Continued in ChangeLog.2002
Index: ChangeLog.1996
from  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Don't allow *._o and *.l_o to be valid
        object type suffixes, in spite of Automake's current ansi2knr
        implementation.  Not all compilers allow non-`.o' suffixes.

1996-12-16  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Delete the `libtool' version type.

1996-12-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Use the full autoconf syntax when checking for GNU
        C.  Delete library stripping program, until we have a correct
        test.

1996-12-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: On AIX 3, use /usr/ucb/nm, not /ucb/nm.  From Mark
        Kettenis.

1996-12-09  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        Reported by Charles Kerr:
        * doc/libtool.texi (Creating Object Files): Doc fix independant ->
        independent.

        * ltconfig.in (ld_shlibs): SunOS 4 doesn't support shared library
        dependencies.

1996-12-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Release 0.7.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add README-automake to the
        distribution.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): When linking libtool libraries, use
        standard objects if they are PIC.  This prevents spurious warnings
        about invalid suffixes on AIX.

        * demo/Makefile.am: Rename libhell to libhello, so that we're not
        quite as offensive.

        * ltconfig.in: Remove unnecessary host validity checking.

        * ltmain.sh.in: Don't force people to use libNAME.la: SOMETHING.la
        is good enough (for consistency with *.a handling).

        * tests/demo.test: Break up into demo-conf.test, demo-make.test,
        demo-exec.test, demo-inst.test, and demo-unst.test, so that passes
        and failures are reported more quickly.

        * tests/link-2.test: Test to make sure that .lo files don't get built
        directly into programs.

1996-12-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Accept files ending in .a as standard
        object files.  Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
        Remove support for creating profiled libraries (for now).
        Transform all library objects into standard objects when linking a
        program.

        * ltconfig.in (thisdir): How embarrassing!  An error in the regexp
        for finding the directory component of the script path.

        * tests/tlibtool: A typically-configured libtool script, that uses
        ../ltmain.sh.in for its backend.

        * tests/link.test: Make sure that it is legal to link against .a files.

1996-12-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (compile): Support `.S' (preprocessed assembler)
        files.  Reported by Anthony Green.

        * libtoolize.in: Give clearer instrutions for how to update
        aclocal.m4.

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (link): Add support for creating
        reloadable objects.

1996-12-04  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (install): Fix passing -n flag to `libtool
        --finish'.
        (compile): Compile `.lo' and `.o' objects at the same time so that
        non-PIC objects (if they are available) can be used for linking
        into programs and creating static archives.  Suggested by Ulrich
        Drepper.

1996-12-03  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Give the full path to the libtool library
        when sourcing it.

        * ltconfig.in (old_striplib): Do a configuration test to determine
        if old-style libraries actually can be stripped or not.

1996-12-02  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * tests/demo.test: Try compiling the ../demo subdirectory, with no
        special options.

        * test-e.test: Check that we haven't used `test -e' anywhere in
        our portable shell scripts.

1996-12-02  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Delete reference to ABOUT-LIBS.

        * tests: Added new subdirectory.

        * doc/libtool.texi: Doc fixes, and finished up the Configuring
        chapter.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Allow *._o and *.l_o to be valid object
        file suffixes, for Automake's ansi2knr implementation.
        New option -version-info replaces -version-file.

        [help]: Give a pointer to mode-specific help when appropriate.

        * ltconfig.in: Changed messages to correspond to AM_PROG_CC_STDC.

        * demo: Also test Automake's ansi2knr support.

1996-11-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Bug fixes for AIX 4, and for static platforms.

        * ltmain.sh.in (install): Fix for loops over arguments.
        Need to quote ${IFS= } -> "${IFS= }".
        (link): Fix soname_spec bug.  Create objdir whether or not we have
        shared libraries.

        * ltconfig.in: Check for library stripping program.
        Use test -f instead of test -e.

1996-11-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Don't run the RANLIB test unless RANLIB wasn't
        set.
        Be verbose about the environment variables we were configured
        with.

        * ltmain.sh.in (objdir): change to .libs.

1996-11-16  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (install): Just plunge ahead with the
        installation... don't try to enforce dependencies.

1996-11-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in: Fix up $libdir to be $dest in install mode.

1996-11-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh: Finished rewrite of compile, link, and install
        modes.

        * New ChangeLog file for libtool-0.7, since I've totally rewritten
        libtool.

1996-03-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * For historical reasons: this is when I started writing libtool.
Index: ChangeLog.1997
from  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Don't forget to quote the CDPATH substitution.  From
        Tor Lillqvist.

1997-12-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (CDPATH): Unset this environment variable
        so that HP-UX shells, at least, don't print out the directory name
        after a `cd' command.  From Tor Lillqvist.

1997-12-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * demo/Makefile.am (hardcode): Change a bunch of references to
        `$(LIBS)' to `-lm', since we no longer put -lm in LIBS.

        * demo/configure.in: Delete the test for libm, since it is
        standard on every system.

        * demo/Makefile.am (libhello_la_LDFLAGS): Change to include -lm,
        in accordance with new inter-library dependency code.

        * ltmain.in (dependency_libs): Added to help people link programs
        without having to explicitly specify inter-library dependencies.

        * ltconfig.in (COLLECT_NAMES): Oops... I forgot to apply the AIX 3
        restriction to the generated libtool script.  Reported by Stefan
        Westerfeld.

1997-12-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (thisdir): Quote $echo in the generated libtool
        script for HP-UX.  From Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer.

        * ltmain.in (link): Recognize the `.s' suffix.  From Markus
        F.X.J. Oberhumer.

        * ltconfig.in (link_static_flag): Don't quote ${wl} on HP-UX
        because link_static_flag is never evaled.  From Eric Backus.

        * tests/suffix.test (extensions): Recognize `.s'.  From Markus
        F.X.J. Oberhumer.

1997-12-01  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * demo/Makefile.am (helldl_DEPENDENCIES): Add `libhello.la' to our
        dependencies so that parallel builds work correctly.  From Jim
        Meyering.

        * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig, $(srcdir)/ltmain.sh): Rewrite
        these rules so that they are parallelizable.  Reported by Jim
        Meyering.

        * ltconfig.in (ltecho): We need special handling to quote the
        `echo' variable itself.  From Alexandre Oliva.

1997-11-29  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (COLLECT_NAMES): Enable this workaround for a broken
        collect2 only on AIX 3.  This avoids problems on other AIX
        versions.  Reported by Stefan Westerfeld.

        * ltmain.in, ltconfig.in (finish_eval): Variable like finish_cmds,
        except it is a single command which is evaled, and not shown.

        * ltconfig.in: Port to AmigaOS.  From Joop van de Wege.

        * ltmain.in (echo): Delete preamble to check for a working echo,
        since we just use the one included in the generated libtool.

        * ltconfig.in (echo): Include this definition in the generated
        libtool script.

1997-11-28  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in, libtool.m4 (NM): Add /usr/ccs/bin to the PATH
        before checking.  From Kaveh R. Ghazi.
        (NM): Delete an extraneous egrep from ltconfig.

        * ltconfig.in (finish_cmds): Change back to using `ldconfig -n'.
        This makes Linux behave like other systems, which is more in line
        with what libtool needs.

1997-11-27  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Change a whole bunch of `progname' variables to
        `modename'.  This is for clarity, and to fix a tiny typo in finish
        mode.

        * libtool.spec (Name, Version): Ditto.

        * configure.in (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use PRCS to automatically generate
        the proper package name and version number.

        * ltconfig.in (gnu_ld_acts_native): Treat GNU ld like the native
        linker on SunOS 4.x.  Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.
        (deplibs): Change the defaults all over, since most systems cannot
        handle inter-library dependencies.

        * libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): Only look at the first line of the
        output from NM when determining whether it supports a command line
        option.  This prevents false positives on OSes which ignore
        invalid flags, like HP-UX, which prints `nm: unknown option "B"
        ignored'.  Reported by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * ltconfig.in (finish_cmds): On Linux, update ld.so.cache by
        removing the `-n' flag from ldconfig.  Suggested by Kenneth
        Albanowski.

        * Makefile.am (maintainer-checkin, maintainer-release): New
        commands to reap the full benefit of using PRCS to maintain
        libtool version numbers.

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (global_symbol_pipe): Explicitly cast all
        addresses to __ptr_t.  This fixes a bug due to a strict IRIX
        compiler.  Suggested by Kaveh R. Ghazi.

1997-11-23  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (echo): For aesthetics, avoid using `$echo' when
        `echo' will do *exactly* the same thing.  This prevents ugly
        `printf %s\n timestamp > some.lo' commands from appearing in the
        libtool output.
        (link): Delete the `-allow-undefined' flag because it is now the
        default.  Make `-no-undefined' in order for people to declare that
        a library is entirely self-contained.  This prevents maintainers
        from accidentally creating shared libraries that won't work on
        AIX.  Reported by Stefan Westerfeld and Danny Backx.

        * ltconfig.in (echo): Use an echo variable, just as in ltmain.in,
        because we need it for quoting substitutions.  For most of the
        script, though, use the default echo, just like Autoconf does.
        Without this patch, character \001 ends up in global_symbol_pipe.
        Reported by Lars Hecking and Jürgen Fluk.

        * ltmain.in (echo): Set default to `echo=echo'.  Ooops.  That's
        what you get for testing obscure code paths and forgetting to
        revert to the original version.  Reported by Danny Backx.

1997-11-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Set to `-R' for FreeBSD
        2.2.  From Sean Kelly.
        (postuninstall_cmds, old_postuninstall_cmds): Commands to run
        after uninstall mode deletes the libraries.  Suggested by Joop van
        de Wege.
        (export_dynamic_flag_spec): On HP-UX, add the `${wl}-E'
        export_dynamic_flag_spec.  Reported by Matthias Hoelzer.

1997-11-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (sed_quote_subst): Oops.  We forgot to
        quote backticks.  Reported by Joop van de Wege.

        * tests/quote.test: Add backticks to the backslashify test.

1997-11-09  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (symcode): On IRIX, don't extract undefined
        symbols.  When a function is inlined by G++, references to it are
        still marked as undefined in the object file.  This means that our
        symbol file causes undefined references, because there are
        actually no matching global symbols.  Reported by Paul Kendall.

1997-11-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Don't forget to redirect the COLLECT_NAMES libtool
        script fragment to the generated libtool, rather than to stdout.

1997-11-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (LD): Add a more sophisticated test to determine the
        ABI flag on IRIX 6.  Suggested by Lars Hecking and Ian Lance
        Taylor.

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (COLLECT_NAMES): Only export this
        variable if we are running under AIX.  Otherwise, we tickle a g++
        bug under IRIX.  From Paul Kendall.

        * Change bug reporting address to <address@hidden>.

        * ltconfig.in (allow_undefined_flag): OSF/1 3.x also requires a
        wildcard argument to `-expect_unresolved'.  From Stephan Kulow.

1997-11-06  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (link): Use libname_spec.

        * ltconfig.in (pic_flag): Somehow, the HP-UX pic_flag (`+Z') was
        dropped between libtool-1.0 and now.  Add it back in.  Reported by
        Akim Demaille.
        Integrated more patches for OS/2.  From Jeff Freedman.
        (libname_spec): New variable for OSes that don't require their
        libraries to look like `libNAME.a'.

        * ltmain.in (link): Only use global_symbol_pipe if it has been
        defined.  From Stephan Kulow.

        * ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): Protect C fragment under C++
        compilers.  From Stephan Kulow.

        * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/acinclude.m4,
        $(srcdir)/demo/acinclude.m4): Change rules to use LN_S so that
        they can be run on any system.

        * ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): For NetBSD, don't include deplibs.
        From Dieter Baron.

        * ltmain.in (mkdir): Check that the directory doesn't exist before
        we exit with error, so that we don't get races during parallel
        builds.  From H.J. Lu.
        (fbsd_hideous_sh_bug): Apparently, some FreeBSD /bin/sh's have a
        bug that will empty base_compile unless we do this dummy
        assignment.  From Marc van Kempen.

1997-10-22  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (libtool_shared, libtool_static): Fixed logic error
        to reenable override of libtool's defaults by setting
        enable_shared or enable_static in configure.in.  Reported by Tom
        Tromey and Stephan Kulow.

        * ltmain.in (link): Add explicit support for compiler options that
        begin with `+'.  Reported by Aubert Pierre.

1997-10-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Silly me.  Change a bunch of occurances of "* $dir *"
        into *" $dir "*.

        * ltconfig.in (pic_flag): PIC is the default for AIX.  From Mark
        Kettenis.  It is also the default for OSF/1.

        * demo/Makefile.am (objdir): Quote double-quotes.  From Mark
        Kettenis.

        * ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): This variable is not
        double-evaled, so it should not be double quoted.  From Mark
        Kettenis.

1997-10-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (LD): Same as below.

        * libtool.m4 (LD): Set LD if we discover an absolute path to GNU
        ld.  This prevents breakage when `$CC -print-prog-name=ld' returns
        an absolute directory name.  Reported by Ulrich Drepper.

        * ltconfig.in: Port to OS/2 using EMX.  From Jeff Freedman.

        * ltmain.in (link): Use old_archive_from_new_cmds.

        * ltconfig.in (old_archive_from_new_cmds): New variable to
        support DLL libraries.

        * ltmain.in (link): Only `eval' export_dynamic_flag_spec if it is
        not empty.  Reported by Stephan Kulow.

1997-10-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (objdir): Use the .libs directory on all systems for
        which that name is valid, and _libs on the others (like MS-DOS).
        Suggested by Juergen Erhard.

1997-10-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (link): Added a bit more inter-language support to the
        symbol file generation process.
        Instead of complaining about unrecognized argument suffices, pass
        them to the linker.  This prevents libtool from barfing on
        mandatory arguments to linker flags.  Reported by Michael
        Tiemann.

1997-10-09  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (link): Change the wrapper script to follow symlinks
        in order to find thisdir.  This should put the final nail in the
        coffin for problems with wrapper scripts.  From Ian Lance Taylor.

1997-10-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Change a few `$echo' commands into `$show' to make
        --silent mode behave as advertised.

        * ltconfig.in (allow_undefined_flag): On OSF/1 4.x, use
        `-expect_unresolved \*'.  From Christian Mondrup.

        * ltmain.in (install): Change install mode to allow a specified
        /bin/sh argument at the beginning of the install_prog.  Also,
        specify the shell to run when invoking libtool recursively for
        finish mode.  From Chris Provenzano.

        * libtool.m4 (LIBTOOL): Change definition to include $(SHELL).
        From Chris Provenzano.

        * ltconfig.in: Port to UTS 4.x.  From Alistair Crooks.

        * demo/Makefile.am (hc-libflag): Add rules to make this binary for
        hardcode.test.

        * tests/hardcode.test (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Check the hardcoding
        properties of the flag_spec, too.

1997-09-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (LD): As with libtool.m4, don't override LD.
        Do a whole bunch of ac_t quoting.

1997-09-24  Ian Lance Taylor  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LD): Don't override LD in the environment.

1997-09-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): Arguments to the for loop must be
        whitespace separated.  This fixes a bug under FreeBSD's /bin/sh.
        From George Scott.

        * tests/defs, tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Change =inst to
        _inst to fix portability on MS-DOS.  From Robert Hoehne.

1997-09-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (deplibs): When building shared libraries, always add
        -lc to deplibs.  Reported by Andreas Jellinghaus.

1997-09-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (COLLECT_NAMES): If the COLLECT_NAMES
        environment variable has not been set, set it to empty.  This
        apparently fixes the AIX bug with GCC's collect2.  Reported by
        Mark Kettenis.

        * demo/Makefile.am, ltmain.in, tests/hardcode.test (objdir):
        Changed objdir variable .libs to _libs.  This is another MS-DOS
        portability fix.  Suggested by Robert Hoehne.

        * tests/hardcode.test (objdir): New variable to simplify change from
        .libs to _libs (MS-DOS portability fix).

1997-09-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (hardcode_minusL): Fix typo by renaming
        hardcode_minusL to hardcode_minus_L.  Also add FreeBSD
        hardcode_libdir_flag_spec. From Paul Traina.

        * ltmain.in (link): Honour multiple `-rpath' flags when linking
        programs.  Suggested by Bengt Martensson.
        Quote appearances of $echo in the wrapper script.  From Alexandre
        Oliva.

        * Makefile.am, configure.in, tests/tlibtool: Use ltmain.in instead
        of ltmain.sh.in.

        * ltmain.in: Rename ltmain.sh.in to ltmain.in.  This fixes a
        portability problem (on MS-DOS, of all places!).  From Robert
        Hoehne.

1997-09-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Do not transform libtool objects to regular
        objects if we did not build old libs.  Reported by Tomas Hiller.

1997-09-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * demo/Makefile.am (hell_debug_LDFLAGS): Change hell.static to
        hell.debug in order to reflect the new static linking semantics.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Add new `-all-static' flag to prevent all
        dynamic linking.  The old `-static' flag just prevents dynamic
        linking against libtool libraries.  Suggested by Bengt
        Martensson.

        * ltconfig.in (with_gnu_ld): Add a test to make sure that we are
        actually using GNU ld.  This fixes an inconsistency when running
        ltconfig without using libtool.m4.  Reported by Ulrich Drepper.
        (global_symbol_pipe): Delete symbols that are not valid C
        identifiers.  Reported by Johan Danielsson and Bengt Martensson.

        * tests/demo-exec.test, tests/demo-inst.test: Change references from
        hell.static to hell.debug.

        * tests/quote.test (echo): Add the same Digital Unix echo test fixes as
        the ones to ltmain.sh.in from Todd Kover.

        * tests/if.test, tests/test-e.test (scripts): Add ../lineno to
        the scripts we check.
        * tests/if.test: Check for accidental use of test X$something rather
        than test "X$something".

1997-09-04  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (echo): Quote all the uses of `echo' in all eval
        statements.  Reported by Bengt Martensson and Alexandre Oliva.
        (echo): Need to surround test args with double quotes, or the echo
        test fails on Digital Unix 4.0.  From Todd Kover.

1997-08-28  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (echo): Change test to one that uses printf.
        This works on AIX, which has the same problems that Solaris does,
        but no working echo program.

        * tests/quote.test (echo): Change test to version that uses printf.
        Be less strict about return results.

1997-08-27  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Make sure that compile_command and
        finalize_command are always evaled.  Quote any unknown linker
        flags we need to pass through.
        (compile): Use quoting for flags we pass.
        (echo): I hate Sun!  The /usr/bin/echo on Solaris handles
        backslash sequences, which makes it impossible to do backslash
        quoting using echo and sed.  So, we search for an echo that obeys
        the `echo '\t'` = '\t' equality.  Then we use `$echo' everywhere
        in ltmain.sh.
        Put tabs back into the ${IFS=   } sequences.  Emacs untabify is
        libtool bane.

        * ltconfig.in: Quote all variable values that may contain
        metacharacters creating the libtool script.  This provides
        complete protection, so that even single-quotes may appear inside
        a libtool variable value.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Quote finalize_command before putting it in
        the wrapper script.

        * tests/quote.test (echo): Add the test for a non-backslash-mangling
        echo.

1997-08-26  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (sed_quote_subst): Change the quoting procedure
        again.  I think that the new one is robust for *all* characters,
        including whitespace and metacharacters.

        * tests/quote.test: New torture test for libtool metacharacter quoting.

1997-08-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in: Change quoting procedure because some shells
        cannot handle `]' in scan sets.  From Ian Dall.

1997-08-22  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (execute): Added -dlopen flag handling.  Suggested
        by Alexandre Oliva.

1997-08-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Change executable wrapper to fix up value
        of thisdir, as well as progdir, if the $0 path doesn't work.  This
        guarantees that shlibpath_var is set correctly.  Add support for
        execute mode.

        * ltmain.sh.in (execute): New mode to automatically set
        shlibpath_var, which allows easy debugging of uninstalled
        executables and libraries.  Suggested by Kenneth Albanowski.

1997-08-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig): Use lineno.

        * configure.in: Add AM_PROG_AWK for lineno.

        * lineno: New program to automatically put line numbers in
        ltconfig.

        * libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (AM_PROG_LD): Yet Another Rewrite, which
        incorporates the results of `gcc -print-program-name=ld'.
        Suggested by Alexandre Oliva.

1997-08-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in: Accept `--quiet' and `--silent' flags to turn off
        command echoing.  From Juergen A. Erhard.

        (compile): Recognize the Objective C `.m' extension.  From Juergen
        A. Erhard.

        (compile): Suppress error output from the second compilation (if
        any) so that we don't get those frustrating duplicate error
        messages.

        * tests/suffix.test (extensions): Added Objective C extension, `.m'.

1997-08-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Added messages to config.log to describe what sort
        of test we are running.
        (pic_flag): Added a sanity check for pic_flag.  This should fix
        bugs reported using the cc bundled with HP-UX 10.  Suggested by
        Bruno Haible and Akim Demaille.

1997-08-01  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Add -dlopen and -dlpreopen support for
        libtool objects.  This means that dlopened modules no longer need
        to be shared libraries.

        * ltconfig.in (pic_flag): GCC on IRIX 6 always builds PIC.
        Reported by Ian Lance Taylor.

        * libtool.m4 (LD): Always add `-n32' to the linker if we are using
        GCC on IRIX 6.  Reported by Ian Lance Taylor.

1997-07-30  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Explicitly check enable_shared and
        enable_static rather than just enableval.  This allows
        configure.in scripts to set their own defaults.  Suggested by
        Tommy Reilly.

1997-07-29  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in: Add NLS environment variable handling copied from
        ltconfig.in.  Reported by Akim Demaille.
        (link): If allow_undefined_flag is not supported, then turn on old
        libraries.  Reported by Akim Demaille.

        * demo/dlmain.c (main): Use dld_preloaded_symbol_count to display
        a message about the sortedness of the symbol table.

        * ltconfig.in (nlist): Use an nlist convenience variable, so that
        code can be shared directly with ltmain.sh.in.

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (dld_preloaded_symbol_count): Count up
        the number of symbols in the dld_preloaded_symbols.  Set to `-1'
        if the list wasn't both sorted and counted.  This allows
        applications to do a quick binary search, if they are so inclined.

1997-07-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Remove code for `-version-file', since it
        has been long-deprecated.

