2001-06-04  John David Anglin  <dave@hiauly1.hia.nrc.ca>

        * ltcf-c.sh (archive_cmd) [hpux, with_gcc]: Use gcc to link shared

        * ltcf-cxx.sh (osf3/osf4/osf5): Support creation of C++  shared
        libraries when using g++ with native linker.

2001-05-28  Albert Chin  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * ltconfig.in (version_type, soname_spec) [aix4* | aix5*]: Use
        linux-style versioning, and remove trailing .o from soname_spec.

2001-05-22  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

        * ltcf-cxx.sh (allow_undefined_flag, no_undefined_flag)
        [aix4*|aix5*]: Prepend blank.

2001-05-20  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Reverted to 1.4, to avoid confusion with MLB.
        Mainline is the release snapshot, except for the ChangeLog version
        number, until the multi-language branch is merged into it.

        * ltconfig.in: Fix sh.test regression introduced in previous patch.

        * ltconfig.in (lt_cv_sys_max_cmd_len): Improve test to work better
        in case of non-built-in echo.  Set bounds correctly.

        * ltcf-cxx.sh (allow_undefined_flag) [aix4* | aix5*]: Fix quote
        error.

        * ltmain.in (exec_cmd): New variable.  Don't exec programs within
        the big `case'; set the variable instead, and exec the cmd
        afterwards, so that the shell gets a chance to clean up here-doc
        files.
        * NEWS: Update.

2001-05-16  Alan Modra  <amodra@one.net.au>

        * libtool.m4 (lt_cv_deplibs_check_method): pass_all for hppa*-linux.

2001-05-03  Andreas Jaeger  <aj@suse.de>, Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        * ltmain.in (relink_command): Arrange for wrapper script to save
        output to a variable and display it only if relinking fails.

2001-04-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * configure.in: bumped version to 1.4a.

        GNU libtool 1.4 was released.

        * configure.in: Bumped version to 1.4.
        * config.sub, config.guess:  Synchronised from ftp.gnu.org.
        * NEWS: updated.

2001-04-24  Peter Eisentraut  <peter_e@gmx.net>

        * libtool.m4: Support $host_os as /sysv5uw7*/ from newer
        config.guess in addition to older /unixware*/.  Use compiler
        driver, not linker, for linking shared libraries.
                        
2001-04-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * libtool.m4, ltmain.in, libltdl/configure.in,

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

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

        * libtool.m4: Handle case where /bin/nm -p outputs multiple
        symbol types (like under HP-UX 11.00).

2001-04-24  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@ffii.org>

        * TODO: describe problems with libltdl
        * ltmain.in (ILD): tidy up, add comments, remove dead code,
          merge duplicate code
        * ltmain.in (ILD): don't touch newdependency_libs after scan or
          dlopen pass

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

2001-04-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

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

        From Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Make sure the *.test
        scripts get the same make that was used in the top level
        directory.

2001-04-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * doc/PLATFORMS:  Updated with more platforms successfully
        tested by members of libtool@gnu.org.

2001-04-23  Peter Eisentraut  <peter_e@gmx.net>

        * doc/PLATFORMS:  With this patch, freebsd4.3 passes the test
        suite.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit): Quit loop if only resident modules
        are left.

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

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

        From Simon Spero <ses@ibiblio.org>
        * libtool.m4 (lt_cv_deplibs_check_method) [darwin]: Set it!

        * TODO: Make a note to undo this later.
        From Christoph Pfisterer <cp@chrisp.de>
        * libtool.m4: Use $() execution substitution quotation to work
        around zsh builtin echo \ escape removal.

2001-04-22  Peter Eisentraut  <peter_e@gmx.net>

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

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

2001-04-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): UW7 has sys/dl.h, so we must
        check for that here.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (HAVE_SYS_DL_H):  Include it if necessary for
        the dlopen loader.

2001-04-19  Dan McNichol <mcnichol@austin.ibm.com>

        * libtool.m4: Build standard shared libraries on AIX POWER
        more like AIX does, with a shared object archived into lib<xxx>.a.
        On AIX -bexpall flag does strange things... Don't use it.
        Fix quotes around -berok flag.  Add support for AIX 5.
        Add support for run time linking on AIX POWER. (should work
        on AIX 4.2 and up).  Turn this feature on by adding -brtl flag
        to LD_FLAGS.  Add support for AIX on IA64. Note: AIX on IA64
        uses a SYSV type linker.  Add a comment telling what to do if the
        TOC starts getting too large on AIX.
        * NEWS: mention aix5 support.

        * libtool.m4 (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec, osf4/osf5): Use ${wl}
        to pass -rpath when compiling with gcc.
        Reported by Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>

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

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

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

        * ltmain.in: Improve check for valid -version-info parameter.

        is included in the distribution.

2001-04-07  Peter Eisentraut  <peter_e@gmx.net>

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

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

        * ltmain.in: Implement a new deplibs_check_method called
        match_pattern that does pattern matching on filenames...
        * libtool.m4: ...use it with NetBSD

2001-04-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Multiple dependencies): A note about the

        reversion below.
        * ltmain.in: Revert my change from 2001-03-31.  Although it
        was technically correct, it opens a whole can of worms we don't

        From Ahmed Masud <masud@googgun.com>
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (sys_shl_open):  Return a NULL module handle
        for self opening.
        (sys_shl_close):  Be careful not to close a NULL module handle.

        discard the modified module address it returns.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen):  When reading the .la file,
        reallocate the line buffer size if the line overflows the
        original buffer.
        Reported by Nick Hudson <skrll@netbsd.org>

        * NEWS (1.3d) Removed bogus ltconfig reference.

        fixes.
        * ltmain.in: Fixed special cases for libc and libm on Rhapsody and
        Darwin. One of them was misplaced. Added version_type case for
        Rhapsody and Darwin, named "darwin".

