7	* configure.in, libtool.spec: bump to 1.2f
8	* doc/PLATFORMS: ditto
9	* NEWS: libtool 1.2f released

14
15	* TODO: we now use full pathnames for `file'
16
171999-03-14  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
18
19	* TODO: libltdl is now documented
20	* doc/libltdl.texi (linking with installed libtool libraries):
21	  fixed typo
22	* doc/libltdl.texi (libltdl): added documentation for building
23	  libtool modules and examples how to embed libltdl
24	* ltmain.in: don't ignore user-specified run-paths (fixed it
25	  at the right place)
26
271999-03-14  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
28
29	* ltmain.in (deplibs_check_method=none): discard -L and -R
30	switches when testing whether deplibs contains some library
31
321999-03-14  Erez Zadok  <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>
33
34	* config.sub: recognize hppa2.0w, yet to be installed at GNU
35
36	* config.guess: minor update for FreeBSD-elf, yet to be installed
37	at GNU
38
391999-03-14  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
40
41	* ltconfig.in (bsdi4*, sys_lib_search_path_spec,
42	sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec): fix thinko in variable names; add
43	standard directories
44
45	* ltmain.in (exclude_expsyms): exclude symbols before sorting,
46	otherwise only the sorted list will have them excluded
47
48	* ltconfig.in (file_magic_cmd, file_magic_test_file, freebsd-elf*, 
49	bsdi4*): use full pathnames when possible
50
51	* Makefile.am (all-recursive): depend on ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST
52	(all-local, check-local): remove, unused
53
54	* doc/PLATFORMS: updated platforms tested on 1.2f-pre; clean up;
55	reorder; untabify
56
57	* config.guess, config.sub: updated from GNU common
58
59	* doc/libtool.texi: notes on thread-safety problems of
60	libltdl/dlopen on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD
61
62	* ltconfig.in (aix3*, aix4*): GNU ld on AIX is very broken: it
63	cannot create working shared libraries.  Print a warning
64	suggesting the user not to use it and disable shared libraries.
65
661999-03-13  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
67
68	* ltconfig.in (global_symbol_to_cdecl): was reset before trying
69	`symprfx=_', rendering the test with `_' useless
70
71	* doc/libtool.texi (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): eliminate overfull boxes
72	
73	* doc/libtool.texi: complete dlopening/libltdl documentation
74
75	* ltconfig.in (osf3*, osf4*, deplibs_check_method): pass_all does
76	not really work; use file_magic instead.
77	(osf3*, osf4*): customize sys_lib_[dl]search_path_spec 
78
79	* ltconfig.in (file_magic_test_file): new variable; if set, it
80	will be used as an argument for $file_magic_cmd to test whether
81	the regex in deplibs_check_method matches its output
82	(file_magic_cmd): use full pathnames whenever possible
83
84	* ltconfig.in (sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec): new variable, that
85	lists the system *run-time* search path.  Listed directories are
86	not implicitly hard-coded into executables.
87	* ltmain.in: use it, but *never* discard -R flags
88	* doc/libtool.texi: document it
89	* NEWS: ditto
90	Reported by Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>
91
92	* tests/sh.test: look for `$Xsed' without `$echo "X...' 
93	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: fixed a few such occurrences
94
95	* ltmain.in (-static, -all-static): revert March 11's patch, I was 
96	barking up the wrong tree
97
981999-03-12  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
99
100	* libltdl/ltdl.c: removed FILENAME_MAX since LTDL_FILENAME_MAX
101	  is sufficient and doesn't break HP/UX
102
1031999-03-11  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
104
105	* ltconfig.in: (global_symbol_pipe) extract symbol tag from the
106	output of NM too
107	(global_symbol_to_cdecl): new variable; convert the output of
108	global_symbol_pipe to valid C declarations; on HP/UX, convert
109	text symbols to function declarations
110	* libtool.m4: similar modifications
111	* doc/libtool.texi: document new variable
112	* ltmain.in: use global_symbol_to_cdecl to generate lt_dlpreopened 
113	symbols; avoid extracting symbol lists from dlpreopened files
114	twice; do not filter symbols from dlpreopened libraries
115	* TODO: fixed HP/UX dlpreopening problem
116
117	* ltmain.in (-static, -all-static): set dlopen_self to
118	$dlopen_self_static regardless of link_static_flag or pic_flag
119
120	* ltmain.in: FreeBSD bug that needs symbol table compiled with
121	-fPIC is fixed in release 3.1; use it only for 2.* and 3.0
122
1231999-03-11  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
124
125	* ltmain.in: when building a library it doesn't make 
126	  sense to remove a relinked program ("lt-" prefix)
127	  
1281999-03-11  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
129
130	* mdemo/main.c (main, test_dl, test_dlself): propagate error
131	conditions better, to avoid false positives
132
133	* */configure.in: AC_SUBST(LIBTOOL_DEPS)
134	* */Makefile.am $(OBJECTS): depend on libtool
135	(libtool): rebuild automatically
136
137	* ltconfig.in: set dlopen_* variables to unknown when appropriate
138	* ltmain.in: only emit warning about lack of AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN if
139	*all* dlopen_* variables are set to unknown
140
1411999-03-11  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
142
143	* ltmain.in: delete the old output files (incl. the relinked binary)
144	  before linking.
145
146	* ltconfig.in: replaced `configure' with $progname and all
147	  line numbers with @LINENO@
148	
1491999-03-11  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
150
151	* libltdl/ltdl.c (strdup): cannot return str when it's NULL
152	because of const correctness
153
1541999-03-10  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
155
156	* libltdl/ltdl.c (strdup): always use our own, because the
157	standard strdup won't use lt_dlmalloc
158
159	* ltconfig.in (dlfcn.h): function definition may cause warnings;
160	define variable instead
161
162	* ltmain.in: properly create an export file for a program,
163	avoiding error messages about not finding it
164
165	* TODO: need to document AC_LIBLTDL_*; static self dlopening
166	problem fixed
167
168	* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN): just set lt_dlopen=yes
169	(AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): if lt_dlopen=yes, add --enable-dlopen to
170	libtool_flags; drop --enable-dlopen-self
171	* ltconfig.in: perform all the dirty work of testing for dlopening 
172	support, because we need platform-dependent equivalents for
173	-export-dynamic, for self dlopening, and -static, for static self
174	dlopening
175	(dlopen_self_static): new configuration variable that is set to
176	yes only if static programs can dlopen themselves
177	* ltmain.in (-static, -all-static): dlopen_self=dlopen_self_static
178
179	* libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_need_uscore): do not assume
180	dlfcn.h and LTDL_LAZY exist; use LTDL_GLOBAL and LTDL_LAZY_OR_NOW.
181	This test is likely to fail if self-dlopening does not work,
182	especially because we do not link the program with
183	-export-dynamic.  Let's just hope that platforms whose symbol
184	names start with underscores will also accept underscores for
185	dlopen.  We should probably use libtool to compile and link this
186	test, so that we can use -export-dynamic.
187
188	* mdemo/Makefile.am (@LIBLTDL@): depend on ../libltdl/config.h
189
190	* configure.in: fix AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS for ltconfig and ltmain.sh
191	so that they work if srcdir is relative too
192	
193	* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE, AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE): 
194	avoid introducing multiple --enable options when re-running
195	config.status
196	* libltdl/configure.in: if enable_ltdl_* is not set, assume no
197	* configure.in: if enable_ltdl_install is not set, enable it
198
199	* libltdl/configure.in: only assume implicit installation if
200	libltdl was libtoolized.  If not, print a warning message
201	suggesting the use of --enable-ltdl-install or of one of the
202	AC_LIBLTDL_* macros.
203
204	* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): new macro, that does all the
205	configure-work that AC_PROG_LIBTOOL used to do; add
206	--cache-file=$cache_file to libtool_flags
207	(AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): call AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, save the cache, run
208	ltconfig and reload the cache
209	* configure.in: run AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, then set LIBTOOL_FLAGS to
210	libtool_flags
211	* ltconfig.in: support --cache-file switch.  If it is used, load
212	the cache in the beginning and save it just before terminating
213
214	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): run demo-nofast before demo-shared
215
216	* configure.in: create ltconfig and ltmain.sh at the end of
217	config.status, if they do not exist.  This fixes the bootstrap
218	problem reported by Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>
219
2201999-03-10  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
221
222	* NEWS: sorted by importance
223	* Makefile.am: set LIBTOOL_FLAGS when generating libtool
224	* configure.in: check for dlopen support and set LIBTOOL_FLAGS
225	  accordingly
226	  
227	* configure.in: fix spacing for --disable-ltdl-install,
228	  always configure libltdl, add libltdl/acinclude.m4 to 
229	  ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST, disable installation of libltdl if necessary
230	* libltdl/Makefile.am: set version info for libltdl.la
231	* libltdl/configure.in: don't check whether 
232	  enable_ltdl_convenience/install was set so that libltdl
233	  can be used as independent package (libltdl.tar.gz) without
234	  the need to use --enable-ltdl*
235	* libltdl/ltdl.c: minor cleanups, allocate the line cache
236	  dynamically (lt_dlopen)
237	
2381999-03-10  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
239
240	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): some preprocessors choke if the `#'
241	of `#define' is not in column 1; let's go back to fortran! :-)
242	Add #undefs too, to avoid potential warnings or errors.
243
2441999-03-09  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
245
246	* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE, AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE):
247	renamed convenience libltdl, dropped toinst hack for installable
248	* libltdl/Makefile.am: ditto
249	* libltdl/configure.in: ditto; abort if none of the macros is used
250
251	* ltmain.in: $output_objdir/$objdir/ -> $output_objdir/lt-
252
2531999-03-09  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
254
255	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): don't hardcode the length of the
256	  constant strings
257
2581999-03-09  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
259
260	* Makefile.am (install-data-hook): install libltdl as a directory, 
261	not as a tar-file, so that we do not modify the build tree at make 
262	install time
263	* libtoolize.in (ltdl, ltdl_tar): update
264
265	* configure.in, Makefile.am, NEWS: install libltdl by default
266
267	* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE, AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE):
268	new macros
269	* NEWS: ditto
270	* libltdl/configure.in: if none of the new macros or configure
271	arguments are used, warn and build convenience library only
272	* libltdl/Makefile.am: conditionally build convenience libltdl.la
273	* mdemo/configure.in: use AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE
274	* mdemo/Makefile.am: refer to @LIBLTDL@
275
2761999-03-09  Gary V. Vaughan <gvv@techie.com>
277
278	* NEWS: updated.
279
2801999-03-08  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
281
282	* ltmain.in: extract symbols from program objects to nlist first,
283	then translate them to the export_symbols format.  Now it works,
284	but it appears to be needlessly extracting the symbol list from
285	dlpreopened libraries twice
286	
287	* ltmain.in: temporarily disable dlopen_self when linking with
288	-static or -all-static, until we figure out how to test whether it
289	works at configure time
290
291	* TODO: remember to fix this later
292
293	* tests/build-relink.test: when hell is expected to fail, run it
294	within a subshell and redirect stderr to stdout, so that dynamic
295	linker errors are only printed in verbose mode
296
297	* ltmain.in (hardcode_libdir_separator, compile_rpath,
298	finalize_rpath): only substitute hardcode_libdir_flag_spec if
299	hardcode_libdirs is non-empty
300
301	* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN): do not depend on the existence
302	of dlfcn.h nor on the definition of RTLD_LAZY
303
304	* tests/build-relink.test: hellT was renamed to lt-hell
305
306	* libltdl/Makefile.am (@TOINST@/libltdl.la): do not hide the
307	command that creates the TOINST directory; remove `-o $@' from the 
308	LINK command, $(LINK) already contains it.
309
3101999-03-08  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
311
312	* doc/libtool.texi (tests): documented demo-nofast.test and
313	  renamed cdemo* to demo*
314
3151999-03-08  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
316
317	* libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/configure.in, mdemo/Makefile.am:
318	libltdl must not be renamed; if there's a problem with the install 
319	option, let's fix it, not just work around it by breaking code of 
320	users of the convenience library
321
322	* tests/build-relink.test: link broken libhello.la with at least
323	one libtool object
324
3251999-03-08  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
326
327	* TODO: updated (libltdl build problem fixed)
328	* doc/libtool.texi (libltdl interface): removed the line which
329	  promised that lt_dlopen will return NULL if it can't resolve all
330	  symbols
331	* libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/configure.in: fixed build problem:
332	  renamed the convenience library to libltdlc.la and the 
333	  installed version to libltdl.la
334	* ltmain.in (wrapper script): replaced the "T" suffix of the program
335	  file name with a "lt-" prefix
336	* mdemo/Makefile.am: use libltdlc.la
337	* tests/Makefile.am, tests/demo-nofast.test: added demo to
338	  test --enable-fast-install=no
339		
3401999-03-07  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
341
342	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): run hardcode before build-relink
343	trashes libhello.la
344	* tests/hardcode.test (need_prefix): set to yes so that _inst is
345	not removed
346
347	* ltmain.in (compile_command): append finalize search path to
348	compile search path
349
350	* tests/build-relink.test: new; check shlibpath_overrides_runpath
351	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): add build-relink.test; remove
352	hardcode.test duplicates
353	* doc/libtool.texi: document it
354
355	* ltmain.in (relink_command): do not prepend cd `pwd` to it, the
356	scripts already enters the correct directory, and expanding the
357	pathname would prevent the build tree from moving
358	
359	* ltconfig.in (enable_fast_install): force it to no only if we
360	need relink; in the other cases, set it to needless
361	* ltmain.in (fast_install): if needless, set relink_command empty
362	* doc/libtool.texi (fast_install, shlibpath_overrides_runpath):
363	document the new behavior
364
365	* ltconfig.in (enable_fast_install): test whether it can be forced 
366	off after shlibpath_overrides_runpath and enable_shared are set
367
3681999-03-07  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
369
370	* TODO: updated
371	* NEWS: updated
372
373	* TODO: scheduled some items for next release/future
374	* demo/configure.in: use AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
375	* libtool.m4: added AC_ENABLE/DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL macro
376	* ltconfig.in: added --disable-fast-install flag
377	* ltmain.in: partially reverted Alexandre's patch and implemented
378	  on-demand linking in such a way that the old developer-friendly
379	  linking style is optional,
380	  don't hardcode library paths that are in the system search path,
381	  fixed a typo in lib_search_path,
382	  implemented -export-symbols-regex for programs
383
3841999-03-06  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
385
386	* libltdl/ltdl.c (LTDL_LAZY_OR_NOW): renamed from LTDL_NOW; prefer 
387	LAZY loading because it's much faster and NOW is apparently
388	partially broken on FreeBSD
389	Reported by Archie Cobbs <archie@whistle.com>
390
391	* ltconfig.in (archive_expsym_cmds, solaris, without_gnu_ld):
392	$lib.exp already starts with $objdir/
393	Reported by Godmar Back <gback@cs.utah.edu>
394
395	* ltmain.in (freebsd): compile symbol table file with pic_flag
396	only on FreeBSD and when not static linking; it's been causing
397	trouble on platforms such as OpenBSD.
398
3991999-02-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
400
401	* libtool.m4 (cygwin): s/\\(mingw\\|cygwin\\)32/\\1/g.  Must've
402	missed this file when I changed to cygnus' new sanction name.
403
404	* ltconfig.in (sub_uncdrive): removed.  This won't work with
405	the next version of cygwin.
406	(sub_uncdir): removed. We use <drive>:/path/to/executable now.
407	* libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LD): removed sub_uncdrive and sub_uncdir.
408
4091999-02-25  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
410
411	* TODO: added items for next alpha release, ILD etc.
412	* libltdl/ltdl.c: removed unnecessary check from presym_sym, 
413	  fixed bug in lt_dlclose, allow lt_dlopenext(NULL),
414	  set deplibs for lt_dlopen(NULL)
415
4161999-02-24  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
417
418	* ltmain.in (file_magic_regex): sed `10q' is faster than `11,$d'
419
4201999-02-22  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
421
422	* ltconfig.in (dlopen, dlopen_self): default is unknown
423	* ltmain.in: fixed -dlopen self, print a warning
424	  if -dlopen is used without AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN 
425	* mdemo/Makefile.am: use -dlopen self
426
4271999-02-22  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
428
429	* ltmain.in: added missing mkdir $progdir for on-demand executable
430
431	* ltmain.in: create on-demand executable as $progdir/$$-$program,
432	and rename it to $progdir/$program only when it's finished, to
433	avoid race conditions.  We can still get the program linked
434	multiple times, if multiple instances are started simultaneously
435	and the program does not exist, but they are very unlikely to
436	interfere with each other.  There's still a possibility that one
437	process removes the $program another has just created, and doesn't 
438	replace it before the other tries to run it, in a system whose
439	`mv' is not atomic, so it will $rm then $mv, but so what? :-)
440	Locking files have been avoided to prevent dead-locks in case they 
441	are left over after a reboot or crash.
442
443	* TODO: removed ILD, soon to be merged, and added convenience
444	libraries docs
445
446	* ltconfig.in (irix5*, irix6*, shlibpath_overides_runpath): yes
447
448	* ltmain.in: remove on-demand executable in the proper place, and
449	just warn if it can't be removed; add wrapper code to test whether 
450	the install-executable is newer than the build-executable, to
451	relink it when it appears to be out-of-date
452
453	* libltdl/configure.in: check for dld.h
454	* libltdl/ltdl.c: include dld.h
455	(dld_open) it's spelled memory_error, not no_memory_error
456	Reported by Stefan Burstroem <f94sbu@efd.lth.se>