        Disable static linking if hardcode_direct is unsupported and there
        is no working link_static_flag.  This provides correct behaviour
        for all cases on AIX 3, regardless of whether collect2 is broken
        or not.  Reported by Mark Kettenis.

        * ltconfig.in: Fix typo in test polarity.  From Mark Kettenis.

1997-07-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (hardcode_direct): Set to `unsupported' if aix3 uses
        a broken collect2.  Adapted out of test results from Mark
        Kettenis.
        (link_static_flag): Make sure the link_static_flag actually works
        with a trivial binary.

        * ltmain.sh.in, ltconfig.in (export_dynamic_flag_spec): Renamed
        from export_dynamic_flag because we eval it in ltmain.sh.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link_static): Don't eval link_static_flag.

        * demo/dlmain.c (main): Change function prototype to be KNR
        compatible.  From Kaveh R. Ghazi.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Use no_builtin_flag.  This works around
        conflicting definitions of builtin functions with at least GCC.
        Reported by Kazuhiro Sasayama.

        * ltconfig.in (no_builtin_flag): New flag to turn off builtin
        functions when compiling an object file.
        (pipe_works): Use it.

        * tests/demo-exec.test (status): Use status variables so that we try to
        execute all the programs.

1997-07-23  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (pic_flag): According to the libg++ 2.7.2 configure
        script, DEC alpha CPUs are PIC-only, as well.  Reported by Kevin
        Jacobs.

1997-07-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in: Replace all occurances of "sed 'X;
        Y'" with "sed -e 'X' -e 'Y'".

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Finish full integration for `-dlopen' and
        `-dlpreopen'.

        Fix two silly typos where I used a compile_command in place of a
        finalize_command, and vice versa.

        Change the wrapper script to check a hardcoded path only if the
        argv[0] method fails.  This is a compromise for the previous two
        patches, and should solve the majority of problems with wrapper
        scripts.  From Kenneth Albanowski.

        (link): Change a reference to hardcode_libdir_colon_separated to
        use the new hardcode_libdir_separator variable.

        * demo/Makefile.am (helldl_LDFLAGS): Add `-export-dynamic' and
        `-dlpreopen' for building helldl.

        * demo/dlmain.c (main): Succeed, even if none of the libhello
        symbols have been preloaded.

1997-07-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): Add `U' to the accepted global
        symbol types.  This means that we will get duplicate symbols, but
        we'll also be sure to get all global symbols used by the program.

        * ltconfig.in (pipe_works), ltmain.sh.in (link): Sort and make
        symbol output unique.

1997-07-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (pipe_works): Check to make sure our guessed
        global_symbol_pipe actually works.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Revert change from Kenneth Albanowski.  The
        wrapper scripts are more reliable when they just use the argv[0]
        value.  Generally, when the argv[0] method doesn't work, the user
        is trying to do something weird with an uninstalled binary, and
        should try a different approach.

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (CC): Always use `$CC' instead of
        `$cc'.  This fixes a FreeBSD bug.  Reported by Chuck Robey, and
        others.

1997-07-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): In wrapper scripts, hardcode the current
        directory to prevent phony argv[0] values from screwing up our
        program.  From Kenneth Albanowski.

1997-07-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (demo_distfiles): Add demo/dlmain.c to the
        distribution.

1997-07-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * demo/Makefile.am: Add helldl, made from dlmain.c, to demostrate
        `-dlopen' usage.

        * demo/dlmain.c: New file to demonstrate preloaded modules.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Add `-dlopen' flag to preload dynamic
        modules, even on static platforms.  Use `$NM' and
        `$global_symbol_cmd' to extract symbols from required files.
        (dlname): Delete dlname mode entirely.  It is rendered obsolete
        because the `.la' file format is now a public interface.

        * ltconfig.in (NM): New variable for BSD-compatible nm program.
        (global_symbol_cmd): Pipeline to extract global symbols from the
        nm output.

        * ltmain.sh.in: The .la file header should depend on `ltmain.sh',
        not `$PROGRAM'.
        (link): Make sure $export_dynamic_flag is eval'ed before it is
        used.

        * tests/demo-exec.test, tests/demo-inst.test: Check the new
        helldl program, too.

1997-07-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.spec: New Red Hat Package Manager specification file in
        order to help people prepare distributions of libtool for Linux.

        * ltmain.sh.in: Eliminate two accidental uses of the NONE magic
        value.  These were breaking libtool's behaviour when no mode is
        specified.

        * tests/nomode.test: New test to make sure there is correct behaviour
        when we don't specify a mode.

1997-07-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Release 1.0.

        * ltconfig.in: On SunOS, append /usr/etc to the PATH before
        running ldconfig; on *BSD, append /sbin.  This was done in line
        with the Linux change suggested by Kenneth Albanowski.

        * demo/Makefile.am (hardcode_tests): Aesthetic change to
        alphabetize order of compiling the hardcode tests.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Delete README-automake.

        * README-automake: Remove from distribution.

1997-07-02  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): In the executable wrapper, strip trailing
        colons from the shlibpath_var because some ld.so's, notably
        OpenBSD 2.0's (!), don't parse colon-terminated values correctly.
        From Tim Pierce.

1997-07-01  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in, ltconfig.in: Eliminate uses of the NONE magic
        variable value.  Use an empty variable instead.

        * ltconfig.in (with_gcc, with_gnu_ld): Do the tests for the C
        compiler and linker if the variables are unset, or if they are not
        GNU C and ld.
        (RANLIB): Eliminate redundant `if' statement.

        * configure.in: Use AM_PROG_LD.

        * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LD_GNU): New macro to determine if LD is GNU
        ld.
        (AM_PROG_LD): Rename AM_PATH_PROG_LD to AM_PROG_LD.  Parameterize
        so that the user can specify `--with-gnu-ld' or `--without-gnu-ld'
        to indicate his preference.
        (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Use it.

1997-06-30  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Append /sbin to the path before running ldconfig on
        Linux.  This helps superusers who haven't set their PATH
        correctly.  Suggested by Kenneth Albanowski.

        * tests/if.test: New test to make sure that we haven't forgotten to
        follow an `if' statement with a `test' command.  This should avoid
        the majority of hard-to-track bugs.

1997-06-29  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in: Change all the `eval "$run ..."' sequences to
        `$run "eval ..."'.

        Change all `$ln_s ...' sequences to use `(cd /dir && $LN_S ...)'.
        This is the sequence recommended by the Autoconf manual, and
        should avoid any problems on older machines.  Eliminate all uses
        of `cp -p'.  Reported by Akim Demaille.

        (install): Use `test $# -gt 0' instead of `test -n "$1"'.

        * ltconfig.in (LN_S): Add test to see if `ln -s' works.

        * libtool.m4: Increment serial number, and require AC_PROG_LN_S.

1997-06-26  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Add missing `test' statement.  Reported by
        Akim Demaille.

1997-06-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (LD): Consistently use ac_cv_path_ld instead of
        am_cv_path_ld.  From Tim Pierce.

1997-06-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in: Redo two robustness fixes.  Alexandre had the
        correct approach, but I botched them.

        * ltconfig.in (dynamic_linker): Disable shared libraries on
        MkLinux unless GNU libc is in use.  Reported by Akim Demaille.

1997-06-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (install): Add a missing `test' command.  Reported
        by Joel Weber.
        Miscellaneous fixes to improve robustness.  From Alexandre Oliva.

        * tests/demo-conf.test (CONFIG_SITE): Set to /dev/null, so that the
        config.site file doesn't mess up our prefix.  Reported by Joel
        Weber.

        * tests/demo-inst.test: Always run both hell.static and hell.

        * tests/demo-conf.test: Always remove the local config.cache, but run
        `make distclean' only if the Makefile exists.  Otherwise, the demo
        directory is not cleaned up if a user uses their own config.cache.
        Reported by Joel Weber.

1997-06-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Create invalid libtool objects when partial
        linking if we don't have PIC.  From Jeff Dairiki.
        (install): Fix bug if libtool object is installed to a file name
        without directory components.  From Jeff Dairiki.

1997-06-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (demo/configure): Fix up rules to run autoconf.
        (aclocal.m4): Now we depend on our own libtool.m4.

        * configure.in (AM_PATH_PROG_LD): Use it.

        * libtool.m4 (AM_PATH_PROG_LD): New macro to find the linker used
        by the C compiler.
        (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Use it.

        * ltmain.sh.in (install, uninstall): Support installing and
        uninstalling `.lo' files.  From Jeff Dairiki.

1997-06-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): Only move if $(srcdir) is not
        the current directory.  Don't regenerate every time the package is
        reconfigured.  Reported by Tom Tromey.
        (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Added ltconfig, ltmain.sh, so that
        $(srcdir) is not messed with during a regular clean.

1997-06-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): Be sure to move these files
        into $(srcdir) once they are created.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Disable building static libraries.
        People should use their favourite AR and RANLIB commands.
        Disable building old-style objects if `--disable-static' is
        given.  Suggested by Tom Lees and Stephan Kulow.

1997-06-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (host_cpu, host_vendor, host_os): Patch up
        definitions, to allow for the fact that the host_os may contain
        hyphens (as in linux-gnu).  From Scott Goehring.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Move the `dlname' setting closer to the top
        of the file.  Suggested by David Mosberger-Tang.
        Symlink the libtool archive into the `.libs' directory so that it
        can be found by programs that want to find a library's dlname by
        searching LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Reported by David Mosberger-Tang.

1997-06-06  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Tell people to report bugs to the new libtool mailing list,
        <address@hidden>.

1997-06-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (allow_undefined_flag): New variable that implements
        `-allow-undefined'.
        (archive_cmds): Enable C++ constructors for FreeBSD 2.2.  From
        David Nugent.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Accept new `-allow-undefined' flag when
        building libtool libraries.  This tells libtool to allow
        unresolved symbols to exist in shared libraries.  Basically, this
        turns off shared libraries on AIX.  Suggested by Ian Lance Taylor.

1997-05-26  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (LD): On at least IRIX, many different flags need to
        be propagated to the linker if they are part of the compiler
        command line.  Reported by Anthony Green.

1997-05-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Trivial port to FreeBSD 3.  From David Nugent.

1997-04-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Remove all traces of `-whole-archive',
        `-no-whole-archive', and libtool convenience libraries.  They were
        more trouble than they're worth.  If these are ever reimplemented,
        they need more careful attention to make portable.

        * libtool.m4, ltconfig.in: Added a `--disable-static' flag to turn
        off static library creation.  From Tom Lees (who finally convinced
        me that it was the Right Thing to do).

1997-04-22  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_runpath_var, runpath_var): Use them, if
        the linker has no -rpath flag.
        Quote the values we use to set runpath_var and shlibpath_var.
        (link): Use libobjlibs for libtool convenience libraries.

        * ltconfig.in (hardcode_runpath_var, runpath_var): Add new
        variables to describe linkers that honour `LD_RUN_PATH'.
        (host_cpu, host_os): Use these more specific variables, rather
        than the full canonical host system name.

        * ltmain.sh.in (dlname): Distinguish between missing
        `-export-dynamic' and when the library is only statically linked.

1997-04-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Trivial port to OpenBSD by making it an alias for
        NetBSD.  From Tim Pierce.

1997-04-16  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Temporary measures to check for a broken collect2
        program.  Right now, we just see if we're using GCC on AIX 3.

        * tests/hardcode.test: AIX also has arbitrary limits on the line length
        of input to fgrep(1), so we need to translate NUL characters to
        newlines in order to properly detect embedded `.libs'.  From Bruno
        Haible.
        Also redirect stderr to /dev/null, so that AIX users don't get
        worried by `fgrep: Maximum line length of 2048 exceeded.'.

1997-04-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (mode): Use `egrep -e' when inferring the operation
        mode.

1997-04-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (linker): Some GNU ld's don't accept `--version',
        but do accept `-v'.  From Jukka Honkela.
        (ld_shlibs): AIX lossage may be settling down.  AIX 3.2.5 ld does
        *not* hardcode direct libraries, but AIX 4.1.[45] ld does.

1997-04-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (hardcode_action): Fix silly logic error.  From
        Bruno Haible.

1997-04-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (install): Relink if hardcode_action is `relink',
        rather than using complex conditionals based on the other
        hardcode variables.

        * ltconfig.in (hardcode_action): Set to `relink', not `immediate',
        if we can only hardcode existing directories.  Rearrange
        conditionals to make the intent clearer, otherwise this can be one
        hellish piece of code for the already-dizzy libtool maintainer.

1997-04-02  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * replfunc.m4: Delete from the distribution.  Documentation now
        describes how to set LTALLOCA and LTLIBOBJS in your own
        configure.in.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Make sure a libtool library only counts as
        a shared library if its library_names are non-null.
        Use timestamps for .lo's when PIC is turned off, rather than
        symlinking to the real object.  This helps invalid mixtures of PIC
        and non-PIC to fail.

1997-04-01  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute libtool.prj.

        * Shameless plug: Changed source code management system from CVS
        to PRCS.

        * libtool.scm: Initial Guile implementation of libtool.

        * ltmain.sh.in: An unexpected inconsistency in my whole approach
        to shared libraries has proven that libtool needs to be completely
        rewritten if I'm going to give full shared library support for
        platforms that don't use the GNU C library version 2 (which to my
        knowledge currently only works on GNU Hurd and Linux/GNU systems).
        Porting the GNU C library should not be difficult, though.

        Platforms that don't have the dlopen(3) family of functions will
        need to install GNU DLD version 4 in order to build any kind of
        libraries at all.  Unfortunately, DLD 4 won't be released for a
        while, because I maintain it, and I'm too busy working on libtool.

        I'll keep the old ltconfig/ltmain.sh implementation around for as
        long as I can, and continue applying bug fixes, so that I'll have
        a reasonable starting point for this new libtool implementation.

        It looks like this implementation will be even more complex than
        the original (pre-0.7) libtool.  Initial estimates show that it
        may be up to 3 times slower, and 5 times larger than libtool-0.9.
        I'll probably have to rewrite it in Guile to get reasonable
        performance, which will severely limit its portability for a
        while.

        That will also introduce a bootstrapping issue, since the next
        release of Guile will use libtool to build shared libraries.  So,
        if users want to have shared Guile libraries, they will have to
        configure Guile with `--disable-shared', compile it, install it,
        then reconfigure Guile with `--enable-shared' and repeat.

        I was hoping to get libtool 1.0 out the door by early April, but
        now it looks like it will take at least another year before it'll
        be usable by the public at large.  April fools.  libtool.scm
        doesn't exist yet, either.

        * ltconfig.in (verify_host): Remove redundant `Transform *-*-linux*
        to *-*-linux-gnu*'.  From Bruno Haible.

        * tests/hardcode.test: AIX 3 doesn't have strings(1) so we need to do a
        funny tr and pipe the output to fgrep.  From Bruno Haible.

1997-03-31  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am: Use the new AUTOMAKE and ACLOCAL variables.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Only fail if a convenience library doesn't
        exist, and the user specified -whole-archive.
        Fix shell quoting that was breaking @OUTPUT@ substitution.

1997-03-28  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Use the hardcode_libdir_separator.
        Convenience libraries are libtool objects if we're not building
        libtool libs.

        * ltconfig.in (hardcode_libdir_separator): Added in case the
        linker only honours the last of the -rpath flags (but it can
        contain multiple colon-separated directories), such as on OSF/1.
        Reported by Carl D. Roth.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Set the dlname if -export-dynamic is given.
        (install, uninstall): Handle the dlname file separately.

        * ltconfig.in (export_dynamic_flag): Added to allow programs to
        use reflexive dlopens.

        * ltmain.sh.in: Include the mode name in any help messages.
        (dlname): New mode to give the name to be used with dlopen(3).

        * ltconfig.in (AR): Allow AR to be set by the user, and export it
        to ltmain.sh.

        * ltmain.sh.in: Remove broken profiled library support.
        Added `-whole-archive' and `-no-whole-archive' to manipulate
        convenience libraries.

1997-03-27  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Allow the creation of static convenience
        libraries made of libtool objects.  Suggested by David
        Mosberger-Tang.

1997-03-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: On AIX, libtool also needs to look for `B' symbols
        in nm output.  These are global variable definitions.

        * ltmain.sh.in: Linking with -static should link against the
        linklib if old_library is empty (like it is on AIX).

        * ltconfig.in: Change the order of OS detection, so that
        linux-gnu* is detected before gnu*.

        * Makefile.am (libtool): Use the correct CC, RANLIB, LD, when
        generating libtool.  From Carl D. Roth.

        * configure.in: Find out the user-supplied CC, LD, RANLIB.  From
        Carl D. Roth.

1997-03-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in: Linking with -static should link against the old
        library, not linklib.

        * README-automake: Updated to point to Automake 1.1m.

1997-03-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * demo/main.c: Use it.

        * demo/foo.h: Declare it.

        * demo/foo.c: Added definition of `nothing' so that we have an
        global variable definition, as well as functions.

1997-03-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Make sure either enable_shared or enable_static is
        configured.  Reported by Tom Tromey.

        * ltmain.sh.in: Bomb out if no library types are configured.

1997-02-22  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec): Renamed
        from `hardcode_libdir_flag'.
        (library_names_spec): Renamed from `lib_names'.

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_action): Change value from
        `rpath' to `immediate'.

        * replfunc.m4: Add AM_FUNC_ALLOCA, AM_FUNC_MEMCMP, and
        AM_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS.

1997-02-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Transform *-*-linux* to *-*-linux-gnu* to support
        old-style config.guess scripts.

1997-02-17  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in: Create objdir *before* linking a program into it.

1997-02-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Any ld --version that returns GNU is probably a GNU
        ld.  From Marcus Daniels.

        * libtool.m4: Added AM_REPLACE_FUNCS.

1997-02-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Trivial port to *-*-osf4.  From Bruno Haible.

1997-02-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: AIX 3 and 4 ld only hardcodes LIBPATH if -L is not
        specified.  This behaviour is the same with both xlc and gcc.

1997-02-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * doc/platforms.texi: Yaay!  We found a workaround for HP-UX
        /bin/sh buffer overflows.  From Eric Backus.

1997-02-03  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Release 0.9.

        * PLATFORMS, doc/platforms.texi, Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am:
        Move PLATFORMS to doc/platforms.texi.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Use hardcode_libdir_flag to get a library
        directory into the resulting binary.
        Use hardcode_action, and make many simplifying changes to have
        compilation and finalization be consistent with each other.

        * ltconfig.in: Not so amazing!  It's AIX cc that hardcodes direct
        libraries... gcc doesn't, though.
        (link_rpath_flag): Change link_rpath_flag to be
        hardcode_libdir_flag.
        (hardcode_action): New variable to simplify ltmain.sh.

        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Do the full make sequence with
        --disable-shared, then without.

        * tests/demo-sttc.test: Configure the demo directory with
        --disable-shared.

1997-01-29  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in: Change to take advantage of linkers that don't
        hardcode direct libraries.

        * ltconfig.in: Amazing!  AIX 3 linker doesn't hardcode direct
        libraries, which makes it less buggy than AIX 4.  Reported by Mark
        Kettenis.

        * demo/configure.in: Check for the math library.

        * demo/foo.c (foo): Change to use the `cos' function, so that we
        need to link against another library.

        * tests/hardcode.test: Rewrite to use fgrep on output from ``strings
        -a'' if using fgrep directly on the binary files fails.  From Mark
        Kettenis.

1997-01-28  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Export the PATH variable in order to find
        the program, rather than giving a full path.  This helps give the
        program a less confusing value for argv[0].

        * tests/hardcode.test: Make sure that ../demo/libhello.la really is a
        shared library before running hardcoding tests.

1997-01-26  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Release 0.8.

1997-01-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (demo_distfiles): Add demo/acinclude.m4 to the
        distribution.

1997-01-22  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: For IRIX 6, ld needs -n32 if cc uses it.  Reported
        by Bruno Haible.

        * ltconfig.in: IRIX ld does not hardcode direct libraries.
        Reported by Bruno Haible.

1997-01-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.sh.in (hardcode_shlibpath_var): Allow new
        value, `unsupported', since most linkers do not allow you to use
        shlibpath_var for initial linking.

        * ltconfig.in: Lots of bug fixes from Bruno Haible.  Set wl on
        OSF/1, fix definitions of hardcode_* variables.
        (archive_cmds): Fix not to use +h on HP-UX 9.x.  Reported by Bruno
        Haible.

        * tests/demo-conf.test: Use the CONFIG_SHELL environment variable when
        running configure in the demo directory.  From Bruno Haible.

        * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): Make distclean in the demo directory,
        so that ``make clean; env CC=cc make check'' works as one would
        expect.

        * tests/demo-make.test: Fix typo (use $make instead of make).  Reported
        by Akim Demaille.

1997-01-17  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtoolize.in: Handle explicit AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR settings.
        Suggested by Akim Demaille.

        * libtool.m4: Change ltconfig line to use $CONFIG_SHELL when it is
        specified.  Reported by Bruno Haible.

1997-01-16  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * demo/Makefile.am (hc-direct): Do better searching for the proper
        name to do a direct link.
        (hc-libpath): Make allowances if shlibpath_var cannot be used
        to find libraries at link time, such as on AIX.

        * Makefile.am (demo_distfiles): Remove ansi2knr.1 and ansi2knr.c.

        * demo/foo.c, demo/hello.c, demo/main.c: Change ANSI prototypes to
        KNR form, for better portability, and less ansi2knr hair.

        * demo/configure.in: Remove AM_FUNC_PROTOTYPES.

        * demo/Makefile.am: Remove ansi2knr from the AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.

        * demo/ansi2knr.1, demo/ansi2knr.c: Removed these files.

        * ltmain.sh.in: Use 1>&2 consistently to direct errors and
        warnings to stderr.
        (compile): Fix missing single quote.

        * ltconfig.in (hardcode_direct): On Solaris at least, using
        DIR/libNAME.so does not hardcode DIR, so introduce a new hardcode
        variable to reflect that.

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): If linking with $link_static_flag fails,
        then retry without it, but still use the .a versions of
        uninstalled libtool archives.

        * tests/tlibtool: Rewrote to grab all the settings from the generated
        libtool script.

        * tests/hardcode.test: Make allowances if shlibpath_var cannot be used
        to find libraries at link time, such as on AIX.

1997-01-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): Eval $link_static_flag.  Reported by Bruno
        Haible.

        * PLATFORMS: Add to distribution.  Suggested by Bruno Haible.