2001-03-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

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

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

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

        AC_PROG_LIBTOOL.

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

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

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

        time around!
        
        From Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>

        prefix for dlls -- lib for mingw; cyg for cygwin; pw for pw32.

        * ltdl.h (lt_dlcaller_register, lt_dlcaller_set_data,
        lt_dlcaller_get_data): Prototyped.

2001-01-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * libltdl/ltdl.h:  formatting change.

2000-12-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        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]*$//

        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

        `['.
        (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.

        * libtool.m4 (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD): Use the HPUX 10.20
        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',

2000-12-15  Utz-Uwe Haus  <haus@mail.math.uni-magdeburg.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): Changed "dl_dependency_libs" keyword
        to "dependency_libs".

2000-12-14  Tod Milam  <tmilam@traclabs.com>

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

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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

        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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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.

2000-11-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        to prevent nameclash when used from C++.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Fixed all references.

2000-11-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

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

2000-11-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

        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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

        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  <gvv@techie.com>

        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  <gvv@techie.com>

        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  <gvv@techie.com>

        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  <gvv@techie.com>

        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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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  <gvv@techie.com>

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

        * mdemo/Makefile.am (lib_LTLIBRARIES): Move libsub.la before

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

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

2000-08-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        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  <gvv@techie.com>

        * 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).

          FreeBSD (2.2.6 and 3.1)
        * doc/libtool.texi: it's possible to link libtool libraries
          using -L and -l, better documentation of uninstall and clean mode,
          rename dummy to force, documented -no-fast-install,
          AC_LIBLTDL_* must be called before AC_PROG_LIBTOOL,
          documented hardcode_into_libs and striplib/old_striplib,
        * ltconfig.in: search for strip program, added hardcode_into_libs
          and striplib/old_striplib variables, set strip commands for GNU strip,
          on FreeBSD >= 3.2 set hardcode_into_libs to yes,
          fast-install mode doesn't work if hardcode_into_libs = yes
        * ltmain.in: reimplemented hardcoding into libraries:
          new relink mode, preserve all libtool args, relink libraries
          when installing if necessary
          added -no-fast-install flag, removed unnecessary `dlname'
          initialization, use striplib/old_striplib for stripping libraries,
          dlname is always soname or in library_names so we don't need
          to handle different file names

        * ltconfig.in (freebsd*, shlibpath_overrides_runpath): Set to yes
        up to release 3.1, and to no from 3.2 on.
        Reported by Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

1999-06-29  Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>, Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in (freebsd*, shlibpath_overrides_runpath): Set to
        yes; tested on 3.1-ELF by Pavel and on 2.2.6 by Alexandre.

1999-06-25  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in (linux-gnu*, deplibs_check_method): Use pass_all on
        alpha, x86 and sparc architectures by now, reverting to file_magic
        at least on ARM, where it breaks.

1999-06-23  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@ffii.org>

        * NEWS: updated
        * README: added GNU Hurd to the supported platforms
        * doc/libtool.texi: document `-dlpreopen dummy'
          instead of `-dlopen dummy'
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (strchr): fixed typo (missing star)

1999-06-23  Stephan Kulow <coolo@itm.mu-luebeck.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (strrchr): fixed typo (missing star)
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (trim): use `const' to silence -Wwrite-strings

1999-06-23  Olly Betts  <olly@muscat.co.uk>

        * ltmain.in (ltdll.c): Support for crosscompiling from linux to
        mingw32.

1999-06-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * ltconfig.in (cygwin, export_symbols_cmds): If there is already
        an extracted and compiled ltdll.c, then don't delete, reextract
        and recompile.
        (cygwin, archive_expsym_cmds): Make sure the ltdll source has been
        extracted and compiled before referencing the object, since there
        are paths through the code which run archive_expsym_cmds without
        running export_symbols_cmds.

1999-06-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * ltconfig.in:  moved the test for NM after the test for
        no_builtin_flag.

1999-06-20  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in: Use sed '$q' instead of sed "" for copying ltmain,
        just in case some sed does not support an empty command.

        * ltconfig.in (link_static_flag, ac_cv_prog_cc_static): Use the
        latter in the test.

1999-06-18  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@ffii.org>

        * ltconfig.in (bsdi4, deplibs_check_method): use a less restrictive
          regex (reported by Chris P. Ross <cross@eng.us.uu.net>)
        * ltmain.in: support `-dlopen dummy', define lt_preloaded_symbols
          if dlself != no
        * doc/libtool.texi (Compile and Link mode): document it,
          documented the -Wc, -Wl flags, libtool does also support non C
          source code

1999-06-18  Teun Burgers  <burgers@ecn.nl>

        * ltconfig.in: CR/LF fix for broken DJGPP bash
        * ltmain.in: CR/LF fix for DJGPP

1999-06-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * ltmain.in (outputname): When generating the executable wrapper
        script, $outputname already has the $exeext suffix, so we needn't
        add it again.

1999-06-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * libltdl/configure.in (ac_cv_lib_dl_dlopen): missing "x" in test
        comparison corrected.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (sys_wll_open): libltdl expects this function to
        fail if it is unable to physically load the library.  Sadly,
        LoadLibrary will search the loaded libraries for a match and
        return one of them if the path search load fails.  Simulate a
        failure in this case for compatibility with the other APIs.
        Also, LoadLibrary takes the liberty of adding `.dll' to library
        names passed without an extension, we now add a trailing `.' to
        prevent this from happening.

1999-06-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (sys_wll_close): Strangely enough, Microsoft have
        decided that LoadLibrary returns `0' for success, yet FreeLibrary
        returns `0' for failure!  The FreeLibrary call used to interpret
        `0' as success for both functions.