458	* ltmain.in: fix typos in my last change (s/ocmpile/compile/)
459
4601999-02-21  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
461
462	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): use newhandle instead of handle
463	  when dlopening the executable
464	* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN): removed the redundant "yes: "
465	  prefix for lt_cv_dlopen, renamed lt_cv_dlopen_LIBS 
466	  to lt_cv_dlopen_libs (more consistent)
467	* ltmain.in: implemented -dl[pre]open self, necessary for 
468	  lt_dlopen(NULL), generation of exported symbols was broken
469
4701999-02-20  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
471
472	* ltmain.in: avoid duplication of -L switches, it sometimes breaks
473	IRIX 5.2's linker
474
475	* ltconfig.in (freebsd*, finish_cmds): expand objformat here
476	Reported by Vladimir Kushnir <kushn@mail.kar.net>
477
4781999-02-20  Vladimir Kushnir <kushn@mail.kar.net>
479
480	* ltconfig.in (freebsd-elf*, need_version, need_lib_prefix): no
481	(freebsd-elf*, library_names_spec): add $libname.so instead of
482	$libname.so$versuffix; add $libname$release.so
483
4841999-02-20  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
485
486	* doc/libtool.texi: remove ticks from menu items; it breaks TeX
487	Reported by Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>
488
489	* ltmain.in: fixes for export-symbols dry-run
490
491	* ltconfig.in (shlibpath_overrides_runpath): new variable;
492	determines whether LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent can be used to
493	override a hard-coded library search path; default to unknown
494	(linux-gnu*): set it to no
495	(solaris*, sunos4*): set it to yes
496	* ltmain.in (build_libdirs_flags, build_libdirs, build_rpath): if
497	shlibpath_overrides_runpath is not yes, arrange that wrapper
498	scripts create, on demand, programs that use uninstalled libraries
499
500	* doc/libtool.texi: document it
501	
502	* libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN): check for dlopen in libc before
503	trying in dl.  Add the actual dlopening type to lt_cv_dlopen, and
504	add any needed libraries to lt_cv_dlopen_LIBS.  Add test for
505	MS-Windows' LoadLibrary.  Check whether a program can dlopen
506	itself only if we really have dlopen(), not some equivalent
507	function, but leave room for testing with other mechanisms.
508	(AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): assume some form of dlopen, but not
509	dlopen(NULL), is available if AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN is not used, for
510	backward compatibility.
511
5121999-02-20  Archie Cobbs  <archie@whistle.com>
513
514	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): use newhandle instead of handle
515	where appropriate, when dlopening a non-libtool library
516
5171999-02-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
518
519	* ltconfig.in (export_symbols_cmds): renamed from
520	export_symbols_cmd.
521	(cygwin, mingw): Be sure to compile the ltdll.c object before
522	extracting the exported symbol list.  Extract only the names
523	of the exported symbols from the def file [otherwise we might
524	run into trouble with -export-symbols-regex].
525	(archive_expsym_cmds): Regenerate the def file from the symbol
526	export list.
527	(delay_variable_subst): New sed expression to allow us to delay
528	evaluation of $foo in a double_quote_subst evaluated variable by
529	using \$.
530	* ltmain.in (export_symbols_cmds): evaluate each ~ delimitted cmd
531	separately.
532	* doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): new paragraph to
533	explain the difference between _cmd and _cmds suffixes for
534	variable names.
535	(export_symbols_cmds): renamed from export_symbols_cmd.
536	
5371999-02-18  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
538
539	* ltconfig.in (ld_shlibs): move -soname and similar flags to the
540	end of archive_cmds and archive_expsym_cmds, so as to prevent
541	gcc's collect2 from inserting an object file between -soname and
542	the library name
543
544	* ltconfig.in (openbsd*, netbsd*, library_names_spec): append
545	alternate name without ${release}, otherwise build fails when
546	-release is used
547
5481999-02-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
549
550	* ltconfig.in (archive{,_sym}_commands): Be careful not to
551	re-export the dll entry points DllMain@12, _cygwin_dll_entry@12 and
552	_cygwin_noncygwin_dll_entry@12 to avoid bugs with the wrong entry
553	function being called with inter-dll dependencies.
554	Reported by DJ Delorie <dj@delorie.com>
555	* THANKS: Added DJ Delorie, since his code inspired the impgen.c
556	program and because he has patiently answered all of the
557	irritating dll and win32 questions I have fired at him.
558	
559	* ltmain.in (version_type):  Oops.  Irix versioning implies that
560	major version numbers are 1 based (not zero based).  Fixed.
561	
562	* ltmain.in (version_type): Implement irix versioning.
563	* ltconfig.in (irix{5,6}*): Use new irix shared object versioning.
564	* TODO: remove irix versioning from TODO list.
565
566	* ltmain.in (impgen.c): Added a new embedded C file that can be
567	used under win32 to extract a def file (symbol export list) from a
568	dll that has none.  Code to use it might need to wait for the ILD
569	merge before it will be useful...
570	
5711999-02-18  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
572
573	* TODO: updated
574	* autogen: only libltdl needs autoheader 
575	* doc/libtool.texi (link mode): documented -export-symbols-regex
576	  and updated -export-symbols
577	* doc/libtool.texi (script contents): documented 
578	  always_export_symbols, export_symbols_cmd, exclude_expsyms, 
579	  include_expsyms, dlopen and dlopen_self
580	  more detailed description of need_lib_prefix
581	* ltconfig.in: a "'" was missing in the default value 
582	  of export_symbols_cmd
583	* ltmain.in: implemented -export-symbols-regex
584	
5851999-02-17  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
586
587	* ltconfig.in: (freebsd2*, sunos4*, exclude_expsyms): exclude
588	_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
589	* ltmain.in: implement exclude_expsyms with egrep
590
591	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlmalloc, lt_dlfree): SunOS' cc can't cope
592	with argument lists, we __P even in the definition
593
5941999-02-15  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
595
596	* cdemo/Makefile.am: renamed *foo1 to *foo, removed $(MATH_LIB)
597	* cdemo/foo1.c: renamed to foo.c
598	* libltdl/ltdl.c: eliminated lt_dltype, in presym_open():
599	  search for @PROGRAM@ if filename == 0, in lt_dlopen():
600	  fixed bug for filename == 0
601	* libltdl/ltdl.h: use __P macro for lt_dlmalloc/free
602	* libtool.m4: new macro AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN: checks for dlopen
603	  and dlopen(NULL) support
604	* ltconfig.in: added new variables dlopen and dlopen_self,
605	  --enable-dlopen[-self] flags for AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
606	* ltmain.in: use dlopen[_self], dlpreopen files if there's no
607	  dlopen support, build lt_preloaded_symbols only if
608	  -dl[pre]open was used, include program symbols if -export-dynamic
609	  was specified and there's no dlopen(NULL) support
610	* mdemo/configure.in: use AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
611	* mdemo/main.c: demonstrate lt_dlopen(0)
612	  	  
6131999-02-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
614
615	* demo/dlmain.c (_WIN32): The lt_symlist structure is now const,
616	so my original horrible temporary win32 hack no longer worked.
617	Here is a new horrible temporary hack to prevent helldl from SEGVing
618	on win32.  I will fix this properly when we figure out how to do
619	data exports from dlls.
620
6211999-02-14  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
622
623	* libtool.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIBM): do not set MATHLIB or AC_SUBST it,
624	this has a negative side-effect of causing automake to add MATHLIB 
625	to every single Makefile.  Let's use plain AC_CHECK_LIB, so that
626	LIBS get set, until we find a better alternative
627	* *demo/Makefile.am: remove $(MATHLIB)
628
629	* libltdl/configure.in: add a DESCRIPTION argument to AC_DEFINEs
630	where appropriate, so as to get rid of acconfig.h
631	* libltdl/acconfig.h: removed
632
6331999-02-13  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
634
635	* *demo/Makefile.am: use $(MATHLIB)
636	* *demo/configure.in: use AC_CHECK_LIBM
637	* doc/libtool.texi: renamed file_magic_command to file_magic_cmd,
638	  renamed archive_sym_cmds to archive_expsym_cmds
639	* ltconfig.in: ditto
640	* ltmain.in: ditto
641	* libltdl/ltdl.c: use lt_dlmalloc/free
642	* libltdl/ltdl.h: define lt_dlmalloc/free
643	* libtool.m4: added AC_CHECK_LIBM macro
644	* ltconfig.in: renamed archive_sym_cmds to archive_expsym_cmds,
645	  added always_export_symbols, export_symbols_cmd, exclude_expsyms,
646	  include_expsyms, removed archive_cmds for cygwin/mingw and AIX,
647	  on Solaris store the exported symbols list in objdir
648	* ltmain.in: allow -export-symbols for modules, use thread_safe flag,
649	  add include_expsyms to the exported symbols
650
6511999-02-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
652
653	* libltdl/ltdl.h (_LTDLL_EXTERN): libltdl is no longer linked as a
654	shared library, so the _declspec's were preventing the linker from
655	resolving symbols on win32.  They have been removed now.
656
6571999-02-12  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
658
659	* ltmain.in: don't try to read objdir/libname.la before it is
660	created!
661
662	* ltmain.in: create libname.lai at link time, not at install time,
663 	but still create it at install time if it is missing
664	Reported by Akim Demaille <demaille@inf.enst.fr>
665
666	* libltdl/ltdl.c (tryall_dlopen): strcmp filenames was reversed
667
6681999-02-11  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
669
670	* autogen: libltdl needs autoheader
671	* demo/Makefile.am: renamed hell.debug to hell.static
672	  (we're demonstrating static linking, not debugging)
673	* tests/demo*: ditto
674	* doc/libtool.texi (libltdl): documented new lt_dlopen(NULL)
675	  feature
676	* libltdl/acconfig.h: required for config.h
677	* libltdl/configure.in: use config.h
678	* libltdl/ltdl.c: use config.h, support lt_dlopen(NULL)
679	  (returns a handle for the program itself)
680	* ltconfig.in: minor reformatting
681	* ltmain.in: in lt_preloaded_symbols always define
682	  the program's symbols first, for -export-dynamic list all
683	  program symbols together, -export-symbols was broken for
684	  programs, minor reformatting
685	* mdemo/Makefile.am: renamed mdemo.debug to mdemo.static
686	* tests/mdemo*: ditto, mdemo.test was completely broken
687	
6881999-02-10  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
689
690	* ltconfig.in (irix5*, irix6*, osf3*, osf4*): do not use
691	-set_version in archive_cmds if verstring is empty
692	(irix6*, shlibpath_var, sys_lib_search_path-spec,
693	deplibs_check_method): set appropriate values depending on
694	selected ABI, -32, -n32 or -64, as set in LD by libtool.m4
695	(uts4*): remove dot between .so and versuffix
696
6971999-02-08  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
698
699	* ltconfig.in (irix5*, irix6*, deplibs_check_method): use
700	file_magic for inter-library dependency tracking
701	
702	* ltconfig.in (irix5*, hardcode_libdir_separator): set it to a
703	colon, because on IRIX 5 only the last -rpath switch prevails, and 
704	it can be a list of colon-separated directories.  This change will 
705	affect irix6 too, but that's not a problem.
706
707	* ltconfig.in (irix5*, library_names_spec): add soname_spec,
708	otherwise we can't dlopen
709
7101999-02-08  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
711
712	* ltconfig.in: according to Marcus Sundberg <mackan@stacken.kth.se>
713	  HP/UX, IRIX, OpenBSD, Digital Unix and SunOS support
714	  need_version=no and need_lib_prefix=no,
715	  fixed a bug in Solaris' archive_sym_cmds
716
7171999-02-04  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
718
719	* libtool.m4 (ac_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe): accept TAB in
720	addition to space as separator, and allow more than one space
721	between the symbol code and the symbol name; HP/UX's nm, for
722	example, uses two spaces
723	* ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): ditto
724	(bsdi4, deplibs_check_method): variable name was misspelled
725	* libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_preloaded_symbols): rewrite
726	test, so as not to depend on the way global_symbol_pipe is
727	initialized; the current test would get false positives, as
728	global_symbol_pipe was initialized `x=""', not `x='
729
730	* libltdl/ltdl.c (find_module): initialize filename if dir is NULL 
731	Reported by Godmar Back <gback@cs.utah.edu>
732
7331999-02-04  Godmar Back  <gback@cs.utah.edu>
734
735	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopenext): missing space for terminator when
736	allocating memory for shlib_ext
737
7381999-02-03  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
739
740	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopenext): tmp would be trashed if shlib_ext
741 	was longer than 3 characters
742
7431999-02-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
744
745	* ltconfig.in: new config.guess returns *-*-cygwin now instead of
746	*-*-cygwin32.  sed -e 's%\(cygwin\|mingw\)32%\1%g' ltconfig.in
747	* ltmain.in:   sed -e 's%\(cygwin\|mingw\)32%\1%g' ltmain.in
748
749	* ltconfig.in (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec, allow_undefined_flag,
750	archive_cmds, archive_sym_cmds, old_archive_from_new_cmds):
751	removed duplication of config by assuming that `test $with_gcc =
752	yes' implies gnu ld, otherwise MSVC++ (which I haven't tested
753	since I inheritted the code from Ian Lance Taylor btw!) is implied.
754	
7551999-01-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
756
757	* ltmain.in: Reverted this change of Alexandre's from the
758	1999-01-25; "don't try to use .o instead of .lo just because
759	there's no PIC flag.  It loses if --disable-static, and there's
760	not much point if we're referring to the same file anyway...",
761	because not all linkers will accept .lo object names.
762	* ltmain.in: In the case where --disable-static is specified (as
763	noted in Alexandre's log entry), we just link some .o files to
764	prevent the original error.
765	Reported by Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>
766
7671999-01-27  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
768
769	* libtoolize.in: search for A[MC]_PROG_LIBTOOL, not
770	AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
771	Reported by Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
772
7731999-01-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
774
775	* THANKS: Now that we have a policy, applied it to the existing
776	list.  This in no way demeans the work of those people removed
777	from the THANKS file, who are still credited in the ChangeLogs and
778	without who's work, libtool would not work so well on many
779	platforms, but serves to highlight the outstanding and continued
780	contribution the remaining people have made.  And I quote, "We
781	reserve THANKS for people who have made major contributions, and
782	leave the credit to the others for the ChangeLog only."
783	
784	* THANKS: added Sam Vilain.
785	* ltconfig.in ($echo):  When using printf to replace echo the shell
786	expands %s\n to %sn.  Changed to use "%s\n" (with quotes).
787	Reported by Sam Vilain <sam.vilain@nz.unisys.com>

7891999-01-27  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
790
791	* libltdl/ltdl.c (find_file): fix endless loop condition
792	(find_module): filename allocation was off by 1
793
794	* libltdl/Makefile.am (distclean-local): renamed from
795	distclean-hook, that didn't work
796
797	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen, non-.la): find_file now returns 0 on
798	failure
799
800	* Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): some broken makes don't like
801	macros in targets; replace $(srcdir) with @srcdir@
802	* configure.in (ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST): same problem; expand $srcdir
803
804	* libltdl/Makefile.am (@TOINST@/libltdl.la): if installation is
805	enabled, create to-be-installed libltdl.la within @TOINST@
806	directory
807	(noinst_LTLIBRARIES): even if installation is enabled, build
808	convenience libltdl.la, otherwise builds of random packages may
809	fail if the user happens to enable installation
810	(distclean-hook): wipe out $(TOINST)
811	* libltdl/configure.in: set TOINST and LIBLIBS as appropriate;
812	don't set NOINSTLIBS any more
813	* mdemo/Makefile.am: use libltdl.la
814
815	* libltdl/ltdl.c (find_file): oops, filenamesize was miscomputed
816
817	* libltdl/ltdl.c (find_file): allocate filename dynamically
818
819	* libltdl/configure.in (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): automake does not
820	recognize it and fail, better keep using AM_PROG_LIBTOOL until the
821	next release of automake
822	* demo/configure.in, cdemo/configure.in: ditto
823	* depdemo/configure.in, mdemo/configure.in: ditto
824
825	* libltdl/ltdl.c: make all global strings char[], not char*; check 
826	that all calls to malloc() are properly cast
827	(strdup, strchr, strrchr, trim, free_vars): declare as inline
828	(find_module): allocate filename dynamically; support null dir
829	(free_vars): free dir and name only if non-null
830	(lt_dlopen): keep dir as NULL if not given; fix expression that
831	calculated the size of name; only free and name if non-null
832	(lt_dlopenext): allocate tmp dynamically
833
834	* configure.in (pkgdatadir): expand ${PACKAGE} at configure-time,
835	just like automake does
836
837	* configure.in (pkgdatadir): define pkgdatadir explicitly, and
838 	comment that automake does not need it, but libtoolize does
839
840	* Makefile.am (aclocaldir): do not set it explicitly, automake
841	does already
842
843	* configure.in (TIMESTAMP): use mkstamp here too
844
8451999-01-27  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
846
847	* cdemo/configure.in: renamed AM_PROG_LIBTOOL to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
848	* demo/configure.in: likewise
849	* depdemo/configure.in: likewise
850	* libltdl/configure.in: likewise
851	* mdemo/configure.in: likewise
852	* libltdl/ltdl.c: in find_module() check whether libdir is defined,
853	  tryall_dlopen(): move deallocation of an already opened handle
854	  to lt_dlopen(), allocate the directory in lt_dlopen() dynamically,
855	  minor cleanups, fixed memory leak (name)
856	* libtool.m4: renamed all AM_ macros to AC_ and added aliases for
857	  compatibilty, updated AC_SYS_NM_PARSE (no undefined symbols,
858	  don't count the symbols)
859	* ltconfig.in: added thread_safe_flag_spec (not used yet),
860	  added generic variable for linker options "linkopts" in
861	  all archive_cmds
862	* ltmain.in: added -thread-safe flag (unused)
863	  
8641999-01-26  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
865
866	* ltconfig.in (LTCONFIG_VERSION): damn!, adding TIMESTAMP doesn't
867 	always work, because then different ChangeLog timestamps fail to
868 	pass the version test.  Instead of forcing both ltconfig and
869	ltmain.sh to be updated every time ChangeLog changes, better
870	revert it
871	
872	* ltconfig.in (LTCONFIG_VERSION): add TIMESTAMP, remove
873	explicit quotes and add it to the list of variables to quote
874
875	* ltmain.in: reworded `dropped inter-library dependencies'
876	message, and added a warning about inter-library dependencies even 
877	for non-module builds
878
8791999-01-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
880
881	* Makefile.am (install-data-hook): Don't show the if expression
882	that tests for gzip with a conditional error message; just do it
883	quietly and show the error if it fails, or the next action if it
884	succeeds.
885	
886	* configure.in:  It seems Alexandre accidentally removed the
887	AC_SUBST(pkgdatadir) line recently which breaks libtoolize.
888	Reverted that small change.
889
8901999-01-25  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
891
892	* libltdl/ltdl.c (find_module): test old_name and dlname for NULL, 
893	not len==0
894
895	* libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_objdir): yes, appending the "/" 
896	in configure.in was much simpler
897	* libltdl/ltdl.c (objdir): ditto
898
899	* libltdl/ltdl.c (objdir): string collation isn't portable; strcat 
900	"/" explicitly.  Or should this be moved to configure.in?
901
9021999-01-25  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
903
904	* libltdl/ltdl.c: allocate the variables in lt_dlopen() dynamically
905	  
9061999-01-25  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
907
908	* ltmain.in (file_magic): use egrep instead of expr to support
909	more general regular expressions
910	(file_regex): remove it; the name is misleading, it's not used
911 	anywhere, and probably will never be
912	* ltconfig.in, doc/libtool.texi: ditto
913	* ltconfig.in (linux-gnu*, deplibs_check_method): extend regex to 
914	support `LSB dynamic lib' in the output of `file'
915	Reported by Scott D. Heavner <sdh@po.cwru.edu>
916	
917	* ltmain.in (dependency_libs, xrpath): add -R switches to
918	dependency_libs only just before creating the .la file; they
919	should not be passed to the C compiler or linker at
920	library-creation time, since we don't know whether it is supported
921
922	* ltconfig.in (freebsd2.2*, hardcode_minus_L): for FreeBSD 2.2.6,
923	this must be `no'
924
925	* mkstamp: move the sed script to extract revision and date
926	information into a separate shell-script, so that we can break
927	lines between commands; FreeBSD's sed doesn't like `;' after `t'
928	Reported by Axel Thimm <Axel.Thimm@physik.fu-berlin.de>
929	* Makefile.am: use mkstamp
930	* THANKS: added Axel Thimm
931	
932	* ltmain.in: don't try to use .o instead of .lo just because
933	there's no PIC flag.  It loses if --disable-static, and there's
934	not much point if we're referring to the same file anyway...
935
936	* ltmain.in (pass_all=none, droppeddeps): set only if deplibs was
937	non-empty
938
9391999-01-24  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
940
941	* libltdl/ltdl.c: minor bugfixes, append a "/" the search 
942	  directory only if necessary
943	* ltconfig.in: added support for FreeBSD >= 3.0
944	  (patch from Kurt D. Zeilenga)
945	* THANKS: added Kurt D. Zeilenga
946
9471999-01-24  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
948
949	* doc/libtool.texi (libltdl): list supported dlopen mechanisms,
950	  added function lt_dlopenext(), removed reference to 
951	  LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS in LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS
952	* libltdl/ltdl.c: partially reverted Alexandre's dynamic string
953	  allocation change (it was not necessary and the code was unreadable),
954	  cleanups, removed usr_search_path_size, renamed usr_search_path
955	  to user_search_path, in find_module() also check for moved
956	  modules, merged find_file() and find_library(),
957	  added lt_dlopenext(), in lt_dladdsearchdir() no longer reset
958	  the search path if 'search_dir' == NULL and don't use realloc()
959	  (might not be available on all platforms),
960	  removed __P((void)) in the declaration of lt_dlgetsearchpath()
961	* libltdl/ltdl.h: added lt_dlopenext()
962	* ltconfig.in: AIX archive commands were broken,
963	  fixed a MAJOR bug in global_symbol_pipe which caused
964	  "demo-shared.test;demo-make.test" to fail (libtool must not extract
965	  undefined symbols of libraries, i.e. symcode must not contain 'U')
966	* tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): "make distclean" in cdemo, too
967
9681999-01-22  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
969
970	* Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): add ChangeLog Revision to
971	TIMESTAMP
972	* configure.in: get values of PACKAGE and VERSION set by
973	AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and extract only TIMESTAMP from the ChangeLog
974
975	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): if we're reusing a previously opened
976	handle, don't reset its name nor add it to the list, and free the
977	name we have allocated
978	Reported by Edouard G. Parmelan <Edouard.Parmelan@France.NCR.COM>
979
980	* Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh, TIMESTAMP): let's not assume
981	anything about the format of the date, just that it does not
982	contain `$'
983
9841999-01-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
985
986	* configure.in (date): echo the version number during
987	configuration, and show $date for cvs versions.
988
989	* Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig): Oops.  cvs co keyword
990	expansion ate the sed expression! Changed sed separator to '%'
991	because there are '/' in the date.  Added missing '\(' to search
992	expression.  Inserted a null string to stop cvs from expanding it
993	next time =)O|
994	($(srcdir)/ltmain.sh): ditto.
995
9961999-01-22  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
997
998	* Makefile.am (TSDEPS_DIST): dist-time dependencies for timestamps
999	(timestamps, update-timestamps): check whether TSDEPS_DIST are
1000	up-to-date and update ltconfig and ltmain.sh if needed
1001	(ltconfig, ltmain.sh): depend on TSDEPS; replace @TIMESTAMP@ with
1002	the Date tag in the ChangeLog
1003	(TSDEPS): empty unless overridden by update-timestamps
1004	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (TIMESTAMP): append timestamp to most
1005	references to VERSION
1006
10071999-01-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
1008
1009	* ltmain.in (ild): Revert the change which allowed libtool to
1010	link libraries with dependencies on .la libs.
1011	* NEWS: Removed reference to win32, incase 1.3 ships before
1012	ild is ready.
1013	* doc/PLATFORMS: Removed i686-pc-cygwin32, for the same reason.
1014	* doc/libtool.texi: Removed win32 refs, for the same reason.
1015
10161999-01-22  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1017
1018	* ltmain.in (Xsed): add 1 to Xsed definition that goes into
1019	temporary wrapper scripts
1020	* libtool.m4: we don't have Xsed here, expand it manually
1021	Reported by Pavel Roskin <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>
1022
10231999-01-22  Edouard G. Parmelan  <Edouard.Parmelan@France.NCR.COM>
1024
1025	* ltmain.in (finalize_hardcode_libdirs, finalize_rpath): in
1026	platforms that use -rpath, programs must be finalized at
1027	installation time, otherwise build-tree programs will
1028	prefer installed libraries over build-tree ones
1029
10301999-01-22  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1031
1032	* mdemo/Makefile.am (../libltdl/libtool): if it does not exist,
1033	the sub-make for libltdlc.la will take care of it, but we must at
1034	least provide an empty rule for it, otherwise the sub-make will
1035	never run
1036
1037	* demo/configure.in, demo/Makefile.am (DLPREOPEN): reverted; it
1038	didn't make any difference.
1039
10401999-01-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
1041
1042	* THANKS: Added Chris Laas <golem@MIT.EDU>
1043	
1044	From Chris Laas <golem@MIT.EDU>
1045	* ltmain.in (compile):  corrected a typo in compile mode which
1046	caused "gcc: unrecognized option -c-fPIC" errors due to a missing
1047	space.
1048
10491999-01-21  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1050
1051	* libltdl/configure.in: reintroduce code to detect native library
1052	extension
1053	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): if a .la file name is given, that's
1054	all.  Otherwise, lt_dlopen now tries to append .la first.  If this 
1055	fails, it tries the given filename, and, at last, tries to append
1056	the native library extension to the given filename.
1057	* doc/libtool.texi (lt_dlopen): explain new lookup strategy
1058
1059	* libltdl/ltdl.c: major rewrite to avoid almost all fixed-size
1060	buffers; only `tmp' in lt_dlopen remained.  But the code got ugly
1061	:-(
1062
1063	* ltconfig.in (linux-gnu*, finish_cmds): remove erroneous backslash
1064
1065	* demo/configure.in: set DLPREOPEN to -dlopen if we don't have
1066	shared libraries
1067	* demo/Makefile.am (DLPREOPEN): use instead of -dlpreopen
1068	(STATIC): use $(STATIC), not @STATIC@
1069	* mdemo/Makefile.am (STATIC): ditto
1070
1071	* tests/demo-shared.test, tests/demo-static.test: new tests
1072	* tests/mdemo-shared.test, tests/mdemo-static.test: ditto
1073	* tests/Makefile.am: ditto
1074	* doc/libtool.texi: document them
1075	* demo/Makefile.am, mdemo/Makefile.am (STATIC): do not use
1076	-static unconditionally, it can't work with --disable-static
1077	* demo/configure.in, mdemo/configure.in: check whether libtool was 
1078	configured to build static libraries and, if not, set STATIC to an 
1079	empty string
1080
10811999-01-20  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1082
1083	* ltmain.in (module, droppeddeps): if libtool could not satisfy
1084	all dependencies of a module, it will only build a static version
1085	of it, and display a warning message
1086
10871999-01-20  Erez Zadok <ezk@shekel.mcl.cs.columbia.edu>
1088
1089	* ltconfig.in (aix4*, with_gcc, archive_cmds): fix typo in Andrey
1090	Slepuhin's last patch
1091