1997-01-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * tests/demo-conf.test, tests/demo-inst.test, tests/demo-unst.test,
        tests/hardcode.test:
        Use $make instead of make.

        * tests/defs (make): Add definition of $make that uses the $MAKE
        environment variable, if set.  Suggested by Bruno Haible.

        * tests/demo-unst.test (leftovers): Change the find command to ignore
        files beginning with a dot, as egrep -v doesn't seem to do the
        trick.  Reported by Bruno Haible.

1997-01-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Add support for SCO OpenServer 5.x.  From
        Christopher Olsen.

        (can_build_shared): Initialize at the top of the file, so that
        shared libraries aren't built on platforms that don't support
        them.

        * tests/hardcode.test: Added a test to make sure that libtool's idea of
        hardcoding system linkers is correct.

1997-01-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in, ltconfig.in, libtoolize.in, doc/libtool.texi:
        Update the copyright completion years.

1997-01-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Port to IRIX 5.3, 6.2.

1997-01-06  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: HP-UX 9 support is the same as HP-UX 10, so the
        port is trivial.

        * libtoolize.in: Add --dry-run option, -n for short.

1997-01-03  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (link): On at least SunOS, /bin/sh doesn't
        understand "export something=val".  From Bruno Haible.

        * tests/Makefile.am (distclean-local): Remove all files that the tests
        may have created.  Reported by Bruno Haible.

        * For all tests, discover srcdir when running from the command
        line.

        * tests/demo-unst.test: Don't fail if make uninstall doesn't delete
        files beginning with a dot, since spurious .nfsXXX files may be
        present when running NFS.  Reported by Bruno Haible.

1997-01-02  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh.in (compile): Recognize valid source file suffixes for
        Fortran and C++.

        * tests/suffix.test: New test to guarantee that libtool compile
        recognizes valid source file suffices.

        -enable-install and -enable-dlpreopen are enabled
        * libltdl/configure.in: libltdl is version 0.1, not 1.0,
        renamed -enable-ltdl-install to -enable-install,
        conditionals for libltdls, check for strchr and index,
        replaced NULL with 0
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: replaced NULL with 0, dlpreopen only if
        USE_DLPREOPEN was defined, integrated shl_load code from GModule
        (still untested)

1998-12-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/configure.in: fixup spacing in --enable-ltdl-install
        help string so that it lines up nicely for configure --help.

        * ltmain.in (dllsearchpath): keep track of what the dll search path
        will need to be in the wrapper scripts as deplibs are calculated.
        Make sure the wrapper script doesn't end in `.exr', which makes
        win32 try to execute it as a binary!
        Add the contents of dllsearchpath to $PATH in the wrapper script.
        Use the relative path to the wrapped program so that the dll
        search path is calculated properly by win32 OSes.
        * TODO: removed the item for making wrapper scripts work on win32.

        * TODO: removed the reference to making libltdl and demo work on
        win32.  They *do* work now that wrapper scripts are functioning.

        * ltmain.in (file_magic_command): It turns out that if the
        file_magic_command generates huge output (e.g. running `objdump
        -f' over a large import lib [say libX11.a]) the expr to check it
        against the file_magic_regex blows up.  There is now an optimistic
        heuristic, to save only the first 10 lines of running
        file_magic_command which (at risk of sounding like Bill) should be
        enough for anyone =)O|.

        * ltmain.in: Set the compile_dependencylibs and dllsearchpath for
        non-libtool libs, or else libdeps only works between ltlibs for
        cygwin32.

1998-12-23  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (SP2NL, NL2SP): use `tr' magic to avoid passing very
        long lines to sed
        * doc/libtool.texi (sed): very long lines are no longer a problem

        * libltdl/Makefile.am: install libltdl conditionally...
        * libltdl/configure.in: ... if --enable-ltdl-install is issued
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: removed #ifdef DEBUG
        * mdemo/Makefile.am (mdemo_debug_LDADD, mdemo_debug_DEPENDENCIES):
        use libltdl.la

1998-12-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * doc/PLATFORMS: added my cygwin32 box (i686-pc-cygwin32).

        * TODO: remind myself of the win32 tasks remaining.

        * ltconfig.in (archive_cmds, archive_sym_cmds,
        old_archive_from_new_cmds): Fixed a bug which left an a.exe in the
        build directory.  Fixed a bug where $soname-def was never deleted.

        * ltconfig.in (file_magic_command): new variable holds the command
        (including any args) to run to generate the string to match
        against the regex in $file_magic.  Use the variable where
        necessary. Added to libtool header output.
        (deplibs_check_method): use file_magic for win32, but compare the
        output of `objdump -f' with the regex (see below).
        (archive_cmds, archive_sym_cmds): use compile_dependencylibs for
        each $CC invokation (see below).

        * ltmain.in: Set allow_undefined to `no' for win32 variants by
        default, otherwise it is impossible to link a dll without forcing
        the makefile maintainer to figure out whether to pass
        --no-undefined at every libtool invokation.
        (compile_dependencylibs): save the list of dependency library
        flags needed for a deplib build on win32.
        (link_against_libtool_libs): commented out the check for this;  if
        it is left in, then ltlibs (i.e. *.la files) cannot be deplibs for
        subsequent links.
        Don't add -lc to the deplibs line for win32 platforms (which don't
        have a libc as such).
        (file_magic_command): use this to get some output to compare with
        the file_magic regex (instead of hardcoding `file' which doesn't
        exist on win32.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Porting inter-library dependencies): Updated
        to document the changes above.

        * ltconfig.in (deplibs_check_method): Changed the file_magic regex
        to match more linux variants.  This is less lenient than Thomas
        Tanner's commit to fix the same problem below.
        Reported by Joel Klecker <address@hidden>
        * THANKS: added Joel Klecker <address@hidden>

1998-12-23  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: fixed file-magic for Linux shared libraries
        * ltmain.in: removed the unused -force-static flag
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: added strchr, search modules in LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH,
        check whether actual module was already dlopened,
        read in preload_libs rather than dependency_libs

1998-12-23  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/Makefile.am: build two versions of libltdl:
        libltdl (support native dlopen if available, otherwise dlpreopen),
        libltdls (like libltdl, but always support for dlpreopen)
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: ditto
        * libltdl/configure.in: warn if dlopen is not supported
        * mdemo/Makefile.am (mdemo.debug): use libltdls

1998-12-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: revert Thomas Tanners change to create all
        libraries without the `lib' prefix on win32, otherwise `gcc foo.c
        -lbar' can't find libbar.a.

1998-12-22  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): prepend `.' to avoid am-recursive
        dependency hack

1998-12-21  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: indentation is now 8 character wide tabs
        * ltmain.in: ditto
        * ChangeLog: ditto
        * ltmain.in: renamed check_shared_deplibs_method to
        deplibs_check_method (we_dont_want_too_long_variable_names :)
        * doc/libtool.texi (Porting inter-library dependencies): ditto
        * depdemo/.cvsignore: renamed hell* to depdemo*, added *.lo,*.la
        * mdemo/.cvsignore: ditto

1998-12-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_NM_PARSE): apparently  __ptr_t is predefined
        on some systems - use lt_ptr_t instead.
        * ltconfig.in: ditto.
        * ltmain.in: ditto.

        * libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE): use an AC_SUBST to pass
        the result of this into the compile rather than AC_DEFINE which
        breaks when building with older versions of autoconf.
        * ltconfig.in (symxfrm): Don't put the leading underscore back
        with the global_symbol_pipe.
        * demo/dlmain.c (main): No need to specialcase underscores in
        dld_preloaded_symbols - it is fixed by symxfrm above!
        * libltdl/configure.in: use AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE from
        libtool.m4 rather than reinvent the wheel here =)O|

        * ltmain.in:  Fix deplibs methods to not rely on a.out (cygwin
        uses a.exe!).

        * libltdl/configure.in: Cleanups - fix header comment and emacs
        local-vars.

        * demo/dlmain.c (win32_force_data_import_address): a nasty hack
        to force the address of imported data symbols into
        dld_preloaded_symbols on win32, which does data imports
        differently to function imports (sheesh!).  This functionality
        needs to be moved into the dld_preloaded_symbols generation code.
        demo/helldl with static linking is broken on win32 by this change,
        probably until after libtool-1.3 =(O|
        * demo/foo.h: make sure __CYGWIN32__ is always defined on cygwin32
        systems.  Use the correct __declspec macro for lib exports/imports
        on cygwin32.
        * demo/foo.c, demo/hello.c: Make sure we tell foo.h that these
        sources are inside libfoo, and want to export symbols.

1998-12-20  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * autogen: configure demo, depdemo, libltdl and mdemo
        * tests/mdemo-exec.test: renamed hell* to mdemo*
        * tests/mdemo-inst.test: ditto

1998-12-19  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/Makefile.am: build a normal libtool library
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: get LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH but don't make use of it yet,
        some reformatting
        * ltmain.in: fixed a bug which listed symbols in
        dld_preloaded_symbols twice
        * TODO: removed symbol export lists and deplibs

1998-12-18  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: added need_lib_prefix and need_version,
        which determine whether we must prefix modules with 'lib'
        and whether versioning is required for libraries.
        * ltmain.in: allow modules names without 'lib' prefix,
        new -avoid-versioning option
        * doc/libtool.texi (link flags): updated documentation for -module,
        added -avoid-versioning
        * doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents):
        documented the two new flags and archive_sym_cmds
        * doc/libtool.texi (tests):
        added (partially very short) documentation for assign.test,
        nomode.test, quote.test, sh.test
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: canonicalize module names,
        some cleanups and bugfixes,  __ptr_t is predefined on
        some systems - use lt_ptr_t instead
        * mdemo/: renamed hell* to mdemo* (hell is already used in
        demo), updated the documentation, import sin and cos in main
        program rather than linking libfoo1 statically

1998-12-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Added AC_PREREQ(2.12) to prevent
        people using libtool with old autoconfs that don't provide the
        features we need.

1998-12-16  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS, configure.in, libtool.spec: Bumped to 1.2e for CVS

        * NEWS, configure.in, libtool.spec: Bumped to 1.2d for release

        * Makefile.am (cvs-dist): our release tags are in lower case
        (cvs-diff): ditto
        (EXTRA_DIST): added README-alpha
        * README-alpha: minor adaptations
        * demo/Makefile.am, mdemo/Makefile.am, depdemo/Makefile.am:
        removed comment about special needs for distribution
        * depdemo/Makefile.am: don't generate dependencies
        * depdemo/configure.in: modified version number

        * ltmain.in (-force-static, force_static): removed
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (CFLAGS): ditto
        * libltdl/configure.in: check for memory.h, rindex() and
        dlpreopening.  Fixed NEED_USCORE caching policy.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlsym): make the name argument const
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (types): new variable: head of list of available
        dlopening mechanisms
        (lt_dltype_t): interface of a dlopening mechanism, with pointers
        to functions for init, exit, open, close and sym
        (lt_dlhandle_t): added pointer to interface type
        (strdup): don't name it strdup; it can be troublesome
        (strrchr): ditto; use rindex if available
        (LIBTOOL_STATIC): check HAVE_DLPREOPEN instead, and move to the
        end of the file, so that it becomes the header of the list
        (all): renamed all interface-implementation functions, to avoid
        name clashes, and created lt_dltype_t nodes for all of them
        (lt_dlinit): initialize all available interfaces; remove those
        that fail from the list.  Return failure only if no interfaces
        could be initialized.
        (lt_dlexit): return number of failures
        (tryall_dlopen): try to open the library with all available
        interfaces
        (lt_dlopen): use tryall_dlopen; increased size of fixed buffers.
        We should probably make these bound-checked or dynamically
        allocated for the final release!  Fix bug when filename did not
        contain slashes; should we check for `\\' too?  Try old_library if
        everything else fails.
        (lt_dlclose): use the interface type for closing
        (lt_dlsym): make `symbol' const, use interface type for looking up
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: moved mdemo/modules/* back into mdemo
        (SUBDIRS): removed
        (libfoo2_la_LDFLAGS): added -static; nice test.  However, since it
        causes -lm to linked into hell*, it causes tests that should fail
        to pass
        (noinst_HEADERS): no need to install foo.h
        * mdemo/configure.in: remove modules/Makefile
        tests/mdemo-exec.test: updated accordingly

        * NEWS: Added Thomas Tanner and Gary V. Vaughan to the list of new
        maintainers.  Detailed expected failures of libtldl+mdemo.  Listed
        recent ports.  Added full URL for the home page.  Note that
        libtool C program is unusable.

1998-12-16  Bruno Haible  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Tested platforms): broken `sed' programs

1998-12-16  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * THANKS: added Stephan Kulow; removed Gary V. Vaughan and Thomas
        Tanner, now that they're AUTHORS

1998-12-16  Stephan Kulow  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (freebsd-aout, freebsd-elf): added missing dot to
        versuffix

1998-12-16  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): removed, nothing needed
        (libtool): automatically update

        * libltdl/configure.in (stdlib.h, unistd.h, stdio.h): check
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: include them

        * demo/configure.in (BINARY_HELLDL): test whether dlopen is
        supported at configure time
        * demo/Makefile.am (helldl): use automake conditionals to build
        helldl as a script or as a binary program

        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): remove ltdl-*.test
        (clean-local): don't clean libltdl any more
        * tests/ltdl-conf.test: removed
        * tests/ltdl-inst.test: ditto
        * tests/ltdl-make.test: ditto
        * tests/ltdl-unst.test: ditto
        * tests/mdemo-make.test: updated accordingly
        * tests/mdemo-inst.test: ditto
        * tests/mdemo-unst.test: ditto
        * doc/libtool.texi: ditto

        * ltmain.in (-DSTATIC): changed to -DLIBTOOL_STATIC, and defined
        only for -force-static; it should be removed soon, before people
        start to use it

        * configure.in (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): added libltdl
        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): build libltdl by default
        (DIST_SUBDIRS): simplify distribution of demo and mdemo
        (libtool, clibtool, libtoolize, ltconfig, ltmain.sh): add
        srcdir where appropriate
        (ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST): new rule for maintaining links from
        acinclude.m4 to libtool.m4
        (*demo/Makefile.in): don't update autoconf/automake files any
        more; make check is needed

1998-12-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): tweaked for cygwin b18->b20.1
        compatibility and fixed a bug with generating the export
        definitions file.  This is only tested on b20.1, but should
        work back to b18 at least.

1998-12-11  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: -module implies now -export-dynamic,
        dlpreopen files if we're linking statically
        * doc/libtool.texi (link flags): added documentation for -module
        and the tests for mdemo and libltdl
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: replaced -dlpreopen with -dlopen

1998-12-09  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * PORTING: removed the text Akim Demaille converted to .texi

1998-12-09  Akim Demaille  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi: converted inter-library dependencies
        instructions from PORTING

1998-12-09  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (convenience, deplibs): propagate dependencies
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): don't install ltdl.h yet
        (noinst_LTLIBRARIES): ditto for libltdl.la

1998-12-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * README-alpha: adapted the release procedure from
        automake/HACKING.
        * Makefile.am: adapted the cvs-dist and cvs-diff rules from
        automake/Makefile.am.  I guess this is probably safe to use
        already, but I didn't test it as it tags the CVS tree.  If
        it needs tweaking, we'll find out come 1.2d.

1998-12-08  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: fixed some typos in archive_sym_cmds
        * ltmain.in: replaced basename with a sed expression

1998-12-07  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * configure.in: we no longer use PRCS

        * doc/libtool.texi (author): listed all the AUTHORS
        (Dlopen issues): added reference to libltdl, still undocumented
        (C++ libraries): it's not *that* simple, after all :-(
        (Inter-library dependencies): they're back!

1998-12-04  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (ac_cv_sys_symbol_underscore): `test a == b' doesn't
        work, use `test a = b' instead

        * Makefile.am (mdemo_distfiles): libfoo[12].sym no longer exist

        * ltconfig.in (solaris): do not use $CC for linking if GNU ld is
        not available

1998-12-04  Manfred Weichel  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Port to SCO UnixWare 7.x.

1998-12-03  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ChangeLog: converted CR/LF back to CR format
        * ltconfig.in: new variable sys_lib_search_path for searching
        of installed libraries, export archive_sym_cmds and
        sys_lib_search_path
        * ltmain.in: use sys_lib_search_path, removed extradeplibs
        (they're not portable)

1998-12-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/configure.in: look for string.h or else strings.h, and
        also check for ANSI strrchr() function.  Fix `undescore before
        symbols' macro to not rely on a.out (cygwin uses a.exe!).  Fix
        `underscore for dlsym' to set cache variable properly, not just in
        environment of AC_DEFINE(NEED_USCORE).
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (__ptr_t): for K&R compatibility using char*.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (strrchr): fallback function incase none is
        defined in libc.
        (trim, ltdlopen): replace rindex with ANSI strrchr.
        Add static function declarations so that we get type checking with
        ANSI compilers.  Use __ptr_t instead of void*.

1998-12-01  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: added -export-symbols support for GNU ld and
        Solaris (untested), archive_sym_cmds for -export-symbols
        * doc/libtool.texi, ltmain.in: -export-symbols is now
        independent from -export-dynamic and does not work for modules
        anymore
        * ltmain.in: added some checks for -export-symbols
        * mdemo/modules/Makefile.am: replaced -export-symbols with
        -export-dynamic since it doesn't work for modules

1998-12-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * README: Updated homepage pointer to gnu libtool page.

        * ltconfig.in (ltdll.c): update the ltdll.c file for cygwinb20.
        Based on code from Mumit Khan <address@hidden>.
        (archive_cmds): correct typo libtool.c->ltdll.c.  Update shell
        commands for cygwin32.

        * libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE): New macro; find out
        whether compiled symbols have an extra leading underscore.
        (AM_SYS_NM_PARSE): New macro (converted to m4 from ltconfig.in);
        find a sed expression to parse global symbols from the output of
        $NM.
        (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): require AM_SYS_NM_PARSE and
        AM_SYS_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE.
        * demo/dlmain.c (main): Remove a single leading underscore from
        compiled symbol names if necessary.

1998-12-01  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * config.guess, config.sub: imported from autoconf pre-2.13

1998-11-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libtool (AM_PROG_LD): Oops... we need to know the host_os for
        the changes below.  I'm not sure whether mingw32 and os2 support
        UNC paths, if they did we wouldn't need the check, we could use
        UNC paths on all three; or if the bug with $LD not being
        shell-meta escaped was fixed, we could use '\\' separators on all
        three. AC_REQUIRE'ed AC_CANONICAL_HOST.

        * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LD): Cannonicalize the absolute path for the
        ld program;  The order is funny to provide canonicalization to
        paths with '\\' separators as well as '/'.
        * ltconfig.in: ditto.

        * AUTHORS: Added myself as a co-maintainer.

        * ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): The `;\' in a compound statement is
        expanded wrongly for cygwin32, mingw32, aix3 and aix4. Changed to
        `;'.

1998-11-25  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.spec (URL): point to www.gnu.org
        (Source): point to ftp.gnu.org

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): removed libtool.prj
        Reported by Akim Demaille <address@hidden>

1998-11-24  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (echo): avoid shell error messages when we're
        testing for large command line support
        Reported by Axel Thimm <address@hidden>

        * doc/PLATFORMS: updated last-tested release for platforms I've
        got access to

        * THANKS: added Chris P. Ross

1998-11-24  Chris P. Ross  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: added recognition of the dynamic linker on BSD/OS 4.x
        * README: added BSD/OS 4.x to the list of supported platforms
        * doc/PLATFORMS: added BSD/OS 4.x support for various host id's

1998-11-24  David Heine  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (pass_all): actively pass the flags

1998-11-24  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * depdemo: added inter-library dependencies demo (doesn't work yet!)
        * AUTHORS: added myself to the list of maintainers

1998-11-22  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl: added support for .la files, LGPL license,
        K&R compatibility, some API changes and bugfixes
        * ltmain.in: renamed -module flag (for compiling) to -force-static,
        define -DSTATIC when compiling static .o files,
        do not include directories in dld_preloaded_symbols
        * mdemo: modified mdemo to work with the new libltdl
        * tests/mdemo-exec.test, tests/mdemo-inst.test: use .la files

1998-11-21  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: replace NULL with 0, so that we don't depend on
        header files defining it.

        * ltconfig.in (archive_cmds, osf3, osf4, solaris, sunos4): create
        libraries with gcc -shared if using gcc without GNU ld.

        * ltconfig.in: replaced occurrences of solaris2 with solaris, to
        prepare for Solaris 7

1998-11-19  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * mdemo/Makefile.am (hell_debug_LDFLAGS): -dlpreopen -> -dlopen
        (hell_LDFLAGS): added -export-dynamic and -dlopen
        (SUBDIRS, INCLUDES): added modules directory
        (foo1.c, foo2.c, foo.h, libfoo1.sym, libfoo2.sym): moved to modules
        * Makefile.am: ditto
        * tests/mdemo-exec.test, tests/mdemo-inst.test: libraries moved
        * mdemo/modules/Makefile.am: new file

        * */Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): added no-dependencies

        * ltmain.in: missing `test' between `&&' and `"$module"'

        * ltconfig.in (echo_test_string): the whole ltconfig script was
        too much for DU4.0's ksh, but the first 50 lines will be enough.