1999-06-14 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@ffii.org>

        * ltconfig.in: use eval when setting have_dlfcn_h, reformatting

1999-06-12 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@ffii.org>

        * ltmain.in: store old archives in deplibs and old_deplibs,
          retain the order of dependency libraries (even old archives),
          determining the absolute directory name didn't work due to a typo,
          add the library search paths of all dependency libraries when
          linking a library (fixes IRIX 5.2 bug)

1999-06-10  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in: Reverted June 6's patch for new GNU ld output, it
        is no longer needed, as ld reverted to the original format.
        * NEWS: Likewise.

        * ltconfig.in: When testing self-dlopening, test whether dlclose
        crashes.  On FreeBSD 3.1, it does.  :-(
        * libltdl/configure.in: Likewise.
        * NEWS: Note work-around.
        Reported by Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

1999-06-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * ltconfig.in (exeext): autoconf's AC_EXEEXT uses "no" to indicate
        no extension, and we must do the same in order to share the cache
        value. Also we must ignore conftest.err which HPsUX (at least)
        fills with gratuitous warnings.
        (objext): for consistency, do the same as above.
        Reported by Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

1999-06-09  Pavel Roskin  <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

        * ltconfig.in (exeext): Use quotes in the test, to prevent a
        failure in sh.test.

1999-06-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * ltconfig.in: Reordered tests to be more like configure.in's
        recommended order (programs first, then libraries, etc.).
        Performed a manual ``constant folding pass'' (eg: s/eval "test
        \"echo '$''{'lt_cv_dlopen'+set}'`\" != set/test
        "${lt_cv_dlopen+set}" != set/).
        s/test "${foo+set}" = "set"/test "X${foo+set}" = Xset/g

        * ltconfig.in (link_static_flag): Accept, in order of decreasing
        preference: the cached value; the default value for the current
        host.  Also test that the compiler accepts the flag, and cache
        that result too.

        * ltconfig.in (pic_flag): Accept, in order of decreasing
        preference:  the cached value; the default value for the current
        host.  Also test that the compiler accepts the flag, and cache
        that result too.

1999-06-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * ltconfig.in (LN_S): Accept, in order of decreasing preference:
        the cached value; an environment setting; ``ln -s'' if it works;
        ``ln'' if ``ln -s'' doesn't appear to work.

        * ltconfig.in (objext): Accept, in order of decreasing preference:
        the cached value; the result of a test object compilation.

        * ltconfig.in (RANLIB): Accept, in order of decreasing preference:
        the cached value; an environment setting; the first file called
        ``ranlib'' in the user's path.

        * ltmain.in (exeext): Use $exeext when working out the names of
        programs (but not the wrapper script itself due to a stupidity in
        win32 which hardwires the .exe extension to the binary loader!).
        * ltconfig.in (exeext): Now that the wrapper script tries to move
        executables, we need to know whether they have an extension (ala
        AC_EXEEXT).  Since we can't rely on AC_EXEEXT having been called
        in configure.in, we must be able to check for ourselves, though we
        can look for a cached result incase AC_EXEEXT was called.

        * ltconfig.in (cygwin, pic_flag):  Force separate compilation of
        objects for dlls vs. objects for static archives.  Using a cpp
        macro also allows us to decide whether or not we need to use
        dllexport/import declarations.

        * ltconfig.in (cygwin, need_version): Set to no, otherwise module
        dll's end up with mighty long names!

1999-06-06  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in: Support new GNU ld --help output format.
        * NEWS:  Likewise.
        Reported by Gaël Quéri <gael@baoule.dyndns.org> and
        H.J. Lu <hjl@varesearch.com>.

1999-06-05  Mark Kettenis  <kettenis@gnu.org>

        * ltconfig.in: Update support for the Hurd.  Make sure that the
        soname includes the major version number and create the right
        links.  Allow shared objects without the `lib' prefix and without
        version information.

1999-06-02 Nick Rasmussen <nick@jive.org>

        * ltmain.in (link): use "$nonopt" as the compiler for
          compile/finalize_command

1999-05-27  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * TODO: Remove the short list of people interested in C++
        constructors; it's not meaningful, since there are so many more
        people requesting this feature, and we just can't maintain it
        accurate.

1999-05-27  Pavel Roskin  <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

        * ltconfig.in (GNU Hurd, deplibs_check_method): Use pass_all.

        objects.
        * NEWS: Ditto.

1999-05-27  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * NEWS: Mention the two bugfixes below.

        * ltmain.in: Only create directory into which to extract
        convenience libraries when $convenience is not empty.  It would
        always be created on systems that did not support
        whole_archive_flag_spec.

        * ltconfig.in (export_symbols_cmds): Add $convenience.
        (cygwin, export_symbols_cmds): Ditto.
        * ltmain.in: Generate export symbol list before expanding
        convenience libraries, to avoid passing whole_archive_flag_spec to
        $NM.
        Reported by Godmar Back <gback@cs.utah.edu>

1999-05-27  David Jones  <jones@mosaid.com>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (LTDL_BIND_FLAGS): Remove BIND_VERBOSE, to avoid
        printing error messages.

1999-05-26  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * TODO: Note about this problem.  Demo is fixed on win32.  Support
        `empty' convenience libraries.

        * ltconfig.in (solaris*, ld_shlibs): Do not enable shared
        libraries with GNU ld 2.8.*, it's broken.  Emit a warning
        suggesting an upgrade.
        Reported by Brian Ford <ford@vss.fsi.com> and Ronald Pijnacker
        <Ronald.Pijnacker@best.ms.philips.com>

1999-05-25  Frank Ch. Eigler <fche@cygnus.com>

        * ltmain.in: file_magic check would not avoid cyclic links.