10991999-01-20  Rainer Orth  <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>
1100
1101	* ltconfig.in: No known version of Solaris 2 hardcoded -L paths.
1102
11031999-01-20  Erez Zadok <ezk@shekel.mcl.cs.columbia.edu>
1104
1105	* ltmain.in: s/n\'t/ not/

1107
11081999-01-20  Andrey Slepuhin  <pooh@msu.ru>
1109
1110	* ltconfig.in (aix4*): check for reworked collect2, always pass
1111	-bnoentry option to linker when building a shared library
1112
11131999-01-20  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1114
1115	* ltmain.in (file_magic): follow soft-links before running `file'
1116	on the candidate library; try to avoid entering endless loop
1117	Suggested by Nix <nix@esperi.demon.co.uk>
1118	
1119	* ltconfig.in (linux*, solaris*, bsdi4*, sys_lib_search_path):
1120	remove expansion of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

1129	(bsdi4*, sys_lib_search_path): add /shlib and other dirs
1130
11311999-01-20  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1132
1133	* cdemo/main.c (main): use K&R definition syntax
1134	* mdemo/main.c (test_dl, main): ditto
1135	(test_dl): casts return value of lt_dlsym to appropriate types
1136
1137	* ltmain.in (dlsyms): #define const to nothing if not __STDC__
1138
1139	* ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): #define const to nothing if
1140	not __STDC__
1141
1142	* demo/dlmain.c (main): cast s->address to the appropriate pointer
1143 	types, otherwise StunOS4's cc refuses to compile it
1144
1145	* ltconfig.in (sunos4*, without_gnu_ld, with_gcc, archive_cmds):
1146 	add -fPIC, because libgcc is multilibbed, and we want the PIC
1147 	version of it for shared libraries, otherwise ld complains
1148
1149	* demo/dlmain.c (main): add missing const to declaration of name
1150
1151	* libltdl/ltdl.c (find_module): remove the libdir argument, and
1152	try to  open library only as old_name and dir/dlname
1153	(lt_dlopen): use `installed' variable in .la file to decide
1154	whether to use libdir or objdir
1155	
1156	* demo/configure.in (AC_C_CONST): added, for portability
1157	* mdemo/configure.in (AC_C_CONST): ditto
1158	* libltdl/configure.in (AC_C_CONST, AC_C_INLINE): ditto
1159	* libltdl/ltdl.c (LTDL_FILENAME_MAX): use FILENAME_MAX if defined
1160	(FILENAME_MAX): replace all explicit uses with LTDL_FILENAME_MAX
1161	(presym_free_symlists, trim): don't return void, for portability
1162	(lt_dlgetsearchpath): replace (void) with __P((void))
1163
1164	* ltmain.in (compile): when compiling both PIC and non-PIC, write
1165 	the PIC object to .libs/.lo and only rename it to .lo after
1166 	compiling the .o, to avoid fooling make dependencies
1167
1168	* mdemo/main.c (LTDL_PREOPENED_SYMBOLS): remove
1169
11701999-01-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>

1182
1183	* TODO: should we also build a `static' copy of a convenience
1184 	library out of .o files?
1185
1186	* ltconfig.in (bsdi4*, netbsd*, uts4*, library_names_spec,
1187	soname_spec): removed duplicate dot before $major
1188	Reported by Steven M. Schultz <sms@wlv.iipo.gtegsc.com> (bsdi4*)

1199	full pathname of non-libtool library is provided
1200	
1201	* libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_preloaded_symbols,
1202	HAVE_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): test whether we support -dl*open
1203	* libltdl/ltdl.c (!HAVE_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS, lt_preloaded_symbols):
1204	define it to an empty list if libtool won't generate it, so as to
1205	avoid link errors.  This will cause silent dlopening failures, but 
1206	maybe this is better than failing to link the program...
1207
1208	* libltdl/ltdl.h (LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): remove it; better to
1209	declare lt_preloaded_symbols
1210	* doc/libtool.texi (LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): ditto
1211
1212	* ltmain.in (dlpredeps): removed, reverting 1999-01-17's change

1268	  libtool dependency so that it can be build independently
1269	* libltdl/configure.in: removed LTDL_SHLIB_EXT hack, 
1270	  set version to 1.0, use AM_MAINTAINER_MODE, 
1271	  DLPREOPEN is always supported, check for libtool's objdir variable
1272	  (LTDL_OBJDIR)
1273	* libltdl/ltdl.c: some cleanups (moved constants to the beginning
1274	  of the file and prefixed all of them with LTDL_, minor optimizations 
1275	  in find_file() and find_module()), renamed lt_dlpreopen* to
1276	  lt_dlpreload* for consistency, removed LTDL_SHLIB_EXT hack,
1277	  we don't need unistd.h, DLPREOPEN is _always_ supported,
1278	  reverted Alexandre's lt_dlpreopen_default_ change,