        * ltmain.in (installed): new variable defined within a .la file,
        so that libtool can now link already-installed libraries into a
        program.
        * NEWS: ditto
        * doc/libtool.texi (Linking executables): document it

        * ltmain.in (output_objdir): compute it from $output, not $arg

        * tests/mdemo-inst.test (libltdl): install it
        * tests/mdemo-unst.test (libltdl): uninstall it
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): list ltdl-unst.test before mdemo-conf.test

1998-11-18  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: -module and libtldl
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: ../libltdl is within $(srcdir)

1998-11-18  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl, Makefile.am: added libltdl (a system independent
        dlopen wrapper library extracted from mdemo)
        * ltmain.in: added -module flag for compiling and linking of
        modules. If enabled it compiles always both .o (with -DLT_RENAME)
        and .lo files
        * mdemo: modified mdemo to work with libltdl
        * tests/ltdl*: added tests for libltdl

1998-11-16  Steve Price  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: when $host_os is freebsd[23]* determine whether
        the current linker format is a.out or ELF
        * ltmain.in: add two new $version_type's, freebsd-aout and
        freebsd-elf, to support above change

1998-11-16  Stephan Kulow  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: extent no_builtin_flag to contain -fno-rtti and
        -fno-exceptions in case we compile with a gcc, that supports
        this options (egcs and gcc >= 2.8)

1998-11-16  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (C_compiler): copy $CC before it is overwritten with
        command-line compiler, so that we can use it to compile C sources
        generated during the build.  This fixes the problem that showed up
        with -export-dynamic of C++ programs in egcs 1.1.
        * NEWS: ditto

1998-11-12  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * PORTING: Porting instructions are in the libtool manual already

        * NEWS: Mention -export-symbols and new dlpreopen

1998-11-11  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (IFS): revert Gary's patch when parsing version
        information; we still use `:' here :-)

        * NEWS: updated
        * PORTING: new file, with general instructions and inter-library
        dependencies tips

1998-11-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: make use of '~' field separator in reload_cmds,
        old_archive_from_new_cmds, old_archive_cmds, archive_cmds,
        old_postinstall_cmds, postinstall_cmds, old_postuninstall_cmds,
        postuninstall_cmds and finish_cmds, so that the semi-colons inside
        if/then/else/fi and for/do/done etc. do not break the eval loop in
        ltmain.in (below).
        * ltmain.in: changed all of the eval loops to use an IFS of `~',
        to allow differentiation between the end-of-statement-;
        (now `~' is used) and end-of-substatement-; (still `;').  This
        fixes AIX and win32 at least.

1998-11-11  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (sunos*, sympat, symxfrm): remove underscore
        prepended by the compiler

1998-11-10  Toshio Kuratomi  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: re-enable deplibs
        * ltmain.in: support deplibs, at least for GNU/Linux/x86
        Updated to current libtool by Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

1998-11-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (link): Make the relink warning less harsh.

1998-11-07  William M. Perry  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (aix3, aix4): uniquify symbol names in archive_cmds

1998-11-07  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: add --falback-echo, to be used if everything else
        fails.  The tests now check the behavior of $echo for very large
        strings, because some echo commands would just core dump (e.g.,
        Solaris' printf).  If too large strings fail, smaller ones are
        tested.
        (ltecho): arrange that, if the --fallback-echo method is selected,
        echo will be defined in the libtool script so as to re-run itself,
        not ltconfig
        * ltmain.in: add --fallback-echo
        (qecho) ensure that, if --falback-echo is being used, qecho is
        defined with the full pathname of the libtool script

        * tests/sh.test (test X): ensure that the double-quote supposed to be
        reported is really reported

1998-11-07  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * mdemo/main.c: removed hardcoded library names; link against -lm
        * tests/mdemo-exec, tests/mdemo-inst: pass the library names
        to the program

1998-11-07  Marc J. Fraioli  <address@hidden>

        * README: Added DG/UX
        * doc/PLATFORMS: ditto

1998-11-04  Michael Tiemann  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (irix6): it's a little bit different from irix5

1998-11-04  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * THANKS: Added Thomas Tanner and Gary V. Vaughan

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: updated and fixed the patches below

        modules
        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/mdemo*: added some tests for mdemo

1998-11-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * demo/configure.in: added AC_EXEEXT macro so that the tests can
        work on cywin32/mingw32 hosts.  This requires the current CVS
        autoconf

1998-11-04  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: New flag -export-symbols; new dlpreopen system
        * demo/dlmain.c: removed dld_preloaded_symbol_count

1998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: On installation, don't get confused if the same name
        appears more than once in the list of library names.

1998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Add objext and libext variables.  Check for object
        suffix.  Check for mingw32* as well as cygwin32*.  Use objext when
        testing compiler.  Add support for Visual C++ on cygwin32 when not
        using gcc.  Add objext, libext, and fix_srcfile_path to generated
        libtool script.
        * ltmain.in: Use .${objext} rather than .o.  Use fix_srcfile_path
        if it is set.  Check for .obj as well as for .o, and for .lib as
        well as for .a.  Use .${libext} rather than .a when creating old
        libraries.
        * libtoolize.in: Change initial /bin/sh to @address@hidden
        * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Add AC_REQUIRE for
        AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, so that autoconf doesn't get mixed up by the
        AC_REQUIRE in AC_CHECK_TOOL.

1998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Look in the right directory for libtool.c in
        archive_cmds for cygwin32.

1998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Fix cygwin32 support to avoid using a double
        extension, to delete the def file, to set version_type to windows,
        and to include versuffix in the DLL name.
        * ltmain.in: Add support for a version_type of windows.

1998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Add cygwin32 support.
        * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Call AM_SYS_LIBTOOL_CYGWIN32 on a
        cygwin32 host.  Pass DLLTOOL and AS to ltconfig.
        (AM_SYS_LIBTOOL_CYGWIN32): New macro.

1998-11-04  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (sco): fix typo

1998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: On AIX, don't treat GNU ld specially.

1998-11-04  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (hardcode_minus_L): Revert Ian's patch for
        ltconfig.in.  Although -L hardcoding is not used with GNU ld, it
        does happen, so hardcode_minus_L must be set to yes.

        * ltconfig.in (compiler_o_lo): check whether we can write directly
        to a .lo

        * ltmain.in (compiler_o_lo): if not, write to .o and rename it

1998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: For sunos4 using GNU ld, set hardcode_minus_L to
        no.
        * ltmain.in: Add some hacks to make SunOS --enable-shared work
        when using GNU ld.

1998-11-04  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * THANKS: Added Marc J. Fraioli

1998-11-04  Marc J. Fraioli  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (dgux): new supported platforms

1998-11-04  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (need_locks): if neither `-c -o' nor hard links are
        available, fallback to not so safe mechanism, by setting
        need_locks to warn
        * ltmain.in (need_locks): when need_locks is set to warn, use the
        lockfile to try to fail in case of incorrect concurrent builds

        * THANKS: Added Eric Estievenart

1998-11-04  Eric Estievenart  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Compile mode): Document that -o is fully
        supported.

        * libtool.m4 (libtool-lock): new ARG_ENABLE; sets (need_locks)
        * ltconfig.in (disable-lock): control need_locks
        (hard_links): check whether hard-links can be used for locking
        * ltmain.in (need_locks): use $output_obj.lock for locking

1998-11-03  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: correctly create libraries and programs with
        directory components in their names

1998-11-03  Eric Estievenart <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (output_obj): typo

1998-11-02  Ian Lance Taylor  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: For sunos4, add ${libname}.so$versuffix to
        library_names_spec.
        * ltmain.in: For version_type of sunos, set versuffix even if
        -version-info was not used.

1998-11-02  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (libobj): default value must not contain directory
        components

1998-11-02  Eric Estievenart <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (compiler): detect if the compiler supports
        -c and -o flags, create a variable compiler_c_o. Also issue
        a big warning if it is not supported

        * ltmain.in (compile): enable the -o option as input for libtool.
        The objects are not moved if the compiler supports -o with -c.
        Sources and objects can contain relative directories.
        (link): enable the linking of executables into relative directories

1998-11-02  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * AUTHORS: added myself as a co-maintainer
        * THANKS: and removed my name from here

        * autogen: new script; run it to bootstrap libtool after checking
        it out from CVS

        * libtool.m4 (CFLAGS): check whether -belf is needed on SCO, as
        suggested by Robert Lipe <address@hidden>

1998-10-31  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * demo/Makefile.am (hc-libpath): Use parameters from the libtool
        in the top build directory, since the one in the demo directory is
        not guaranteed to exist.

1998-10-27  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * demo/Makefile.am (objdir): there are no longer quotes around
        objdir in the libtool script

1998-10-27  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (dynamic_linker): Echo the result to fd 6, so that
        --silent works correctly.  From William M. Perry.

1998-09-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (link): Fix problems when building only static
        libraries.  From Owen Taylor.

1998-08-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (install): When library_names_spec has redundancies,
        avoid deleting the main library when installing symlinks.  From
        Jeff Dairiki.
        (link): Get rid of backticks in a here doc comment.
        This causes segfaults on Solaris 2.  From Aleksandar Bakic.
        (finish): Don't display messages

        * ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): On HP-UX 9, make sure we don't try

        * ltmain.in: Convenience archive support.  From Ulrich Drepper.

        * ltconfig.in (postinstall_commands): Change libraries to be
        executable on Solaris in order to prevent ldd from moaning.  From
        Julian Gosnell.
        (whole_archive_flag_spec): New variable to shortcut convenience
        archive expansion.  From Ulrich Drepper.

1998-06-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: Change globs to accept forward slashes
        in absolute directory names used on DOS-like systems.  From Robert
        S. Maier.

Thu May 28 18:59:08 1998  Ian Lance Taylor  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Use $SHELL when invoking shell scripts.

1998-05-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (compile): Don't have `-static' turn off libtool
        libraries, so that people can use it just to guarantee that `.o'
        files exist.  Suggested by David Mosberger-Tang.

1998-05-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (link): Possibly reexec the shell from within the
        wrapper script.
        Allow `-version-info' and `-release' to coexist again.  If people
        want to shoot themselves in the foot, I'd better let them do so,
        so that people who are smart enough not to can squeeze out another
        ounce of functionality.  From Tim Janik.
        (version_vars): Delete dead variable.

        * ltconfig.in (hardcode_minus_L): FreeBSD 3.0 doesn't hardcode, at
        last.  Reported by Jason Nordwick.

        * libtoolize.in, ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: Change a bunch of `if
        test ...; then : ; else ...' constructs to `if test ! ...; then
        ...', for clarity.

1998-05-17  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (LC_ALL, LANG): Save these values and restore them
        during execute mode.  From Pavel Kankovsky.
        (mode): Accept strace and truss as programs that throw us into
        execute mode.  From Pavel Kankovsky.

1998-05-07  Ian Lance Taylor  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Don't use .$versuffix or .$major.  Instead, assume
        the variable will include any required prefix.
        * ltmain.in: If no -version-info option was used, produce empty
        version strings rather than 0.0.0.  When making library symlinks,
        avoid making a symlink if the name would be the same.

1998-04-27  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (link): Support `unsupported' as a hardcode_action.
        Reported by Lars Hecking.
        (lib_linked): Do some sanity checking to make sure that we
        actually do link libtool libraries into the program to prevent the
        above problem from happening again.

1998-04-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Maybe reexec under $SHELL, if $echo doesn't work.
        Reported by Lars Hecking.

1998-04-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (maintainer-rekey): New rule to force us to change
        Project-Version after we make a release.  This keeps all version
        numbers in sync, rather than branching just before the release.
        (maintainer-release, maintainer-checkin): Use maintainer-rekey.

        * ltmain.in (finish): Notice when a finish command fails, so that
        we can add it to the list of recommendations.

1998-04-17  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Append file descriptor 5 to
        config.log, so that configure doesn't clobber the messages that
        ltconfig put there.  From David Taylor.

1998-04-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): Try using `$CC -shared' when
        configuring for GCC under irix5 and irix6.  From Wolfram Gloger.
        (ofile): Add `--output' flag to change the name of the generated
        libtool.  Suggested by Wolfram Gloger.

1998-04-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Remove all hardcoded references to ltmain.in in
        favour of $PACKAGE and $PROGRAM.
        (install): Compute the installation name for programs, in case we
        install a relinked file which has a different name.  Reported by
        Pieter Schoenmakers.

        * ltconfig.in (echo): Try using the ksh(1) `print -r' builtin
        command, before reverting to printf(1).

        * Makefile.am (libtool): Use $(SHELL) when invoking ltconfig.

        * ltconfig.in (echo): Rewrite the test for a working echo so that
        we win on Solaris by avoiding printf(1), if possible.

        * tests/quote.test (echo): Update the echo test from ../ltconfig.in.

1998-04-13  Ian Lance Taylor  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_NM): Don't override NM in the environment.

1998-04-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: New `--config' flag to print out all configured
        variables.

        * libtool.m4: Pass ltconfig the undocumented --no-reexec flag,
        since we call it explicitly using CONFIG_SHELL.

        * ltconfig.in: Restart the script under a different shell if
        CONFIG_SHELL is not /bin/sh.  This way, people can use Bash if
        they don't have a working echo program.

        * ltmain.in, ltconfig.in: Use $SHELL instead of /bin/sh when
        generating executable scripts.

        * libtoolize.in, ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: Implement the `--debug'
        flag to begin shell tracing.

        * ltconfig.in (archive_cmds): Don't use `gcc -shared', even if we
        have GNU ld.  Reported by Robert S. Maier.

1998-04-06  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (pic_flag): Create more than just a null C file, so
        that the SunPRO 4.2 cc doesn't complain.  From Bob Friesenhahn.
        (gnu_ld_acts_native): Delete this variable.  There is just too
        much version skew to try to pretend GNU ld is the same as the
        system ld.  Reported by Ian Lance Taylor.
        (hardcode_action): Don't bother relinking or aborting on systems
        that are too dynamic to have a consistent hardcode method.
        Reported by Doug Winterburn.

1998-03-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi: A little proofreading.  From Albert
        Chin-A-Young.

1998-03-23  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Treat HP-UX 11 just like HP-UX 10.  From Jeff Law.

1998-03-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (reload_flag): Correct a tiny bug where `--silent'
        would still print out the reload flag.  From Stephan Kulow.

1998-03-20  Ian Lance Taylor  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Use changequote to avoid problems with square
        bracket patterns.

1998-03-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Release 1.2.

1998-03-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Rearrange some of the echos to make them more
        consistent.

1998-03-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Break up an echo command that causes Solaris printf
        to dump core.  Apparently the Solaris people hardcoded a 2110-byte
        buffer into their printf(1).  Feh.  From John Judge.

1998-03-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Change the test for the PIC compiler flag so that
        we assume it doesn't work if there are any warning messages.  This
        fixes a bug using old GCC's on HP-UX.  Reported by Akim Demaille.

1998-03-10  Andreas Schwab  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig): Remove bogus command to create
        a file ltconfig in the build directory.

1998-03-09  Andreas Schwab  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Avoid unnecessary use of command substitution,
        replacing foo=`eval \\$echo \"$mumble\"` by eval foo=\"$mumble\".

        (link): Use ${1+"$@"} in wrapper scripts in order to pass
        arguments safely to a program.

        * ltconfig.in: Use -fpic instead of -fPIC if $host_cpu matches
        m68*.

1998-03-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Release 1.1.

        * ltmain.in: <sigh> I like `here documents' a lot, but apparently
        they are so badly handled by old and buggy /bin/sh's, that
        replacing `cat <<EOF ... EOF' by `$echo "..."' improves libtool's
        speed by a factor of 5.  So, I've eliminated here docs from the
        all-important ltmain.in.  From Tom Lane.

        * tests/tlibtool: Eliminate from distribution.

        * tests/defs (libtool): Don't use tlibtool anymore, since we can now use
        the generated libtool directly.

1998-03-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Copy the contents of ltmain.sh into the generated
        libtool.  This should more than halve the execution times on old
        or buggy /bin/sh systems, such as HP-UX 9 and SunOS 4.1.4.  From
        Tom Lane.

1998-03-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC): Add support for
        the `default' package, so that people can control unnamed
        packages.
        (LD): Only add an ABI flag under IRIX 6.x, since IRIX 5.x doesn't
        support them.  From Alexandre Oliva.

1998-03-01  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Port to UnixWare 2.x.  From Christopher Olsen.

1998-02-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (compile): For consistency, honour the `-static' flag
        during compilation.

1998-02-23  Brendan Kehoe  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC): For
        --enable-shared, heed the value of $PACKAGE from AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
        if given as the argument for the library to be built shared.

1998-02-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): Fix up a typo confusion between
        $ac_dir and $dir.  Reported by Akim Demaille.

        * ltmain.in (link): Don't allow both `-version-info' and
        `-release'.  Reported by Danny Backx.

1998-02-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (noinst_SCRIPTS): Remove lineno from distribution.

        * lineno: Remove from distribution, as it is no longer needed.

        * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig.in, $(srcdir)/ltmain.sh):
        Rewrite these rules not to use config.status or lineno.  This
        makes things simpler, and reduces dependencies, so that the
        scripts are rebuilt and installed in srcdir only when necessary.
        Reported by Stephan Kulow.

        * tests/sh.test (scripts): Remove the lineno script, since it is no
        longer distributed.

        * tests/assign.test, if.test, test-e.test: Even though 15 tests looks
        impressive, these are now redundant.  Remove them from the
        distribution.

        * tests/sh.test: Do what assign.test, if.test, and test-e.test used to
        do.

1998-02-16  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4, ltmain.in, ltconfig.in: Correctly identify absolute
        directory names on MS-DOS.  Suggested by Bob Friesenhahn.

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in, libtool.m4: Change a bunch of `sed N!d'
        commands to `sed Nq', for efficiency.

        * ltmain.in: Only egrep the first few lines of files in order to
        determine if they were libtool-generated.  This prevents egrep(1)
        from taking forever to look at a 10MB binary on Solaris.  From
        Stephan Kulow.

        * tests/defs: Correctly identify absolute directory names on MS-DOS.
        Suggested by Bob Friesenhahn.

1998-02-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (no_undefined_flag): Add a flag to declare under
        Solaris that the library should not have any undefined
        references.  Suggested by Bob Friesenhahn.

        * ltmain.in (mkdir): Fix one more mkdir race.  From H.J. Lu.

1998-02-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (striplib, old_striplib): Ditto.

        * ltconfig.in (profile_flag_pattern): Get rid of dead code.

1998-02-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC): New macros to
        modify the `--enable-shared' and `--enable-static' defaults in the
        configure script.  This works a lot better than the old
        `enable_shared' and `enable_static' variables did.  Reported by
        Bob Friesenhahn.

        * tests/suffix.test (extensions): Added GNAT (GNU Ada Translator)
        suffices, `.ada', `.ads', `.adb'.  From Samuel Tardieu.

1998-02-07  Samuel Tardieu  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Recognize .ada, .ads and .adb as known suffixes (they
        are used by GNAT, the GNU Ada compiler).

1998-02-06  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Turn on IRIX shared libraries again!

        * libtool.m4 (LD): Use file(1) to discover which ABI we're using
        on IRIX, and propagate the correct linker flag.  From Jim Wilson.

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (Xsed): `arg=-n; echo "$arg" | sed ...'
        gives problems, because the `-n' is interpreted as an option to
        echo(1).  So, use `echo "X$arg" | sed -e 's/^X//' ...' everywhere,
        via the $Xsed convenience variable.  Suggested by H.J. Lu.

1998-02-02  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: Turn off IRIX shared library support until 32-bit
        and 64-bit ABI differences can be resolved.

1998-01-28  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (LD): Reverse yesterday's change because `-old_ld'
        isn't accepted by GCC.

1998-01-27  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (soname_spec): Add in user-specified release numbers
        for every host system that supports an soname that differs from
        the linkname.

        * libtool.m4 (LD): Add `-old_ld' to the list of flags that need to
        be passed through on SGI.  Reported by Chris Lee.

        * ltmain.in (release): Prepend a hyphen to the release number, and
        fix a typo because `-version-info' takes only 3 args.  From
        H.J. Lu.

1998-01-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (library_names_spec): On Linux, use the
        user-specified release.

        * ltmain.in (link): Allow the user to specify a release number for
        the library using the `-release' flag.  Suggested by H.J. Lu and
        Ian Lance Taylor.

1998-01-23  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Export some important
        environment variables.  Reported by Ian Haggard.

1998-01-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (old_postuninstall_cmds): Reorder so that chmod
        happens after ranlib.  From Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer.

        * ltmain.in (mode): Added `gcc*' and `*-gcc*' to the patterns that
        recognize compilers.  From Pieter Schoenmakers.
        (link): Recognize `.a' files again.  Suggested by Pieter
        Schoenmakers.

1998-01-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (compile): Recognize `.asm' extension, for use with
        the nasm assembler.  From Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer.

        * tests/suffix.test (extensions): Recognize `.asm'.  From Markus
        F.X.J. Oberhumer.

1998-01-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (runpath_var): Use instead of
        `hardcode_runpath_var'.

1998-01-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (finish): Add a better --finish message.  Suggested by
        Kenneth Albanowski.

        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: Fix a few typos.

1998-01-03  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (link): Quote the definition of $echo in the wrapper
        script.

        * ltconfig.in (export_dynamic_flag_spec): Use `--export-dynamic'
        instead of `-export-dynamic', which is not accepted by all GNU
        ld's.  From Eiichi Takamori.

        * ltmain.in (install): Don't print silly `library stripping'
        warnings.  Reported by François Pinard.

Continued in ChangeLog.1997
Index: ChangeLog.1999

        * ltmain.in: Oops, `largarg' -> `lastarg'.

        * ltmain.in (-Wc, -Xcompiler): Implemented in compile mode.

        * ltmain.in (-Xcompiler, -Xlinker): Add to compile_command and
        finalize_command.
        (-Wc, -Wl): Likewise.

        * tests/quote.test: Adjust quoting style of -Wl.

        * ltmain.in: Oops, `echo' -> `$echo'.

        * ltmain.in (-Wl, -Wc): Make commas argument separators, just like
        in gcc.

        * ltmain.in (libtool_args): Get all arguments properly enclosed in
        quotes and backslash-protected when needed.

        upon -I may lead to duplicates.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Suggest appending ltdl.m4 to acinclude.m4.
        * libtoolize.in: Check AC_LIB_LTDL version number in aclocal.m4.

        * libltdl/configure.in (with_auxdir): Do not use it as the
        argument of AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, automake requires a literal here.
        Use AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIRS/DIR_DEFAULT instead.

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (ACLOCAL): Define with `-I .', as in
        bootstrap.

1999-12-15  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/configure.in: path to auxiliary files can be specified
        using --with-auxdir (idea by Howard Chu <address@hidden>)

        * ltmain.in: don't remove multiple occurences from dependency_libs
        of a library, otherwise many dependencies would get lost

        * bootstrap: use "aclocal -I ." instead of adding the contents
        of ltdl.m4 to acinclude.m4

1999-12-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: updated.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am: Use -no-undefined for dll compliance.

        export global data symbols from libtldl.dll.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: Define and use LTDL_SCOPE to declare data

        ltdl.m4.
        * libltdl/configure.in: Removed header checks, as they are
        automatically performed by AC_LIB_LTDL.
        * libltdl/ltdl.m4: Added header checks from configure.in, so that
        AC_LIB_LTDL is sufficient to compile ltdl.c.
        Reported by Stephan Kulow <address@hidden>.