1999-05-25  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * depdemo/main.c, depdemo/l1/l1.c, depdemo/l2/l2.c: K&R-ize.
        * depdemo/l3/l3.c, depdemo/l4/l4.c: Likewise.

        circular links.
        Reported by Ron O'Hara <rono@sentuny.com.au>

1999-05-24 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@ffii.org>

        * NEWS: support for installing stripped libraries using GNU strip
        * ltconfig.in: set deplibs_check_method=pass_all on FreeBSD,
          Linux and Solaris since no one can reproduce the famous deplibs
          bug
        * ltmain.in: preserve $CC (reported by Tom Tromey),
          strip libraries using GNU strip if it's available and the
          -s flag was passed to "install"

1999-05-23  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Distributing libltdl): Document that -static
        may cause the same problems on libltdl as -all-static.
        * TODO: We might want to fix this in the future.

        * doc/libtool.texi: Clear up overfull hbox.

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (ltdl.lo): Add dependencies.

        support for multiple dlopening mechanisms.
        * libltdl/acconfig.h: New file.  Add #undefs for defines that
        would be duplicated.

1999-04-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * libtool.m4 (cygwin*|mingw*, DLLTOOL, OBJDUMP, AS): Only expand the
        code that makes these configure time checks on hosts that need the
        tools *and* if the AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL macro is used.

1999-04-29  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltmain.in (nlist, SYMFILE): Use outputname instead of output for
        names within output_objdir.

1999-04-28  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_ENABLE_SHARED, AC_ENABLE_STATIC,
        AC_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL): Do not call AC_BEFORE here, they're
        AC_REQUIREd by AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP.
        (AC_DISABLE_SHARED, AC_DISABLE_STATIC, AC_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL):
        Call AC_BEFORE here, and now with two arguments, since these do
        change the default.
        (AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE, AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE): Fix calls to
        AC_BEFORE.

1999-04-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * libtool.m4 (ltconfig_enable_win32_dll): pass --enable-win32-dll to
        ltconfig if this is set.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL): New macro required for libtool to attempt
        a dll build on win32 hosts.
        * ltconfig.in (--enable-win32-dll): new flag for the cli.
        (cygwin*|mingw*|os2*, ltconfig_enable_win32_dll): if this is not set
        to yes, then do not attempt to build shared libraries.
        * doc/libtool.texi: document AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL.
        * NEWS: noted new macro.

1999-04-27  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN, AC_ENABLE_SHARED,
        AC_ENABLE_STATIC, AC_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL, AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE,
        AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE): Warn if they appear after
        AC_PROG_LIBTOOL.  AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, actually.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Check whether DLOPEN support is to be enabled
        at autoconf time, not configure time.  Simplify code and
        improve (?) help message about --disable-libtool-lock.

1999-04-27 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * NEWS: new clean mode
        * THANKS: added Ossama Othman
        * doc/libtool.texi: documented the new `clean' mode
        * ltconfig.in: set need_version=no on OSF (reported by
          Marcus Sundberg <mackan@stacken.kth.se>)
        * ltmain.in: allow absolute non-existant -L paths,
          always use output_objdir instead of objdir for temporary files,
          delete generated temporary symbol lists,
          don't add .la twice in the pseudo-library header,
          implemented and documented clean mode (deletes libraries,
          programs and object files and the files associated with them),
          if build_libtool_libs=no and no static library is available,
          try to link the program against the shared library,
          don't add a statically linked library to the dependency_libs
        * ltmain.in (help uninstall): added a missing backslash
          after echo (reported by Ossama Othman)

1999-04-27  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltmain.in (old_archive_cmds): Iterate on oldobjs to find out
        which links to object files we must create.  Do not test for empty
        pic_flag to create such links.  Use objext when searching for
        object files extracted from convenience library.

        * ltconfig.in (compiler_c_o): Make sure the compiler does not
        create temporaries in the current directory when output should go
        elsewhere.  We must perform locking if it does.

1999-04-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * ltmain.in (old_archive_cmds): Ensure that there are always .o
        objects available before running old_archive_cmds.

1999-04-26  Erez Zadok  <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>

        * doc/PLATFORMS: Updates for netbsd 1.3.3 and 1.4.

1999-04-26  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in (aix4.[01], always_export_symbols): The case pattern
        would never match; fixed.
        Reported by Stephan Kulow <coolo@itm.mu-luebeck.de>

1999-04-25  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * libtool.m4 (OBJDUMP): Pass it to ltconfig.
        * configure.in: AC_SUBST DLLTOOL, OBJDUMP and AS.
        * Makefile.am (libtool, clibtool): Pass them to ltconfig.

1999-04-25  Frank Ch. Eigler  <fche@cygnus.com>

        * libtool.m4 (cygwin*): Look for target objdump tool.
        * ltconfig.in (cygwin*, file_magic_cmd): Use autoconf-located target
        objdump tool.  Track OBJDUMP like DLLTOOL and AS.

        * ltconfig.in (cygwin*, deplibs_check_method): Accept
        "architecture: i386" as optional suffix, for it is printed on a
        separate line sometimes.

        * ltmain.in (cygwin*, ltdll.c): Wrap DllMain declaration in extern "C".

        * ltmain.in (deplibs_check_method=file_magic): Redirect stderr to
        /dev/null, to suppress error messages from target objdump.

1999-04-25  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in (irix*, soname_spec, library_names_spec): Missing
        dots before $versuffix and $major.

        * ltconfig.in (solaris*, whole_archive_flag_spec): Use -z
        allextract/defaultextract from Solaris 2.6 on.
        Reported by Brian Ford <ford@vss.fsi.com>

        * ltconfig.in (beos*, allow_undefined_flag): Do not build shared
        libraries with undefined symbols.