13031999-01-17  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1304
1305	* ltconfig.in (wlarc): set to either '${wl}' or an empty string,
1306 	depending on whether archive_cmds runs CC or LD
1307	(gnu_ld=yes, whole_archive_flag_spec): "$wlarc" instead of '${wl}'
1308
1309	* mdemo/Makefile.am (../libltdl/libltdlc.la): depend on
1310	../libtool, because ../libltdl/libtool depends on it
1311	(mdemo_debug_*): copy from mdemo_*, adding -static to LDFLAGS
1312
1313	* ltmain.in (dlpredeps): append dependencies from dlopened modules 
1314	(but not dlpreopened ones) after all explicitly linked libraries
1315
1316	* ltconfig.in (need_lib_prefix, need_version,
1317 	deplibs_check_method): default to unknown, so that we're
1318 	remembered that this needs porting; unknown is interpreted as yes,
1319 	yes and none, respectively
1320	(freebsd2*, freebsd3*, sunos4*, need_version): set to yes
1321	(freebsd2*, freebsd3*, library_names_spec): libraries without a
1322	version number are not used by `ld'; add $versuffix;
1323	Reported by Ben Jackson <ben@ben.com>
1324	* ltmain.in (deplibs_check_method): alias unknown to none
1325	(need_version): if vinfo was not provided and release info was,
1326	zero out versuffix only if we don't need_version.
1327	* doc/libtool.texi: document what `unknown' means
1328
1329	* libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlpreopen_default): reverted to a macro
1330	without arguments, that calls lt_dlpreopen_default_ with
1331	lt_dlpreloaded_symbols
1332	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlpreopen_default_): renamed from
1333	lt_dlpreopen_default
1334	(find_module) tryall_dlopen old_name first, so that we don't
1335 	override statically linked symbols with dlopened ones
1336
13371999-01-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
1338
1339	From Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>
1340	* libtoolize.in (cd $pkgdatadir): Make sure we return the the
1341	working directory when this is done.
1342
1343	From Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>
1344	* ltconfig.in (aix): Use shared library support correctly on
1345	aix4*, and tweak the config for aix3.
1346	* NEWS: added aix3 and aix4 to list of hosts with improved
1347	support.
1348	* THANKS: added Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>.
1349
13501999-01-15  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1351
1352	* Makefile.am (@DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@): added a second '$' 
1353	  before abs_scrdir, removed ltconfig and ltmain.sh from
1354	  EXTRA_DIST (automake distributes them by default)
1355	
13561999-01-14  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1357
1358	* autogen: moved faking of the libtool scripts before
1359	  the call of automake, so that ltconfig and ltmain.sh
1360	  are included in the distribution
1361	* ltconfig.in: when checking whether PIC is supported assume
1362	  only on HP/UX that warnings during compilation mean that
1363	  PIC is not supported (Thanks to Ron O'Hara)
1364	* THANKS: added Ron O'Hara
1365	  
13661999-01-14  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1367
1368	* Makefile.am: Moved ltconfig and ltmain.sh back into srcdir, and
1369	add them to the distribution.  Added work-around if `mv -f' fails.
1370	fix @AINCLUDE_M4_LIST@ and @DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@ for relative and
1371	absolute specifications of srcdir
1372
13731999-01-14  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1374
1375	* libltdl/ltdl.c: added variable symbol prefix, added user-defined
1376	  library search path (can be set using lt_dlsearchpath()),
1377	  added default_preloaded_symbols which are independent of
1378	  lt_dlinit/exit
1379	* libltdl/ltdl.h: added lt_dlsearchpath() and
1380	  lt_dlpreopen_default()
1381	* mdemo/Makefile.am: use -export-dynamic until libtool 
1382	  and libltdl are able to handle module dependencies
1383	  
13841999-01-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
1385
1386	* THANKS: added Mark Elbrecht.
1387	* ltconfig.in (PATH_SEPARATOR): new variable to hold valid $PATH
1388	separator characters for the build host, to support DJGPP
1389	environment.
1390	* ltconfig.in: Use PATH_SEPARATOR instead of hardcoded `:'.
1391	Reported by Mark Elbrecht <snowball3@usa.net>
1392
1393	* cdemo/README: typo: mdemo->cdemo
1394
13951999-01-14  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1396
1397	* autogen: fake the libtool scripts to help fixing
1398	  the bootstrapping problem
1399	* Makefile.am: always configure libltdl, however after building
1400	  the libtool scripts, 
1401	  build the libtool scripts in builddir, not srcdir
1402	  (unfortunately this breaks building when srcdir!=objdir, 
1403	   but it was just plain wrong - needs to be fixed),
1404	  build and install libltdl.tar.gz,
1405	  copy acinclude.m4 instead of linking them, so that we 
1406	  can 'make dist' in libltdl,
1407	  fixed configuring of subdirectories
1408	* configure.in: removed --enable-ltdl-install - libltdl is supposed
1409	  to be installed by packages, not by libtool itself
1410	* libtoolize.in: new flags --ltdl and --ltdl-tar to install libltdl
1411	  in packages (--ltdl doesn't work yet),
1412	  install only the necessary libtool scripts, not just all 
1413	  files in pkgdatadir
1414	* mdemo/Makefile.am: removed the rule for libltdl configuration
1415			
14161999-01-13  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1417
1418	* mdemo/Makefile.am (../libltdl/libtool): mkdir and configure
1419	../libltdl
1420
14211999-01-13  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1422
1423	* demo/dlmain.c, libltdl/ltdl.c, ltconfig.in, ltmain.in, 
1424	  doc/libtool.texi: renamed dld_preloaded_symbols to 
1425	  lt_preloaded_symbols, symbol lists are 'const'
1426	* cdemo/configure.in: don't check for string.h
1427	* demo/dlmain.c: renamed dld_symlist to lt_symlist,
1428	  preloaded symbols are 'const', use lt_ptr_t instead of void*
1429	* demo/foo.h: define lt_ptr_t
1430	* doc/libtool.texi: document lt_preloaded_symbols correctly
1431	* libltdl/Makefile.am, mdemo/Makefile.am: renamed libtest to libltdlc
1432	* libltdl/ltdl.c: fixed some minor typos, renamed dldpre to presym,
1433	  bugfix: search in search_path only if we have no directory 
1434	  and a search_path, in lt_dlsym() check whether symbol != 0
1435	* libltdl/ltdl.h: removed lt_dlpreopen_default()
1436	* ltconfig.in (dlpreopen): removed dld_preloaded_symbol_count
1437	* ltmain.in: added help for -avoid-versioning, -export-symbols,
1438	  -module, add @SYMFILE@ if one of -export-dynamic, -dlopen or
1439	  -dlpreopen is used
1440	* mail/deplibs.html: added Gordon Matzigkeit's inter-library
1441	  dependencies article
1442	* mdemo/Makefile.am: removed -export-dynamic from LDFLAGS
1443	  (no longer necessary, since libtool defines lt_preloaded_symbols
1444	  when -dlopen is used), initialize with lt_preloaded_symbols
1445	
14461999-01-13  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1447
1448	* doc/libtool.texi (Test descriptions): cdemo-static works, thanks 
1449	to Edouard Parmelan!
1450
1451	* THANKS: added Sebastian Wilhelmi
1452
1453	* ltconfig.in (solaris): define `need_version' to no
1454
14551999-01-13  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
1456
1457	* ltconfig.in (solaris): Define `deplibs_check_method',
1458	`file_magic_command', `need_lib_prefix' and `sys_lib_search_path'
1459	* ltmain.in (file_magic_regex): Add space before matching pattern,
1460	such that it works on solaris (solaris has a tab between the
1461	library name (including the colon) and the `ELF' and such the
1462	`ELF' will never be matched).
1463
14641999-01-13  Edouard G. Parmelan  <Edouard.Parmelan@France.NCR.COM>
1465
1466	* ltconfig.in (NM): PATH search was not updated like in
1467	libtool.m4, in last Alexandre Oliva's change to it
1468	(sysv4*, ncr): pass all library dependencies
1469	* ltmain.in (dependency_libs, -R): use `deplib' instead of `arg' to
1470	iterate, otherwise we'd overwrite `arg'
1471	(convenience, old_libs): if --disable-shared, convenience
1472	libraries are just old archives, as .lo's are of no use
1473	* tests/cdemo-static.test: print --disable-shared here
1474
14751999-01-13  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1476
1477	* libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_shlibext, LTDL_SHLIB_EXT):
1478	system-dependent extension of shared libraries
1479	(libltdl_cv_shlibpath_var, LTDL_SHLIBPATH_VAR): system-dependent
1480	run-time shared library search path
1481	* libltdl/ltdl.c (dldpre_init, dldpre_exit): unrelate init/exit
1482	from add/remove symlists, so one may add dld_preloaded_symbols
1483	from main(), when only a library will call dldpre_init
1484	(lt_dlopen): use LTDL_SHLIBPATH_VAR, if defined, as secondary
1485	search path.  Also, if a requested .la file cannot be found, try
1486	with the LTDL_SHLIB_EXTension instead.
1487
1488	* ltmain.in (old_archives, oldobjs): use find to SYMDEF here too
1489
1490	* Makefile.am (@DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@): `$' must be doubled
1491
1492	* configure.in (AC_CONFIG_DIRS): configure only libltdl, and then,
1493	only if --enable-ltdl-install
1494	(CONF_SUBDIRS): list directories that are configured on demand,
1495	but that must be included in the distribution
1496	(ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST, DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST): generated from CONF_SUBDIRS
1497	* Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): added version 1.3e and
1498	readme-alpha, to handle README-alpha automatically
1499	(EXTRA_DIST): removed README-alpha
1500	(BUILD_SUBDIRS): subdirectories that are always built
1501	(SUBDIRS): BUILD_SUBDIRS plus BUILD_LTDL
1502	(DIST_SUBDIRS): BUILD_SUBDIRS plus CONF_SUBDIRS, from configure
1503	(all-local, check-local): depend on $(ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST), from
1504	configure, and libtool, so that it is built before subdirs
1505	(configure-subdirs): new target
1506	(configure-subdirs, distdir): depend on $(DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST),
1507	from configure
1508	(@DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@): create subdir if needed, then run
1509	configure.
1510	On-demand configuration of subdirs at distribution time was
1511	suggested by Gary V. Vaughan <gvv@techie.com>
1512
1513	* libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): search for NM in PATH before
1514	/usr/ccs/bin, /usr/ucb and /bin.  However, if the found one isn't
1515	BSD-compat keep searching.  If no BSD-compat is found, use the
1516	first we found.
1517
1518	* THANKS: added Raffaele Sena
1519
15201999-01-13  Raffaele Sena  <raff@aromatic.com>
1521
1522	* libltdl/ltdl.c: replaced RTDL with RTLD
1523
15241999-01-13  Manish Singh  <yosh@gimp.org>
1525
1526	* ltconfig.in (osf3*, osf4*, irix6*): include
1527	${libname}{release}.so for library_names_spec
1528
15291999-01-13  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1530
1531	* configure.in (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): added cdemo
1532	* Makefile.am (DIST_SUBDIRS): ditto
1533	(ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST): ditto
1534	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): added cdemo-shared.test
1535	* tests/cdemo-static.test: disable shared libraries here
1536	* tests/cdemo-shared.test: disable static libraries here
1537	* doc/libtool.texi (Test descriptions): added cdemo tests
1538	* THANKS: added Edouard G. Parmelan
1539
15401999-01-13  Edouard G. Parmelan  <Edouard.Parmelan@France.NCR.COM>
1541
1542	* ltmain.in: fix convenience libraries when static libraries
1543	are disables.
1544	* cdemo/README, cdemo/Makefile.am, cdemo/configure.in, cdemo/foo.h,
1545	cdemo/foo1.c, cdemo/main.c, cdemo/.cvsignore, test/cdemo-conf.test,
1546	test/cdemo-make.test, test/cdemo-exec.test, test/cdemo-static.test:
1547	new tests for convenience libraries.
1548	* autogen, Makefile.am, test/Makefile.am: ditto.
1549
1550	* ltconfig.in, doc/PLATFORMS: Added support for NCR MP-RAS
1551	(i586-ncr-sysv4.3*) with native compiler.
1552	* README, doc/libtool.texi: Added note for NCR MP-RAS compiler.
1553
15541999-01-12  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1555
1556	* ltmain.in: before using LN_S remove the symlink
1557	* libltdl/ltdl.c: support multiple symbol lists, moved library-
1558	  and file searching to separate functions, renamed "preload_libs"
1559	  to "dl_dependency_libs", set the LT_SYMBOL_OVERHEAD to the correct
1560	  value (7), fix to support lt_dlsym() for not-libtool modules again,
1561	  check for invalid handles, when using strdup() check whether
1562	  it fails
1563	* libltdl/ltdl.h: declare the lt_dlsymlist type for lt_dlpreopen()
1564	* mdemo/README: rewritten
1565	* mdemo/configure.in: check only for math.h (string.h is no longer
1566	  necessary)
1567
15681999-01-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
1569
1570	* configure.in (ltdl-install): Fixed up the indentation so that
1571	`configure --help' is pretty again.
1572
15731999-01-11  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1574
1575	* ltmain.in, NEWS, doc/libtool.texi: Added support for -R flag
1576	* ltmain.in, doc/libtool.texi: documented that -rpath is the same
1577	as -R for programs
1578	* ltmain.in: softened the instructions for linking with installed
1579	libraries, and noted that libtool can be used to link with them;
1580	documented that -rpath is not required for convenience libraries
1581
1582	* ltconfig.in (symxfrm): don't print $pipe_works twice, once for
1583	each $ac_symprfx
1584	Reported by Godmar Back <gback@cs.utah.edu>
1585
1586	* ltmain.in (convenience, libobjs): get only .o and .lo files from 
1587	the files extract from the convenience library.  Some systems,
1588	such as FreeBSD2, will add a SYMDEF file, that is not an object
1589	file, and therefore should not be fed to the linker
1590
1591	* libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_NM_PARSE): while we are at it, we may well
1592	cache the value of ac_cv_sys_symbol_underscore
1593
1594	* libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_NM_PARSE): need for underscore prefix is now
1595	auto-detected, by trying first without, then with it.  
1596	
1597	* ltconfig.in: ditto
1598
15991999-01-10  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1600
1601	* configure.in (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): add libltdl, demo, mdemo and
1602	depdemo commented out, so that `dist' works before `check'
1603	(BUILD_LTDL): will contain libltdl if --enable-ltdl-install
1604	* Makefile.am (DIST_SUBDIRS): expand SUBDIRS and add depdemo,
1605	commented out
1606	(SUBDIRS): add $(BUILT_LTDL)
1607	* libltdl/Makefile.am (EXTRA_LTLIBRARIES): add libtest.la, the
1608	same as libltdl but always a convenience library.  Not built by
1609	default.  Both libraries now depend on the libtool script, that
1610	depends on ../libtool and is rebuilt when needed
1611	* mdemo/Makefile.am (mdemo, mdemo.debug): depend on and link with
1612	../libltdl/libtest.la, that is rebuilt if needed
1613	(mdemo_LDADD): removed $(LIBADD_M), to avoid silent failures
1614	(foo1.la): renamed from libfoo1.la; test removing the lib prefix
1615	* mdemo/foo1.c: renamed libfoo1_LTX symbols to foo1_LTX
1616	* mdemo/main.c: don't include string.h nor math.h, nor refer to
1617	sin nor cos
1618	* tests/mdemo-exec.test: renamed libfoo1.la to foo1.la
1619	* tests/mdemo-inst.test: ditto
1620
1621	* libltdl/ltdl.c (FILENAME_MAX): use it instead of MAX_FILENAME,
1622	and don't redefine it if already defined; default to 1024, as on
1623	most systems
1624	(LT_SYMBOL_LENGTH): renamed from MAX_SYMBOL_LENGTH
1625	(LT_SYMBOL_OVERHEAD): new macro, that accounts for the size of
1626	the _LTX_ separator and the initial underscore
1627	(lt_dlsym): sym now points to a stack buffer (lsym) if possible,
1628	or is dynamically allocated.  If allocation fails, a
1629	buffer_overflow_error is returned.
1630
16311999-01-10  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1632
1633	* ltmain.in: define dld_preloaded_symbols if at least one of
1634	  -export-dynamic, -dlopen or -dlpreopen was specified,
1635	  do not include program objects in the symbol list
1636	  if -export-dynamic was not enabled
1637	* libltdl/ltdl.c: limit symbols to max. 256 bytes
1638	* mdemo/Makefile.am: build libltdl in a subdirectory,
1639	  do not use -export-dynamic for mdemo and mdemo.debug
1640	* tests/mdemo-conf.test,tests/mdemo-make.test,tests/mdemo-inst.test:
1641	  do not check for libltdl
1642	
16431999-01-09  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1644
1645	* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): missing strlen in bound test
1646
16471999-01-09  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1648
1649	* NEWS: support for BSD/OS 4.x was not documented
1650	* demo/Makefile.am: link against libm only if available
1651	* mdemo/Makefile.am: likewise, use -avoid-versioning flag
1652	  instead of -avoid-version (typo)
1653	* demo/configure.in: check for libm, string.h and math.h
1654	* mdemo/configure.in: likewise
1655	* depdemo/configure.in: check for libm and math.h
1656	* libltdl/configure.in: check for dlerror
1657	* libltdl/ltdl.c: check for buffer overflows, implemented
1658	  dlerror, fixed a severe bug which occured when opening 
1659	  non-libtool modules, dlopen with the flags GLOBAL and NOW
1660	* mdemo/main.c: report the error using lt_dlerror()
1661	
16621999-01-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
1663
1664	* doc/libtool.texi (old_archive_from_new_commands): Documented
1665	this ltcofig variable.
1666
16671999-01-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
1668
1669	* ltmain.sh (cygwin, allow_undefined): Unfortunately, there are
1670	problems with this variable when trying to make a dll which has
1671	undefined symbols, in which case not even a static library is
1672	built.  For now, we need to specify -no-undefined on the libtool
1673	link line when we can be certain that all symbols are satisfied,
1674	otherwise we get a static library.
1675
16761999-01-06  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1677
1678	* ChangeLog: merged in tests/ChangeLog
1679	* tests/ChangeLog: deleted
1680	* libltdl/ltdl.c: assigned copyright to the FSF
1681	* libltdl/ltdl.h, mdemo/foo*,main.c: likewise
1682	
16831999-01-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
1684	
1685	* ltmain.in (dllsearchpath): add absolute directory paths to
1686	dllsearchpath so that the wrapper scripts can be called from any
1687	directory (e.g. tests) on cygwin.
1688
1689	* ltconfig.in (cygwin, library_names_spec): revert Alexandre's
1690	change from yesterday to use `-dll.a' suffix.  That change caused
1691	$libname-dll.a to be a symlink to $soname, which isn't even an
1692	`ar' archive.  Before the import library suffix can be changed, we
1693	need to figure out how to handle building objects differently for
1694	linking with an import library versus an equivalent static library.
1695
1696	* TODO: Added details of a Linux wrapper script bug.
1697	Reported by Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>.
1698
16991999-01-05  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1700
1701	* ltmain.in (libobjs_save, oldobjs): when building an
1702	old-fashioned archive, use a copy of libobjs saved before
1703	convenience libraries are appended
1704
1705	* libltdl/ltdl.h (_LTDLL_EXPORT, _LTDLL_IMPORT): use cygwin or
1706	unix library import/export primitives; this may be convenient for
1707	people willing to create DLLs
1708	(_LTDLL_EXTERN): select _LTDLL_EXPORT or _LTDLL_IMPORT depending
1709	on _LTDL_COMPILE_
1710	* libltdl/ltdl.h, libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlpreopen): new function,
1711	that replaces the current preloaded_symbols list with its
1712	argument, and returns the old value, initially NULL
1713	(dldpre_init): don't refer to dld_preloaded_symbols any more
1714	(dldpre_open, dldpre_sym): search preloaded_symbols
1715	(lt_dlpreopen_default): call lt_dlpreopen with
1716	dld_preloaded_symbols, that is declared as extern; it should be
1717	called from the main program or from some static library without
1718	-no-undefined
1719	(lt_dlerror): new function, that returns the error message for the 
1720	last error occurred; the error message is kept in the static
1721	variable last_error
1722	* libltdl/configure.in (enable-ltdl-install): moved back from
1723	enable-install; other packages might use enable-install already,
1724	better have fine grained control over this.
1725	* libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdls.la): discarded
1726
17271999-01-05  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1728
1729	* configure.in: do not configure libltdl by default
1730	* Makefile.am: do not build libltdl by default
1731	* libltdl/Makefile.am: ltdls.lo depends on libtool
1732	* tests/Makefile.am: before starting the tests 
1733	  make sure that libtool was build
1734	* tests/mdemo-conf.test: configure libltdl
1735	* tests/mdemo-make.test: build libltdl
1736		
17371999-01-05  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1738
1739	* ltmain.in (SP2NL, NL2SP): Don't delete empty lines, as this
1740	would lose for files with embedded blanks.
1741	
1742	* ltconfig.in (cygwin, archive_cmds, archive_sym_cmds): Moved
1743	ltdll.c into ltmain.in, to avoid its duplication, and added a sed
1744	script to extract it.  Also, create def and base files in $objdir,
1745	and don't remove them after the compilation.
1746	(cygwin, library_names_spec): Create static part of the dll with
1747	suffix -dll.a, to avoid conflicts with actual static libraries.
1748	* ltmain.in: Added ltdll.c, as commented out text
1749
17501999-01-01  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1751
1752	* NEWS: new BeOS support
1753	* THANKS: added Joseph Beckenbach
1754	* libltdl/ltdl.h: use dllimport/export on Win32
1755	
17561998-12-31  Joseph Beckenbach III <jrb3@best.com>
1757
1758	* ltconfig.in: added support for BeOS
1759	* ltmain.in (shlibpath_var): added a workaround for 
1760	  an odd bug in the BeOS R4 sed
1761	
17621998-12-31  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1763
1764	* verified all copyright notices 
1765	  and updated them to 1999
1766	* TODO: added some things that need to documented
1767	* doc/libtool.texi: -export-symbols is not 
1768	  supported on all platforms
1769	* doc/PLATFORMS: added a few new platforms
1770	
17711998-12-30  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1772
1773	* NEWS: updated
1774	* THANKS: added Todd Vierling <tv@pobox.com>
1775	
17761998-12-30  Todd Vierling  <tv@pobox.com>
1777
1778	* ltconfig.in: improved shared object handling on both
1779	  a.out and ELF platforms for NetBSD
1780
17811998-12-29  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1782
1783	* ltconfig.in: do not rely on a leading space when concatenating
1784	  variables as suggested by Erez Zadok
1785	* ltmain.in: likewise
1786	* doc/PLATFORMS: updated and reformatted 
1787	  (thanks to Erez Zadok for the testing)
1788	
17891998-12-27  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1790
1791	* THANKS: added Erez Zadok <ezk@shekel.mcl.cs.columbia.edu>
1792	
17931998-12-26  Erez Zadok  <ezk@shekel.mcl.cs.columbia.edu>
1794
1795	* ltconfig.in: support i486-ncr-sysv4.3.03
1796	shared libraries.
1797
1798	* ltmain.in: before every ln -s, remove the link name
1799
18001998-12-25  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1801
1802	* depdemo/configure.in: removed last relics of demo
1803	* depdemo/sysdep.h: ditto
1804	* mdemo/Makefile.am: ditto
1805	* libltdl/Makefile.am: fixed the version number, build libltdls if
1806	  -enable-install and -enable-dlpreopen are enabled
1807	* libltdl/configure.in: libltdl is version 0.1, not 1.0,
1808	  renamed -enable-ltdl-install to -enable-install,
1809	  conditionals for libltdls, check for strchr and index,
1810	  replaced NULL with 0
1811	* libltdl/ltdl.c: replaced NULL with 0, dlpreopen only if
1812	  USE_DLPREOPEN was defined, integrated shl_load code from GModule
1813	  (still untested)
1814
18151998-12-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
1816
1817	* libltdl/configure.in: fixup spacing in --enable-ltdl-install
1818	help string so that it lines up nicely for configure --help.
1819
1820	* ltmain.in (dllsearchpath): keep track of what the dll search path
1821	will need to be in the wrapper scripts as deplibs are calculated.
1822	Make sure the wrapper script doesn't end in `.exr', which makes
1823	win32 try to execute it as a binary!
1824	Add the contents of dllsearchpath to $PATH in the wrapper script.
1825	Use the relative path to the wrapped program so that the dll
1826	search path is calculated properly by win32 OSes.
1827	* TODO: removed the item for making wrapper scripts work on win32.
1828
1829	* TODO: removed the reference to making libltdl and demo work on
1830	win32.  They *do* work now that wrapper scripts are functioning.
1831	
1832	* ltmain.in (file_magic_command): It turns out that if the
1833	file_magic_command generates huge output (e.g. running `objdump
1834	-f' over a large import lib [say libX11.a]) the expr to check it
1835	against the file_magic_regex blows up.  There is now an optimistic
1836	heuristic, to save only the first 10 lines of running
1837	file_magic_command which (at risk of sounding like Bill) should be
1838	enough for anyone =)O|.
1839
1840	* ltmain.in: Set the compile_dependencylibs and	dllsearchpath for
1841	non-libtool libs, or else libdeps only works between ltlibs for
1842	cygwin32.
1843
18441998-12-23  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1845
1846	* ltmain.in (SP2NL, NL2SP): use `tr' magic to avoid passing very
1847	long lines to sed
1848	* doc/libtool.texi (sed): very long lines are no longer a problem
1849
1850	* libltdl/Makefile.am: install libltdl conditionally...
1851	* libltdl/configure.in: ... if --enable-ltdl-install is issued
1852	* libltdl/ltdl.c: removed #ifdef DEBUG
1853	* mdemo/Makefile.am (mdemo_debug_LDADD, mdemo_debug_DEPENDENCIES): 
1854	use libltdl.la
1855
18561998-12-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
1857
1858	* doc/PLATFORMS: added my cygwin32 box (i686-pc-cygwin32).
1859
1860	* TODO: remind myself of the win32 tasks remaining.
1861	
1862	* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds, archive_sym_cmds,
1863	old_archive_from_new_cmds): Fixed a bug which left an a.exe in the
1864	build directory.  Fixed a bug where $soname-def was never deleted.
1865
1866	* ltconfig.in (file_magic_command): new variable holds the command
1867	(including any args) to run to generate the string to match
1868	against the regex in $file_magic.  Use the variable where
1869	necessary. Added to libtool header output.
1870	(deplibs_check_method): use file_magic for win32, but compare the
1871	output of `objdump -f' with the regex (see below).
1872	(archive_cmds, archive_sym_cmds): use compile_dependencylibs for
1873	each $CC invokation (see below).
1874
1875	* ltmain.in: Set allow_undefined to `no' for win32 variants by
1876	default, otherwise it is impossible to link a dll without forcing
1877	the makefile maintainer to figure out whether to pass
1878	--no-undefined at every libtool invokation.
1879	(compile_dependencylibs): save the list of dependency library
1880	flags needed for a deplib build on win32.
1881	(link_against_libtool_libs): commented out the check for this;  if
1882	it is left in, then ltlibs (i.e. *.la files) cannot be deplibs for
1883	subsequent links.
1884	Don't add -lc to the deplibs line for win32 platforms (which don't
1885	have a libc as such).
1886	(file_magic_command): use this to get some output to compare with
1887	the file_magic regex (instead of hardcoding `file' which doesn't
1888	exist on win32.
1889	* doc/libtool.texi (Porting inter-library dependencies): Updated
1890	to document the changes above.
1891	
1892	* ltconfig.in (deplibs_check_method): Changed the file_magic regex
1893	to match more linux variants.  This is less lenient than Thomas
1894	Tanner's commit to fix the same problem below.
1895	Reported by Joel Klecker <espy@debian.org>
1896	* THANKS: added Joel Klecker <espy@debian.org>
1897
18981998-12-23  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1899
1900	* ltconfig.in: fixed file-magic for Linux shared libraries
1901	* ltmain.in: removed the unused -force-static flag
1902	* libltdl/ltdl.c: added strchr, search modules in LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH,
1903	  check whether actual module was already dlopened, 
1904	  read in preload_libs rather than dependency_libs
1905
19061998-12-23  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1907
1908	* libltdl/Makefile.am: build two versions of libltdl: 
1909	  libltdl (support native dlopen if available, otherwise dlpreopen), 
1910	  libltdls (like libltdl, but always support for dlpreopen)
1911	* libltdl/ltdl.c: ditto
1912	* libltdl/configure.in: warn if dlopen is not supported
1913	* mdemo/Makefile.am (mdemo.debug): use libltdls
1914
19151998-12-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
1916
1917	* ltconfig.in: revert Thomas Tanners change to create all
1918	libraries without the `lib' prefix on win32, otherwise `gcc foo.c
1919	-lbar' can't find libbar.a.
1920
19211998-12-22  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
1922
1923	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): prepend `.' to avoid am-recursive
1924	dependency hack
1925
19261998-12-21  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1927
1928	* ltconfig.in: indentation is now 8 character wide tabs 
1929	* ltmain.in: ditto
1930	* ChangeLog: ditto
1931	* ltmain.in: renamed check_shared_deplibs_method to 
1932	  deplibs_check_method (we_dont_want_too_long_variable_names :)
1933	* doc/libtool.texi (Porting inter-library dependencies): ditto
1934	* depdemo/.cvsignore: renamed hell* to depdemo*, added *.lo,*.la
1935	* mdemo/.cvsignore: ditto
1936	
19371998-12-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
1938
1939	* libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_NM_PARSE): apparently  __ptr_t is predefined
1940	on some systems - use lt_ptr_t instead.
1941	* ltconfig.in: ditto.
1942	* ltmain.in: ditto.
1943
1944	* libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE): use an AC_SUBST to pass
1945	the result of this into the compile rather than AC_DEFINE which
1946	breaks when building with older versions of autoconf.
1947	* ltconfig.in (symxfrm): Don't put the leading underscore back
1948	with the global_symbol_pipe.
1949	* demo/dlmain.c (main): No need to specialcase underscores in
1950	dld_preloaded_symbols - it is fixed by symxfrm above!
1951	* libltdl/configure.in: use AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE from
1952	libtool.m4 rather than reinvent the wheel here =)O|
1953
1954	* ltmain.in:  Fix deplibs methods to not rely on a.out (cygwin
1955	uses a.exe!).
1956
1957	* libltdl/configure.in: Cleanups - fix header comment and emacs
1958	local-vars.
1959	
1960	* demo/dlmain.c (win32_force_data_import_address): a nasty hack
1961	to force the address of imported data symbols into
1962	dld_preloaded_symbols on win32, which does data imports
1963	differently to function imports (sheesh!).  This functionality
1964	needs to be moved into the dld_preloaded_symbols generation code.
1965	demo/helldl with static linking is broken on win32 by this change,
1966	probably until after libtool-1.3 =(O|
1967	* demo/foo.h: make sure __CYGWIN32__ is always defined on cygwin32
1968	systems.  Use the correct __declspec macro for lib exports/imports
1969	on cygwin32.
1970	* demo/foo.c, demo/hello.c: Make sure we tell foo.h that these
1971	sources are inside libfoo, and want to export symbols.
1972	
19731998-12-20  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1974
1975	* autogen: configure demo, depdemo, libltdl and mdemo
1976	* tests/mdemo-exec.test: renamed hell* to mdemo*
1977	* tests/mdemo-inst.test: ditto
1978	
19791998-12-19  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1980
1981	* libltdl/Makefile.am: build a normal libtool library
1982	* libltdl/ltdl.c: get LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH but don't make use of it yet,
1983	  some reformatting
1984	* ltmain.in: fixed a bug which listed symbols in 
1985	  dld_preloaded_symbols twice
1986	* TODO: removed symbol export lists and deplibs
1987
19881998-12-18  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
1989
1990	* ltconfig.in: added need_lib_prefix and need_version,
1991	  which determine whether we must prefix modules with 'lib'
1992	  and whether versioning is required for libraries.
1993	* ltmain.in: allow modules names without 'lib' prefix, 
1994	  new -avoid-versioning option
1995	* doc/libtool.texi (link flags): updated documentation for -module,
1996	  added -avoid-versioning
1997	* doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): 
1998	  documented the two new flags and archive_sym_cmds
1999	* doc/libtool.texi (tests): 
2000	  added (partially very short) documentation for assign.test, 
2001	  nomode.test, quote.test, sh.test
2002	* libltdl/ltdl.c: canonicalize module names, 
2003	  some cleanups and bugfixes,  __ptr_t is predefined on 
2004	  some systems - use lt_ptr_t instead
2005	* mdemo/: renamed hell* to mdemo* (hell is already used in
2006	  demo), updated the documentation, import sin and cos in main
2007	  program rather than linking libfoo1 statically
2008
20091998-12-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
2010
2011	* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Added AC_PREREQ(2.12) to prevent
2012	people using libtool with old autoconfs that don't provide the
2013	features we need.
2014
20151998-12-16  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2016
2017	* NEWS, configure.in, libtool.spec: Bumped to 1.2e for CVS
2018	
2019	* NEWS, configure.in, libtool.spec: Bumped to 1.2d for release
2020
2021	* Makefile.am (cvs-dist): our release tags are in lower case
2022	(cvs-diff): ditto
2023	(EXTRA_DIST): added README-alpha
2024	* README-alpha: minor adaptations
2025	* demo/Makefile.am, mdemo/Makefile.am, depdemo/Makefile.am:
2026	removed comment about special needs for distribution
2027	* depdemo/Makefile.am: don't generate dependencies
2028	* depdemo/configure.in: modified version number
2029
2030	* ltmain.in (-force-static, force_static): removed
2031	* libltdl/Makefile.am (CFLAGS): ditto
2032	* libltdl/configure.in: check for memory.h, rindex() and
2033	dlpreopening.  Fixed NEED_USCORE caching policy.
2034	* libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlsym): make the name argument const
2035	* libltdl/ltdl.c (types): new variable: head of list of available
2036	dlopening mechanisms
2037	(lt_dltype_t): interface of a dlopening mechanism, with pointers
2038	to functions for init, exit, open, close and sym
2039	(lt_dlhandle_t): added pointer to interface type
2040	(strdup): don't name it strdup; it can be troublesome
2041	(strrchr): ditto; use rindex if available
2042	(LIBTOOL_STATIC): check HAVE_DLPREOPEN instead, and move to the
2043	end of the file, so that it becomes the header of the list
2044	(all): renamed all interface-implementation functions, to avoid
2045	name clashes, and created lt_dltype_t nodes for all of them
2046	(lt_dlinit): initialize all available interfaces; remove those
2047	that fail from the list.  Return failure only if no interfaces
2048	could be initialized.
2049	(lt_dlexit): return number of failures
2050	(tryall_dlopen): try to open the library with all available
2051	interfaces
2052	(lt_dlopen): use tryall_dlopen; increased size of fixed buffers.
2053	We should probably make these bound-checked or dynamically
2054	allocated for the final release!  Fix bug when filename did not
2055	contain slashes; should we check for `\\' too?  Try old_library if 
2056	everything else fails.
2057	(lt_dlclose): use the interface type for closing
2058	(lt_dlsym): make `symbol' const, use interface type for looking up 
2059	* mdemo/Makefile.am: moved mdemo/modules/* back into mdemo
2060	(SUBDIRS): removed
2061	(libfoo2_la_LDFLAGS): added -static; nice test.  However, since it 
2062	causes -lm to linked into hell*, it causes tests that should fail
2063	to pass
2064	(noinst_HEADERS): no need to install foo.h
2065	* mdemo/configure.in: remove modules/Makefile
2066	tests/mdemo-exec.test: updated accordingly
2067
2068	* NEWS: Added Thomas Tanner and Gary V. Vaughan to the list of new 
2069	maintainers.  Detailed expected failures of libtldl+mdemo.  Listed 
2070	recent ports.  Added full URL for the home page.  Note that
2071	libtool C program is unusable.
2072

2095	* demo/configure.in (BINARY_HELLDL): test whether dlopen is
2096	supported at configure time
2097	* demo/Makefile.am (helldl): use automake conditionals to build
2098	helldl as a script or as a binary program
2099
2100	* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): remove ltdl-*.test
2101	(clean-local): don't clean libltdl any more