        * ltconfig.in (ltdll_obj): fixed typo: objdir -> $objdir

1999-12-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        DATA tags associated with symbols by recent dlltool.
        (cygwin*, mingw*, archive_expsym_cmds): Honor any DATA tags
        found in the symbol list.
        Reported by Jon Leichter <address@hidden>.

1999-12-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        From Stephan Kulow <address@hidden>

        Reported by Stephan Kulow <address@hidden>.

        From Tim Mooney  <address@hidden>
        * ltconfig.in:  split off the osf3 section, so that the osf4 and
        osf5 sections can add `-msym' to arguments passed to the linker
        for shared libs.

1999-12-03  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (ac_compile): Use $ac_ext instead of .c.
        (ac_link): Likewise.

        * configure.in: AC_SUBST variables that are used by ltconfig to
        build libtool.

        * ltconfig.in (irix6*): Do not override deplibs_check_method
        here.

        * libtool.m4: Do not AC_SUBST anything other than LIBTOOL.

1999-11-20  Michael Forster  <address@hidden>

        positives with a comment that disables the detector.
        Reported by Akim Demaille <address@hidden>

        * configure.in: Move ltconfig and ltmain.sh generation back...
        * Makefile.am: here.

        * doc/libtool.texi: fix typo

        * fix major bugs which rendered libtool virtually
        unusable (i.e. not portable):
        * ltconfig.in: don't hardcode system dependent variables in ltconfig!!
        but set sane defaults
        * Makefile.am: pass variables from AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP to ltconfig
        * libtool.m4: ditto, fix typo in AC_PROG_LD_RELOAD_FLAG

        dos line endings.

1999-10-28  Stephane Conversy  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (-DPIC):  changed the order of pic flags a little to
        prevent upsetting the sgi c++ compiler.

1999-10-28  Olly Betts  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (opt_cr):  Handle crlf sequences output by the
        mingw toolchain.

        * libtool.m4:  Third time lucky, with Tor's patch.

1999-10-19  Tor Lillqvist  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4:  these was a missing `*' in the -mno-cygwin
        match.
        * ltconfig.in (cygwin, ltdll_obj): fixed a quoting error.

1999-10-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (-no-install):  This doesn't work on win32 since
        the search path for libraries is not encoded in the binary,
        and dlls not in $PATH won't be found.  Fall back to -no-fast-install
        instead.

        * ltmain.in (-no-fast-install):  Wrapper script used to add the
        exeext on again when naming the wrapped executable.

        given regex.
        (AC_PATH_PROG_GREP_VERSION):  New macro used by the above.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Use the new macros to search the PATH
        [starting at /usr/bin] for a file program which accepts
        --version and has "file" in its --version output.

        for SCO3.2.

1999-09-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (whole-archive-flag-spec):  I had been
        wondering why my file system was filling up with empty
        files named `71'... seems I forgot to hold in the
        shift key when redirecting stderr, 2>&1.  Doh!

1999-09-29  Vadim  <address@hidden>

        and link ltdll.c if the libtool.m4 macros discovered that it is
        required.

1999-07-26  Olly Betts  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4(cygwin mingw32, AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Oops.  Fix some
        typos made by Evil Gary while (mis)applying my patch :-).

        * libtool.m4(cygwin mingw32, AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP):  On second

        the old `-Wl,--dll -nostartfiles' on cygwin.

1999-07-24  Erez Zadok  <address@hidden>

        * doc/PLATFORMS (i*86-*openbsd2.5):  New platform.

        (but this information isn't yet used).
        * ltconfig.in (mingw32, extract_expsyms_cmds): if HOST_CC is set,
        use that to build impgen so we can use it when cross-compiling.
        use correct entry points for mingw so static C++ constructors get
        called for code in the DLL.
        * ltmain.in (impgen.c): define O_BINARY to 0 if it is not in the
        system headers.

        * doc/libtool.texi (C++ Libraries):  fixed a typo.

1999-07-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        locations.

1999-07-03  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        GNU libtool 1.3b was released.

        * NEWS: inserted todays date.

1999-07-02  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * doc/PLATFORMS: Tested on as many platforms as possible for me.

1999-07-01  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: updated
        * doc/PLATFORMS: updated
        * changed my email address

1999-06-30  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * demo/foo.h: use LT_PARAMS instead of LTDL_PARAMS (this is not libltdl)
        * tests/build-relink.test: also check for hardcode_into_libs = yes,
        if set, we need to relink at install-time

1999-06-29  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: mention -no-fast-install, rename dummy to force
        * doc/PLATFORMS: 1.3b passes all tests on GNU/Linux,
        FreeBSD (2.2.6 and 3.1)
        * doc/libtool.texi: it's possible to link libtool libraries
        using -L and -l, better documentation of uninstall and clean mode,
        rename dummy to force, documented -no-fast-install,
        AC_LIBLTDL_* must be called before AC_PROG_LIBTOOL,
        documented hardcode_into_libs and striplib/old_striplib,
        * ltconfig.in: search for strip program, added hardcode_into_libs
        and striplib/old_striplib variables, set strip commands for GNU strip,
        on FreeBSD >= 3.2 set hardcode_into_libs to yes,
        fast-install mode doesn't work if hardcode_into_libs = yes
        * ltmain.in: reimplemented hardcoding into libraries:
        new relink mode, preserve all libtool args, relink libraries
        when installing if necessary
        added -no-fast-install flag, removed unnecessary `dlname'
        initialization, use striplib/old_striplib for stripping libraries,
        dlname is always soname or in library_names so we don't need
        to handle different file names

1999-06-29  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-29  Pavel Roskin <address@hidden>, Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-25  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-23  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: updated
        * README: added GNU Hurd to the supported platforms
        * doc/libtool.texi: document `-dlpreopen dummy'

1999-06-23  Olly Betts  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-20  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

1999-06-18  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-18  Teun Burgers  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

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

1999-06-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-14 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-12 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-10  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

1999-06-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-09  Pavel Roskin  <address@hidden>

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

1999-06-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

1999-06-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * ltconfig.in (export_symbols_cmds): Add $convenience.
        (cygwin, export_symbols_cmds): Ditto.
        * ltmain.in: Generate export symbol list before expanding

        compiler and linker-specific flags,
        add -lc before we do the deplibs check

        4.3.2.0 no longer fails on static dlopening.  GNU DLD no longer
        has to support .la files, since libltdl already does.  Convenience
        libraries and reloadable objects should be tested in the
        testsuite.  We could support some amount of control on the soname
        of libraries.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Notes about convenience libraries and
        automake.  Documented INCLTDL.

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

        * TODO: -Wl and -Wc options.

1999-04-12  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Remove trivial warnings.

1999-04-22  Frank Ch. Eigler  <address@hidden>

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

1999-04-12  John David Anglin  <address@hidden>

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

1999-04-12  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

1999-04-11 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

1999-04-10  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

1999-04-09 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

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

1999-04-07  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

1999-04-07 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

1999-04-07  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

1999-04-06  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

1999-04-06 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

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

1999-04-05  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

1999-04-05 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

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

1999-04-04  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

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

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

1999-04-03  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: improved support for AIX and HP/UX

1999-04-03 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

1999-04-02  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

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

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

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

1999-04-02  Erez Zadok  <address@hidden>

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

1999-04-02  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

1999-04-01 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi: documented deplibs.test

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

1999-03-31 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

1999-03-30 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

1999-03-30  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

1999-03-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

1999-03-27 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

1999-03-25  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

1999-03-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

1999-03-24 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

1999-03-24  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

1999-03-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

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

1999-03-21  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

1999-03-20 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

1999-03-19 Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

1999-03-19  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

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

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

1999-03-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

1999-03-18  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

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

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

1999-03-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

1999-03-17  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): add mkstamp
        Reported by Xavier Pianet <address@hidden>

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

1999-03-16  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi: some minor corrections to the "-dlopen self"
        documentation

        * ChangeLog: started new file

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

        * doc/libltdl.texi (linking with installed libtool libraries):
        fixed typo
        * doc/libltdl.texi (libltdl): added documentation for building
        libtool modules and examples how to embed libltdl
        * ltmain.in: don't ignore user-specified run-paths (fixed it
        at the right place)

1999-03-14  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (deplibs_check_method=none): discard -L and -R
        switches when testing whether deplibs contains some library

1999-03-14  Erez Zadok  <address@hidden>

        * config.sub: recognize hppa2.0w, yet to be installed at GNU

        * config.guess: minor update for FreeBSD-elf, yet to be installed
        at GNU

1999-03-14  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (bsdi4*, sys_lib_search_path_spec,
        sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec): fix thinko in variable names; add
        standard directories

        * ltmain.in (exclude_expsyms): exclude symbols before sorting,
        otherwise only the sorted list will have them excluded

        * ltconfig.in (file_magic_cmd, file_magic_test_file, freebsd-elf*,
        bsdi4*): use full pathnames when possible

        * Makefile.am (all-recursive): depend on ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST
        (all-local, check-local): remove, unused

        * doc/PLATFORMS: updated platforms tested on 1.2f-pre; clean up;
        reorder; untabify

        * config.guess, config.sub: updated from GNU common

        * doc/libtool.texi: notes on thread-safety problems of
        libltdl/dlopen on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD

        * ltconfig.in (aix3*, aix4*): GNU ld on AIX is very broken: it
        cannot create working shared libraries.  Print a warning
        suggesting the user not to use it and disable shared libraries.

1999-03-13  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (global_symbol_to_cdecl): was reset before trying
        `symprfx=_', rendering the test with `_' useless

        * doc/libtool.texi (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): eliminate overfull boxes

        * doc/libtool.texi: complete dlopening/libltdl documentation

        * ltconfig.in (osf3*, osf4*, deplibs_check_method): pass_all does
        not really work; use file_magic instead.
        (osf3*, osf4*): customize sys_lib_[dl]search_path_spec

        * ltconfig.in (file_magic_test_file): new variable; if set, it
        will be used as an argument for $file_magic_cmd to test whether
        the regex in deplibs_check_method matches its output
        (file_magic_cmd): use full pathnames whenever possible

        * ltconfig.in (sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec): new variable, that
        lists the system *run-time* search path.  Listed directories are
        not implicitly hard-coded into executables.
        * ltmain.in: use it, but *never* discard -R flags
        * doc/libtool.texi: document it
        * NEWS: ditto
        Reported by Bob Friesenhahn <address@hidden>

        * tests/sh.test: look for `$Xsed' without `$echo "X...'
        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in: fixed a few such occurrences

        * ltmain.in (-static, -all-static): revert March 11's patch, I was
        barking up the wrong tree

1999-03-12  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: removed FILENAME_MAX since LTDL_FILENAME_MAX
        is sufficient and doesn't break HP/UX

1999-03-11  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: (global_symbol_pipe) extract symbol tag from the
        output of NM too
        (global_symbol_to_cdecl): new variable; convert the output of
        global_symbol_pipe to valid C declarations; on HP/UX, convert
        text symbols to function declarations
        * libtool.m4: similar modifications
        * doc/libtool.texi: document new variable
        * ltmain.in: use global_symbol_to_cdecl to generate lt_dlpreopened
        symbols; avoid extracting symbol lists from dlpreopened files
        twice; do not filter symbols from dlpreopened libraries
        * TODO: fixed HP/UX dlpreopening problem

        * ltmain.in (-static, -all-static): set dlopen_self to
        $dlopen_self_static regardless of link_static_flag or pic_flag

        * ltmain.in: FreeBSD bug that needs symbol table compiled with
        -fPIC is fixed in release 3.1; use it only for 2.* and 3.0

1999-03-11  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: when building a library it doesn't make
        sense to remove a relinked program ("lt-" prefix)

1999-03-11  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * mdemo/main.c (main, test_dl, test_dlself): propagate error
        conditions better, to avoid false positives

        * */configure.in: AC_SUBST(LIBTOOL_DEPS)
        * */Makefile.am $(OBJECTS): depend on libtool
        (libtool): rebuild automatically

        * ltconfig.in: set dlopen_* variables to unknown when appropriate
        * ltmain.in: only emit warning about lack of AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN if
        *all* dlopen_* variables are set to unknown

1999-03-11  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: delete the old output files (incl. the relinked binary)
        before linking.

        * ltconfig.in: replaced `configure' with $progname and all
        line numbers with @LINENO@

1999-03-11  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (strdup): cannot return str when it's NULL
        because of const correctness

1999-03-10  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (strdup): always use our own, because the
        standard strdup won't use lt_dlmalloc

        * ltconfig.in (dlfcn.h): function definition may cause warnings;
        define variable instead

        * ltmain.in: properly create an export file for a program,
        avoiding error messages about not finding it

        * TODO: need to document AC_LIBLTDL_*; static self dlopening
        problem fixed

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN): just set lt_dlopen=yes
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): if lt_dlopen=yes, add --enable-dlopen to
        libtool_flags; drop --enable-dlopen-self
        * ltconfig.in: perform all the dirty work of testing for dlopening
        support, because we need platform-dependent equivalents for
        -export-dynamic, for self dlopening, and -static, for static self
        dlopening
        (dlopen_self_static): new configuration variable that is set to
        yes only if static programs can dlopen themselves
        * ltmain.in (-static, -all-static): dlopen_self=dlopen_self_static

        * libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_need_uscore): do not assume
        dlfcn.h and LTDL_LAZY exist; use LTDL_GLOBAL and LTDL_LAZY_OR_NOW.
        This test is likely to fail if self-dlopening does not work,
        especially because we do not link the program with
        -export-dynamic.  Let's just hope that platforms whose symbol
        names start with underscores will also accept underscores for
        dlopen.  We should probably use libtool to compile and link this
        test, so that we can use -export-dynamic.

        * mdemo/Makefile.am (@LIBLTDL@): depend on ../libltdl/config.h

        * configure.in: fix AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS for ltconfig and ltmain.sh
        so that they work if srcdir is relative too

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE, AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE):
        avoid introducing multiple --enable options when re-running
        config.status
        * libltdl/configure.in: if enable_ltdl_* is not set, assume no
        * configure.in: if enable_ltdl_install is not set, enable it

        * libltdl/configure.in: only assume implicit installation if
        libltdl was libtoolized.  If not, print a warning message
        suggesting the use of --enable-ltdl-install or of one of the
        AC_LIBLTDL_* macros.

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): new macro, that does all the
        configure-work that AC_PROG_LIBTOOL used to do; add
        --cache-file=$cache_file to libtool_flags
        (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): call AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, save the cache, run
        ltconfig and reload the cache
        * configure.in: run AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, then set LIBTOOL_FLAGS to
        libtool_flags
        * ltconfig.in: support --cache-file switch.  If it is used, load
        the cache in the beginning and save it just before terminating

        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): run demo-nofast before demo-shared

        * configure.in: create ltconfig and ltmain.sh at the end of
        config.status, if they do not exist.  This fixes the bootstrap
        problem reported by Erez Zadok <address@hidden>

1999-03-10  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: sorted by importance
        * Makefile.am: set LIBTOOL_FLAGS when generating libtool
        * configure.in: check for dlopen support and set LIBTOOL_FLAGS
        accordingly

        * configure.in: fix spacing for --disable-ltdl-install,
        always configure libltdl, add libltdl/acinclude.m4 to
        ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST, disable installation of libltdl if necessary
        * libltdl/Makefile.am: set version info for libltdl.la
        * libltdl/configure.in: don't check whether
        enable_ltdl_convenience/install was set so that libltdl
        can be used as independent package (libltdl.tar.gz) without
        the need to use --enable-ltdl*
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: minor cleanups, allocate the line cache
        dynamically (lt_dlopen)

1999-03-10  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): some preprocessors choke if the `#'
        of `#define' is not in column 1; let's go back to fortran! :-)
        Add #undefs too, to avoid potential warnings or errors.

1999-03-09  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE, AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE):
        renamed convenience libltdl, dropped toinst hack for installable
        * libltdl/Makefile.am: ditto
        * libltdl/configure.in: ditto; abort if none of the macros is used

        * ltmain.in: $output_objdir/$objdir/ -> $output_objdir/lt-

1999-03-09  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): don't hardcode the length of the
        constant strings

1999-03-09  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (install-data-hook): install libltdl as a directory,
        not as a tar-file, so that we do not modify the build tree at make
        install time
        * libtoolize.in (ltdl, ltdl_tar): update

        * configure.in, Makefile.am, NEWS: install libltdl by default

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE, AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE):
        new macros
        * NEWS: ditto
        * libltdl/configure.in: if none of the new macros or configure
        arguments are used, warn and build convenience library only
        * libltdl/Makefile.am: conditionally build convenience libltdl.la
        * mdemo/configure.in: use AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: refer to @LIBLTDL@

1999-03-09  Gary V. Vaughan <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: updated.

1999-03-08  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: extract symbols from program objects to nlist first,
        then translate them to the export_symbols format.  Now it works,
        but it appears to be needlessly extracting the symbol list from
        dlpreopened libraries twice

        * ltmain.in: temporarily disable dlopen_self when linking with
        -static or -all-static, until we figure out how to test whether it
        works at configure time

        * TODO: remember to fix this later

        * tests/build-relink.test: when hell is expected to fail, run it
        within a subshell and redirect stderr to stdout, so that dynamic
        linker errors are only printed in verbose mode

        * ltmain.in (hardcode_libdir_separator, compile_rpath,
        finalize_rpath): only substitute hardcode_libdir_flag_spec if
        hardcode_libdirs is non-empty

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN): do not depend on the existence
        of dlfcn.h nor on the definition of RTLD_LAZY

        * tests/build-relink.test: hellT was renamed to lt-hell

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (@TOINST@/libltdl.la): do not hide the
        command that creates the TOINST directory; remove `-o $@' from the
        LINK command, $(LINK) already contains it.

1999-03-08  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi (tests): documented demo-nofast.test and
        renamed cdemo* to demo*

1999-03-08  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/configure.in, mdemo/Makefile.am:
        libltdl must not be renamed; if there's a problem with the install
        option, let's fix it, not just work around it by breaking code of
        users of the convenience library

        * tests/build-relink.test: link broken libhello.la with at least
        one libtool object

1999-03-08  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * TODO: updated (libltdl build problem fixed)
        * doc/libtool.texi (libltdl interface): removed the line which
        promised that lt_dlopen will return NULL if it can't resolve all
        symbols
        * libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/configure.in: fixed build problem:
        renamed the convenience library to libltdlc.la and the
        installed version to libltdl.la
        * ltmain.in (wrapper script): replaced the "T" suffix of the program
        file name with a "lt-" prefix
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: use libltdlc.la
        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/demo-nofast.test: added demo to
        test --enable-fast-install=no

1999-03-07  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): run hardcode before build-relink
        trashes libhello.la
        * tests/hardcode.test (need_prefix): set to yes so that _inst is
        not removed

        * ltmain.in (compile_command): append finalize search path to
        compile search path

        * tests/build-relink.test: new; check shlibpath_overrides_runpath
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): add build-relink.test; remove
        hardcode.test duplicates
        * doc/libtool.texi: document it

        * ltmain.in (relink_command): do not prepend cd `pwd` to it, the
        scripts already enters the correct directory, and expanding the
        pathname would prevent the build tree from moving

        * ltconfig.in (enable_fast_install): force it to no only if we
        need relink; in the other cases, set it to needless
        * ltmain.in (fast_install): if needless, set relink_command empty
        * doc/libtool.texi (fast_install, shlibpath_overrides_runpath):
        document the new behavior

        * ltconfig.in (enable_fast_install): test whether it can be forced
        off after shlibpath_overrides_runpath and enable_shared are set

1999-03-07  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * TODO: updated
        * NEWS: updated

        * TODO: scheduled some items for next release/future
        * demo/configure.in: use AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
        * libtool.m4: added AC_ENABLE/DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL macro
        * ltconfig.in: added --disable-fast-install flag
        * ltmain.in: partially reverted Alexandre's patch and implemented
        on-demand linking in such a way that the old developer-friendly
        linking style is optional,
        don't hardcode library paths that are in the system search path,
        fixed a typo in lib_search_path,
        implemented -export-symbols-regex for programs

1999-03-06  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (LTDL_LAZY_OR_NOW): renamed from LTDL_NOW; prefer
        LAZY loading because it's much faster and NOW is apparently
        partially broken on FreeBSD
        Reported by Archie Cobbs <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (archive_expsym_cmds, solaris, without_gnu_ld):
        $lib.exp already starts with $objdir/
        Reported by Godmar Back <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (freebsd): compile symbol table file with pic_flag
        only on FreeBSD and when not static linking; it's been causing
        trouble on platforms such as OpenBSD.

1999-02-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (cygwin): s/\\(mingw\\|cygwin\\)32/\\1/g.  Must've
        missed this file when I changed to cygnus' new sanction name.

        * ltconfig.in (sub_uncdrive): removed.  This won't work with
        the next version of cygwin.
        (sub_uncdir): removed. We use <drive>:/path/to/executable now.
        * libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LD): removed sub_uncdrive and sub_uncdir.

1999-02-25  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * TODO: added items for next alpha release, ILD etc.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: removed unnecessary check from presym_sym,
        fixed bug in lt_dlclose, allow lt_dlopenext(NULL),
        set deplibs for lt_dlopen(NULL)

1999-02-24  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (file_magic_regex): sed `10q' is faster than `11,$d'

1999-02-22  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (dlopen, dlopen_self): default is unknown
        * ltmain.in: fixed -dlopen self, print a warning
        if -dlopen is used without AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: use -dlopen self

1999-02-22  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: added missing mkdir $progdir for on-demand executable

        * ltmain.in: create on-demand executable as $progdir/$$-$program,
        and rename it to $progdir/$program only when it's finished, to
        avoid race conditions.  We can still get the program linked
        multiple times, if multiple instances are started simultaneously
        and the program does not exist, but they are very unlikely to
        interfere with each other.  There's still a possibility that one
        process removes the $program another has just created, and doesn't
        replace it before the other tries to run it, in a system whose
        `mv' is not atomic, so it will $rm then $mv, but so what? :-)
        Locking files have been avoided to prevent dead-locks in case they
        are left over after a reboot or crash.