        * ltconfig.in (aix4*, allow_undefined_flag): Set to -berok.
        (aix4*, shared_flag): Set to -shared or ${wl}-bM:SRE.
        (aix4*, archive_cmds): Use -bexpall.
        (aix4*, archive_cmds, archive_expsym_cmds): Use shared_flag and
        allow_undefined_flag.
        (aix4*, always_export_symbols): Set to yes up to AIX 4.1.*,
        because -bexpall is supported from 4.2 on.
        Reported by Greg Wooledge
        <ic5035%tss1crs.amgreetings.com@rose.amgreetings.com>

        * ltconfig.in (hpux*, hardcode_minus_L): Set to yes.
        (hpux*, hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Do not use +s by default.
        (hpux*, shlibpath_overrides_runpath): Set to no.

        * ltconfig.in (irix*, osf*, archive_cmds): Write so_locations
        within objdir.

        * ltconfig.in (irix*, soname_spec): Append $major.
        (irix*, library_names_spec): Add new soname.
        Reported by David Kaelbling <drk@sgi.com>

        * ltconfig.in (irix*, sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec): /usr/local/lib
        is not searched by default.  /usr/lib is searched before /lib.
        * ltconfig.in (irix*, sys_lib_search_path_spec): /usr/lib is
        searched before /lib.

        * ltconfig.in (irix5*, need_lib_prefix, need_version): Set to no,
        by unifying with irix6*.

        * ltconfig.in (irix*, osf*, deplibs_check_method): Use pass_all.

        * ltconfig.in (old_LDFLAGS, old_LIBS): Save and write to comments
        in output file.

        * ltmain.in (prefer_static_libs): New variable, set to no by
        default, but set to yes by -static and -all-static.  Used instead
        of build_libtool_libs to decide whether to use a shared or static
        version of a library, when both versions are available.

1999-04-25  Boyd Lynn Gerber  <gerberb@zenez.com>

        * ltconfig.in (sco3.2v5*): Use LD_RUN_PATH for hard-coding.

1999-04-25  Pavel Roskin  <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

        * Makefile.am (uninstall-local): Remove installed libltdl tree.

1999-04-25  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * demo/Makefile.am (hc-direct, hc-libflag, hc-libpath, hc-minusl):
        Added CFLAGS to link commands; SCO OSR needs it for -belf.

        * TODO: -Wl and -Wc options.

1999-04-12  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Remove trivial warnings.

1999-04-22  Frank Ch. Eigler  <fche@cygnus.com>

        * ltconfig.in: Correct sed expression that extracts symbols
        from cygwin def files.  Ignore demangled C++ names, if any.

1999-04-12  John David Anglin  <dave.anglin@nrc.ca>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (shl_close): shl_t was correct here...
        (shl_sym): ... but we have to pass the handle by reference here.

1999-04-12  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Invoking ltconfig): Document environment
        variables used.

        * doc/libtool.texi (Invoking ltconfig): Document --cache-file.

        * doc/libtool.texi (Invoking ltconfig): Document
        --disable-fast-install, --enable-dlopen, --with-gnu-ld and
        --disable-lock.

1999-04-11 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/configure.in: check for shl_load in libdld
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (shl_close, shl_sym): use (shl_t *) instead of shl_t
        * ltconfig.in (check for gcc): removed a bogus line,
          check for shl_load in libdld
        * ltmain.in: added a warning to the header of the .la file
          to warn users against deleting the file,
          link shared against static libraries if
          deplibs_check_method == pass_all

1999-04-10  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LD, AC_PROG_NM): When looking for programs,
        try $ac_exeext too, so that they're found on DJGPP/MS-DOS.
        * ltconfig.in: Likewise.
        Reported by Robert S. Maier <rsm@math.arizona.edu>

        * ltconfig.in (Usage): Removed --enable-dlopen-self.
        Reported by Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

        * ltconfig.in: Moved sysv4 before sysv4.*.
        (symcode): Brian's overrider is specific to sysv4, not sysv4*.

1999-04-09 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * NEWS, README: Motorola System V 4 support
        * doc/PLATFORMS: added mk88-motorola-sysv4
        * ltconfig.in: installed patch from Brian Ford <ford@vss.fsi.com>
          to support mk88-motorola-sysv4

        * doc/libtool.texi: some cleanups in the libltdl documentation

1999-04-07  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in (--fallback-echo): Do not put an inline document and
        an exec in the same if construct; otherwise the inline document
        may not be removed.
        * ltmain.in (--fallback-echo): Likewise.
        Reported by John David Anglin <dave.anglin@nrc.ca>

        * dryrun.test: It would still fail at random times, because `cp'
        and `mv' are not guaranteed to preserve the timestamps of the
        installed files.  Instead of preserving them, just remove them
        before the dry uninstall test.  Redirect dry-run output to stderr,
        so that it can be easily separated from the regular output.

1999-04-07 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * NEWS: support for moved libraries
        * libtool.m4: another DJGPP fix

1999-04-07  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * doc/PLATFORMS: Updated to 1.3 for all platforms I've got.  I'll
        make sure 1.3 won't be released unless it passes all tests on
        those platforms.

        * doc/libtool.texi (Compile mode): Document potential problem and
        work-around for `-c -o dir/foo.lo'.

        * tests/dryrun.test: The constant modifications of libtool would
        cause main.o to be updated at the wrong time; the new approach is
        to modify the libtool script so that it enables dry run depending
        on whether an environment variable is set or not.  I've also moved
        `after' and `before' to a directory deep within $objdir, instead
        of creating it in ../tests.
        * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Removed.