2108	* tests/mdemo-unst.test: ditto
2109	* doc/libtool.texi: ditto
2110
2111	* ltmain.in (-DSTATIC): changed to -DLIBTOOL_STATIC, and defined
2112	only for -force-static; it should be removed soon, before people
2113	start to use it
2114
2115	* configure.in (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): added libltdl
2116	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): build libltdl by default
2117	(DIST_SUBDIRS): simplify distribution of demo and mdemo
2118	(libtool, clibtool, libtoolize, ltconfig, ltmain.sh): add
2119	srcdir where appropriate
2120	(ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST): new rule for maintaining links from
2121	acinclude.m4 to libtool.m4
2122	(*demo/Makefile.in): don't update autoconf/automake files any
2123	more; make check is needed
2124
21251998-12-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
2126
2127	* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): tweaked for cygwin b18->b20.1
2128	compatibility and fixed a bug with generating the export
2129	definitions file.  This is only tested on b20.1, but should
2130	work back to b18 at least.
2131
21321998-12-11  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
2133
2134	* ltmain.in: -module implies now -export-dynamic,
2135	  dlpreopen files if we're linking statically
2136	* doc/libtool.texi (link flags): added documentation for -module
2137	  and the tests for mdemo and libltdl
2138	* mdemo/Makefile.am: replaced -dlpreopen with -dlopen
2139
21401998-12-09  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2141
2142	* PORTING: removed the text Akim Demaille converted to .texi
2143
21441998-12-09  Akim Demaille  <demaille@inf.enst.fr>
2145
2146	* doc/libtool.texi: converted inter-library dependencies
2147	instructions from PORTING
2148
21491998-12-09  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2150	
2151	* ltmain.in (convenience, deplibs): propagate dependencies
2152	* libltdl/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): don't install ltdl.h yet
2153	(noinst_LTLIBRARIES): ditto for libltdl.la
2154
21551998-12-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
2156
2157	* README-alpha: adapted the release procedure from
2158	  automake/HACKING.
2159	* Makefile.am: adapted the cvs-dist and cvs-diff rules from
2160	  automake/Makefile.am.  I guess this is probably safe to use
2161	  already, but I didn't test it as it tags the CVS tree.  If
2162	  it needs tweaking, we'll find out come 1.2d.
2163
21641998-12-08  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
2165
2166	* ltconfig.in: fixed some typos in archive_sym_cmds
2167	* ltmain.in: replaced basename with a sed expression
2168
21691998-12-07  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2170
2171	* configure.in: we no longer use PRCS
2172
2173	* doc/libtool.texi (author): listed all the AUTHORS
2174	(Dlopen issues): added reference to libltdl, still undocumented
2175	(C++ libraries): it's not *that* simple, after all :-(
2176	(Inter-library dependencies): they're back!
2177
21781998-12-04  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2179
2180	* libtool.m4 (ac_cv_sys_symbol_underscore): `test a == b' doesn't
2181	work, use `test a = b' instead
2182
2183	* Makefile.am (mdemo_distfiles): libfoo[12].sym no longer exist
2184
2185	* ltconfig.in (solaris): do not use $CC for linking if GNU ld is
2186	not available
2187
21881998-12-04  Manfred Weichel  <Manfred.Weichel@pdb.siemens.de>
2189
2190	* ltconfig.in: Port to SCO UnixWare 7.x.
2191
21921998-12-03  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
2193
2194	* ChangeLog: converted CR/LF back to CR format
2195	* ltconfig.in: new variable sys_lib_search_path for searching
2196	of installed libraries, export archive_sym_cmds and 
2197	sys_lib_search_path
2198	* ltmain.in: use sys_lib_search_path, removed extradeplibs
2199	(they're not portable)
2200	
22011998-12-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
2202
2203	* libltdl/configure.in: look for string.h or else strings.h, and
2204	also check for ANSI strrchr() function.  Fix `undescore before
2205	symbols' macro to not rely on a.out (cygwin uses a.exe!).  Fix
2206	`underscore for dlsym' to set cache variable properly, not just in
2207	environment of AC_DEFINE(NEED_USCORE).
2208	* libltdl/ltdl.h (__ptr_t): for K&R compatibility using char*.
2209	* libltdl/ltdl.c (strrchr): fallback function incase none is
2210	defined in libc.
2211	(trim, ltdlopen): replace rindex with ANSI strrchr.
2212	Add static function declarations so that we get type checking with
2213	ANSI compilers.  Use __ptr_t instead of void*.
2214
22151998-12-01  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
2216
2217	* ltconfig.in: added -export-symbols support for GNU ld and
2218	Solaris (untested), archive_sym_cmds for -export-symbols
2219	* doc/libtool.texi, ltmain.in: -export-symbols is now
2220	independent from -export-dynamic and does not work for modules 
2221	anymore
2222	* ltmain.in: added some checks for -export-symbols
2223	* mdemo/modules/Makefile.am: replaced -export-symbols with 
2224	-export-dynamic since it doesn't work for modules
2225	
22261998-12-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
2227
2228	* README: Updated homepage pointer to gnu libtool page.
2229
2230	* ltconfig.in (ltdll.c): update the ltdll.c file for cygwinb20.
2231	Based on code from Mumit Khan <khan@xraylith.wisc.edu>.
2232	(archive_cmds): correct typo libtool.c->ltdll.c.  Update shell
2233	commands for cygwin32.
2234
2235	* libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE): New macro; find out
2236	whether compiled symbols have an extra leading underscore.
2237	(AM_SYS_NM_PARSE): New macro (converted to m4 from ltconfig.in);
2238	find a sed expression to parse global symbols from the output of
2239	$NM.
2240	(AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): require AM_SYS_NM_PARSE and
2241	AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE.
2242	* demo/dlmain.c (main): Remove a single	leading underscore from
2243	compiled symbol names if necessary.
2244
22451998-12-01  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2246
2247	* config.guess, config.sub: imported from autoconf pre-2.13
2248
22491998-11-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
2250
2251	* libtool (AM_PROG_LD): Oops... we need to know the host_os for
2252	the changes below.  I'm not sure whether mingw32 and os2 support
2253	UNC paths, if they did we wouldn't need the check, we could use
2254	UNC paths on all three; or if the bug with $LD not being
2255	shell-meta escaped was fixed, we could use '\\' separators on all
2256	three. AC_REQUIRE'ed AC_CANONICAL_HOST.
2257	
2258	* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LD): Cannonicalize the absolute path for the
2259	ld program;  The order is funny to provide canonicalization to
2260	paths with '\\' separators as well as '/'.
2261	* ltconfig.in: ditto.
2262
2263	* AUTHORS: Added myself as a co-maintainer.
2264
2265	* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): The `;\' in a compound statement is
2266	expanded wrongly for cygwin32, mingw32, aix3 and aix4. Changed to
2267	`;'.
2268
22691998-11-25  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2270
2271	* libtool.spec (URL): point to www.gnu.org
2272	(Source): point to ftp.gnu.org
2273
2274	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): removed libtool.prj
2275	Reported by Akim Demaille <demaille@inf.enst.fr>
2276
22771998-11-24  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2278
2279	* ltconfig.in (echo): avoid shell error messages when we're
2280	testing for large command line support
2281	Reported by Axel Thimm <Axel.Thimm@physik.fu-berlin.de>
2282
2283	* doc/PLATFORMS: updated last-tested release for platforms I've
2284	got access to
2285
2286	* THANKS: added Chris P. Ross
2287
22881998-11-24  Chris P. Ross  <cross@eng.us.uu.net>
2289
2290	* ltconfig.in: added recognition of the dynamic linker on BSD/OS 4.x
2291	* README: added BSD/OS 4.x to the list of supported platforms
2292	* doc/PLATFORMS: added BSD/OS 4.x support for various host id's
2293
22941998-11-24  David Heine  <dlheine@truffle.Stanford.EDU>
2295
2296	* ltmain.in (pass_all): actively pass the flags
2297
22981998-11-24  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
2299
2300	* depdemo: added inter-library dependencies demo (doesn't work yet!)
2301	* AUTHORS: added myself to the list of maintainers
2302
23031998-11-22  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
2304
2305	* libltdl: added support for .la files, LGPL license,
2306	K&R compatibility, some API changes and bugfixes
2307	* ltmain.in: renamed -module flag (for compiling) to -force-static,
2308	define -DSTATIC when compiling static .o files,
2309	do not include directories in dld_preloaded_symbols
2310	* mdemo: modified mdemo to work with the new libltdl
2311	* tests/mdemo-exec.test, tests/mdemo-inst.test: use .la files
2312	
23131998-11-21  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2314
2315	* libltdl/ltdl.c: replace NULL with 0, so that we don't depend on
2316	header files defining it.
2317
2318	* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds, osf3, osf4, solaris, sunos4): create
2319	libraries with gcc -shared if using gcc without GNU ld.
2320
2321	* ltconfig.in: replaced occurrences of solaris2 with solaris, to
2322	prepare for Solaris 7
2323
23241998-11-19  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2325
2326	* mdemo/Makefile.am (hell_debug_LDFLAGS): -dlpreopen -> -dlopen
2327	(hell_LDFLAGS): added -export-dynamic and -dlopen
2328	(SUBDIRS, INCLUDES): added modules directory
2329	(foo1.c, foo2.c, foo.h, libfoo1.sym, libfoo2.sym): moved to modules
2330	* Makefile.am: ditto
2331	* tests/mdemo-exec.test, tests/mdemo-inst.test: libraries moved
2332	* mdemo/modules/Makefile.am: new file
2333
2334	* */Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): added no-dependencies
2335
2336	* ltmain.in: missing `test' between `&&' and `"$module"'
2337
2338	* ltconfig.in (echo_test_string): the whole ltconfig script was
2339	too much for DU4.0's ksh, but the first 50 lines will be enough.
2340
2341	* ltmain.in (installed): new variable defined within a .la file,
2342	so that libtool can now link already-installed libraries into a
2343	program.
2344	* NEWS: ditto
2345	* doc/libtool.texi (Linking executables): document it
2346
2347	* ltmain.in (output_objdir): compute it from $output, not $arg
2348
2349	* tests/mdemo-inst.test (libltdl): install it
2350	* tests/mdemo-unst.test (libltdl): uninstall it
2351	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): list ltdl-unst.test before mdemo-conf.test
2352
23531998-11-18  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2354
2355	* NEWS: -module and libtldl
2356	* mdemo/Makefile.am: ../libltdl is within $(srcdir)
2357
23581998-11-18  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
2359
2360	* libltdl, Makefile.am: added libltdl (a system independent 
2361	dlopen wrapper library extracted from mdemo)
2362	* ltmain.in: added -module flag for compiling and linking of
2363	modules. If enabled it compiles always both .o (with -DLT_RENAME)
2364	and .lo files
2365	* mdemo: modified mdemo to work with libltdl
2366	* tests/ltdl*: added tests for libltdl
2367
23681998-11-16  Steve Price  <sprice@hiwaay.net>
2369
2370	* ltconfig.in: when $host_os is freebsd[23]* determine whether
2371	the current linker format is a.out or ELF
2372	* ltmain.in: add two new $version_type's, freebsd-aout and
2373	freebsd-elf, to support above change
2374
23751998-11-16  Stephan Kulow  <coolo@kde.org>
2376
2377	* ltconfig.in: extent no_builtin_flag to contain -fno-rtti and
2378	-fno-exceptions in case we compile with a gcc, that supports
2379	this options (egcs and gcc >= 2.8)
2380
23811998-11-16  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2382
2383	* ltmain.in (C_compiler): copy $CC before it is overwritten with
2384	command-line compiler, so that we can use it to compile C sources
2385	generated during the build.  This fixes the problem that showed up 
2386	with -export-dynamic of C++ programs in egcs 1.1.
2387	* NEWS: ditto
2388
23891998-11-12  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2390
2391	* PORTING: Porting instructions are in the libtool manual already
2392
2393	* NEWS: Mention -export-symbols and new dlpreopen
2394
23951998-11-11  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2396
2397	* ltmain.in (IFS): revert Gary's patch when parsing version
2398	information; we still use `:' here :-)
2399
2400	* NEWS: updated
2401	* PORTING: new file, with general instructions and inter-library
2402	dependencies tips
2403
24041998-11-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
2405
2406	* ltconfig.in: make use of '~' field separator in reload_cmds,
2407	old_archive_from_new_cmds, old_archive_cmds, archive_cmds,
2408	old_postinstall_cmds, postinstall_cmds, old_postuninstall_cmds,
2409	postuninstall_cmds and finish_cmds, so that the semi-colons inside
2410	if/then/else/fi and for/do/done etc. do not break the eval loop in
2411	ltmain.in (below).
2412	* ltmain.in: changed all of the eval loops to use an IFS of `~',
2413	to allow differentiation between the end-of-statement-;
2414	(now `~' is used) and end-of-substatement-; (still `;').  This
2415	fixes AIX and win32 at least.
2416
24171998-11-11  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2418
2419	* ltconfig.in (sunos*, sympat, symxfrm): remove underscore
2420	prepended by the compiler
2421
24221998-11-10  Toshio Kuratomi  <badger@prtr-13.ucsc.edu>
2423
2424	* ltconfig.in: re-enable deplibs
2425	* ltmain.in: support deplibs, at least for GNU/Linux/x86
2426	Updated to current libtool by Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
2427
24281998-11-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@trick.fig.org>
2429
2430	* ltmain.in (link): Make the relink warning less harsh.
2431
24321998-11-07  William M. Perry  <wmperry@aventail.com>
2433
2434	* ltconfig.in (aix3, aix4): uniquify symbol names in archive_cmds
2435
24361998-11-07  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2437
2438	* ltconfig.in: add --falback-echo, to be used if everything else
2439	fails.  The tests now check the behavior of $echo for very large
2440	strings, because some echo commands would just core dump (e.g.,
2441	Solaris' printf).  If too large strings fail, smaller ones are
2442	tested.
2443	(ltecho): arrange that, if the --fallback-echo method is selected,
2444	echo will be defined in the libtool script so as to re-run itself,
2445	not ltconfig
2446	* ltmain.in: add --fallback-echo
2447	(qecho) ensure that, if --falback-echo is being used, qecho is
2448	defined with the full pathname of the libtool script
2449
2450	* tests/sh.test (test X): ensure that the double-quote supposed to be
2451	reported is really reported
2452
24531998-11-07  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
2454
2455	* mdemo/main.c: removed hardcoded library names; link against -lm
2456	* tests/mdemo-exec, tests/mdemo-inst: pass the library names
2457	to the program
2458
24591998-11-07  Marc J. Fraioli  <fraioli@dg-rtp.dg.com>
2460
2461	* README: Added DG/UX
2462	* doc/PLATFORMS: ditto
2463
24641998-11-04  Michael Tiemann  <tiemann@cygnus.com>
2465
2466	* ltconfig.in (irix6): it's a little bit different from irix5
2467
24681998-11-04  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2469
2470	* THANKS: Added Thomas Tanner and Gary V. Vaughan
2471
2472	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: updated and fixed the patches below
2473
24741998-11-04  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
2475
2476	* mdemo/*: added new demo to demonstrate building of dlopenend
2477	modules
2478	* tests/Makefile.am, tests/mdemo*: added some tests for mdemo
2479
24801998-11-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gvv@techie.com>
2481
2482	* demo/configure.in: added AC_EXEEXT macro so that the tests can
2483	work on cywin32/mingw32 hosts.  This requires the current CVS
2484	autoconf
2485
24861998-11-04  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>
2487
2488	* ltmain.in: New flag -export-symbols; new dlpreopen system
2489	* demo/dlmain.c: removed dld_preloaded_symbol_count
2490
24911998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>
2492
2493	* ltmain.in: On installation, don't get confused if the same name
2494	appears more than once in the list of library names.
2495
24961998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>
2497
2498	* ltconfig.in: Add objext and libext variables.  Check for object
2499	suffix.  Check for mingw32* as well as cygwin32*.  Use objext when
2500	testing compiler.  Add support for Visual C++ on cygwin32 when not
2501	using gcc.  Add objext, libext, and fix_srcfile_path to generated
2502	libtool script.
2503	* ltmain.in: Use .${objext} rather than .o.  Use fix_srcfile_path
2504	if it is set.  Check for .obj as well as for .o, and for .lib as
2505	well as for .a.  Use .${libext} rather than .a when creating old
2506	libraries.
2507	* libtoolize.in: Change initial /bin/sh to @SHELL@.
2508	* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Add AC_REQUIRE for
2509	AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, so that autoconf doesn't get mixed up by the
2510	AC_REQUIRE in AC_CHECK_TOOL.
2511
25121998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>
2513
2514	* ltconfig.in: Look in the right directory for libtool.c in
2515	archive_cmds for cygwin32.
2516
25171998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>
2518
2519	* ltconfig.in: Fix cygwin32 support to avoid using a double
2520	extension, to delete the def file, to set version_type to windows,
2521	and to include versuffix in the DLL name.
2522	* ltmain.in: Add support for a version_type of windows.
2523
25241998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>
2525
2526	* ltconfig.in: Add cygwin32 support.
2527	* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Call AM_SYS_LIBTOOL_CYGWIN32 on a
2528	cygwin32 host.  Pass DLLTOOL and AS to ltconfig.
2529	(AM_SYS_LIBTOOL_CYGWIN32): New macro.
2530
25311998-11-04  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2532
2533	* libtool.m4 (sco): fix typo
2534
25351998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>
2536
2537	* ltconfig.in: On AIX, don't treat GNU ld specially.
2538
25391998-11-04  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2540
2541	* ltconfig.in (hardcode_minus_L): Revert Ian's patch for
2542	ltconfig.in.  Although -L hardcoding is not used with GNU ld, it
2543	does happen, so hardcode_minus_L must be set to yes.
2544
2545	* ltconfig.in (compiler_o_lo): check whether we can write directly
2546	to a .lo
2547
2548	* ltmain.in (compiler_o_lo): if not, write to .o and rename it
2549
25501998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>
2551
2552	* ltconfig.in: For sunos4 using GNU ld, set hardcode_minus_L to
2553	no.
2554	* ltmain.in: Add some hacks to make SunOS --enable-shared work
2555	when using GNU ld.

2564
25651998-11-04  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2566
2567	* ltconfig.in (need_locks): if neither `-c -o' nor hard links are
2568	available, fallback to not so safe mechanism, by setting
2569	need_locks to warn
2570	* ltmain.in (need_locks): when need_locks is set to warn, use the
2571	lockfile to try to fail in case of incorrect concurrent builds
2572
2573	* THANKS: Added Eric Estievenart
2574
25751998-11-04  Eric Estievenart  <eric@via.ecp.fr>

2581	* ltconfig.in (disable-lock): control need_locks
2582	(hard_links): check whether hard-links can be used for locking

2584
25851998-11-03  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2586
2587	* ltmain.in: correctly create libraries and programs with
2588	directory components in their names
2589
25901998-11-03  Eric Estievenart <eric@via.ecp.fr>
2591

2593
25941998-11-02  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>
2595
2596	* ltconfig.in: For sunos4, add ${libname}.so$versuffix to
2597	library_names_spec.
2598	* ltmain.in: For version_type of sunos, set versuffix even if
2599	-version-info was not used.
2600
26011998-11-02  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2602
2603	* ltmain.in (libobj): default value must not contain directory
2604	components
2605
26061998-11-02  Eric Estievenart <eric@via.ecp.fr>
2607
2608	* ltconfig.in (compiler): detect if the compiler supports
2609	-c and -o flags, create a variable compiler_c_o. Also issue
2610	a big warning if it is not supported
2611
2612	* ltmain.in (compile): enable the -o option as input for libtool.
2613	The objects are not moved if the compiler supports -o with -c.
2614	Sources and objects can contain relative directories.
2615	(link): enable the linking of executables into relative directories
2616
26171998-11-02  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2618
2619	* AUTHORS: added myself as a co-maintainer
2620	* THANKS: and removed my name from here
2621
2622	* autogen: new script; run it to bootstrap libtool after checking
2623	it out from CVS
2624
2625	* libtool.m4 (CFLAGS): check whether -belf is needed on SCO, as
2626	suggested by Robert Lipe <robertl@dgii.com>
2627
26281998-10-31  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@trick.fig.org>
2629
2630	* demo/Makefile.am (hc-libpath): Use parameters from the libtool
2631	in the top build directory, since the one in the demo directory is
2632	not guaranteed to exist.
2633
26341998-10-27  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>
2635
2636	* demo/Makefile.am (objdir): there are no longer quotes around

2652	avoid deleting the main library when installing symlinks.  From
2653	Jeff Dairiki.
2654	(link): Get rid of backticks in a here doc comment.
2655	This causes segfaults on Solaris 2.  From Aleksandar Bakic.
2656	(finish): Don't display messages
2657