        * TODO: removed ILD, soon to be merged, and added convenience
        libraries docs

        * ltconfig.in (irix5*, irix6*, shlibpath_overides_runpath): yes

        * ltmain.in: remove on-demand executable in the proper place, and
        just warn if it can't be removed; add wrapper code to test whether
        the install-executable is newer than the build-executable, to
        relink it when it appears to be out-of-date

        * libltdl/configure.in: check for dld.h
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: include dld.h
        (dld_open) it's spelled memory_error, not no_memory_error
        Reported by Stefan Burstroem <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: fix typos in my last change (s/ocmpile/compile/)

1999-02-21  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): use newhandle instead of handle
        when dlopening the executable
        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN): removed the redundant "yes: "
        prefix for lt_cv_dlopen, renamed lt_cv_dlopen_LIBS
        to lt_cv_dlopen_libs (more consistent)
        * ltmain.in: implemented -dl[pre]open self, necessary for
        lt_dlopen(NULL), generation of exported symbols was broken

1999-02-20  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: avoid duplication of -L switches, it sometimes breaks
        IRIX 5.2's linker

        * ltconfig.in (freebsd*, finish_cmds): expand objformat here
        Reported by Vladimir Kushnir <address@hidden>

1999-02-20  Vladimir Kushnir <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (freebsd-elf*, need_version, need_lib_prefix): no
        (freebsd-elf*, library_names_spec): add $libname.so instead of
        $libname.so$versuffix; add $libname$release.so

1999-02-20  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi: remove ticks from menu items; it breaks TeX
        Reported by Erez Zadok <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: fixes for export-symbols dry-run

        * ltconfig.in (shlibpath_overrides_runpath): new variable;
        determines whether LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent can be used to
        override a hard-coded library search path; default to unknown
        (linux-gnu*): set it to no
        (solaris*, sunos4*): set it to yes
        * ltmain.in (build_libdirs_flags, build_libdirs, build_rpath): if
        shlibpath_overrides_runpath is not yes, arrange that wrapper
        scripts create, on demand, programs that use uninstalled libraries

        * doc/libtool.texi: document it

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN): check for dlopen in libc before
        trying in dl.  Add the actual dlopening type to lt_cv_dlopen, and
        add any needed libraries to lt_cv_dlopen_LIBS.  Add test for
        MS-Windows' LoadLibrary.  Check whether a program can dlopen
        itself only if we really have dlopen(), not some equivalent
        function, but leave room for testing with other mechanisms.
        (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): assume some form of dlopen, but not
        dlopen(NULL), is available if AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN is not used, for
        backward compatibility.

1999-02-20  Archie Cobbs  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): use newhandle instead of handle
        where appropriate, when dlopening a non-libtool library

1999-02-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (export_symbols_cmds): renamed from
        export_symbols_cmd.
        (cygwin, mingw): Be sure to compile the ltdll.c object before
        extracting the exported symbol list.  Extract only the names
        of the exported symbols from the def file [otherwise we might
        run into trouble with -export-symbols-regex].
        (archive_expsym_cmds): Regenerate the def file from the symbol
        export list.
        (delay_variable_subst): New sed expression to allow us to delay
        evaluation of $foo in a double_quote_subst evaluated variable by
        using \$.
        * ltmain.in (export_symbols_cmds): evaluate each ~ delimitted cmd
        separately.
        * doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): new paragraph to
        explain the difference between _cmd and _cmds suffixes for
        variable names.
        (export_symbols_cmds): renamed from export_symbols_cmd.

1999-02-18  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (ld_shlibs): move -soname and similar flags to the
        end of archive_cmds and archive_expsym_cmds, so as to prevent
        gcc's collect2 from inserting an object file between -soname and
        the library name

        * ltconfig.in (openbsd*, netbsd*, library_names_spec): append
        alternate name without ${release}, otherwise build fails when
        -release is used

1999-02-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (archive{,_sym}_commands): Be careful not to
        re-export the dll entry points address@hidden, address@hidden and
        address@hidden to avoid bugs with the wrong entry
        function being called with inter-dll dependencies.
        Reported by DJ Delorie <address@hidden>
        * THANKS: Added DJ Delorie, since his code inspired the impgen.c
        program and because he has patiently answered all of the
        irritating dll and win32 questions I have fired at him.

        * ltmain.in (version_type):  Oops.  Irix versioning implies that
        major version numbers are 1 based (not zero based).  Fixed.

        * ltmain.in (version_type): Implement irix versioning.
        * ltconfig.in (irix{5,6}*): Use new irix shared object versioning.
        * TODO: remove irix versioning from TODO list.

        * ltmain.in (impgen.c): Added a new embedded C file that can be
        used under win32 to extract a def file (symbol export list) from a
        dll that has none.  Code to use it might need to wait for the ILD
        merge before it will be useful...

1999-02-18  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * TODO: updated
        * autogen: only libltdl needs autoheader
        * doc/libtool.texi (link mode): documented -export-symbols-regex
        and updated -export-symbols
        * doc/libtool.texi (script contents): documented
        always_export_symbols, export_symbols_cmd, exclude_expsyms,
        include_expsyms, dlopen and dlopen_self
        more detailed description of need_lib_prefix
        * ltconfig.in: a "'" was missing in the default value
        of export_symbols_cmd
        * ltmain.in: implemented -export-symbols-regex

1999-02-17  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: (freebsd2*, sunos4*, exclude_expsyms): exclude
        _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
        * ltmain.in: implement exclude_expsyms with egrep

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlmalloc, lt_dlfree): SunOS' cc can't cope
        with argument lists, we __P even in the definition

1999-02-15  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * cdemo/Makefile.am: renamed *foo1 to *foo, removed $(MATH_LIB)
        * cdemo/foo1.c: renamed to foo.c
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: eliminated lt_dltype, in presym_open():
        search for @PROGRAM@ if filename == 0, in lt_dlopen():
        fixed bug for filename == 0
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: use __P macro for lt_dlmalloc/free
        * libtool.m4: new macro AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN: checks for dlopen
        and dlopen(NULL) support
        * ltconfig.in: added new variables dlopen and dlopen_self,
        --enable-dlopen[-self] flags for AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
        * ltmain.in: use dlopen[_self], dlpreopen files if there's no
        dlopen support, build lt_preloaded_symbols only if
        -dl[pre]open was used, include program symbols if -export-dynamic
        was specified and there's no dlopen(NULL) support
        * mdemo/configure.in: use AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
        * mdemo/main.c: demonstrate lt_dlopen(0)

1999-02-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * demo/dlmain.c (_WIN32): The lt_symlist structure is now const,
        so my original horrible temporary win32 hack no longer worked.
        Here is a new horrible temporary hack to prevent helldl from SEGVing
        on win32.  I will fix this properly when we figure out how to do
        data exports from dlls.

1999-02-14  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIBM): do not set MATHLIB or AC_SUBST it,
        this has a negative side-effect of causing automake to add MATHLIB
        to every single Makefile.  Let's use plain AC_CHECK_LIB, so that
        LIBS get set, until we find a better alternative
        * *demo/Makefile.am: remove $(MATHLIB)

        * libltdl/configure.in: add a DESCRIPTION argument to AC_DEFINEs
        where appropriate, so as to get rid of acconfig.h
        * libltdl/acconfig.h: removed

1999-02-13  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * *demo/Makefile.am: use $(MATHLIB)
        * *demo/configure.in: use AC_CHECK_LIBM
        * doc/libtool.texi: renamed file_magic_command to file_magic_cmd,
        renamed archive_sym_cmds to archive_expsym_cmds
        * ltconfig.in: ditto
        * ltmain.in: ditto
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: use lt_dlmalloc/free
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: define lt_dlmalloc/free
        * libtool.m4: added AC_CHECK_LIBM macro
        * ltconfig.in: renamed archive_sym_cmds to archive_expsym_cmds,
        added always_export_symbols, export_symbols_cmd, exclude_expsyms,
        include_expsyms, removed archive_cmds for cygwin/mingw and AIX,
        on Solaris store the exported symbols list in objdir
        * ltmain.in: allow -export-symbols for modules, use thread_safe flag,
        add include_expsyms to the exported symbols

1999-02-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.h (_LTDLL_EXTERN): libltdl is no longer linked as a
        shared library, so the _declspec's were preventing the linker from
        resolving symbols on win32.  They have been removed now.

1999-02-12  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: don't try to read objdir/libname.la before it is
        created!

        * ltmain.in: create libname.lai at link time, not at install time,
        but still create it at install time if it is missing
        Reported by Akim Demaille <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (tryall_dlopen): strcmp filenames was reversed

1999-02-11  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * autogen: libltdl needs autoheader
        * demo/Makefile.am: renamed hell.debug to hell.static
        (we're demonstrating static linking, not debugging)
        * tests/demo*: ditto
        * doc/libtool.texi (libltdl): documented new lt_dlopen(NULL)
        feature
        * libltdl/acconfig.h: required for config.h
        * libltdl/configure.in: use config.h
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: use config.h, support lt_dlopen(NULL)
        (returns a handle for the program itself)
        * ltconfig.in: minor reformatting
        * ltmain.in: in lt_preloaded_symbols always define
        the program's symbols first, for -export-dynamic list all
        program symbols together, -export-symbols was broken for
        programs, minor reformatting
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: renamed mdemo.debug to mdemo.static
        * tests/mdemo*: ditto, mdemo.test was completely broken

1999-02-10  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (irix5*, irix6*, osf3*, osf4*): do not use
        -set_version in archive_cmds if verstring is empty
        (irix6*, shlibpath_var, sys_lib_search_path-spec,
        deplibs_check_method): set appropriate values depending on
        selected ABI, -32, -n32 or -64, as set in LD by libtool.m4
        (uts4*): remove dot between .so and versuffix

1999-02-08  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (irix5*, irix6*, deplibs_check_method): use
        file_magic for inter-library dependency tracking

        * ltconfig.in (irix5*, hardcode_libdir_separator): set it to a
        colon, because on IRIX 5 only the last -rpath switch prevails, and
        it can be a list of colon-separated directories.  This change will
        affect irix6 too, but that's not a problem.

        * ltconfig.in (irix5*, library_names_spec): add soname_spec,
        otherwise we can't dlopen

1999-02-08  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: according to Marcus Sundberg <address@hidden>
        HP/UX, IRIX, OpenBSD, Digital Unix and SunOS support
        need_version=no and need_lib_prefix=no,
        fixed a bug in Solaris' archive_sym_cmds

1999-02-04  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (ac_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe): accept TAB in
        addition to space as separator, and allow more than one space
        between the symbol code and the symbol name; HP/UX's nm, for
        example, uses two spaces
        * ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): ditto
        (bsdi4, deplibs_check_method): variable name was misspelled
        * libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_preloaded_symbols): rewrite
        test, so as not to depend on the way global_symbol_pipe is
        initialized; the current test would get false positives, as
        global_symbol_pipe was initialized `x=""', not `x='

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (find_module): initialize filename if dir is NULL
        Reported by Godmar Back <address@hidden>

1999-02-04  Godmar Back  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopenext): missing space for terminator when
        allocating memory for shlib_ext

1999-02-03  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopenext): tmp would be trashed if shlib_ext
        was longer than 3 characters

1999-02-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: new config.guess returns *-*-cygwin now instead of
        *-*-cygwin32.  sed -e 's%\(cygwin\|mingw\)32%\1%g' ltconfig.in
        * ltmain.in:   sed -e 's%\(cygwin\|mingw\)32%\1%g' ltmain.in

        * ltconfig.in (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec, allow_undefined_flag,
        archive_cmds, archive_sym_cmds, old_archive_from_new_cmds):
        removed duplication of config by assuming that `test $with_gcc =
        yes' implies gnu ld, otherwise MSVC++ (which I haven't tested
        since I inheritted the code from Ian Lance Taylor btw!) is implied.

1999-01-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Reverted this change of Alexandre's from the
        1999-01-25; "don't try to use .o instead of .lo just because
        there's no PIC flag.  It loses if --disable-static, and there's
        not much point if we're referring to the same file anyway...",
        because not all linkers will accept .lo object names.
        * ltmain.in: In the case where --disable-static is specified (as
        noted in Alexandre's log entry), we just link some .o files to
        prevent the original error.
        Reported by Andrey Slepuhin <address@hidden>

1999-01-27  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libtoolize.in: search for A[MC]_PROG_LIBTOOL, not
        AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
        Reported by Jeff Garzik <address@hidden>

1999-01-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * THANKS: Now that we have a policy, applied it to the existing
        list.  This in no way demeans the work of those people removed
        from the THANKS file, who are still credited in the ChangeLogs and
        without who's work, libtool would not work so well on many
        platforms, but serves to highlight the outstanding and continued
        contribution the remaining people have made.  And I quote, "We
        reserve THANKS for people who have made major contributions, and
        leave the credit to the others for the ChangeLog only."

        * THANKS: added Sam Vilain.
        * ltconfig.in ($echo):  When using printf to replace echo the shell
        expands %s\n to %sn.  Changed to use "%s\n" (with quotes).
        Reported by Sam Vilain <address@hidden>

1999-01-27  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (find_file): fix endless loop condition
        (find_module): filename allocation was off by 1

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (distclean-local): renamed from
        distclean-hook, that didn't work

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen, non-.la): find_file now returns 0 on
        failure

        * Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): some broken makes don't like
        macros in targets; replace $(srcdir) with @srcdir@
        * configure.in (ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST): same problem; expand $srcdir

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (@TOINST@/libltdl.la): if installation is
        enabled, create to-be-installed libltdl.la within @TOINST@
        directory
        (noinst_LTLIBRARIES): even if installation is enabled, build
        convenience libltdl.la, otherwise builds of random packages may
        fail if the user happens to enable installation
        (distclean-hook): wipe out $(TOINST)
        * libltdl/configure.in: set TOINST and LIBLIBS as appropriate;
        don't set NOINSTLIBS any more
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: use libltdl.la

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (find_file): oops, filenamesize was miscomputed

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (find_file): allocate filename dynamically

        * libltdl/configure.in (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): automake does not
        recognize it and fail, better keep using AM_PROG_LIBTOOL until the
        next release of automake
        * demo/configure.in, cdemo/configure.in: ditto
        * depdemo/configure.in, mdemo/configure.in: ditto

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: make all global strings char[], not char*; check
        that all calls to malloc() are properly cast
        (strdup, strchr, strrchr, trim, free_vars): declare as inline
        (find_module): allocate filename dynamically; support null dir
        (free_vars): free dir and name only if non-null
        (lt_dlopen): keep dir as NULL if not given; fix expression that
        calculated the size of name; only free and name if non-null
        (lt_dlopenext): allocate tmp dynamically

        * configure.in (pkgdatadir): expand ${PACKAGE} at configure-time,
        just like automake does

        * configure.in (pkgdatadir): define pkgdatadir explicitly, and
        comment that automake does not need it, but libtoolize does

        * Makefile.am (aclocaldir): do not set it explicitly, automake
        does already

        * configure.in (TIMESTAMP): use mkstamp here too

1999-01-27  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * cdemo/configure.in: renamed AM_PROG_LIBTOOL to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
        * demo/configure.in: likewise
        * depdemo/configure.in: likewise
        * libltdl/configure.in: likewise
        * mdemo/configure.in: likewise
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: in find_module() check whether libdir is defined,
        tryall_dlopen(): move deallocation of an already opened handle
        to lt_dlopen(), allocate the directory in lt_dlopen() dynamically,
        minor cleanups, fixed memory leak (name)
        * libtool.m4: renamed all AM_ macros to AC_ and added aliases for
        compatibilty, updated AC_SYS_NM_PARSE (no undefined symbols,
        don't count the symbols)
        * ltconfig.in: added thread_safe_flag_spec (not used yet),
        added generic variable for linker options "linkopts" in
        all archive_cmds
        * ltmain.in: added -thread-safe flag (unused)

1999-01-26  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (LTCONFIG_VERSION): damn!, adding TIMESTAMP doesn't
        always work, because then different ChangeLog timestamps fail to
        pass the version test.  Instead of forcing both ltconfig and
        ltmain.sh to be updated every time ChangeLog changes, better
        revert it

        * ltconfig.in (LTCONFIG_VERSION): add TIMESTAMP, remove
        explicit quotes and add it to the list of variables to quote

        * ltmain.in: reworded `dropped inter-library dependencies'
        message, and added a warning about inter-library dependencies even
        for non-module builds

1999-01-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (install-data-hook): Don't show the if expression
        that tests for gzip with a conditional error message; just do it
        quietly and show the error if it fails, or the next action if it
        succeeds.

        * configure.in:  It seems Alexandre accidentally removed the
        AC_SUBST(pkgdatadir) line recently which breaks libtoolize.
        Reverted that small change.

1999-01-25  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (find_module): test old_name and dlname for NULL,
        not len==0

        * libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_objdir): yes, appending the "/"
        in configure.in was much simpler
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (objdir): ditto

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (objdir): string collation isn't portable; strcat
        "/" explicitly.  Or should this be moved to configure.in?

1999-01-25  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: allocate the variables in lt_dlopen() dynamically

1999-01-25  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (file_magic): use egrep instead of expr to support
        more general regular expressions
        (file_regex): remove it; the name is misleading, it's not used
        anywhere, and probably will never be
        * ltconfig.in, doc/libtool.texi: ditto
        * ltconfig.in (linux-gnu*, deplibs_check_method): extend regex to
        support `LSB dynamic lib' in the output of `file'
        Reported by Scott D. Heavner <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (dependency_libs, xrpath): add -R switches to
        dependency_libs only just before creating the .la file; they
        should not be passed to the C compiler or linker at
        library-creation time, since we don't know whether it is supported

        * ltconfig.in (freebsd2.2*, hardcode_minus_L): for FreeBSD 2.2.6,
        this must be `no'

        * mkstamp: move the sed script to extract revision and date
        information into a separate shell-script, so that we can break
        lines between commands; FreeBSD's sed doesn't like `;' after `t'
        Reported by Axel Thimm <address@hidden>
        * Makefile.am: use mkstamp
        * THANKS: added Axel Thimm

        * ltmain.in: don't try to use .o instead of .lo just because
        there's no PIC flag.  It loses if --disable-static, and there's
        not much point if we're referring to the same file anyway...

        * ltmain.in (pass_all=none, droppeddeps): set only if deplibs was
        non-empty

1999-01-24  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: minor bugfixes, append a "/" the search
        directory only if necessary
        * ltconfig.in: added support for FreeBSD >= 3.0
        (patch from Kurt D. Zeilenga)
        * THANKS: added Kurt D. Zeilenga

1999-01-24  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi (libltdl): list supported dlopen mechanisms,
        added function lt_dlopenext(), removed reference to
        LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS in LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: partially reverted Alexandre's dynamic string
        allocation change (it was not necessary and the code was unreadable),
        cleanups, removed usr_search_path_size, renamed usr_search_path
        to user_search_path, in find_module() also check for moved
        modules, merged find_file() and find_library(),
        added lt_dlopenext(), in lt_dladdsearchdir() no longer reset
        the search path if 'search_dir' == NULL and don't use realloc()
        (might not be available on all platforms),
        removed __P((void)) in the declaration of lt_dlgetsearchpath()
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: added lt_dlopenext()
        * ltconfig.in: AIX archive commands were broken,
        fixed a MAJOR bug in global_symbol_pipe which caused
        "demo-shared.test;demo-make.test" to fail (libtool must not extract
        undefined symbols of libraries, i.e. symcode must not contain 'U')
        * tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): "make distclean" in cdemo, too

1999-01-22  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): add ChangeLog Revision to
        TIMESTAMP
        * configure.in: get values of PACKAGE and VERSION set by
        AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, and extract only TIMESTAMP from the ChangeLog

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): if we're reusing a previously opened
        handle, don't reset its name nor add it to the list, and free the
        name we have allocated
        Reported by Edouard G. Parmelan <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (ltconfig, ltmain.sh, TIMESTAMP): let's not assume
        anything about the format of the date, just that it does not
        contain `$'

1999-01-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * configure.in (date): echo the version number during
        configuration, and show $date for cvs versions.

        * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/ltconfig): Oops.  cvs co keyword
        expansion ate the sed expression! Changed sed separator to '%'
        because there are '/' in the date.  Added missing '\(' to search
        expression.  Inserted a null string to stop cvs from expanding it
        next time =)O|
        ($(srcdir)/ltmain.sh): ditto.

1999-01-22  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (TSDEPS_DIST): dist-time dependencies for timestamps
        (timestamps, update-timestamps): check whether TSDEPS_DIST are
        up-to-date and update ltconfig and ltmain.sh if needed
        (ltconfig, ltmain.sh): depend on TSDEPS; replace @TIMESTAMP@ with
        the Date tag in the ChangeLog
        (TSDEPS): empty unless overridden by update-timestamps
        * ltconfig.in, ltmain.in (TIMESTAMP): append timestamp to most
        references to VERSION

1999-01-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (ild): Revert the change which allowed libtool to
        link libraries with dependencies on .la libs.
        * NEWS: Removed reference to win32, incase 1.3 ships before
        ild is ready.
        * doc/PLATFORMS: Removed i686-pc-cygwin32, for the same reason.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Removed win32 refs, for the same reason.

1999-01-22  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (Xsed): add 1 to Xsed definition that goes into
        temporary wrapper scripts
        * libtool.m4: we don't have Xsed here, expand it manually
        Reported by Pavel Roskin <address@hidden>

1999-01-22  Edouard G. Parmelan  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (finalize_hardcode_libdirs, finalize_rpath): in
        platforms that use -rpath, programs must be finalized at
        installation time, otherwise build-tree programs will
        prefer installed libraries over build-tree ones

1999-01-22  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * mdemo/Makefile.am (../libltdl/libtool): if it does not exist,
        the sub-make for libltdlc.la will take care of it, but we must at
        least provide an empty rule for it, otherwise the sub-make will
        never run

        * demo/configure.in, demo/Makefile.am (DLPREOPEN): reverted; it
        didn't make any difference.

1999-01-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * THANKS: Added Chris Laas <address@hidden>

        From Chris Laas <address@hidden>
        * ltmain.in (compile):  corrected a typo in compile mode which
        caused "gcc: unrecognized option -c-fPIC" errors due to a missing
        space.

