined.
        Some minor formatting changes.
        (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC)
        (AM_DISABLE_SHARED, AM_DISABLE_STATIC, AM_PROG_LD, AM_PROG_NM):
        Don't use indir when useless.  Don't add trailing `dnl' either.

2000-10-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi:  Corrected another attack of CRLF line
        endings.

2000-10-30  Ossama Othman  <ossama@debian.org>

        * libtool.m4 (archive_expsym_cmds): Fix typo where line was broken
        in the middle of an expression.

2000-10-30  Aneesh Kumar K.V <kvaneesh@hotmail.com>

        * libtool.m4 (archive_expsym_cmds):  Support for -export-symbol
        option on Tru64.
        (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Fixed cxx throwing error while using
        libtool.  Done by passing -rpath directlty to the compiler.

2000-10-27  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

        * docs/libtool.texi: Added pointers to documentation
        of Hewlett-Packard, Compaq Tru64 and IBM AIX systems.

2000-10-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Bruce Korb <bkorb@cruzio.com>
        * ltmain.in (execute_dlfiles): Reduce obfuscation.

2000-09-30  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

        * libtool.m4 [netbsd*] (deplibs_check_method, file_magic_cmd,
        file_magic_test_file): Removed inappropriate duplicate
        definitions; these variables are set in AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD.

        * libtool.m4 (lt_cv_file_magic_cmd): Don't use '${MAGIC_CMD}' or
        '${OBJDUMP}'; Solaris' /bin/sh loses with `}' in cache files.
        (ac_cv_path_MAGIC_CMD): Renamed to lt_cv_path_MAGIC_CMD.

2000-09-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (MAGIC_CMD): Don't use MAGIC, since BSD versions of
        the file command use this environment variable to hold the
        location of the magic database.
        Reported by Marc Espie <Marc.Espie@liafa.jussieu.fr>

2000-09-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * doc/PLATFORMS: Updated.
        * demo/configure.in:  Revert to the `libtool --features' test.
        * Makefile.am (libtool):  This needs to rerun configure now that
        libtool is generated entirely by AC_PROG_LIBTOOL again.
        (ltconfig): Removed.
        (ltmain.sh):  Is now regenerated when ltmain.in changes.
        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Now does all of the work for
        generating libtool immediately in configure.in, rather than
        deferring part of the creation until config.status runs.

2000-09-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * bootstrap:  Backed out yesterdays patch which is no longer
        necessary.
        * Makefile.am (libtool): Reworked rule for regeneration of libtool,
        now that it is built entirely withing config.status.
        (libtoolize): Tidied for orthogonality with the other generation
        rules.
        (ltconfig):  This is now generated by AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, called from
        make by running config.status --recheck.
        (ltmain.sh): Moved primary generation of this file into here...
        * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): ...instead of here.
        * libtool.m4 (AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS):  Write the config to ltconfig
        where it can be reused, rather than directly to libtool.
        * demo/configure.in:  libtool is no longer present immediately
        after AC_LIBTOOL_M4 has completed, so the tests now grep through
        ltconfig instead -- which *will* be present.

2000-09-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * TODO: Removed the item describing the change below, and added a
        similar item to remind us to change the ltdl.m4 macros again when
        _LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK is divided into proper macros.
        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SNARF_CONFIG):  Removed.  No longet required
        now that ltconfig has migrated to libtool.m4.
        (AC_LTDL_SHLIBEXT): Require _LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK.
        (AC_LTDL_SHLIBPATH): ditto.
        (AC_LTDL_SYSSEARCHPATH): ditto.

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_DLPREOPEN): Require the libtool.m4 symbol_pipe
        macro.
        (AC_LTDL_SYMBOL_USCORE): ditto.
        (AC_LTDL_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE): Removed, since it is a duplicate
        of...
        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE): ...this new
        macro, extracted from _LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK.

        * ltdl.m4 (changequote): An audit of changequote and m4
        quote usage -- all changequotes have been removed, and some
        latent unquoted `[' and `]' bugs have been fixed.

        * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): ltmain.sh must be generated in the
        source tree since this is where it would be found in a freshly
        unrolled tarball.

        * configure.in: Replace `dnl' comments with `#' comments for
        more conformity with cvs autoconf.
        Removed emacs hack-local-variables, since there is now a
        proper Autoconf major mode.
        Removed a couple of changequote()s.

        * bootstrap (ltconfig): When bootstrapping libtool with a
        stock automake (i.e. without the README patch applied),
        references to ltconfig are manually removed from the generated
        Makefile.in files.

2000-09-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi: Removes references to ltconfig, and a small
        amount of tidying up to compensate.

2000-09-15  Nick Hudson  <skrll@netbsd.org>

        * libtool.m4 (netbsd): Improved support.

2000-09-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in (version_type): Use "-iface" as the windows
        versioning scheme, where iface is the number of the oldest
        interface supported.

2000-09-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Paul Sokolovsky <Paul.Sokolovsky@technologist.com>
        * libtool.m4 (pw32): Initial support for pw32, assuming that
        libtool's behaviour in this environment is identical to under
        cygwin.
        * ltmain.in (pw32): ditto.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * libtool.m4 (changequote): An audit of changequote and m4
        quote usage -- all changequotes (except a few with non-nesting
        square brackets) have been removed.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST):  The bootstrap script should be
        distributed with libtool.

2000-09-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Oh man!  Third time lucky.
        I just discovered that '&' needs to be escaped inside
        AC_TRY_EVAL.

2000-09-12  Michael Matz  <matz@ifh.de>

        * ltmain.in:  Be careful about filenames with multiple `.'s in
        them when calculating file extensions.
        Reported by Joel Reed <jreed@support.ddiworld.com>

2000-09-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL):  Removed, as it was triggering a
        bug in Autoconf-2.13 AC_REQUIRE implementation which inserted
        some of the expanded tests too early in the generaated configure.
        (_AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): renamed to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, and defines
        itself to an empty expansion to prevent multiple expansions.
        configure.in (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Replaced by a call to
        AC_PROG_LIBTOOL now that the AC_REQUIRE bug has been worked
        around.

2000-09-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Forgot to escape the
        redirections inside AC_TRY_EVAL in the need_lc tests. Doh!

        libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Forgot to redirect the
        output of grep to /dev/null in the need_lc tests.

        configure.in (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL):  Using this in libtools own
        configure.in interacts badly with the AC_PROVIDE calls and
        results in several tests being inserted into configure too
        early.  Use AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP instead.

2000-09-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): The ltconfig.in code I
        ported from ltconfig.in was incomplete -- this is a backport
        of the missing code taken from the multi-language branch.

2000-09-07  Pavel Roskin  <proskin@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK):  Fixed incorrect use of
        changequote

2000-09-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * NEWS:  Updated.
        * TODO:  Add a reminder to get rid of ltconfig in mlb.
        * README: Until things even out, I have added a note and a
        patch to make the installed automake cooperate with the new
        ltconfig free libtool.

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): with_gcc is only useful in
        ltmain.sh as it has not yet been set in libtool.m4.  Use
        $ac_cv_prog_gcc instead.

        * doc/PLATFORMS: Updated.

        * configure.in (AC_PROG_AWK): Removed -- no longer required by
        the build process.
        * lineno: ditto.

        * libtoolize.in (files): Don't try to install ltconfig -- it
        doesn't exist!!
        * bootstrap: Fake an ltconfig incase the installed automake
        calls an installed libtoolize (as part of its --add-missing
        process) which thinks ltconfig should be there.

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Deleted a vital `;;'
        terminator from a case statement by mistake.

        * Makefile.am (ltmain.sh):  Make this depend on TSDEPS again
        so that the Changelog timestamp is used for ltmain.sh at `make
        dist' time.

2000-09-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        libtool.m4 now contains a version of the code that used to run
        from ltconfig, so that ltmain.sh and then libtool are
        generated at configure time.