2681	archive expansion.  From Ulrich Drepper.
2682
26831998-06-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2684
2685	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: Change globs to accept forward slashes
2686	in absolute directory names used on DOS-like systems.  From Robert
2687	S. Maier.
2688
2689Thu May 28 18:59:08 1998  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>
2690
2691	* ltconfig.in: Use $SHELL when invoking shell scripts.
2692
26931998-05-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2694
2695	* ltmain.in (compile): Don't have `-static' turn off libtool
2696	libraries, so that people can use it just to guarantee that `.o'
2697	files exist.  Suggested by David Mosberger-Tang.
2698
26991998-05-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2700
2701	* ltmain.in (link): Possibly reexec the shell from within the
2702	wrapper script.
2703	Allow `-version-info' and `-release' to coexist again.  If people
2704	want to shoot themselves in the foot, I'd better let them do so,
2705	so that people who are smart enough not to can squeeze out another
2706	ounce of functionality.  From Tim Janik.
2707	(version_vars): Delete dead variable.
2708
2709	* ltconfig.in (hardcode_minus_L): FreeBSD 3.0 doesn't hardcode, at
2710	last.  Reported by Jason Nordwick.
2711
2712	* libtoolize.in, ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: Change a bunch of `if
2713	test ...; then : ; else ...' constructs to `if test ! ...; then
2714	...', for clarity.
2715
27161998-05-17  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2717
2718	* ltmain.in (LC_ALL, LANG): Save these values and restore them
2719	during execute mode.  From Pavel Kankovsky.
2720	(mode): Accept strace and truss as programs that throw us into
2721	execute mode.  From Pavel Kankovsky.
2722
27231998-05-07  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>
2724
2725	* ltconfig.in: Don't use .$versuffix or .$major.  Instead, assume
2726	the variable will include any required prefix.
2727	* ltmain.in: If no -version-info option was used, produce empty
2728	version strings rather than 0.0.0.  When making library symlinks,
2729	avoid making a symlink if the name would be the same.
2730
27311998-04-27  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2732
2733	* ltmain.in (link): Support `unsupported' as a hardcode_action.
2734	Reported by Lars Hecking.
2735	(lib_linked): Do some sanity checking to make sure that we
2736	actually do link libtool libraries into the program to prevent the
2737	above problem from happening again.
2738
27391998-04-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2740
2741	* ltmain.in: Maybe reexec under $SHELL, if $echo doesn't work.
2742	Reported by Lars Hecking.
2743
27441998-04-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2745
2746	* Makefile.am (maintainer-rekey): New rule to force us to change
2747	Project-Version after we make a release.  This keeps all version
2748	numbers in sync, rather than branching just before the release.
2749	(maintainer-release, maintainer-checkin): Use maintainer-rekey.
2750
2751	* ltmain.in (finish): Notice when a finish command fails, so that
2752	we can add it to the list of recommendations.
2753
27541998-04-17  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2755
2756	* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Append file descriptor 5 to
2757	config.log, so that configure doesn't clobber the messages that
2758	ltconfig put there.  From David Taylor.
2759
27601998-04-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2761
2762	* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): Try using `$CC -shared' when
2763	configuring for GCC under irix5 and irix6.  From Wolfram Gloger.
2764	(ofile): Add `--output' flag to change the name of the generated
2765	libtool.  Suggested by Wolfram Gloger.
2766
27671998-04-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2768
2769	* ltmain.in: Remove all hardcoded references to ltmain.in in
2770	favour of $PACKAGE and $PROGRAM.
2771	(install): Compute the installation name for programs, in case we
2772	install a relinked file which has a different name.  Reported by
2773	Pieter Schoenmakers.
2774
2775	* ltconfig.in (echo): Try using the ksh(1) `print -r' builtin
2776	command, before reverting to printf(1).
2777
2778	* Makefile.am (libtool): Use $(SHELL) when invoking ltconfig.
2779
2780	* ltconfig.in (echo): Rewrite the test for a working echo so that
2781	we win on Solaris by avoiding printf(1), if possible.
2782
2783	* tests/quote.test (echo): Update the echo test from ../ltconfig.in.
2784
27851998-04-13  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>
2786
2787	* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_NM): Don't override NM in the environment.
2788
27891998-04-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2790
2791	* ltmain.in: New `--config' flag to print out all configured
2792	variables.
2793
2794	* libtool.m4: Pass ltconfig the undocumented --no-reexec flag,
2795	since we call it explicitly using CONFIG_SHELL.
2796
2797	* ltconfig.in: Restart the script under a different shell if
2798	CONFIG_SHELL is not /bin/sh.  This way, people can use Bash if
2799	they don't have a working echo program.
2800
2801	* ltmain.in, ltconfig.in: Use $SHELL instead of /bin/sh when
2802	generating executable scripts.
2803
2804	* libtoolize.in, ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: Implement the `--debug'
2805	flag to begin shell tracing.
2806
2807	* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): Don't use `gcc -shared', even if we
2808	have GNU ld.  Reported by Robert S. Maier.
2809
28101998-04-06  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2811
2812	* ltconfig.in (pic_flag): Create more than just a null C file, so
2813	that the SunPRO 4.2 cc doesn't complain.  From Bob Friesenhahn.
2814	(gnu_ld_acts_native): Delete this variable.  There is just too
2815	much version skew to try to pretend GNU ld is the same as the
2816	system ld.  Reported by Ian Lance Taylor.
2817	(hardcode_action): Don't bother relinking or aborting on systems
2818	that are too dynamic to have a consistent hardcode method.
2819	Reported by Doug Winterburn.
2820
28211998-03-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2822
2823	* doc/libtool.texi: A little proofreading.  From Albert
2824	Chin-A-Young.
2825
28261998-03-23  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2827
2828	* ltconfig.in: Treat HP-UX 11 just like HP-UX 10.  From Jeff Law.
2829
28301998-03-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2831
2832	* ltconfig.in (reload_flag): Correct a tiny bug where `--silent'
2833	would still print out the reload flag.  From Stephan Kulow.
2834
28351998-03-20  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>
2836
2837	* libtool.m4: Use changequote to avoid problems with square
2838	bracket patterns.
2839
28401998-03-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2841
2842	* Release 1.2.
2843
28441998-03-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2845
2846	* ltmain.in: Rearrange some of the echos to make them more
2847	consistent.
2848
28491998-03-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2850
2851	* ltmain.in: Break up an echo command that causes Solaris printf
2852	to dump core.  Apparently the Solaris people hardcoded a 2110-byte
2853	buffer into their printf(1).  Feh.  From John Judge.
2854
28551998-03-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2856
2857	* ltconfig.in: Change the test for the PIC compiler flag so that
2858	we assume it doesn't work if there are any warning messages.  This
2859	fixes a bug using old GCC's on HP-UX.  Reported by Akim Demaille.
2860
28611998-03-10  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>
2862
2863	* Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig): Remove bogus command to create
2864	a file ltconfig in the build directory.
2865
28661998-03-09  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>
2867
2868	* ltmain.in: Avoid unnecessary use of command substitution,
2869	replacing foo=`eval \\$echo \"$mumble\"` by eval foo=\"$mumble\".
2870
2871	(link): Use ${1+"$@"} in wrapper scripts in order to pass
2872	arguments safely to a program.
2873
2874	* ltconfig.in: Use -fpic instead of -fPIC if $host_cpu matches
2875	m68*.
2876
28771998-03-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2878
2879	* Release 1.1.
2880
2881	* ltmain.in: <sigh> I like `here documents' a lot, but apparently
2882	they are so badly handled by old and buggy /bin/sh's, that
2883	replacing `cat <<EOF ... EOF' by `$echo "..."' improves libtool's
2884	speed by a factor of 5.  So, I've eliminated here docs from the
2885	all-important ltmain.in.  From Tom Lane.
2886
2887	* tests/tlibtool: Eliminate from distribution.
2888
2889	* tests/defs (libtool): Don't use tlibtool anymore, since we can now use
2890	the generated libtool directly.
2891
28921998-03-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2893
2894	* ltconfig.in: Copy the contents of ltmain.sh into the generated
2895	libtool.  This should more than halve the execution times on old
2896	or buggy /bin/sh systems, such as HP-UX 9 and SunOS 4.1.4.  From
2897	Tom Lane.
2898
28991998-03-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2900
2901	* libtool.m4 (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC): Add support for
2902	the `default' package, so that people can control unnamed
2903	packages.
2904	(LD): Only add an ABI flag under IRIX 6.x, since IRIX 5.x doesn't
2905	support them.  From Alexandre Oliva.
2906
29071998-03-01  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2908
2909	* ltconfig.in: Port to UnixWare 2.x.  From Christopher Olsen.
2910
29111998-02-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2912
2913	* ltmain.in (compile): For consistency, honour the `-static' flag
2914	during compilation.
2915
29161998-02-23  Brendan Kehoe  <brendan@cygnus.com>
2917
2918	* libtool.m4 (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC): For
2919	--enable-shared, heed the value of $PACKAGE from AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
2920	if given as the argument for the library to be built shared.
2921
29221998-02-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2923
2924	* libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): Fix up a typo confusion between
2925	$ac_dir and $dir.  Reported by Akim Demaille.
2926
2927	* ltmain.in (link): Don't allow both `-version-info' and
2928	`-release'.  Reported by Danny Backx.
2929
29301998-02-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2931
2932	* Makefile.am (noinst_SCRIPTS): Remove lineno from distribution.
2933
2934	* lineno: Remove from distribution, as it is no longer needed.
2935
2936	* Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig.in, $(srcdir)/ltmain.sh):
2937	Rewrite these rules not to use config.status or lineno.  This
2938	makes things simpler, and reduces dependencies, so that the
2939	scripts are rebuilt and installed in srcdir only when necessary.
2940	Reported by Stephan Kulow.
2941
2942	* tests/sh.test (scripts): Remove the lineno script, since it is no
2943	longer distributed.
2944
2945	* tests/assign.test, if.test, test-e.test: Even though 15 tests looks
2946	impressive, these are now redundant.  Remove them from the
2947	distribution.
2948
2949	* tests/sh.test: Do what assign.test, if.test, and test-e.test used to
2950	do.
2951
29521998-02-16  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2953
2954	* libtool.m4, ltmain.in, ltconfig.in: Correctly identify absolute
2955	directory names on MS-DOS.  Suggested by Bob Friesenhahn.
2956
2957	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in, libtool.m4: Change a bunch of `sed N!d'
2958	commands to `sed Nq', for efficiency.
2959
2960	* ltmain.in: Only egrep the first few lines of files in order to
2961	determine if they were libtool-generated.  This prevents egrep(1)
2962	from taking forever to look at a 10MB binary on Solaris.  From
2963	Stephan Kulow.
2964
2965	* tests/defs: Correctly identify absolute directory names on MS-DOS.
2966	Suggested by Bob Friesenhahn.
2967
29681998-02-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2969
2970	* ltconfig.in (no_undefined_flag): Add a flag to declare under
2971	Solaris that the library should not have any undefined
2972	references.  Suggested by Bob Friesenhahn.
2973
2974	* ltmain.in (mkdir): Fix one more mkdir race.  From H.J. Lu.
2975
29761998-02-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2977
2978	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (striplib, old_striplib): Ditto.
2979
2980	* ltconfig.in (profile_flag_pattern): Get rid of dead code.
2981
29821998-02-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2983
2984	* libtool.m4 (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC): New macros to
2985	modify the `--enable-shared' and `--enable-static' defaults in the
2986	configure script.  This works a lot better than the old
2987	`enable_shared' and `enable_static' variables did.  Reported by
2988	Bob Friesenhahn.
2989
2990	* tests/suffix.test (extensions): Added GNAT (GNU Ada Translator)
2991	suffices, `.ada', `.ads', `.adb'.  From Samuel Tardieu.
2992
29931998-02-07  Samuel Tardieu  <sam@inf.enst.fr>
2994
2995	* ltmain.in: Recognize .ada, .ads and .adb as known suffixes (they
2996	are used by GNAT, the GNU Ada compiler).
2997
29981998-02-06  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
2999
3000	* ltconfig.in: Turn on IRIX shared libraries again!
3001
3002	* libtool.m4 (LD): Use file(1) to discover which ABI we're using
3003	on IRIX, and propagate the correct linker flag.  From Jim Wilson.
3004
3005	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (Xsed): `arg=-n; echo "$arg" | sed ...'
3006	gives problems, because the `-n' is interpreted as an option to
3007	echo(1).  So, use `echo "X$arg" | sed -e 's/^X//' ...' everywhere,
3008	via the $Xsed convenience variable.  Suggested by H.J. Lu.
3009
30101998-02-02  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
3011
3012	* ltconfig.in: Turn off IRIX shared library support until 32-bit
3013	and 64-bit ABI differences can be resolved.
3014
30151998-01-28  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
3016
3017	* libtool.m4 (LD): Reverse yesterday's change because `-old_ld'
3018	isn't accepted by GCC.
3019
30201998-01-27  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
3021
3022	* ltconfig.in (soname_spec): Add in user-specified release numbers
3023	for every host system that supports an soname that differs from
3024	the linkname.
3025
3026	* libtool.m4 (LD): Add `-old_ld' to the list of flags that need to
3027	be passed through on SGI.  Reported by Chris Lee.
3028
3029	* ltmain.in (release): Prepend a hyphen to the release number, and
3030	fix a typo because `-version-info' takes only 3 args.  From
3031	H.J. Lu.
3032
30331998-01-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
3034
3035	* ltconfig.in (library_names_spec): On Linux, use the
3036	user-specified release.
3037
3038	* ltmain.in (link): Allow the user to specify a release number for
3039	the library using the `-release' flag.  Suggested by H.J. Lu and
3040	Ian Lance Taylor.
3041
30421998-01-23  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
3043
3044	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export some important
3045	environment variables.  Reported by Ian Haggard.
3046
30471998-01-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
3048
3049	* ltconfig.in (old_postuninstall_cmds): Reorder so that chmod
3050	happens after ranlib.  From Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer.
3051
3052	* ltmain.in (mode): Added `gcc*' and `*-gcc*' to the patterns that
3053	recognize compilers.  From Pieter Schoenmakers.
3054	(link): Recognize `.a' files again.  Suggested by Pieter
3055	Schoenmakers.
3056
30571998-01-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
3058
3059	* ltmain.in (compile): Recognize `.asm' extension, for use with
3060	the nasm assembler.  From Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer.
3061
3062	* tests/suffix.test (extensions): Recognize `.asm'.  From Markus
3063	F.X.J. Oberhumer.
3064
30651998-01-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
3066
3067	* ltconfig.in (runpath_var): Use instead of
3068	`hardcode_runpath_var'.
3069
30701998-01-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
3071
3072	* ltmain.in (finish): Add a better --finish message.  Suggested by
3073	Kenneth Albanowski.
3074
3075	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: Fix a few typos.
3076
30771998-01-03  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
3078
3079	* ltmain.in (link): Quote the definition of $echo in the wrapper
3080	script.
3081
3082	* ltconfig.in (export_dynamic_flag_spec): Use `--export-dynamic'
3083	instead of `-export-dynamic', which is not accepted by all GNU
3084	ld's.  From Eiichi Takamori.
3085
3086	* ltmain.in (install): Don't print silly `library stripping'
3087	warnings.  Reported by Fran�ois Pinard.
3088
30891997-12-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
3090
3091	* ltmain.in: Don't forget to quote the CDPATH substitution.  From
3092	Tor Lillqvist.
3093
30941997-12-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>
3095
3096	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (CDPATH): Unset this environment variable
3097	so that HP-UX shells, at least, don't print out the directory name
3098	after a `cd' command.  From Tor Lillqvist.
3099
31001997-12-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3101
3102	* demo/Makefile.am (hardcode): Change a bunch of references to
3103	`$(LIBS)' to `-lm', since we no longer put -lm in LIBS.
3104
3105	* demo/configure.in: Delete the test for libm, since it is
3106	standard on every system.
3107
3108	* demo/Makefile.am (libhello_la_LDFLAGS): Change to include -lm,
3109	in accordance with new inter-library dependency code.
3110
3111	* ltmain.in (dependency_libs): Added to help people link programs
3112	without having to explicitly specify inter-library dependencies.
3113
3114	* ltconfig.in (COLLECT_NAMES): Oops... I forgot to apply the AIX 3
3115	restriction to the generated libtool script.  Reported by Stefan
3116	Westerfeld.
3117
31181997-12-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3119
3120	* ltconfig.in (thisdir): Quote $echo in the generated libtool
3121	script for HP-UX.  From Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer.
3122
3123	* ltmain.in (link): Recognize the `.s' suffix.  From Markus
3124	F.X.J. Oberhumer.
3125
3126	* ltconfig.in (link_static_flag): Don't quote ${wl} on HP-UX
3127	because link_static_flag is never evaled.  From Eric Backus.
3128
3129	* tests/suffix.test (extensions): Recognize `.s'.  From Markus
3130	F.X.J. Oberhumer.
3131
31321997-12-01  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3133
3134	* demo/Makefile.am (helldl_DEPENDENCIES): Add `libhello.la' to our
3135	dependencies so that parallel builds work correctly.  From Jim
3136	Meyering.
3137
3138	* Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig, $(srcdir)/ltmain.sh): Rewrite
3139	these rules so that they are parallelizable.  Reported by Jim
3140	Meyering.
3141
3142	* ltconfig.in (ltecho): We need special handling to quote the
3143	`echo' variable itself.  From Alexandre Oliva.
3144
31451997-11-29  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3146
3147	* ltconfig.in (COLLECT_NAMES): Enable this workaround for a broken
3148	collect2 only on AIX 3.  This avoids problems on other AIX
3149	versions.  Reported by Stefan Westerfeld.
3150
3151	* ltmain.in, ltconfig.in (finish_eval): Variable like finish_cmds,
3152	except it is a single command which is evaled, and not shown.
3153
3154	* ltconfig.in: Port to AmigaOS.  From Joop van de Wege.
3155
3156	* ltmain.in (echo): Delete preamble to check for a working echo,
3157	since we just use the one included in the generated libtool.
3158
3159	* ltconfig.in (echo): Include this definition in the generated
3160	libtool script.
3161
31621997-11-28  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3163
3164	* ltconfig.in, libtool.m4 (NM): Add /usr/ccs/bin to the PATH
3165	before checking.  From Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3166	(NM): Delete an extraneous egrep from ltconfig.
3167
3168	* ltconfig.in (finish_cmds): Change back to using `ldconfig -n'.
3169	This makes Linux behave like other systems, which is more in line
3170	with what libtool needs.
3171
31721997-11-27  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3173
3174	* ltmain.in: Change a whole bunch of `progname' variables to
3175	`modename'.  This is for clarity, and to fix a tiny typo in finish
3176	mode.
3177
3178	* libtool.spec (Name, Version): Ditto.
3179
3180	* configure.in (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use PRCS to automatically generate
3181	the proper package name and version number.
3182
3183	* ltconfig.in (gnu_ld_acts_native): Treat GNU ld like the native
3184	linker on SunOS 4.x.  Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
3185	(deplibs): Change the defaults all over, since most systems cannot
3186	handle inter-library dependencies.
3187
3188	* libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): Only look at the first line of the
3189	output from NM when determining whether it supports a command line
3190	option.  This prevents false positives on OSes which ignore
3191	invalid flags, like HP-UX, which prints `nm: unknown option "B"
3192	ignored'.  Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3193
3194	* ltconfig.in (finish_cmds): On Linux, update ld.so.cache by
3195	removing the `-n' flag from ldconfig.  Suggested by Kenneth
3196	Albanowski.
3197
3198	* Makefile.am (maintainer-checkin, maintainer-release): New
3199	commands to reap the full benefit of using PRCS to maintain
3200	libtool version numbers.
3201
3202	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (global_symbol_pipe): Explicitly cast all
3203	addresses to __ptr_t.  This fixes a bug due to a strict IRIX
3204	compiler.  Suggested by Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3205
32061997-11-23  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3207
3208	* ltmain.in (echo): For aesthetics, avoid using `$echo' when
3209	`echo' will do *exactly* the same thing.  This prevents ugly
3210	`printf %s\n timestamp > some.lo' commands from appearing in the
3211	libtool output.
3212	(link): Delete the `-allow-undefined' flag because it is now the
3213	default.  Make `-no-undefined' in order for people to declare that
3214	a library is entirely self-contained.  This prevents maintainers
3215	from accidentally creating shared libraries that won't work on
3216	AIX.  Reported by Stefan Westerfeld and Danny Backx.
3217
3218	* ltconfig.in (echo): Use an echo variable, just as in ltmain.in,
3219	because we need it for quoting substitutions.  For most of the
3220	script, though, use the default echo, just like Autoconf does.
3221	Without this patch, character \001 ends up in global_symbol_pipe.
3222	Reported by Lars Hecking and J�rgen Fluk.
3223
3224	* ltmain.in (echo): Set default to `echo=echo'.  Ooops.  That's
3225	what you get for testing obscure code paths and forgetting to
3226	revert to the original version.  Reported by Danny Backx.
3227
32281997-11-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3229
3230	* ltconfig.in (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Set to `-R' for FreeBSD
3231	2.2.  From Sean Kelly.
3232	(postuninstall_cmds, old_postuninstall_cmds): Commands to run
3233	after uninstall mode deletes the libraries.  Suggested by Joop van
3234	de Wege.
3235	(export_dynamic_flag_spec): On HP-UX, add the `${wl}-E'
3236	export_dynamic_flag_spec.  Reported by Matthias Hoelzer.
3237
32381997-11-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3239
3240	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (sed_quote_subst): Oops.  We forgot to
3241	quote backticks.  Reported by Joop van de Wege.
3242
3243	* tests/quote.test: Add backticks to the backslashify test.
3244
32451997-11-09  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3246
3247	* ltconfig.in (symcode): On IRIX, don't extract undefined
3248	symbols.  When a function is inlined by G++, references to it are
3249	still marked as undefined in the object file.  This means that our
3250	symbol file causes undefined references, because there are
3251	actually no matching global symbols.  Reported by Paul Kendall.
3252
32531997-11-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3254
3255	* ltconfig.in: Don't forget to redirect the COLLECT_NAMES libtool
3256	script fragment to the generated libtool, rather than to stdout.
3257
32581997-11-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3259
3260	* libtool.m4 (LD): Add a more sophisticated test to determine the
3261	ABI flag on IRIX 6.  Suggested by Lars Hecking and Ian Lance
3262	Taylor.
3263
3264	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (COLLECT_NAMES): Only export this
3265	variable if we are running under AIX.  Otherwise, we tickle a g++
3266	bug under IRIX.  From Paul Kendall.
3267
3268	* Change bug reporting address to <bug-libtool@gnu.org>.
3269
3270	* ltconfig.in (allow_undefined_flag): OSF/1 3.x also requires a
3271	wildcard argument to `-expect_unresolved'.  From Stephan Kulow.
3272
32731997-11-06  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3274
3275	* ltmain.in (link): Use libname_spec.
3276
3277	* ltconfig.in (pic_flag): Somehow, the HP-UX pic_flag (`+Z') was
3278	dropped between libtool-1.0 and now.  Add it back in.  Reported by
3279	Akim Demaille.
3280	Integrated more patches for OS/2.  From Jeff Freedman.
3281	(libname_spec): New variable for OSes that don't require their
3282	libraries to look like `libNAME.a'.
3283
3284	* ltmain.in (link): Only use global_symbol_pipe if it has been
3285	defined.  From Stephan Kulow.
3286
3287	* ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): Protect C fragment under C++
3288	compilers.  From Stephan Kulow.
3289
3290	* Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/acinclude.m4,
3291	$(srcdir)/demo/acinclude.m4): Change rules to use LN_S so that
3292	they can be run on any system.
3293
3294	* ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): For NetBSD, don't include deplibs.
3295	From Dieter Baron.
3296
3297	* ltmain.in (mkdir): Check that the directory doesn't exist before
3298	we exit with error, so that we don't get races during parallel
3299	builds.  From H.J. Lu.
3300	(fbsd_hideous_sh_bug): Apparently, some FreeBSD /bin/sh's have a
3301	bug that will empty base_compile unless we do this dummy
3302	assignment.  From Marc van Kempen.
3303
33041997-10-22  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3305
3306	* libtool.m4 (libtool_shared, libtool_static): Fixed logic error
3307	to reenable override of libtool's defaults by setting
3308	enable_shared or enable_static in configure.in.  Reported by Tom
3309	Tromey and Stephan Kulow.
3310
3311	* ltmain.in (link): Add explicit support for compiler options that
3312	begin with `+'.  Reported by Aubert Pierre.
3313
33141997-10-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3315
3316	* ltmain.in: Silly me.  Change a bunch of occurances of "* $dir *"
3317	into *" $dir "*.
3318
3319	* ltconfig.in (pic_flag): PIC is the default for AIX.  From Mark
3320	Kettenis.  It is also the default for OSF/1.
3321
3322	* demo/Makefile.am (objdir): Quote double-quotes.  From Mark
3323	Kettenis.
3324
3325	* ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): This variable is not
3326	double-evaled, so it should not be double quoted.  From Mark
3327	Kettenis.
3328
33291997-10-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3330
3331	* ltconfig.in (LD): Same as below.
3332
3333	* libtool.m4 (LD): Set LD if we discover an absolute path to GNU
3334	ld.  This prevents breakage when `$CC -print-prog-name=ld' returns
3335	an absolute directory name.  Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
3336
3337	* ltconfig.in: Port to OS/2 using EMX.  From Jeff Freedman.
3338
3339	* ltmain.in (link): Use old_archive_from_new_cmds.
3340
3341	* ltconfig.in (old_archive_from_new_cmds): New variable to
3342	support DLL libraries.
3343
3344	* ltmain.in (link): Only `eval' export_dynamic_flag_spec if it is
3345	not empty.  Reported by Stephan Kulow.
3346
33471997-10-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3348
3349	* ltconfig.in (objdir): Use the .libs directory on all systems for
3350	which that name is valid, and _libs on the others (like MS-DOS).
3351	Suggested by Juergen Erhard.
3352
33531997-10-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.org>
3354
3355	* ltmain.in (link): Added a bit more inter-language support to the
3356	symbol file generation process.
3357	Instead of complaining about unrecognized argument suffices, pass
3358	them to the linker.  This prevents libtool from barfing on
3359	mandatory arguments to linker flags.  Reported by Michael
3360	Tiemann.
3361
33621997-10-09  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3363
3364	* ltmain.in (link): Change the wrapper script to follow symlinks
3365	in order to find thisdir.  This should put the final nail in the
3366	coffin for problems with wrapper scripts.  From Ian Lance Taylor.
3367
33681997-10-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3369
3370	* ltmain.in: Change a few `$echo' commands into `$show' to make
3371	--silent mode behave as advertised.
3372
3373	* ltconfig.in (allow_undefined_flag): On OSF/1 4.x, use
3374	`-expect_unresolved \*'.  From Christian Mondrup.
3375
3376	* ltmain.in (install): Change install mode to allow a specified
3377	/bin/sh argument at the beginning of the install_prog.  Also,
3378	specify the shell to run when invoking libtool recursively for
3379	finish mode.  From Chris Provenzano.
3380
3381	* libtool.m4 (LIBTOOL): Change definition to include $(SHELL).
3382	From Chris Provenzano.
3383
3384	* ltconfig.in: Port to UTS 4.x.  From Alistair Crooks.
3385
3386	* demo/Makefile.am (hc-libflag): Add rules to make this binary for
3387	hardcode.test.
3388
3389	* tests/hardcode.test (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Check the hardcoding
3390	properties of the flag_spec, too.
3391
33921997-09-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3393
3394	* ltconfig.in (LD): As with libtool.m4, don't override LD.
3395	Do a whole bunch of ac_t quoting.
3396
33971997-09-24  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>
3398
3399	* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LD): Don't override LD in the environment.
3400
34011997-09-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3402
3403	* libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): Arguments to the for loop must be
3404	whitespace separated.  This fixes a bug under FreeBSD's /bin/sh.
3405	From George Scott.
3406
3407	* tests/defs, tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Change =inst to 
3408	_inst to fix portability on MS-DOS.  From Robert Hoehne.
3409
34101997-09-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3411
3412	* ltmain.in (deplibs): When building shared libraries, always add
3413	-lc to deplibs.  Reported by Andreas Jellinghaus.
3414
34151997-09-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3416
3417	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (COLLECT_NAMES): If the COLLECT_NAMES
3418	environment variable has not been set, set it to empty.  This
3419	apparently fixes the AIX bug with GCC's collect2.  Reported by
3420	Mark Kettenis.
3421
3422	* demo/Makefile.am, ltmain.in, tests/hardcode.test (objdir):
3423	Changed objdir variable .libs to _libs.  This is another MS-DOS
3424	portability fix.  Suggested by Robert Hoehne.
3425
3426	* tests/hardcode.test (objdir): New variable to simplify change from
3427	.libs to _libs (MS-DOS portability fix).
3428
34291997-09-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