1999-01-21  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/configure.in: reintroduce code to detect native library
        extension
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): if a .la file name is given, that's
        all.  Otherwise, lt_dlopen now tries to append .la first.  If this
        fails, it tries the given filename, and, at last, tries to append
        the native library extension to the given filename.
        * doc/libtool.texi (lt_dlopen): explain new lookup strategy

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: major rewrite to avoid almost all fixed-size
        buffers; only `tmp' in lt_dlopen remained.  But the code got ugly
        :-(

        * ltconfig.in (linux-gnu*, finish_cmds): remove erroneous backslash

        * demo/configure.in: set DLPREOPEN to -dlopen if we don't have
        shared libraries
        * demo/Makefile.am (DLPREOPEN): use instead of -dlpreopen
        (STATIC): use $(STATIC), not @STATIC@
        * mdemo/Makefile.am (STATIC): ditto

        * tests/demo-shared.test, tests/demo-static.test: new tests
        * tests/mdemo-shared.test, tests/mdemo-static.test: ditto
        * tests/Makefile.am: ditto
        * doc/libtool.texi: document them
        * demo/Makefile.am, mdemo/Makefile.am (STATIC): do not use
        -static unconditionally, it can't work with --disable-static
        * demo/configure.in, mdemo/configure.in: check whether libtool was
        configured to build static libraries and, if not, set STATIC to an
        empty string

1999-01-20  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (module, droppeddeps): if libtool could not satisfy
        all dependencies of a module, it will only build a static version
        of it, and display a warning message

1999-01-20  Erez Zadok <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (aix4*, with_gcc, archive_cmds): fix typo in Andrey
        Slepuhin's last patch

1999-01-20  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (@DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@): work around Ultrix /bin/sh bug
        * tests/nomode.test (must specify a MODE): ditto
        Reported by Rainer Orth <address@hidden>
        * THANKS: Added Rainer Orth

1999-01-20  Rainer Orth  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in: No known version of Solaris 2 hardcoded -L paths.

1999-01-20  Erez Zadok <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: s/n\'t/ not/
        * doc/PLATFORMS: updates for sunos4/m68k and aix

1999-01-20  Andrey Slepuhin  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (aix4*): check for reworked collect2, always pass
        -bnoentry option to linker when building a shared library

1999-01-20  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (file_magic): follow soft-links before running `file'
        on the candidate library; try to avoid entering endless loop
        Suggested by Nix <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (linux*, solaris*, bsdi4*, sys_lib_search_path):
        remove expansion of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        * ltmain.in (lib_search_path): append the expansion of $shlibpath_var
        * doc/libtool.texi: document it

        * THANKS: Added Steven Schultz

1999-01-20  Steven M. Schultz <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (bsdi4*, check_shared_deplibs_method): file_magic
        (bsdi4*, sys_lib_search_path): add /shlib and other dirs

1999-01-20  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * cdemo/main.c (main): use K&R definition syntax
        * mdemo/main.c (test_dl, main): ditto
        (test_dl): casts return value of lt_dlsym to appropriate types

        * ltmain.in (dlsyms): #define const to nothing if not __STDC__

        * ltconfig.in (global_symbol_pipe): #define const to nothing if
        not __STDC__

        * demo/dlmain.c (main): cast s->address to the appropriate pointer
        types, otherwise StunOS4's cc refuses to compile it

        * ltconfig.in (sunos4*, without_gnu_ld, with_gcc, archive_cmds):
        add -fPIC, because libgcc is multilibbed, and we want the PIC
        version of it for shared libraries, otherwise ld complains

        * demo/dlmain.c (main): add missing const to declaration of name

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (find_module): remove the libdir argument, and
        try to  open library only as old_name and dir/dlname
        (lt_dlopen): use `installed' variable in .la file to decide
        whether to use libdir or objdir

        * demo/configure.in (AC_C_CONST): added, for portability
        * mdemo/configure.in (AC_C_CONST): ditto
        * libltdl/configure.in (AC_C_CONST, AC_C_INLINE): ditto
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (LTDL_FILENAME_MAX): use FILENAME_MAX if defined
        (FILENAME_MAX): replace all explicit uses with LTDL_FILENAME_MAX
        (presym_free_symlists, trim): don't return void, for portability
        (lt_dlgetsearchpath): replace (void) with __P((void))

        * ltmain.in (compile): when compiling both PIC and non-PIC, write
        the PIC object to .libs/.lo and only rename it to .lo after
        compiling the .o, to avoid fooling make dependencies

        * mdemo/main.c (LTDL_PREOPENED_SYMBOLS): remove

1999-01-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * TODO: Added inter-library deps for ltlibs.

        * THANKS: Added Vladimir Kushnir.

1999-01-20  Vladimir Kushnir  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (freebsd3*): Define `deplibs_check_method' and
        `file_magic_command' for freebsd-elf.

1999-01-20  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * TODO: should we also build a `static' copy of a convenience
        library out of .o files?

        * ltconfig.in (bsdi4*, netbsd*, uts4*, library_names_spec,
        soname_spec): removed duplicate dot before $major
        Reported by Steven M. Schultz <address@hidden> (bsdi4*)

        * THANKS: added Manfred Weichel

1999-01-20  Manfred Weichel  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (sysv5*): same as sysv4.3*

1999-01-20  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): properly detect error condition when
        full pathname of non-libtool library is provided

        * libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_preloaded_symbols,
        HAVE_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): test whether we support -dl*open
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (!HAVE_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS, lt_preloaded_symbols):
        define it to an empty list if libtool won't generate it, so as to
        avoid link errors.  This will cause silent dlopening failures, but
        maybe this is better than failing to link the program...

        * libltdl/ltdl.h (LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): remove it; better to
        declare lt_preloaded_symbols
        * doc/libtool.texi (LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): ditto

        * ltmain.in (dlpredeps): removed, reverting 1999-01-17's change

1999-01-19  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (Makefile): depend on libtool

        source file to work around FreeBSD problem

        * Makefile.am (check-local): depend on libltdl/Makefile

        * mdemo/Makefile.am (mdemo_LDFLAGS, mdemo_LDADD): moved -dlopen
        flags to LDADD
        * doc/libtool.texi (Using Automake): how to add -dlopen to LDADD

1999-01-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        From Andrey Slepuhin <address@hidden>
        * ltmain.in (hardcode_action) Oops, misapplied the patch!

        * ltconfig.in (compile_dependencylbs): removed this
        variable and pick up the library dependencies from $deplibs.
        * ltmain.in (compile_dependencylibs): removed this
        variable, use deplibs to hold these dependencies.

        From Andrey Slepuhin <address@hidden>
        * ltmain.in (hardcode_action) make sure deplibs is set to include
        all the extra libs added to compile_command.

1999-01-18  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (LIBTOOL_DEPS): set it

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libtool): use it
        * doc/libtool.texi (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): document it

        * Makefile.am (libltdl.tar.gz): don't create it as part of the
        build, since it is likely to become stale if we do
        (install-data-hook): create and install libltdl.tar.gz, without
        depending on GNU tar
        Reported by Manfred Weichel <address@hidden>

1999-01-17  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am: added libltdl.tar.gz to CLEANFILES
        * ChangeLog: some reformatting
        * TODO: documentation updates
        * doc/libtool.texi: added preliminary libltdl documentation,
        updated dlopen and -module documentation,
        renamed -avoid-versioning to -avoid-version
        documented the libtool script variables compiler_c_o,
        compiler_o_lo, need_locks, old_postuninstall_cmds,
        postuninstall_cmds, sys_lib_search_path_spec,
        fix_srcfile_path, objdir, objext, libext,
        documented the two new flags (--ltdl[-tar]) of libtoolize
        * libltdl/Makefile.am: incremented the version, removed
        libtool dependency so that it can be build independently
        * libltdl/configure.in: removed LTDL_SHLIB_EXT hack,
        set version to 1.0, use AM_MAINTAINER_MODE,
        DLPREOPEN is always supported, check for libtool's objdir variable
        (LTDL_OBJDIR)
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: some cleanups (moved constants to the beginning
        of the file and prefixed all of them with LTDL_, minor optimizations
        in find_file() and find_module()), renamed lt_dlpreopen* to
        lt_dlpreload* for consistency, removed LTDL_SHLIB_EXT hack,
        we don't need unistd.h, DLPREOPEN is _always_ supported,
        reverted Alexandre's lt_dlpreopen_default_ change,
        try to open the not-installed module before the installed one,
        replaced lt_dlsearchpath() with lt_dladdsearchdir(),
        lt_dlsetsearchpath() and lt_dlgetsearchpath()
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: renamed lt_dlpreopen* to lt_dlpreload*
        for consistency, removed the declaration of lt_preloaded_symbols
        (should be imported by programs),
        reverted Alexandre's lt_dlpreopen_default_ change and added
        two new macros LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS and

        * mdemo/main.c: use LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS and
        LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS()

1999-01-17  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (wlarc): set to either '${wl}' or an empty string,
        depending on whether archive_cmds runs CC or LD
        (gnu_ld=yes, whole_archive_flag_spec): "$wlarc" instead of '${wl}'

        * mdemo/Makefile.am (../libltdl/libltdlc.la): depend on
        ../libtool, because ../libltdl/libtool depends on it
        (mdemo_debug_*): copy from mdemo_*, adding -static to LDFLAGS

        * ltmain.in (dlpredeps): append dependencies from dlopened modules
        (but not dlpreopened ones) after all explicitly linked libraries

        * ltconfig.in (need_lib_prefix, need_version,
        deplibs_check_method): default to unknown, so that we're
        remembered that this needs porting; unknown is interpreted as yes,
        yes and none, respectively
        (freebsd2*, freebsd3*, sunos4*, need_version): set to yes
        (freebsd2*, freebsd3*, library_names_spec): libraries without a
        version number are not used by `ld'; add $versuffix;
        Reported by Ben Jackson <address@hidden>
        * ltmain.in (deplibs_check_method): alias unknown to none
        (need_version): if vinfo was not provided and release info was,
        zero out versuffix only if we don't need_version.
        * doc/libtool.texi: document what `unknown' means

        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlpreopen_default): reverted to a macro
        without arguments, that calls lt_dlpreopen_default_ with
        lt_dlpreloaded_symbols
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlpreopen_default_): renamed from
        lt_dlpreopen_default
        (find_module) tryall_dlopen old_name first, so that we don't
        override statically linked symbols with dlopened ones

1999-01-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        From Andrey Slepuhin <address@hidden>
        * libtoolize.in (cd $pkgdatadir): Make sure we return the the
        working directory when this is done.

        From Andrey Slepuhin <address@hidden>
        * ltconfig.in (aix): Use shared library support correctly on
        aix4*, and tweak the config for aix3.
        * NEWS: added aix3 and aix4 to list of hosts with improved
        support.
        * THANKS: added Andrey Slepuhin <address@hidden>.

1999-01-15  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am (@DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@): added a second '$'
        before abs_scrdir, removed ltconfig and ltmain.sh from
        EXTRA_DIST (automake distributes them by default)

1999-01-14  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * autogen: moved faking of the libtool scripts before
        the call of automake, so that ltconfig and ltmain.sh
        are included in the distribution
        * ltconfig.in: when checking whether PIC is supported assume
        only on HP/UX that warnings during compilation mean that
        PIC is not supported (Thanks to Ron O'Hara)
        * THANKS: added Ron O'Hara

1999-01-14  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * Makefile.am: Moved ltconfig and ltmain.sh back into srcdir, and
        add them to the distribution.  Added work-around if `mv -f' fails.
        fix @AINCLUDE_M4_LIST@ and @DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@ for relative and
        absolute specifications of srcdir

1999-01-14  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: added variable symbol prefix, added user-defined
        library search path (can be set using lt_dlsearchpath()),
        added default_preloaded_symbols which are independent of
        lt_dlinit/exit
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: added lt_dlsearchpath() and
        lt_dlpreopen_default()
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: use -export-dynamic until libtool
        and libltdl are able to handle module dependencies

1999-01-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * THANKS: added Mark Elbrecht.
        * ltconfig.in (PATH_SEPARATOR): new variable to hold valid $PATH
        separator characters for the build host, to support DJGPP
        environment.
        * ltconfig.in: Use PATH_SEPARATOR instead of hardcoded `:'.
        Reported by Mark Elbrecht <address@hidden>

        * cdemo/README: typo: mdemo->cdemo

1999-01-14  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * autogen: fake the libtool scripts to help fixing
        the bootstrapping problem
        * Makefile.am: always configure libltdl, however after building
        the libtool scripts,
        build the libtool scripts in builddir, not srcdir
        (unfortunately this breaks building when srcdir!=objdir,
        but it was just plain wrong - needs to be fixed),
        build and install libltdl.tar.gz,
        copy acinclude.m4 instead of linking them, so that we
        can 'make dist' in libltdl,
        fixed configuring of subdirectories
        * configure.in: removed --enable-ltdl-install - libltdl is supposed
        to be installed by packages, not by libtool itself
        * libtoolize.in: new flags --ltdl and --ltdl-tar to install libltdl
        in packages (--ltdl doesn't work yet),
        install only the necessary libtool scripts, not just all
        files in pkgdatadir
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: removed the rule for libltdl configuration

1999-01-13  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * mdemo/Makefile.am (../libltdl/libtool): mkdir and configure
        ../libltdl

1999-01-13  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * demo/dlmain.c, libltdl/ltdl.c, ltconfig.in, ltmain.in,
        doc/libtool.texi: renamed dld_preloaded_symbols to
        lt_preloaded_symbols, symbol lists are 'const'
        * cdemo/configure.in: don't check for string.h
        * demo/dlmain.c: renamed dld_symlist to lt_symlist,
        preloaded symbols are 'const', use lt_ptr_t instead of void*
        * demo/foo.h: define lt_ptr_t
        * doc/libtool.texi: document lt_preloaded_symbols correctly
        * libltdl/Makefile.am, mdemo/Makefile.am: renamed libtest to libltdlc
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: fixed some minor typos, renamed dldpre to presym,
        bugfix: search in search_path only if we have no directory
        and a search_path, in lt_dlsym() check whether symbol != 0
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: removed lt_dlpreopen_default()
        * ltconfig.in (dlpreopen): removed dld_preloaded_symbol_count
        * ltmain.in: added help for -avoid-versioning, -export-symbols,
        -module, add @SYMFILE@ if one of -export-dynamic, -dlopen or
        -dlpreopen is used
        * mail/deplibs.html: added Gordon Matzigkeit's inter-library
        dependencies article
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: removed -export-dynamic from LDFLAGS
        (no longer necessary, since libtool defines lt_preloaded_symbols
        when -dlopen is used), initialize with lt_preloaded_symbols

1999-01-13  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Test descriptions): cdemo-static works, thanks
        to Edouard Parmelan!

        * THANKS: added Sebastian Wilhelmi

        * ltconfig.in (solaris): define `need_version' to no

1999-01-13  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (solaris): Define `deplibs_check_method',
        `file_magic_command', `need_lib_prefix' and `sys_lib_search_path'
        * ltmain.in (file_magic_regex): Add space before matching pattern,
        such that it works on solaris (solaris has a tab between the
        library name (including the colon) and the `ELF' and such the
        `ELF' will never be matched).

1999-01-13  Edouard G. Parmelan  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (NM): PATH search was not updated like in
        libtool.m4, in last Alexandre Oliva's change to it
        (sysv4*, ncr): pass all library dependencies
        * ltmain.in (dependency_libs, -R): use `deplib' instead of `arg' to
        iterate, otherwise we'd overwrite `arg'
        (convenience, old_libs): if --disable-shared, convenience
        libraries are just old archives, as .lo's are of no use
        * tests/cdemo-static.test: print --disable-shared here

1999-01-13  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/configure.in (libltdl_cv_shlibext, LTDL_SHLIB_EXT):
        system-dependent extension of shared libraries
        (libltdl_cv_shlibpath_var, LTDL_SHLIBPATH_VAR): system-dependent
        run-time shared library search path
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (dldpre_init, dldpre_exit): unrelate init/exit
        from add/remove symlists, so one may add dld_preloaded_symbols
        from main(), when only a library will call dldpre_init
        (lt_dlopen): use LTDL_SHLIBPATH_VAR, if defined, as secondary
        search path.  Also, if a requested .la file cannot be found, try
        with the LTDL_SHLIB_EXTension instead.

        * ltmain.in (old_archives, oldobjs): use find to SYMDEF here too

        * Makefile.am (@DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@): `$' must be doubled

        * configure.in (AC_CONFIG_DIRS): configure only libltdl, and then,
        only if --enable-ltdl-install
        (CONF_SUBDIRS): list directories that are configured on demand,
        but that must be included in the distribution
        (ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST, DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST): generated from CONF_SUBDIRS
        * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): added version 1.3e and
        readme-alpha, to handle README-alpha automatically
        (EXTRA_DIST): removed README-alpha
        (BUILD_SUBDIRS): subdirectories that are always built
        (SUBDIRS): BUILD_SUBDIRS plus BUILD_LTDL
        (DIST_SUBDIRS): BUILD_SUBDIRS plus CONF_SUBDIRS, from configure
        (all-local, check-local): depend on $(ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST), from
        configure, and libtool, so that it is built before subdirs
        (configure-subdirs): new target
        (configure-subdirs, distdir): depend on $(DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST),
        from configure
        (@DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@): create subdir if needed, then run
        configure.
        On-demand configuration of subdirs at distribution time was
        suggested by Gary V. Vaughan <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4, ltconfig.in (NM): search for NM in PATH before
        /usr/ccs/bin, /usr/ucb and /bin.  However, if the found one isn't
        BSD-compat keep searching.  If no BSD-compat is found, use the
        first we found.

        * THANKS: added Raffaele Sena

1999-01-13  Raffaele Sena  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: replaced RTDL with RTLD

1999-01-13  Manish Singh  <address@hidden>

        * ltconfig.in (osf3*, osf4*, irix6*): include
        ${libname}{release}.so for library_names_spec

1999-01-13  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * configure.in (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): added cdemo
        * Makefile.am (DIST_SUBDIRS): ditto
        (ACINCLUDE_M4_LIST): ditto
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): added cdemo-shared.test
        * tests/cdemo-static.test: disable shared libraries here
        * tests/cdemo-shared.test: disable static libraries here
        * doc/libtool.texi (Test descriptions): added cdemo tests
        * THANKS: added Edouard G. Parmelan

1999-01-13  Edouard G. Parmelan  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: fix convenience libraries when static libraries
        are disables.
        * cdemo/README, cdemo/Makefile.am, cdemo/configure.in, cdemo/foo.h,
        cdemo/foo1.c, cdemo/main.c, cdemo/.cvsignore, test/cdemo-conf.test,
        test/cdemo-make.test, test/cdemo-exec.test, test/cdemo-static.test:
        new tests for convenience libraries.
        * autogen, Makefile.am, test/Makefile.am: ditto.

        * ltconfig.in, doc/PLATFORMS: Added support for NCR MP-RAS
        (i586-ncr-sysv4.3*) with native compiler.
        * README, doc/libtool.texi: Added note for NCR MP-RAS compiler.

1999-01-12  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: before using LN_S remove the symlink
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: support multiple symbol lists, moved library-
        and file searching to separate functions, renamed "preload_libs"
        to "dl_dependency_libs", set the LT_SYMBOL_OVERHEAD to the correct
        value (7), fix to support lt_dlsym() for not-libtool modules again,
        check for invalid handles, when using strdup() check whether
        it fails
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: declare the lt_dlsymlist type for lt_dlpreopen()
        * mdemo/README: rewritten
        * mdemo/configure.in: check only for math.h (string.h is no longer
        necessary)

1999-01-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * configure.in (ltdl-install): Fixed up the indentation so that
        `configure --help' is pretty again.

1999-01-11  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in, NEWS, doc/libtool.texi: Added support for -R flag
        * ltmain.in, doc/libtool.texi: documented that -rpath is the same
        as -R for programs
        * ltmain.in: softened the instructions for linking with installed
        libraries, and noted that libtool can be used to link with them;
        documented that -rpath is not required for convenience libraries

        * ltconfig.in (symxfrm): don't print $pipe_works twice, once for
        each $ac_symprfx
        Reported by Godmar Back <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (convenience, libobjs): get only .o and .lo files from
        the files extract from the convenience library.  Some systems,
        such as FreeBSD2, will add a SYMDEF file, that is not an object
        file, and therefore should not be fed to the linker

        * libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_NM_PARSE): while we are at it, we may well
        cache the value of ac_cv_sys_symbol_underscore

        * libtool.m4 (AM_SYS_NM_PARSE): need for underscore prefix is now
        auto-detected, by trying first without, then with it.

        * ltconfig.in: ditto

1999-01-10  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * configure.in (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): add libltdl, demo, mdemo and
        depdemo commented out, so that `dist' works before `check'
        (BUILD_LTDL): will contain libltdl if --enable-ltdl-install
        * Makefile.am (DIST_SUBDIRS): expand SUBDIRS and add depdemo,
        commented out
        (SUBDIRS): add $(BUILT_LTDL)
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (EXTRA_LTLIBRARIES): add libtest.la, the
        same as libltdl but always a convenience library.  Not built by
        default.  Both libraries now depend on the libtool script, that
        depends on ../libtool and is rebuilt when needed
        * mdemo/Makefile.am (mdemo, mdemo.debug): depend on and link with
        ../libltdl/libtest.la, that is rebuilt if needed
        (mdemo_LDADD): removed $(LIBADD_M), to avoid silent failures
        (foo1.la): renamed from libfoo1.la; test removing the lib prefix
        * mdemo/foo1.c: renamed libfoo1_LTX symbols to foo1_LTX
        * mdemo/main.c: don't include string.h nor math.h, nor refer to
        sin nor cos
        * tests/mdemo-exec.test: renamed libfoo1.la to foo1.la
        * tests/mdemo-inst.test: ditto

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (FILENAME_MAX): use it instead of MAX_FILENAME,
        and don't redefine it if already defined; default to 1024, as on
        most systems
        (LT_SYMBOL_LENGTH): renamed from MAX_SYMBOL_LENGTH
        (LT_SYMBOL_OVERHEAD): new macro, that accounts for the size of
        the _LTX_ separator and the initial underscore
        (lt_dlsym): sym now points to a stack buffer (lsym) if possible,
        or is dynamically allocated.  If allocation fails, a
        buffer_overflow_error is returned.