1999-04-06  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * tests/dryrun.test: We cannot rely on setting LIBTOOL, because
        automake may use sub-makes, and the setting will not be propagated
        to them on some makes.  Instead, create a dry version of libtool
        and switch between it and the original one before and after dry
        runs.
        * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Added libtool-*, created by
        dryrun.test.

        * tests/dryrun.test: Use cmp instead of diff.
        (before, after): Create them within ../tests.
        (libtool): Set to `/bin/sh ./libtool' by default, but use LIBTOOL,
        SHELL and top_builddir from the environment if available.  For dry
        runs, use "$libtool -n".
        * tests/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Added before and after.
        * ltmain.in: Do not create links to object files in dry runs.

1999-04-06 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * ltmain.in: added a missing line of the ILD patch

        * NEWS: improved DJGPP support
        * doc/libtool.texi: removed hardcode_into_libs documentation
        * libtool.m4: some DJGPP fixes
        * ltconfig.in: ditto, reverted one of my previous patches: we need
          to check for NM, removed the hardcode_into_libs support since
          no platform seems to support it
        * ltmain.in: some DJGPP fixes, removed the hardcode_into_libs support

1999-04-05  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in (netbsd*, GNU ld): Support a.out shared libraries

        * Makefile.am (CVS): allow command-line overriding of cvs

        * ltconfig.in (exclude_expsyms): Exclude _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ by
        default, as most a.out platforms use it, and end up in trouble if
        we preload it, so it's safer to rule it out by default, and
        special case its removal from exclude_expsyms if someone ever
        complains.

1999-04-05 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi: reorder tests to reflect execution order,
          documented dryrun.test and depdemo*
        * ltmain.in (lt_preloaded_symbols): dry-run mode bugfix
        * tests/dryrun.test: new test to check whether the dry-run
          mode works properly

        * demo/run.test: removed the unnecessary test
        * demo/Makefile.am: ditto
        * ltmain.in: set the DLL search path on cygwin,mingw and os2

1999-04-04  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in (sunos4*, GNU ld): -Bstatic is not enough for
        deplibs.test to work with GNU ld; -Bshareable is needed here.

        * ltconfig.in (ld_shlibs, amigaos*): Disable shared libs with
        native ld too.

        * ltconfig.in (sunos4*, GNU ld): Reordered.

        * ltconfig.in (archive_cmds, sunos4*): Revert to -Bstatic; the
        native linker doesn't even support -Bshareable, only GNU ld does.
        Do not use `gcc -shared' in archive_cmds, it breaks deplibs.test.

        * ltconfig.in: if ld_shlibs=no, set can_build_shared=no too,
        otherwise it will just be disregarded.  This would cause
        netbsd/m68k with GNU ld a.out, and certainly many other platforms,
        to incorrectly believe that shared libraries were supported, while
        archive_cmds was empty, causing shared libraries not to be created

1999-04-03  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * NEWS: improved support for AIX and HP/UX

1999-04-03 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * NEWS: updated
        * libtool.m4: check for main in libm instead of cos
        * ltmain.in: cosmetic fixes, don't try to link libraries only once
          (although it's not necessary on many platforms and looks ugly...),

1999-04-02  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltmain.in (convenience): fixed race condition when more than one
        library was linked with the same convenience library by
        uniquifying the extract directory.  It is now named after the new
        library *and* the old one, and lives in the objdir of the new one.

        * ltmain.in (-L*): do not abort just because a directory specified
        with -L does not exist; just warn and discard it

        * depdemo/l1/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): no-dependencies
        * depdemo/l2/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): ditto
        * depdemo/l3/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): ditto
        * depdemo/l4/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): ditto

        * ltconfig.in (archive_cmds, sunos4*): where we used -Bstatic, we
        should have been using -Bshareable

        * demo/Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): clean EXTRA_* from deplibs-check

        * libtool.m4 (LDFLAGS, LIBS): pass them to ltconfig, for the tests
        that involve linking
        * Makefile.am (LDFLAGS, LIBS, libtool, clibtool): ditto
        * tests/Makefile.am (CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, LIBS): set
        (LDFLAGS, LIBS, TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): pass them down

1999-04-02  Erez Zadok  <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>

        * doc/PLATFORMS: 1.2f ok on various versions of hpux cc

1999-04-02  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in (link_all_deplibs): set to unknown by default
        * ltmain.in: test != no, not = yes
        * doc/libtool.texi: document unknown

1999-04-01 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi: documented deplibs.test

        * demo/Makefile.am: moved testsuite specific declarations to the end,
          the deplibs check is now optional
        * libltdl/configure.in: read libtool --config only once,
          merged AC_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE+AC_SYS_NM_PARSE from libtool.m4
        * libtool.m4: AC_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE+AC_SYS_NM_PARSE were not
          used, lt_dlopen and silent may be empty, AC_SYS_LIBTOOL_CYGWIN
          no longer necessary
        * ltconfig.in: NM is already checked in libtool.m4,
        * ltmain.in: always link all static dependency_libs
        * tests/Makefile.am: added deplibs.test
        * tests/demo-exec.test, demo-inst.test: removed hell0
        * tests/deplibs.test: new test to test the deplibs_check_method

1999-03-31 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * ltmain.in: always link a library before its dependency libs
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: test -export-symbols-regex

1999-03-30 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi: fixed a typo
        * libtoolize.in: add the libtool scripts to libltdl.tar.gz
        * libtool.m4: don't AC_SUBST(USE_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE),
          AC_CHECK_LIBM sets LIBM, AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE doesn't work
          when libltdl is already installed
        * *demo/Makefile.am: use LIBM
        * *demo/configure.in: AC_SUBST LIBM
        * libltdl/configure.in: use ac_cv_sys_symbol_underscore instead of
          USE_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE
        * ltconfig.in: added link_all_deplibs variable
        * doc/libtool.texi: document it
        * ltmain.in: always search for libname.la - don't eval libname_spec,
          when linking libraries against static ones just print a warning
          and add them to dependency_libs, add -lc before deplibs,
          always link all dependencies of a static library or if
          link_all_deplibs is yes, hardcode library paths if
          hardcode_into_libs is no, don't link against dependency_libs
          that already are deplibs