3431	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (hardcode_minusL): Fix typo by renaming
3432	hardcode_minusL to hardcode_minus_L.  Also add FreeBSD
3433	hardcode_libdir_flag_spec. From Paul Traina.
3434
3435	* ltmain.in (link): Honour multiple `-rpath' flags when linking
3436	programs.  Suggested by Bengt Martensson.
3437	Quote appearances of $echo in the wrapper script.  From Alexandre
3438	Oliva.
3439
3440	* Makefile.am, configure.in, tests/tlibtool: Use ltmain.in instead
3441	of ltmain.sh.in.
3442
3443	* ltmain.in: Rename ltmain.sh.in to ltmain.in.  This fixes a
3444	portability problem (on MS-DOS, of all places!).  From Robert
3445	Hoehne.
3446
34471997-09-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3448
3449	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Do not transform libtool objects to regular
3450	objects if we did not build old libs.  Reported by Tomas Hiller.
3451
34521997-09-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3453
3454	* demo/Makefile.am (hell_debug_LDFLAGS): Change hell.static to
3455	hell.debug in order to reflect the new static linking semantics.
3456
3457	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Add new `-all-static' flag to prevent all
3458	dynamic linking.  The old `-static' flag just prevents dynamic
3459	linking against libtool libraries.  Suggested by Bengt
3460	Martensson.
3461
3462	* ltconfig.in (with_gnu_ld): Add a test to make sure that we are
3463	actually using GNU ld.  This fixes an inconsistency when running
3464	ltconfig without using libtool.m4.  Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
3465	(global_symbol_pipe): Delete symbols that are not valid C
3466	identifiers.  Reported by Johan Danielsson and Bengt Martensson.
3467
3468	* tests/demo-exec.test, tests/demo-inst.test: Change references from
3469	hell.static to hell.debug.
3470
3471	* tests/quote.test (echo): Add the same Digital Unix echo test fixes as
3472	the ones to ltmain.sh.in from Todd Kover.
3473
3474	* tests/if.test, tests/test-e.test (scripts): Add ../lineno to 
3475	the scripts we check.
3476	* tests/if.test: Check for accidental use of test X$something rather
3477	than test "X$something".
3478
34791997-09-04  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3480
3481	* ltmain.sh.in (echo): Quote all the uses of `echo' in all eval
3482	statements.  Reported by Bengt Martensson and Alexandre Oliva.
3483	(echo): Need to surround test args with double quotes, or the echo
3484	test fails on Digital Unix 4.0.  From Todd Kover.
3485
34861997-08-28  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3487
3488	* ltmain.sh.in (echo): Change test to one that uses printf.
3489	This works on AIX, which has the same problems that Solaris does,
3490	but no working echo program.
3491
3492	* tests/quote.test (echo): Change test to version that uses printf.
3493	Be less strict about return results.
3494
34951997-08-27  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3496
3497	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Make sure that compile_command and
3498	finalize_command are always evaled.  Quote any unknown linker
3499	flags we need to pass through.
3500	(compile): Use quoting for flags we pass.
3501	(echo): I hate Sun!  The /usr/bin/echo on Solaris handles
3502	backslash sequences, which makes it impossible to do backslash
3503	quoting using echo and sed.  So, we search for an echo that obeys
3504	the `echo '\t'` = '\t' equality.  Then we use `$echo' everywhere
3505	in ltmain.sh.
3506	Put tabs back into the ${IFS=	} sequences.  Emacs untabify is
3507	libtool bane.
3508
3509	* ltconfig.in: Quote all variable values that may contain
3510	metacharacters creating the libtool script.  This provides
3511	complete protection, so that even single-quotes may appear inside
3512	a libtool variable value.
3513
3514	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Quote finalize_command before putting it in
3515	the wrapper script.
3516
3517	* tests/quote.test (echo): Add the test for a non-backslash-mangling
3518	echo.
3519
35201997-08-26  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3521
3522	* ltmain.sh.in (sed_quote_subst): Change the quoting procedure
3523	again.  I think that the new one is robust for *all* characters,
3524	including whitespace and metacharacters.
3525
3526	* tests/quote.test: New torture test for libtool metacharacter quoting.
3527
35281997-08-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3529
3530	* ltmain.sh.in: Change quoting procedure because some shells
3531	cannot handle `]' in scan sets.  From Ian Dall.
3532
35331997-08-22  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3534
3535	* ltmain.sh.in (execute): Added -dlopen flag handling.  Suggested
3536	by Alexandre Oliva.
3537
35381997-08-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3539
3540	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Change executable wrapper to fix up value
3541	of thisdir, as well as progdir, if the $0 path doesn't work.  This
3542	guarantees that shlibpath_var is set correctly.  Add support for
3543	execute mode.
3544
3545	* ltmain.sh.in (execute): New mode to automatically set
3546	shlibpath_var, which allows easy debugging of uninstalled
3547	executables and libraries.  Suggested by Kenneth Albanowski.
3548
35491997-08-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3550
3551	* Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig): Use lineno.
3552
3553	* configure.in: Add AM_PROG_AWK for lineno.
3554
3555	* lineno: New program to automatically put line numbers in
3556	ltconfig.
3557
3558	* libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (AM_PROG_LD): Yet Another Rewrite, which
3559	incorporates the results of `gcc -print-program-name=ld'.
3560	Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
3561
35621997-08-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3563
3564	* ltmain.sh.in: Accept `--quiet' and `--silent' flags to turn off
3565	command echoing.  From Juergen A. Erhard.
3566
3567	(compile): Recognize the Objective C `.m' extension.  From Juergen
3568	A. Erhard.
3569
3570	(compile): Suppress error output from the second compilation (if
3571	any) so that we don't get those frustrating duplicate error
3572	messages.
3573
3574	* tests/suffix.test (extensions): Added Objective C extension, `.m'.
3575
35761997-08-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3577
3578	* ltconfig.in: Added messages to config.log to describe what sort
3579	of test we are running.
3580	(pic_flag): Added a sanity check for pic_flag.  This should fix
3581	bugs reported using the cc bundled with HP-UX 10.  Suggested by
3582	Bruno Haible and Akim Demaille.
3583
35841997-08-01  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3585
3586	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Add -dlopen and -dlpreopen support for
3587	libtool objects.  This means that dlopened modules no longer need
3588	to be shared libraries.
3589
3590	* ltconfig.in (pic_flag): GCC on IRIX 6 always builds PIC.
3591	Reported by Ian Lance Taylor.
3592
3593	* libtool.m4 (LD): Always add `-n32' to the linker if we are using
3594	GCC on IRIX 6.  Reported by Ian Lance Taylor.
3595
35961997-07-30  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3597
3598	* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Explicitly check enable_shared and
3599	enable_static rather than just enableval.  This allows
3600	configure.in scripts to set their own defaults.  Suggested by
3601	Tommy Reilly.
3602
36031997-07-29  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3604
3605	* ltmain.sh.in: Add NLS environment variable handling copied from
3606	ltconfig.in.  Reported by Akim Demaille.
3607	(link): If allow_undefined_flag is not supported, then turn on old
3608	libraries.  Reported by Akim Demaille.
3609
3610	* demo/dlmain.c (main): Use dld_preloaded_symbol_count to display
3611	a message about the sortedness of the symbol table.
3612
3613	* ltconfig.in (nlist): Use an nlist convenience variable, so that
3614	code can be shared directly with ltmain.sh.in.
3615
3616	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (dld_preloaded_symbol_count): Count up
3617	the number of symbols in the dld_preloaded_symbols.  Set to `-1'
3618	if the list wasn't both sorted and counted.  This allows
3619	applications to do a quick binary search, if they are so inclined.
3620
36211997-07-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3622
3623	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Remove code for `-version-file', since it
3624	has been long-deprecated.
3625
3626	Disable static linking if hardcode_direct is unsupported and there
3627	is no working link_static_flag.  This provides correct behaviour
3628	for all cases on AIX 3, regardless of whether collect2 is broken
3629	or not.  Reported by Mark Kettenis.
3630
3631	* ltconfig.in: Fix typo in test polarity.  From Mark Kettenis.
3632
36331997-07-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3634
3635	* ltconfig.in (hardcode_direct): Set to `unsupported' if aix3 uses
3636	a broken collect2.  Adapted out of test results from Mark
3637	Kettenis.
3638	(link_static_flag): Make sure the link_static_flag actually works
3639	with a trivial binary.
3640
3641	* ltmain.sh.in, ltconfig.in (export_dynamic_flag_spec): Renamed
3642	from export_dynamic_flag because we eval it in ltmain.sh.
3643
3644	* ltmain.sh.in (link_static): Don't eval link_static_flag.
3645
3646	* demo/dlmain.c (main): Change function prototype to be KNR
3647	compatible.  From Kaveh R. Ghazi.
3648
3649	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Use no_builtin_flag.  This works around
3650	conflicting definitions of builtin functions with at least GCC.
3651	Reported by Kazuhiro Sasayama.
3652
3653	* ltconfig.in (no_builtin_flag): New flag to turn off builtin
3654	functions when compiling an object file.
3655	(pipe_works): Use it.
3656
3657	* tests/demo-exec.test (status): Use status variables so that we try to
3658	execute all the programs.
3659
36601997-07-23  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3661
3662	* ltconfig.in (pic_flag): According to the libg++ 2.7.2 configure
3663	script, DEC alpha CPUs are PIC-only, as well.  Reported by Kevin
3664	Jacobs.
3665
36661997-07-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3667
3668	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in: Replace all occurances of "sed 'X;
3669	Y'" with "sed -e 'X' -e 'Y'".
3670
3671	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Finish full integration for `-dlopen' and
3672	`-dlpreopen'.
3673
3674	Fix two silly typos where I used a compile_command in place of a
3675	finalize_command, and vice versa.
3676
3677	Change the wrapper script to check a hardcoded path only if the
3678	argv[0] method fails.  This is a compromise for the previous two
3679	patches, and should solve the majority of problems with wrapper
3680	scripts.  From Kenneth Albanowski.
3681
3682	(link): Change a reference to hardcode_libdir_colon_separated to
3683	use the new hardcode_libdir_separator variable.
3684
3685	* demo/Makefile.am (helldl_LDFLAGS): Add `-export-dynamic' and
3686	`-dlpreopen' for building helldl.
3687
3688	* demo/dlmain.c (main): Succeed, even if none of the libhello
3689	symbols have been preloaded.
3690
36911997-07-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3692
3693	* ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): Add `U' to the accepted global
3694	symbol types.  This means that we will get duplicate symbols, but
3695	we'll also be sure to get all global symbols used by the program.
3696
3697	* ltconfig.in (pipe_works), ltmain.sh.in (link): Sort and make
3698	symbol output unique.
3699
37001997-07-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3701
3702	* ltconfig.in (pipe_works): Check to make sure our guessed
3703	global_symbol_pipe actually works.
3704
3705	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Revert change from Kenneth Albanowski.  The
3706	wrapper scripts are more reliable when they just use the argv[0]
3707	value.  Generally, when the argv[0] method doesn't work, the user
3708	is trying to do something weird with an uninstalled binary, and
3709	should try a different approach.
3710
3711	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (CC): Always use `$CC' instead of
3712	`$cc'.  This fixes a FreeBSD bug.  Reported by Chuck Robey, and
3713	others.
3714
37151997-07-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3716
3717	* ltmain.sh.in (link): In wrapper scripts, hardcode the current
3718	directory to prevent phony argv[0] values from screwing up our
3719	program.  From Kenneth Albanowski.
3720
37211997-07-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3722
3723	* Makefile.am (demo_distfiles): Add demo/dlmain.c to the
3724	distribution.
3725
37261997-07-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3727
3728	* demo/Makefile.am: Add helldl, made from dlmain.c, to demostrate
3729	`-dlopen' usage.
3730
3731	* demo/dlmain.c: New file to demonstrate preloaded modules.
3732
3733	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Add `-dlopen' flag to preload dynamic
3734	modules, even on static platforms.  Use `$NM' and
3735	`$global_symbol_cmd' to extract symbols from required files.
3736	(dlname): Delete dlname mode entirely.  It is rendered obsolete
3737	because the `.la' file format is now a public interface.
3738
3739	* ltconfig.in (NM): New variable for BSD-compatible nm program.
3740	(global_symbol_cmd): Pipeline to extract global symbols from the
3741	nm output.
3742
3743	* ltmain.sh.in: The .la file header should depend on `ltmain.sh',
3744	not `$PROGRAM'.
3745	(link): Make sure $export_dynamic_flag is eval'ed before it is
3746	used.
3747
3748	* tests/demo-exec.test, tests/demo-inst.test: Check the new 
3749	helldl program,	too.
3750
37511997-07-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3752
3753	* libtool.spec: New Red Hat Package Manager specification file in
3754	order to help people prepare distributions of libtool for Linux.
3755
3756	* ltmain.sh.in: Eliminate two accidental uses of the NONE magic
3757	value.  These were breaking libtool's behaviour when no mode is
3758	specified.
3759
3760	* tests/nomode.test: New test to make sure there is correct behaviour
3761	when we don't specify a mode.
3762
37631997-07-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3764
3765	* Release 1.0.
3766
3767	* ltconfig.in: On SunOS, append /usr/etc to the PATH before
3768	running ldconfig; on *BSD, append /sbin.  This was done in line
3769	with the Linux change suggested by Kenneth Albanowski.
3770
3771	* demo/Makefile.am (hardcode_tests): Aesthetic change to
3772	alphabetize order of compiling the hardcode tests.
3773
3774	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Delete README-automake.
3775
3776	* README-automake: Remove from distribution.
3777
37781997-07-02  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3779
3780	* ltmain.sh.in (link): In the executable wrapper, strip trailing
3781	colons from the shlibpath_var because some ld.so's, notably
3782	OpenBSD 2.0's (!), don't parse colon-terminated values correctly.
3783	From Tim Pierce.
3784
37851997-07-01  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3786
3787	* ltmain.sh.in, ltconfig.in: Eliminate uses of the NONE magic
3788	variable value.  Use an empty variable instead.
3789
3790	* ltconfig.in (with_gcc, with_gnu_ld): Do the tests for the C
3791	compiler and linker if the variables are unset, or if they are not
3792	GNU C and ld.
3793	(RANLIB): Eliminate redundant `if' statement.
3794
3795	* configure.in: Use AM_PROG_LD.
3796
3797	* libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LD_GNU): New macro to determine if LD is GNU
3798	ld.
3799	(AM_PROG_LD): Rename AM_PATH_PROG_LD to AM_PROG_LD.  Parameterize
3800	so that the user can specify `--with-gnu-ld' or `--without-gnu-ld'
3801	to indicate his preference.
3802	(AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Use it.
3803
38041997-06-30  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3805
3806	* ltconfig.in: Append /sbin to the path before running ldconfig on
3807	Linux.  This helps superusers who haven't set their PATH
3808	correctly.  Suggested by Kenneth Albanowski.
3809
3810	* tests/if.test: New test to make sure that we haven't forgotten to
3811	follow an `if' statement with a `test' command.  This should avoid
3812	the majority of hard-to-track bugs.
3813
38141997-06-29  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3815
3816	* ltmain.sh.in: Change all the `eval "$run ..."' sequences to
3817	`$run "eval ..."'.
3818
3819	Change all `$ln_s ...' sequences to use `(cd /dir && $LN_S ...)'.
3820	This is the sequence recommended by the Autoconf manual, and
3821	should avoid any problems on older machines.  Eliminate all uses
3822	of `cp -p'.  Reported by Akim Demaille.
3823
3824	(install): Use `test $# -gt 0' instead of `test -n "$1"'.
3825
3826	* ltconfig.in (LN_S): Add test to see if `ln -s' works.
3827
3828	* libtool.m4: Increment serial number, and require AC_PROG_LN_S.
3829
38301997-06-26  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3831
3832	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Add missing `test' statement.  Reported by
3833	Akim Demaille.
3834
38351997-06-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3836
3837	* libtool.m4 (LD): Consistently use ac_cv_path_ld instead of
3838	am_cv_path_ld.  From Tim Pierce.
3839
38401997-06-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3841
3842	* ltmain.sh.in: Redo two robustness fixes.  Alexandre had the
3843	correct approach, but I botched them.
3844
3845	* ltconfig.in (dynamic_linker): Disable shared libraries on
3846	MkLinux unless GNU libc is in use.  Reported by Akim Demaille.
3847
38481997-06-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3849
3850	* ltmain.sh.in (install): Add a missing `test' command.  Reported
3851	by Joel Weber.
3852	Miscellaneous fixes to improve robustness.  From Alexandre Oliva.
3853
3854	* tests/demo-conf.test (CONFIG_SITE): Set to /dev/null, so that the
3855	config.site file doesn't mess up our prefix.  Reported by Joel
3856	Weber.
3857
3858	* tests/demo-inst.test: Always run both hell.static and hell.
3859
3860	* tests/demo-conf.test: Always remove the local config.cache, but run
3861	`make distclean' only if the Makefile exists.  Otherwise, the demo
3862	directory is not cleaned up if a user uses their own config.cache.
3863	Reported by Joel Weber.
3864
38651997-06-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3866
3867	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Create invalid libtool objects when partial
3868	linking if we don't have PIC.  From Jeff Dairiki.
3869	(install): Fix bug if libtool object is installed to a file name
3870	without directory components.  From Jeff Dairiki.
3871
38721997-06-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3873
3874	* Makefile.am (demo/configure): Fix up rules to run autoconf.
3875	(aclocal.m4): Now we depend on our own libtool.m4.
3876
3877	* configure.in (AM_PATH_PROG_LD): Use it.
3878
3879	* libtool.m4 (AM_PATH_PROG_LD): New macro to find the linker used
3880	by the C compiler.
3881	(AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Use it.
3882
3883	* ltmain.sh.in (install, uninstall): Support installing and
3884	uninstalling `.lo' files.  From Jeff Dairiki.
3885
38861997-06-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3887
3888	* Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): Only move if $(srcdir) is not
3889	the current directory.  Don't regenerate every time the package is
3890	reconfigured.  Reported by Tom Tromey.
3891	(MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Added ltconfig, ltmain.sh, so that
3892	$(srcdir) is not messed with during a regular clean.
3893
38941997-06-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3895
3896	* Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): Be sure to move these files
3897	into $(srcdir) once they are created.
3898
3899	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Disable building static libraries.
3900	People should use their favourite AR and RANLIB commands.
3901	Disable building old-style objects if `--disable-static' is
3902	given.  Suggested by Tom Lees and Stephan Kulow.
3903
39041997-06-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3905
3906	* ltconfig.in (host_cpu, host_vendor, host_os): Patch up
3907	definitions, to allow for the fact that the host_os may contain
3908	hyphens (as in linux-gnu).  From Scott Goehring.
3909
3910	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Move the `dlname' setting closer to the top
3911	of the file.  Suggested by David Mosberger-Tang.
3912	Symlink the libtool archive into the `.libs' directory so that it
3913	can be found by programs that want to find a library's dlname by
3914	searching LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Reported by David Mosberger-Tang.
3915
39161997-06-06  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3917
3918	* Tell people to report bugs to the new libtool mailing list,
3919	<bug-libtool@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.
3920
39211997-06-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3922
3923	* ltconfig.in (allow_undefined_flag): New variable that implements
3924	`-allow-undefined'.
3925	(archive_cmds): Enable C++ constructors for FreeBSD 2.2.  From
3926	David Nugent.
3927
3928	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Accept new `-allow-undefined' flag when
3929	building libtool libraries.  This tells libtool to allow
3930	unresolved symbols to exist in shared libraries.  Basically, this
3931	turns off shared libraries on AIX.  Suggested by Ian Lance Taylor.
3932
39331997-05-26  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3934
3935	* libtool.m4 (LD): On at least IRIX, many different flags need to
3936	be propagated to the linker if they are part of the compiler
3937	command line.  Reported by Anthony Green.
3938
39391997-05-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3940
3941	* ltconfig.in: Trivial port to FreeBSD 3.  From David Nugent.
3942
39431997-04-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3944
3945	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Remove all traces of `-whole-archive',
3946	`-no-whole-archive', and libtool convenience libraries.  They were
3947	more trouble than they're worth.  If these are ever reimplemented,
3948	they need more careful attention to make portable.
3949
3950	* libtool.m4, ltconfig.in: Added a `--disable-static' flag to turn
3951	off static library creation.  From Tom Lees (who finally convinced
3952	me that it was the Right Thing to do).
3953
39541997-04-22  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3955
3956	* ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_runpath_var, runpath_var): Use them, if
3957	the linker has no -rpath flag.
3958	Quote the values we use to set runpath_var and shlibpath_var.
3959	(link): Use libobjlibs for libtool convenience libraries.
3960
3961	* ltconfig.in (hardcode_runpath_var, runpath_var): Add new
3962	variables to describe linkers that honour `LD_RUN_PATH'.
3963	(host_cpu, host_os): Use these more specific variables, rather
3964	than the full canonical host system name.
3965
3966	* ltmain.sh.in (dlname): Distinguish between missing
3967	`-export-dynamic' and when the library is only statically linked.
3968
39691997-04-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3970
3971	* ltconfig.in: Trivial port to OpenBSD by making it an alias for
3972	NetBSD.  From Tim Pierce.
3973
39741997-04-16  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3975
3976	* ltconfig.in: Temporary measures to check for a broken collect2