        * Makefile.am:  Don't generate ltmain.sh or ltconfig anymore.
        * bootstrap: ltconfig is no more!
        * configure.in: Call AC_PROG_LIBTOOL directly.
        (AC_OUTPUT): Generate tmain.sh.
        * libtool.m4: Don't build an argument list for ltconfig.
        (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK):  Refactoring of the former contents of

        * ltconfig.in: Removed all references to what used to be

        * ltmain.in: Likewise.
        * tests/build-relink.test, tests/build-relink2.test: Adjust.
        * mdemo/Makefile.am (lib_LTLIBRARIES): Move libsub.la before
        libfoo2.la, so that they're installed in the right order.

2000-09-04  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

        * tests/dryrun.test: Build libsub.la along with the object files,
        since it is needed by libfoo2.la.

        * mdemo/Makefile.am: Mark only libfoo2 as -no-undefined.
        Explicitly link it with libsub.la.

        * ltconfig.in (need_lc): Preserve allow_undefined_flag.

        * tests/*.test (CONFIG_SITE): Ultrix's /bin/sh fails on
        `. /dev/null'.  Set CONFIG_SITE to /dev/null/config/site, to make
        sure we pick a non-existent file.

        * Makefile.am (libtool, clibtool): Pass CONFIG_SHELL along with
        ECHO down to ltconfig.

        dlname is empty.

        * ltdl.m4 (HAVE_LIBDL): Look for dlopen in -lsvld.
        * ltconfig.in: Likewise.

        * ltconfig.in (enable_dlopen): Set to no when lt_cv_dlopen is no.

        * libtool.m4: Don't quote CONFIG_SHELL nor ORIGINAL_CONFIG_SHELL.
        Quote $@ properly so that the shell expands it, not m4.

        * libtool.m4: Don't quote SHELL when `re-exec'ing, so that SHELL
        can be `/path/to/shell -x'.

        * tests/quote.test: Move the match test out of case statements, to
        work around bug in /bin/sh of several OSs.

        * ltmain.in (variables_saved_for_relink): Attempt to unset them
        instead of setting them to an empty string.

2000-09-02  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

        * ltconfig.in [with_gnu_ld] (archive_cmds, archive_expsym_cmds)
        <solaris*, sysv5*, beos*>: Use compiler_flags instead of linker
        flags.

2000-09-02  Tom Kacvinsky  <tjk@ams.org>, Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>

        * libtool.m4: Ignore Tru64's nm's complaint.

2000-09-02  Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

        * ltconfig.in: only load $cache_file if it's a regular file

2000-09-02  Assar Westerlund  <assar@sics.se>

        * ltconfig.in: Add back ranlib calls for static libraries if there
        is a ranlib.

2000-08-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Move the echo detection code to a macro in libtool.m4.  The code
        at the top ofltconfig.in is ugly, but will go away when the rest
        of ltconfig is migrated.

        * Makefile.am (libtool):  Pass the value of $ECHO to ltconfig as
        an environment variable.
        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_PROG_ECHO_BACKSLASH): Quote the ECHO value
        correctly so that it inserts the correct code into configure.in
        suitably quoted for M4 expansion.  This code needs to be near
        the top of configure.in as it calls itself recursively, so I
        am using AC_DIVERSION_NOTICE (or simply NOTICE on CVS
        Autoconf).  The value of ECHO is also substitued into the
        Makefile to be used when Make calls ltconfig to generate
        libtool, so another layer of quotation is required for the
        Makefile.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP):  Use it.
        * ltconfig.in: Accept a value for ECHO from the environment, and
        carefully substitue for $0 if it is present in the ECHO value.
        Because ECHO was quoted for Make, when ltconfig is called by
        configure, it is overquoted, and one layer of quotes must be
        stripped.

2000-08-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltconfig.in (with_gcc):  Make the value of this option
        available to the generated libtool script.
        * ltmain.in (compile_command, finalize_command):  The native C
        and C++ compilers on IRIX require the -LANG:std in order to to
        compile correctly.   The same options should _not_ be passed
        through to gcc on IRIX, or at all on other architectures for
        backwards compatibility (among others).