1999-03-30  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in (aix4*, collect2name): make sure collect2 exists
        before running string on it, to avoid errors on old gccs
        Reported by Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>

        * ltconfig.in (aix4*, hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): unless we're
        using gcc with old collect2, use -b libpath to hardcode the
        library search path

        * ltmain.in, ltconfig.in: reverted most of the quoting changes
        from 1999-03-25; Gary's delay_variable_subst patch from 1999-02-19
        obviates it.  Keep only quoting of $PATH, for uniformity with
        other systems that already did it

1999-03-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dladdsearchdir): Forgot to mallocate the
        extra byte of memory for the teminating NUL, and forgot to
        strcpy the original path in to the new memory before appending
        the new path compononent.

1999-03-27 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * NEWS: updated
        * README: updated (BeOS support, no longer shared libraries
          support for AmigaOS), cleanups, we have now two mailing lists
        * REAMDE-alpha: autogen -> bootstrap, we have now two mailing lists
        * THANKS: added Xavier Pianet
        * doc/PLATFORMS: BeOS works
        * doc/libtool.texi: we have now to two mailing lists,
          updated -dlopen self documentation, documented libltdl's license,
          put each author in a separate line,
          inter-library dependencies on uninstalled libtool libraries are
          now supported, cleanups and minor corrections
        * libltdl/COPYING.LIB: new file
        * libltdl/ltdl.[ch]: added special exception to the LGPL license
        * libtool.spec: removed, it was outdated
        * Makefile.am: removed libtool.spec
        * ltmain.in: use TMPDIR when possible, create a subdirectory
          in the temporary directory, added -export-symbols-regex to the help,

1999-03-25  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * demo/Makefile.am: create a static library, link two libtool
        archives with it, then link the program hell0 with both
        * demo/hell1.c, demo/hell2.c: dummy files used to create the
        libtool archives without introducing symbol conflicts
        * tests/demo-exec.test, tests/demo-inst.test: run the new program
        * ltconfig.in (irix5*, irix6*, deplibs_check_method): pass_all

        * ltmain.in ($PATH): instead of modifying the PATH, better prevent
        its expansion the first time *_cmds variables are eval'ed.  Modify
        $show within loops that eval them so as to expand variables
        * ltconfig.in (*_cmds): quote $ so that they're not expanded by
        the first eval

1999-03-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * ltmain.in ($PATH):  Expand any tildes in the users path to the
        contents of $HOME to avoid problems with *_cmds splitting and
        evaluation.

1999-03-24 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * TODO: support -dlopen for libraries
        * doc/PLATFORMS: Erez Zadok reported that libtool works on bsdi 4.0.1
        * doc/libtool.texi (libltdl): libltdl supports BeOS
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: shlib_ext was declared even if LTDL_SHLIB_EXT
          didn't exist, partially reverted my previous patch: BeOS will
          automatically search in ADDON_PATH
        * ltmain.in: don't allow relative run-paths, fixed a typo in a warning,
          ignore -dlopen self for libraries and objects,
          only accept -L paths that exist, minor cleanups,
          bugfix: add -lc for normal libraries, not convenicence libraries
          removed offensive warnings/comments

1999-03-24  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in (ld_shlibs, amigaos*): disable shared libraries

1999-03-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * libltdl/configure.in: the sed expression for finding the shared
        library extension used to think the . in [.] for the cygwin
        shared_library_names_spec was the start of the extension!!  We now
        remove anything in square brackets (assuming that the square
        brackets delimit a sed or expr expression which is not part of the
        extension) before looking for the extension.

        * TODO (cygwin):  food for thought re: mutually dependant dlls.

1999-03-21  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * tests/build-relink.test: if we relink and have hardcode_direct,
        removing an uninstalled library breaks an uninstalled program

        * doc/libtool.texi: documented convenience libraries
        * TODO: removed entry about it

        * tests/*-unst.test: if directory is not configured, skip it
        * tests/demo.test, tests/mdemo.test: unused, removed
        * tests/depdemo.test: ditto

1999-03-20 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi (link mode): documentation for -module updated
        * ltconfig.in: fast-install mode doesn't work for
          hardcode_into_libs=yes
        * ltmain.in: bugfix: "-dlopen self [-all]-static" wouldn't use
          dlopen_self_static, automatically enable -export-dynamic when
          using "-dlopen self", always make run-paths absolute,
          ignore -lc only on platforms that don't have such a library,
          cleanups in the ILD code, find even installed libtool libraries
          that were moved, before generating the DLL-import library we need
          to set libname, improved hardcoding of shlibpath for libraries,
          don't generate an installable pseudo-library for convenience
          libraries, bugfix: export_symbols would be removed immediately
          before it is used

1999-03-19 Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * use the same header in all configure.in's and Makefile.am's
        * NEWS: improved support for BeOS and Cygwin
        * TODO: ILD branch was merged, all internal variables and macros
          are now documented
        * demo/Makefile.am: use $(LIBS) instead of -lm
        * doc/libtool.texi: documented new variable hardcode_into_libs
          and thread_safe_flag_spec, renamed all AM_ENABLE/DISABLE_* macros
          to AC_*, documented AC_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL and AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: added two new error messages (cannot_open_error,
          cannot_close_error), use them where approriate,
          BeOS support (thanks to Xavier Pianet), on BeOS search modules
          additionally in ADDON_PATH
        * libtool.m4: rewrote AC_CHECK_LIBM: BeOS and Cygwin don't have
          libm and *-ncr-sysv4.3* requires libmw
        * ltconfig.in: don't check for LoadLibrary, hardcode dlopen
          configuration for BeOS and Cygwin
        * ltmain.in: fix sourcing of .la files on Solaris
          (patch by Raja R Harinath)