3977	program.  Right now, we just see if we're using GCC on AIX 3.
3978
3979	* tests/hardcode.test: AIX also has arbitrary limits on the line length
3980	of input to fgrep(1), so we need to translate NUL characters to
3981	newlines in order to properly detect embedded `.libs'.  From Bruno
3982	Haible.
3983	Also redirect stderr to /dev/null, so that AIX users don't get
3984	worried by `fgrep: Maximum line length of 2048 exceeded.'.
3985
39861997-04-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3987
3988	* ltmain.sh.in (mode): Use `egrep -e' when inferring the operation
3989	mode.
3990
39911997-04-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3992
3993	* ltconfig.in (linker): Some GNU ld's don't accept `--version',
3994	but do accept `-v'.  From Jukka Honkela.
3995	(ld_shlibs): AIX lossage may be settling down.  AIX 3.2.5 ld does
3996	*not* hardcode direct libraries, but AIX 4.1.[45] ld does.
3997
39981997-04-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
3999
4000	* ltconfig.in (hardcode_action): Fix silly logic error.  From
4001	Bruno Haible.
4002
40031997-04-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4004
4005	* ltmain.sh.in (install): Relink if hardcode_action is `relink',
4006	rather than using complex conditionals based on the other
4007	hardcode variables.
4008
4009	* ltconfig.in (hardcode_action): Set to `relink', not `immediate',
4010	if we can only hardcode existing directories.  Rearrange
4011	conditionals to make the intent clearer, otherwise this can be one
4012	hellish piece of code for the already-dizzy libtool maintainer.
4013
40141997-04-02  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4015
4016	* replfunc.m4: Delete from the distribution.  Documentation now
4017	describes how to set LTALLOCA and LTLIBOBJS in your own
4018	configure.in.
4019
4020	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Make sure a libtool library only counts as
4021	a shared library if its library_names are non-null.
4022	Use timestamps for .lo's when PIC is turned off, rather than
4023	symlinking to the real object.  This helps invalid mixtures of PIC
4024	and non-PIC to fail.
4025
40261997-04-01  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4027
4028	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute libtool.prj.
4029
4030	* Shameless plug: Changed source code management system from CVS
4031	to PRCS.
4032
4033	* libtool.scm: Initial Guile implementation of libtool.
4034
4035	* ltmain.sh.in: An unexpected inconsistency in my whole approach
4036	to shared libraries has proven that libtool needs to be completely
4037	rewritten if I'm going to give full shared library support for
4038	platforms that don't use the GNU C library version 2 (which to my
4039	knowledge currently only works on GNU Hurd and Linux/GNU systems).
4040	Porting the GNU C library should not be difficult, though.
4041
4042	Platforms that don't have the dlopen(3) family of functions will
4043	need to install GNU DLD version 4 in order to build any kind of
4044	libraries at all.  Unfortunately, DLD 4 won't be released for a
4045	while, because I maintain it, and I'm too busy working on libtool.
4046
4047	I'll keep the old ltconfig/ltmain.sh implementation around for as
4048	long as I can, and continue applying bug fixes, so that I'll have
4049	a reasonable starting point for this new libtool implementation.
4050
4051	It looks like this implementation will be even more complex than
4052	the original (pre-0.7) libtool.  Initial estimates show that it
4053	may be up to 3 times slower, and 5 times larger than libtool-0.9.
4054	I'll probably have to rewrite it in Guile to get reasonable
4055	performance, which will severely limit its portability for a
4056	while.
4057
4058	That will also introduce a bootstrapping issue, since the next
4059	release of Guile will use libtool to build shared libraries.  So,
4060	if users want to have shared Guile libraries, they will have to
4061	configure Guile with `--disable-shared', compile it, install it,
4062	then reconfigure Guile with `--enable-shared' and repeat.
4063
4064	I was hoping to get libtool 1.0 out the door by early April, but
4065	now it looks like it will take at least another year before it'll
4066	be usable by the public at large.  April fools.  libtool.scm
4067	doesn't exist yet, either.
4068
4069	* ltconfig.in (verify_host): Remove redundant `Transform *-*-linux*
4070	to *-*-linux-gnu*'.  From Bruno Haible.
4071
4072	* tests/hardcode.test: AIX 3 doesn't have strings(1) so we need to do a
4073	funny tr and pipe the output to fgrep.  From Bruno Haible.
4074
40751997-03-31  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4076
4077	* Makefile.am: Use the new AUTOMAKE and ACLOCAL variables.
4078
4079	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Only fail if a convenience library doesn't
4080	exist, and the user specified -whole-archive.
4081	Fix shell quoting that was breaking @OUTPUT@ substitution.
4082
40831997-03-28  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4084
4085	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Use the hardcode_libdir_separator.
4086	Convenience libraries are libtool objects if we're not building
4087	libtool libs.
4088
4089	* ltconfig.in (hardcode_libdir_separator): Added in case the
4090	linker only honours the last of the -rpath flags (but it can
4091	contain multiple colon-separated directories), such as on OSF/1.
4092	Reported by Carl D. Roth.
4093
4094	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Set the dlname if -export-dynamic is given.
4095	(install, uninstall): Handle the dlname file separately.
4096
4097	* ltconfig.in (export_dynamic_flag): Added to allow programs to
4098	use reflexive dlopens.
4099
4100	* ltmain.sh.in: Include the mode name in any help messages.
4101	(dlname): New mode to give the name to be used with dlopen(3).
4102
4103	* ltconfig.in (AR): Allow AR to be set by the user, and export it
4104	to ltmain.sh.
4105
4106	* ltmain.sh.in: Remove broken profiled library support.
4107	Added `-whole-archive' and `-no-whole-archive' to manipulate
4108	convenience libraries.
4109
41101997-03-27  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4111
4112	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Allow the creation of static convenience
4113	libraries made of libtool objects.  Suggested by David
4114	Mosberger-Tang.
4115
41161997-03-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4117
4118	* ltconfig.in: On AIX, libtool also needs to look for `B' symbols
4119	in nm output.  These are global variable definitions.
4120
4121	* ltmain.sh.in: Linking with -static should link against the
4122	linklib if old_library is empty (like it is on AIX).
4123
4124	* ltconfig.in: Change the order of OS detection, so that
4125	linux-gnu* is detected before gnu*.
4126
4127	* Makefile.am (libtool): Use the correct CC, RANLIB, LD, when
4128	generating libtool.  From Carl D. Roth.
4129
4130	* configure.in: Find out the user-supplied CC, LD, RANLIB.  From
4131	Carl D. Roth.
4132
41331997-03-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4134
4135	* ltmain.sh.in: Linking with -static should link against the old
4136	library, not linklib.
4137
4138	* README-automake: Updated to point to Automake 1.1m.
4139
41401997-03-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4141
4142	* demo/main.c: Use it.
4143
4144	* demo/foo.h: Declare it.
4145
4146	* demo/foo.c: Added definition of `nothing' so that we have an
4147	global variable definition, as well as functions.
4148
41491997-03-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4150
4151	* ltconfig.in: Make sure either enable_shared or enable_static is
4152	configured.  Reported by Tom Tromey.
4153
4154	* ltmain.sh.in: Bomb out if no library types are configured.
4155
41561997-02-22  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4157
4158	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Renamed
4159	from `hardcode_libdir_flag'.
4160	(library_names_spec): Renamed from `lib_names'.
4161
4162	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_action): Change value from
4163	`rpath' to `immediate'.
4164
4165	* replfunc.m4: Add AM_FUNC_ALLOCA, AM_FUNC_MEMCMP, and
4166	AM_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS.
4167
41681997-02-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4169
4170	* ltconfig.in: Transform *-*-linux* to *-*-linux-gnu* to support
4171	old-style config.guess scripts.
4172
41731997-02-17  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4174
4175	* ltmain.sh.in: Create objdir *before* linking a program into it.
4176
41771997-02-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4178
4179	* ltconfig.in: Any ld --version that returns GNU is probably a GNU
4180	ld.  From Marcus Daniels.
4181
4182	* libtool.m4: Added AM_REPLACE_FUNCS.
4183
41841997-02-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4185
4186	* ltconfig.in: Trivial port to *-*-osf4.  From Bruno Haible.
4187
41881997-02-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4189
4190	* ltconfig.in: AIX 3 and 4 ld only hardcodes LIBPATH if -L is not
4191	specified.  This behaviour is the same with both xlc and gcc.
4192
41931997-02-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4194
4195	* doc/platforms.texi: Yaay!  We found a workaround for HP-UX
4196	/bin/sh buffer overflows.  From Eric Backus.
4197
41981997-02-03  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4199
4200	* Release 0.9.
4201
4202	* PLATFORMS, doc/platforms.texi, Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am:
4203	Move PLATFORMS to doc/platforms.texi.
4204
4205	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Use hardcode_libdir_flag to get a library
4206	directory into the resulting binary.
4207	Use hardcode_action, and make many simplifying changes to have
4208	compilation and finalization be consistent with each other.
4209
4210	* ltconfig.in: Not so amazing!  It's AIX cc that hardcodes direct
4211	libraries... gcc doesn't, though.
4212	(link_rpath_flag): Change link_rpath_flag to be
4213	hardcode_libdir_flag.
4214	(hardcode_action): New variable to simplify ltmain.sh.
4215
4216	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Do the full make sequence with
4217	--disable-shared, then without.
4218
4219	* tests/demo-sttc.test: Configure the demo directory with
4220	--disable-shared.
4221
42221997-01-29  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4223
4224	* ltmain.sh.in: Change to take advantage of linkers that don't
4225	hardcode direct libraries.
4226
4227	* ltconfig.in: Amazing!  AIX 3 linker doesn't hardcode direct
4228	libraries, which makes it less buggy than AIX 4.  Reported by Mark
4229	Kettenis.
4230
4231	* demo/configure.in: Check for the math library.
4232
4233	* demo/foo.c (foo): Change to use the `cos' function, so that we
4234	need to link against another library.
4235
4236	* tests/hardcode.test: Rewrite to use fgrep on output from ``strings
4237	-a'' if using fgrep directly on the binary files fails.  From Mark
4238	Kettenis.
4239
42401997-01-28  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4241
4242	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Export the PATH variable in order to find
4243	the program, rather than giving a full path.  This helps give the
4244	program a less confusing value for argv[0].
4245
4246	* tests/hardcode.test: Make sure that ../demo/libhello.la really is a
4247	shared library before running hardcoding tests.
4248
42491997-01-26  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4250
4251	* Release 0.8.
4252
42531997-01-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4254
4255	* Makefile.am (demo_distfiles): Add demo/acinclude.m4 to the
4256	distribution.
4257
42581997-01-22  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4259
4260	* libtool.m4: For IRIX 6, ld needs -n32 if cc uses it.  Reported
4261	by Bruno Haible.
4262
4263	* ltconfig.in: IRIX ld does not hardcode direct libraries.
4264	Reported by Bruno Haible.
4265
42661997-01-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4267
4268	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_shlibpath_var): Allow new
4269	value, `unsupported', since most linkers do not allow you to use
4270	shlibpath_var for initial linking.
4271
4272	* ltconfig.in: Lots of bug fixes from Bruno Haible.  Set wl on
4273	OSF/1, fix definitions of hardcode_* variables.
4274	(archive_cmds): Fix not to use +h on HP-UX 9.x.  Reported by Bruno
4275	Haible.
4276
4277	* tests/demo-conf.test: Use the CONFIG_SHELL environment variable when
4278	running configure in the demo directory.  From Bruno Haible.
4279
4280	* tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Make distclean in the demo directory,
4281	so that ``make clean; env CC=cc make check'' works as one would
4282	expect.
4283
4284	* tests/demo-make.test: Fix typo (use $make instead of make).  Reported
4285	by Akim Demaille.
4286
42871997-01-17  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4288
4289	* libtoolize.in: Handle explicit AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR settings.
4290	Suggested by Akim Demaille.
4291
4292	* libtool.m4: Change ltconfig line to use $CONFIG_SHELL when it is
4293	specified.  Reported by Bruno Haible.
4294
42951997-01-16  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4296
4297	* demo/Makefile.am (hc-direct): Do better searching for the proper
4298	name to do a direct link.
4299	(hc-libpath): Make allowances if shlibpath_var cannot be used
4300	to find libraries at link time, such as on AIX.
4301
4302	* Makefile.am (demo_distfiles): Remove ansi2knr.1 and ansi2knr.c.
4303
4304	* demo/foo.c, demo/hello.c, demo/main.c: Change ANSI prototypes to
4305	KNR form, for better portability, and less ansi2knr hair.
4306
4307	* demo/configure.in: Remove AM_FUNC_PROTOTYPES.
4308
4309	* demo/Makefile.am: Remove ansi2knr from the AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
4310
4311	* demo/ansi2knr.1, demo/ansi2knr.c: Removed these files.
4312
4313	* ltmain.sh.in: Use 1>&2 consistently to direct errors and
4314	warnings to stderr.
4315	(compile): Fix missing single quote.
4316
4317	* ltconfig.in (hardcode_direct): On Solaris at least, using
4318	DIR/libNAME.so does not hardcode DIR, so introduce a new hardcode
4319	variable to reflect that.
4320
4321	* ltmain.sh.in (link): If linking with $link_static_flag fails,
4322	then retry without it, but still use the .a versions of
4323	uninstalled libtool archives.
4324
4325	* tests/tlibtool: Rewrote to grab all the settings from the generated
4326	libtool script.
4327
4328	* tests/hardcode.test: Make allowances if shlibpath_var cannot be used
4329	to find libraries at link time, such as on AIX.
4330
43311997-01-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4332
4333	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Eval $link_static_flag.  Reported by Bruno
4334	Haible.
4335
4336	* PLATFORMS: Add to distribution.  Suggested by Bruno Haible.
4337
43381997-01-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4339
4340	* tests/demo-conf.test, tests/demo-inst.test, tests/demo-unst.test, 
4341	tests/hardcode.test:
4342	Use $make instead of make.
4343
4344	* tests/defs (make): Add definition of $make that uses the $MAKE
4345	environment variable, if set.  Suggested by Bruno Haible.
4346
4347	* tests/demo-unst.test (leftovers): Change the find command to ignore
4348	files beginning with a dot, as egrep -v doesn't seem to do the
4349	trick.  Reported by Bruno Haible.
4350
43511997-01-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4352
4353	* ltconfig.in: Add support for SCO OpenServer 5.x.  From
4354	Christopher Olsen.
4355
4356	(can_build_shared): Initialize at the top of the file, so that
4357	shared libraries aren't built on platforms that don't support
4358	them.
4359
4360	* tests/hardcode.test: Added a test to make sure that libtool's idea of
4361	hardcoding system linkers is correct.
4362
43631997-01-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4364
4365	* ltmain.sh.in, ltconfig.in, libtoolize.in, doc/libtool.texi:
4366	Update the copyright completion years.
4367
43681997-01-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4369
4370	* ltconfig.in: Port to IRIX 5.3, 6.2.
4371
43721997-01-06  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4373
4374	* ltconfig.in: HP-UX 9 support is the same as HP-UX 10, so the
4375	port is trivial.
4376
4377	* libtoolize.in: Add --dry-run option, -n for short.
4378
43791997-01-03  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4380
4381	* ltmain.sh.in (link): On at least SunOS, /bin/sh doesn't
4382	understand "export something=val".  From Bruno Haible.
4383
4384	* tests/Makefile.am (distclean-local): Remove all files that the tests
4385	may have created.  Reported by Bruno Haible.
4386
4387	* For all tests, discover srcdir when running from the command
4388	line.
4389
4390	* tests/demo-unst.test: Don't fail if make uninstall doesn't delete
4391	files beginning with a dot, since spurious .nfsXXX files may be
4392	present when running NFS.  Reported by Bruno Haible.
4393
43941997-01-02  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4395
4396	* ltmain.sh.in (compile): Recognize valid source file suffixes for
4397	Fortran and C++.
4398
4399	* tests/suffix.test: New test to guarantee that libtool compile
4400	recognizes valid source file suffices.
4401
44021996-12-17  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4403
4404	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Don't allow *._o and *.l_o to be valid
4405	object type suffixes, in spite of Automake's current ansi2knr
4406	implementation.  Not all compilers allow non-`.o' suffixes.
4407
44081996-12-16  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4409
4410	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Delete the `libtool' version type.
4411
44121996-12-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4413
4414	* ltconfig.in: Use the full autoconf syntax when checking for GNU
4415	C.  Delete library stripping program, until we have a correct
4416	test.
4417
44181996-12-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4419
4420	* ltconfig.in: On AIX 3, use /usr/ucb/nm, not /ucb/nm.  From Mark
4421	Kettenis.
4422
44231996-12-09  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4424
4425	Reported by Charles Kerr:
4426	* doc/libtool.texi (Creating Object Files): Doc fix independant ->
4427	independent.
4428
4429	* ltconfig.in (ld_shlibs): SunOS 4 doesn't support shared library
4430	dependencies.
4431
44321996-12-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4433
4434	* Release 0.7.
4435
4436	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add README-automake to the
4437	distribution.
4438
4439	* ltmain.sh.in (link): When linking libtool libraries, use
4440	standard objects if they are PIC.  This prevents spurious warnings
4441	about invalid suffixes on AIX.
4442
4443	* demo/Makefile.am: Rename libhell to libhello, so that we're not
4444	quite as offensive.
4445
4446	* ltconfig.in: Remove unnecessary host validity checking.
4447
4448	* ltmain.sh.in: Don't force people to use libNAME.la: SOMETHING.la
4449	is good enough (for consistency with *.a handling).
4450
4451	* tests/demo.test: Break up into demo-conf.test, demo-make.test,
4452	demo-exec.test, demo-inst.test, and demo-unst.test, so that passes
4453	and failures are reported more quickly.
4454
4455	* tests/link-2.test: Test to make sure that .lo files don't get built
4456	directly into programs.
4457
44581996-12-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4459
4460	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Accept files ending in .a as standard
4461	object files.  Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
4462	Remove support for creating profiled libraries (for now).
4463	Transform all library objects into standard objects when linking a
4464	program.
4465
4466	* ltconfig.in (thisdir): How embarrassing!  An error in the regexp
4467	for finding the directory component of the script path.
4468
4469	* tests/tlibtool: A typically-configured libtool script, that uses
4470	../ltmain.sh.in for its backend.
4471
4472	* tests/link.test: Make sure that it is legal to link against .a files.
4473
44741996-12-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4475
4476	* ltmain.sh.in (compile): Support `.S' (preprocessed assembler)
4477	files.  Reported by Anthony Green.
4478
4479	* libtoolize.in: Give clearer instrutions for how to update
4480	aclocal.m4.
4481
4482	* ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (link): Add support for creating
4483	reloadable objects.
4484
44851996-12-04  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4486
4487	* ltmain.sh.in (install): Fix passing -n flag to `libtool
4488	--finish'.
4489	(compile): Compile `.lo' and `.o' objects at the same time so that
4490	non-PIC objects (if they are available) can be used for linking
4491	into programs and creating static archives.  Suggested by Ulrich
4492	Drepper.
4493
44941996-12-03  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4495
4496	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Give the full path to the libtool library
4497	when sourcing it.
4498
4499	* ltconfig.in (old_striplib): Do a configuration test to determine
4500	if old-style libraries actually can be stripped or not.
4501
45021996-12-02  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4503
4504	* tests/demo.test: Try compiling the ../demo subdirectory, with no
4505	special options.
4506
4507	* test-e.test: Check that we haven't used `test -e' anywhere in
4508	our portable shell scripts.
4509
45101996-12-02  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4511
4512	* ltconfig.in: Delete reference to ABOUT-LIBS.
4513
4514	* tests: Added new subdirectory.
4515
4516	* doc/libtool.texi: Doc fixes, and finished up the Configuring
4517	chapter.
4518
4519	* ltmain.sh.in (link): Allow *._o and *.l_o to be valid object
4520	file suffixes, for Automake's ansi2knr implementation.
4521	New option -version-info replaces -version-file.
4522
4523	[help]: Give a pointer to mode-specific help when appropriate.
4524
4525	* ltconfig.in: Changed messages to correspond to AM_PROG_CC_STDC.
4526
4527	* demo: Also test Automake's ansi2knr support.
4528
45291996-11-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4530
4531	* ltconfig.in: Bug fixes for AIX 4, and for static platforms.
4532
4533	* ltmain.sh.in (install): Fix for loops over arguments.
4534	Need to quote ${IFS= } -> "${IFS= }".
4535	(link): Fix soname_spec bug.  Create objdir whether or not we have
4536	shared libraries.
4537
4538	* ltconfig.in: Check for library stripping program.
4539	Use test -f instead of test -e.
4540
45411996-11-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4542
4543	* ltconfig.in: Don't run the RANLIB test unless RANLIB wasn't
4544	set.
4545	Be verbose about the environment variables we were configured
4546	with.
4547
4548	* ltmain.sh.in (objdir): change to .libs.
4549
45501996-11-16  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4551
4552	* ltmain.sh.in (install): Just plunge ahead with the
4553	installation... don't try to enforce dependencies.
4554
45551996-11-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4556
4557	* ltmain.sh.in: Fix up $libdir to be $dest in install mode.
4558
45591996-11-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4560
4561	* ltmain.sh: Finished rewrite of compile, link, and install
4562	modes.
4563
4564	* New ChangeLog file for libtool-0.7, since I've totally rewritten
4565	libtool.
4566
45671996-03-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
4568
4569	* For historical reasons: this is when I started writing libtool.