1999-03-19  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in (sunos4*, with_gnu_ld, hardcode_minus_L): remove, we
        have -rpath
        (aix4*, without_gnu_ld, hardcode_shlibpath_var): unsupported is
        default
        (hpux9*, hpux10*, hpux11*, archive_cmds): drop +s, unneeded here
        (hpux9*, hpux10*, hpux11*, hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): add +s
        before +b
        (hpux9*, hpux10*, hpux11*, shlibpath_overrides_runpath): since +s
        appears before +b, set it to yes
        (hardcode_shlibpath_var, hardcode_action): do not use
        shlibpath_var to specify the compile-time search path; it loses,
        and we may end up linking with pre-installed older versions of
        libraries instead of yet-to-be-installed ones
        (*, hardcode_direct, hardcode_minus_L): remove entries that set
        them to no, that is default

        * demo/Makefile.am (hc-direct, hc-libpath, hc-minusL): link with
        $$hardcode_libdir_flag_spec, if available, with libdir=$(libdir),
        to make sure the hardcode_* variables will produce the expected
        results even in the presence of a hardcoding flag; depend on
        libhello.la having been installed already
        (hc-libflag): link with the installed library, but try to
        hard-code the uninstalled one
        * doc/libtool.texi: document the changes

        * tests/*.test: when a test fails, skip tests that depend on it.
        If a certain configuration is not supported, skip all its tests.

        * doc/libtool.texi: reorder tests to reflect execution order

        * tests/noinst-link.test: new test
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): added noinst-link.test
        * doc/libtool.texi: document it

1999-03-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * ltmain.in (dependency_libs): There is no reason to infer that
        the pseudo library is invalid if dependency_libs='' at
        install-time, or else libltdl/libltdl.la is invalid!!

1999-03-18  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * merged my inter-library dependencies code from the ILD branch:
        * NEWS: inter-library dependencies are now supported
        * configure.in: add the depdemo subdirectory
        * depdemo/*: new demo to demonstrate inter-library dependencies
        * tests/depdemo*: new tests for depdemo
        * ltconfig.in: added hardcode_into_libs (whether library paths
          should be hardcoded into the libraries),
          it currently defaults to 'no'
        * ltmain.in: new internal 'relink' mode to relink libraries
          on platforms with hardcode_into_libs=yes, save command line
          arguments in libtool_args, accept relative -L directories,
          ignore -lm on BeOS and Cygwin, always ignore -lc,
          handle -l, -L and .la arguments later, always make the library
          installation directory (-rpath) absolute, in relink mode don't
          delete the not-relinked library and exit immediately after relinking,
          try to find already-installed libtool libraries that were specified
          using -l, support hardcoding of library paths into libraries too,
          export shlibpath before linking libraries, and a lot of other
          big changes that I don't want to describe here... please read
          the source.

        * merged Gary's Win32 code from the ILD branch:
        * NEWS: Win32 DLLs are now supported
        * TODO: removed .a library namespace clash for win32.  It is
          now resolved.
        * ltconfig.in (cygwin, library_names_spec):  removed $libname.a.
          Creating a dll with libtool no longer creates an import library.
        * ltconfig.in (extract_expsyms_cmds): Create $objdir if it does
          not exist -- i.e. we need to generate import an import library
          in a directory which has no libs of its own.
        * doc/libtool.texi (old_archive_from_expsyms_cmds,
          extract_expsyms_cmds): documented these new variables.
        * ltconfig.in (extract_expsyms_cmds): New variable.  Commands to
          extract the exported symbol list from a dll.
          (old_archive_from_expsyms_cmds): New variable.  Commands to build
          an old archive from the extracted expsyms list.
        * ltmain.in: run the cmds in extract_expsyms_cmds and
          old_archive_from_expsyms_cmds as necessary.
        * ltconfig.in (cygwin, old_archive_from_new_cmds): no longer
          required.
        * ltconfig.in (cygwin, shlibpath_overrides_runpath): I'm not even
          sure whether win32 honours the runpath at all when searching for
          a dll to load!  Anyway, when set to yes this prevents a gratuitous
          warning.
        * ltmain.in (deplib): The cygwin environment doesn't actually have
          -lm, and although the linker fakes having one, specifiying it to
          libtool will break ILD, so we ignore it when generating
          dependencies.

1999-03-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

        * doc/PLATFORMS: Thanks to Alexandres changes below, both my
        hp boxes pass the entire test suite.

1999-03-17  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltconfig.in (hpux*, hardcode_minus_L): should be no, we have +b
        (hpux*, hardcode_libdir_separator): set to colon

1999-03-17  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * doc/PLATFORMS: egcs is gcc; updates from Erez Zadok

1999-03-16  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltmain.in (deplibs, beos*): don't append -lc
        Reported by Xavier Pianet <xavier@xingo.com>

        * tests/build-relink.test (hardcode_action): when set to relink,
        skip the test with lt-hell

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): add mkstamp
        Reported by Xavier Pianet <xavier@xingo.com>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): add ChangeLog.0

1999-03-16  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi: some minor corrections to the "-dlopen self"
          documentation
        * tests/Makefile.am: sorted by name, added assign.test
        * ChangeLog: started new file

        * ltconfig.in: some cosmetical changes
        * ltmain.in: ditto

Continued in ChangeLog.0