1999-01-10  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: define dld_preloaded_symbols if at least one of
        -export-dynamic, -dlopen or -dlpreopen was specified,
        do not include program objects in the symbol list
        if -export-dynamic was not enabled
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: limit symbols to max. 256 bytes
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: build libltdl in a subdirectory,
        do not use -export-dynamic for mdemo and mdemo.debug
        * tests/mdemo-conf.test,tests/mdemo-make.test,tests/mdemo-inst.test:
        do not check for libltdl

1999-01-09  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): missing strlen in bound test

1999-01-09  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: support for BSD/OS 4.x was not documented
        * demo/Makefile.am: link against libm only if available
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: likewise, use -avoid-versioning flag
        instead of -avoid-version (typo)
        * demo/configure.in: check for libm, string.h and math.h
        * mdemo/configure.in: likewise
        * depdemo/configure.in: check for libm and math.h
        * libltdl/configure.in: check for dlerror
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: check for buffer overflows, implemented
        dlerror, fixed a severe bug which occured when opening
        non-libtool modules, dlopen with the flags GLOBAL and NOW
        * mdemo/main.c: report the error using lt_dlerror()

1999-01-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi (old_archive_from_new_commands): Documented
        this ltcofig variable.

1999-01-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh (cygwin, allow_undefined): Unfortunately, there are
        problems with this variable when trying to make a dll which has
        undefined symbols, in which case not even a static library is
        built.  For now, we need to specify -no-undefined on the libtool
        link line when we can be certain that all symbols are satisfied,
        otherwise we get a static library.

1999-01-06  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * ChangeLog: merged in tests/ChangeLog
        * tests/ChangeLog: deleted
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: assigned copyright to the FSF
        * libltdl/ltdl.h, mdemo/foo*,main.c: likewise

1999-01-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (dllsearchpath): add absolute directory paths to
        dllsearchpath so that the wrapper scripts can be called from any
        directory (e.g. tests) on cygwin.

        * ltconfig.in (cygwin, library_names_spec): revert Alexandre's
        change from yesterday to use `-dll.a' suffix.  That change caused
        $libname-dll.a to be a symlink to $soname, which isn't even an
        `ar' archive.  Before the import library suffix can be changed, we
        need to figure out how to handle building objects differently for
        linking with an import library versus an equivalent static library.

        * TODO: Added details of a Linux wrapper script bug.
        Reported by Jeff Garzik <address@hidden>.

1999-01-05  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (libobjs_save, oldobjs): when building an
        old-fashioned archive, use a copy of libobjs saved before
        convenience libraries are appended

        * libltdl/ltdl.h (_LTDLL_EXPORT, _LTDLL_IMPORT): use cygwin or
        unix library import/export primitives; this may be convenient for
        people willing to create DLLs
        (_LTDLL_EXTERN): select _LTDLL_EXPORT or _LTDLL_IMPORT depending
        on _LTDL_COMPILE_
        * libltdl/ltdl.h, libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlpreopen): new function,
        that replaces the current preloaded_symbols list with its
        argument, and returns the old value, initially NULL
        (dldpre_init): don't refer to dld_preloaded_symbols any more
        (dldpre_open, dldpre_sym): search preloaded_symbols
        (lt_dlpreopen_default): call lt_dlpreopen with
        dld_preloaded_symbols, that is declared as extern; it should be
        called from the main program or from some static library without
        -no-undefined
        (lt_dlerror): new function, that returns the error message for the
        last error occurred; the error message is kept in the static
        variable last_error
        * libltdl/configure.in (enable-ltdl-install): moved back from
        enable-install; other packages might use enable-install already,
        better have fine grained control over this.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdls.la): discarded

1999-01-05  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * configure.in: do not configure libltdl by default
        * Makefile.am: do not build libltdl by default
        * libltdl/Makefile.am: ltdls.lo depends on libtool
        * tests/Makefile.am: before starting the tests
        make sure that libtool was build
        * tests/mdemo-conf.test: configure libltdl
        * tests/mdemo-make.test: build libltdl

1999-01-05  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (SP2NL, NL2SP): Don't delete empty lines, as this
        would lose for files with embedded blanks.

        * ltconfig.in (cygwin, archive_cmds, archive_sym_cmds): Moved
        ltdll.c into ltmain.in, to avoid its duplication, and added a sed
        script to extract it.  Also, create def and base files in $objdir,
        and don't remove them after the compilation.
        (cygwin, library_names_spec): Create static part of the dll with
        suffix -dll.a, to avoid conflicts with actual static libraries.
        * ltmain.in: Added ltdll.c, as commented out text

1999-01-01  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: new BeOS support
        * THANKS: added Joseph Beckenbach
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: use dllimport/export on Win32

Index: ChangeLog.2000
from  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-12-22  Akim Demaille  <address@hidden>

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

2000-12-22  Aneesh Kumar K.V  <address@hidden>

2000-12-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit): Was checking for residency of the
        wrong module.
        Reported by Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

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

2000-12-16  Aneesh Kumar K.V  <address@hidden>

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

2000-12-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

2000-12-16   Wilfredo Sanchez  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: (dyld/darwin*) Much improved port.

2000-12-16  Sascha Schumann <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Accept darwin as an alias for rhapsody.
        * ltmain.in: ditto.

        * libtool.m4 (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD): Use the HPUX 10.20
        methods to check for library dependencies on HPUX 11.

2000-12-16  Nick Hudson  <address@hidden>

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

2000-12-15  Akim Demaille  <address@hidden>

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

2000-12-15  Utz-Uwe Haus  <address@hidden>

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

2000-12-14  Tod Milam  <address@hidden>

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

2000-12-14  Michael Schmitz  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Port to *-sni-sysv4 (Reliant Unix)
        * README: added Reliant Unix to hte list of supported platforms
        * doc/PLATFORMS: added note on tests on Reliant Unix

2000-12-14  Masahiro Nobori  <address@hidden>

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

2000-12-14  Nick Hudson  <address@hidden>

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

2000-12-14  Akim Demaille  <address@hidden>

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

2000-12-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-12-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-12-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

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

2000-11-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-11-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-11-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-11-20  Morten Eriksen  <address@hidden>

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

2000-11-20  Paul Berrevoets  <address@hidden>

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

2000-11-19  Paul Berrevoets  <address@hidden>

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

2000-11-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-11-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-11-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

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

2000-10-31  Morten Eriksen  <address@hidden>

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

2000-10-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-10-31  Akim Demaille  <address@hidden>

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

2000-10-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-10-30  Ossama Othman  <address@hidden>

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

2000-10-30  Aneesh Kumar K.V <address@hidden>

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

2000-10-27  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

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

2000-10-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        From Bruce Korb <address@hidden>
        * ltmain.in (execute_dlfiles): Reduce obfuscation.

2000-09-30  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

2000-09-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-09-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-09-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-09-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

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

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

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

2000-09-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-09-15  Nick Hudson  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (netbsd): Improved support.

2000-09-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-09-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

2000-09-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-09-12  Michael Matz  <address@hidden>

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

2000-09-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-09-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

2000-09-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2000-09-07  Pavel Roskin  <address@hidden>

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

2000-09-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

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

        * doc/PLATFORMS: Updated.

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

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

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

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

2000-09-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

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

        * mdemo/Makefile.am (lib_LTLIBRARIES): Move libsub.la before
        libfoo2.la, so that they're installed in the right order.

2000-09-04  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

        * ltconfig.in (need_lc): Preserve allow_undefined_flag.

        * tests/*.test (CONFIG_SITE): Ultrix's /bin/sh fails on

        can be `/path/to/shell -x'.

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

        * ltmain.in (variables_saved_for_relink): Attempt to unset them

        patch from 2000-06-17.

2000-09-02  Tom Kacvinsky  <address@hidden>, Tim Mooney <address@hidden>

2000-09-02  Assar Westerlund  <address@hidden>

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

2000-08-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

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

2000-08-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Do not generate a libtool based

        of the -pthread option.

2001-11-27  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        With help from Michael Matz <address@hidden>:

        From Joseph S. Myers  <address@hidden>:
        * ltmain.in: Typo.

2001-11-15   Mo DeJong  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Place parens around a generated relink_command
        so it is run is a subshell. This avoids an install error
        where libtool ended up in the wrong directory after
        relinking a .la file.

        int.
        Based on lint run from Bob Friesenhahn <address@hidden>

2001-10-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_TAGCONFIG): Cray sed does not allow character
        sets to contain the separator character.
        Reported by Kevin Ryde <address@hidden>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_WITH_LTDL): New macro to add `--with-included-ltdl'

2001-10-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * configure.ac: General modernisation and cleanup.
        * cdemo/configure.ac: Ditto.
        * demo/configure.ac: Ditto.
        * depdemo/configrue.ac: Ditto.
        * ltdl/configure.ac: Ditto.

        * mdemo/configure.ac: Ditto.

        * tagdemo/configure.ac: Ditto.

2001-10-04  Albert Chin-A-Young <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Match function return type with prototype
        (add static initializer to file_not_found).

2001-09-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE): s/INCLTDL/LTDLINCL/ for
        consistency with gettext's INTLINCL.  Keep the old symbol too for
        backwards compatibility.
        (AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE): Ditto.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Distributing libltdl):  Adjust documentation.

2001-09-22  Albert Chin-A-Young  <address@hidden>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_DLLIB): Even though HP-UX 10.20 and 11.00
        support shl_load *and* dlopen, dlopen works correctly only
        with a patch. Because we want to avoid the situation where we
        build on a system with the patch but deploy on a system without,
        use shl_load exclusively if found.

2001-09-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_FILE_LTDLL_C): Be carefule that the start
        marker searched for by sed must start in column 0.
        (_LT_AC_FILE_IMPGEN_C): Ditto.
        Reported by Tor Lillqvist <address@hidden>

2001-09-22  Tor Lillqvist  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 [mingw* cygwin*]: Small improvement for mingw-hosted
        tool support (while still running libtool on cygwin). In that case
        PATH_SEPARATOR is ':', but gcc -print-search-dirs still prints its
        search path with ';' as separator.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_RC, AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_RC_CONFIG): Add support for .rc
        files (Windows resource files), compiled by the resource compiler
        (windres in mingw) to .o files.
        (AC_PROG_NM): Minor bug fix for $PATH elements with spaces in
        them.
        * configure.ac: Use LT_AC_PROG_RC.
        * ltmain.in: Check for .rc files.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * ltmain.in: Add a space to $base_compile in the case statement,
        as the case labels checks for trailing spaces, but there aren't
        necessarily in $base_compile.

2001-09-22  Albert Chin-A-Young  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: When setting archive_cmds for CC, don't
        test for $GXX but for $GCC on HP-UX. Indentation fixes.

2001-09-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        From Tor Lillqvist <address@hidden>:
        * ltmain.in [cygwin* mingw*]: Take care of the difference between
        wrapper script name and executable name.

        * libtool.m4 (archive_cmds) [darwin1.[0-2]]: Darwin uses zsh-3.1.6
        for /bin/sh, and that shell does not handle escaped quotes
        properly yet.
        Reported by Christopher Pfisterer <address@hidden>

2001-09-21  Albert Chin-A-Young  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Match function return type with prototype
        (add static initializer to some functions) to prevent warnings
        from HP-UX cc.

2001-09-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Added support for dmalloc, and uncovered some
        memory bugs as a result.

2001-09-21  Albert Chin  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Don't include main() when testing for command to
        parse $NM output because some C++ compilers don't allow you to
        take the address of main (e.g. HP-UX aCC).

        * libtool.m4: Some uses of $GXX were unquoted, but GXX is either
        NULL or yes.  Use "$GXX".

2001-09-13  Assar Westerlund  <address@hidden>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_DLLIB): call dlopen with arguments so the test
        does not fail due to a prototype in dlfcn.h

2001-09-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Check for assert.h.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c:  If not, disable assertions manually.

2001-09-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * bootstrap: Be robust to having no files that need removing.

        * libltdl/configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Bump libltdl version to
        1.2.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdl_la_LDFLAGS):  Bump libtool library
        version info to 4:0:1.

2001-09-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: No need to undefine([symbols]), proper quotation is
        enough.

2001-09-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: CVS Autoconf guarantees a decent default IFS, so
        there is no need for us to preset it anymore.
        Be careful not to set IFS="${IFS}$PATH_SEPARATOR" for PATH
        splitting, otherwise spaces in directory names will be lost.
        Use $PATH_SEPARATOR... don't rely on $ac_path_separator, which was
        an autoconf internal until just now, when it disappeared!
        * ltmain.in: Default IFS once, at the start.
        Reported by Akim Demaille <address@hidden>

2001-09-10   Brad  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD): Missed an instance of
        Autoconf square bracket quoting style normalisation.

        * ltmain.in (-lc_r): Style improvement.

        * doc/libtool.texi: Remove obsolete references to ltconfig.
        * tests/quote.test: s/ltconfig/\$0/

2001-09-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Use Autoconf square bracket quoting style
        consistently throughout.

2001-09-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * bootstrap: Cleanup `autom4te' and `libtool' so that we don't
        get caught by something from a previous build.

        * libtool.m4 (archive_cmds, archive_expsym_cmds) [solaris*]: Revert
        my 2001-09-06 patch.
        (no_undefined_flag)i [solaris*]: Revert Alexandre's 2001-04-11 patch.

2001-09-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (foreach_dirinpath): argz_len should be a size_t.
        Reported by Albert Chin <address@hidden>

2001-09-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) [solaris*]: Typo. s/GXX/GCC/.

        * libtool.m4 (archive_cmds, archive_expsym_cmds) [solaris*]: Changing
        no_undefined_flag from `-z text' to `-z defs' (see entry below at
        2001-04-11  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>) has a problem.
        when linking a shared library with gcc calling /usr/ccs/bin/ld (eg.
        the gcc supplied with Solaris 8 companion CD), using the flag
        -no-undefined, shared library linking will always fail because of
        the unresolved symbols from libgcc.a.  Consequently we have to
        provide a path to libgcc.a when linking shared libraries in
        conjunction with -no-undefined!

        From Michael Pruett <address@hidden>:
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (find_module): `0' valued arguments to
        tryall_dlopen_module() must be explicitly cast to avoid compiler
        warnings on some environments.

        From Daniel Johnson <address@hidden>:
        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) [darwin*]: Move from GNU
        ld section to non-GNU ld section.

2001-09-05  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * pdemo/Makefile.am (helldl):  Automake 1.4 can't find the target
        if we use helldl$(EXEEXT), and Automake 1.5 barfs unless we do.
        Using both targets to the left of the colon seems to work though!

2001-09-03  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * demo/Makefile.am (helldl):  Automake 1.4 can't find the target
        if we use helldl$(EXEEXT), and Automake 1.5 barfs unless we do.
        Using both targets to the left of the colon seems to work though!

2001-09-03  Brad  <address@hidden>

        * ltdl.m4 [AC_LTDL_SYS_DLOPEN_DEPLIBS]: Teach ltdl about the
        behavior of OpenBSD's dlopen().

2001-09-03  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        From Marius Vollmer <address@hidden>:
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (tryall_dlopen_module): Don't forget to propogate
        errors over recurse levels.

2001-09-03  Brad  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 [openbsd*]: More improvements to the OpenBSD port.

2001-09-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        From Albert Chin <address@hidden>:
        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG) [aix4*]: Be careful with
        shared namespaces for static and shared libs.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN_SELF): If all else fails, try dld_link from GNU
        DLD.

2001-09-02  Christopher Pfisterer <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4, ltmain.in: Linker flag and version numbering fixes
        for darwin.

2001-09-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        Based on a patch from Marius Vollmer <address@hidden>:
        * NEWS: updated.
        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LIB_LTDL): Check for unistd.h.
        * ltdl.c: Include unistd.h if it exists.
        (LTDL_SEARCHPATH_VAR): Macro to prevent hardcoding
        "LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH".
        (LTDL_ARCHIVE_EXT): Macro to prevent hardcoding ".la".
        (archive_ext): Have only one copy of ".la" in the readonly
        segment of the compiled library.
        (find_handle_callback): Don't bother trying to dlopen the file if
        it doesn't exist.
        (find_handle): Don't bother searching for files if no search_path
        was supplied.
        (file_not_found): A new function to determine whether the last
        error was due to a file not found condition.
        (try_dlopen): Renamed from lt_dlopen() and changed to have the
        same footprint as tryall_dlopen.  This involved a minor rewrite of
        much of the internals of this function.
        (lt_dlopen): A new function wrapped arounf try_dlopen().
        (lt_dlopenext): If a file already has a suitable extension, don't
        bother adding additional extensions and trying to open those.
        Tidy up the rest of the code to prevent continued searching with
        an eventual FILE_NOT_FOUND when a genuine failure earlier in the
        search process could be legitimately reported.

        * demo/Makefile.am (helldl$(EXEEXT)): Automake-1.5 made me change
        this from just `helldl'.

2001-07-31  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) Fixed a problem
        with export_symbols_cmds not being set for CXX tags, and
        not being properly set for any tag under AIX/Power.

2001-08-19  Ossama Othman  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Corrected and improved
        error message that is displayed when there was a problem
        compiling the C++ test program.  It still mentioned the now
        non-existent `ltcf-cxx.sh' file.

        * doc/libtool.texi (LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): Removed
        parentheses at end of starting "defmac" line, as pointed out by
        makeinfo.

2001-08-18  Brad  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Do not remove -lm from deplibs for OpenBSD.

2001-08-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (argz_create_sep): Don't forget to include the
        terminating '\0' when counting argz_len.
        (argz_create_sep): When canonicalizing argz, don't forget to copy
        the terminating '\0', incase canonicalization has shortened argz.
        (argz_stringify): Don't covert the final '\0' to a separator.

2001-08-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlhandle_next): Now we can loop through all
        loaded module handles as originally intended.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlseterror): Oops.  This never worked
        either, due to a pair of typos.  Now fixed.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (N_ELEMENTS):  Deleted.  How come nobody noticed
        there was no way this could have ever worked?
        (lt_dlcaller_set_data): Now that valid caller_ids must be
        non-zero, allocate an addition entry in the caller_data vector and
        use a zero valued key as the end marker.
        (lt_dlcaller_get_data): Iterate up to the end marker in one pass.

2001-08-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlcaller_register): Caller ids are allocated
        starting from value `1', so that clients can use a value of zero
        to indicate that libltdl has not yet initialised.

        * ltmain.in (exec_cmd): Fix quoting in execute mode so that the
        double quotes added by libtool (to prevent lossage with embedded
        spaces in filenames etc.) are not interpreted as literals by the
        shell.

2001-08-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (find_file_callback): Fix a multiple free()
        bug.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlinsertsearchdir): Calculate the address
        of the end of user_search_path correctly.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (rpl_argz_stringify): New fallback implementation.
        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_FUNC_ARGZ):  Test for argz_stringify in libc.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_argz_insertinorder): Renamed from
        lt_argz_insert to make room for...
        (lt_argz_insert): Wraps argz_insert with libltdl error handling.
        (lt_dlpath_insertdir): Insert new path elements into an
        argzized path.
        (lt_dlinsertsearchdir): New function to insert new search
        directories anywhere into user_search_path using the above.
        (lt_dladdsearchdir): Rewritten to use lt_dlpath_insertdir.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlinsertsearchdir): Prototype for export.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface): Document it.
        * NEWS: Updated,

2001-08-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        From Albert Chin <address@hidden>:
        * ltmain.in [irix*]: $with_gcc is either "yes" or "" (empty string)
        with current autoconf, so we need to be robust to that when testing
        it,

2001-08-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        From Brad <address@hidden>:
        * libtool.m4 (deplibs_check_method) [aix*]: Removed redundant setting

        Move the deplibs check code from here...
        (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD): ...to here.

2001-08-05  Tim Mooney <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 [osf3*, osf4*, osf5*]: Tru64 *can* build modules

        to '0' as we've already matched it.

2001-08-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        From Brad <address@hidden>:

        1.3 era $linkopts references with $linker_flags.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c:  Fixed several careless mistakes in the
        foreach_dirinpath support functions.
        (foreach_dirinpath): Walk path elements with the argz API.

2001-08-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        From Sedi Master Albert Chin <address@hidden>:
        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_SYS_LIBPATH_AIX): Replace the awk invocation
        with an equivalent bit of sed wizardry.

        From Edouard G. Parmelan <address@hidden>
        * libtool.m4 [darwin, openbsd]: Fix quoting problems with

        so I haven't committed it yet.

2001-08-01  Ossama Othman  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Require Autoconf-2.50 via the
        AC_PREREQ autoconf macro since the new libtool macros utilize
        macros from that version of Autoconf.

2001-08-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltdl.m4: Bump serial number.
        General reformat and tify up in line with Autoconf-2.50 support.
        (AC_LTDL_FUNC_ARGZ): Test for system implementations of a
        handful of argz API calls, the error_t type, and the argz.h

        the similarly named functions for machines that don;t use glibc.
        (lt_dlrealloc):  New memory function pointer that can be set by
        the client.  Defaults to rpl_realloc, which in turn uses only
        lt_dlmalloc and lt_dlfree.
        (LT_EMALLOC, LT_EREALLOC): Set internal out-of-memory error
        inside the functions called by these new macros.  Simplified all

        multi-language-branch.
        * configure.in (AC_PROG_CXX, LT_AC_PROG_GCJ): Compiler checks must

        results.

2001-06-12  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * docs/libtool.texi: Updated the libltdl interface documentation
        to bring it up to date.

2001-06-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * demo/Makefile.am (objdir): Use `libtool --config' for
        extracting configuration values, since a given value may
        be present in each tag.
        (hc-libpath): Ditto.
        (hc-minusL): Ditto.
        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_TAGCONFIG): Add tagged configurations from
        the --with-tags option.
        (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Factored out into separate configuration
        macros -- The interdependencies and running order are still
        immutable, and need a lot of work to fix.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Taken from the previous incarnation of
        _LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK -- this macro is used both to create the
        primary (C language) libtool configuration from
        _LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK and also to append tagged configurations from
        _LT_AC_TAGCONFIG.
        * NEWS:  Merged from multi-language-branch.

2000-06-04  Mark Mitchell  <address@hidden>

        * ltcf-c.sh (archive_cmds, archive_expsym_cmds) [solaris,
        with_gcc]: Use `gcc -shared' to build a shared library.

2001-06-04  John David Anglin  <address@hidden>

        archives.

2001-05-28  Simon Patarin <address@hidden>

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

2001-05-28  Albert Chin  <address@hidden>

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

2001-05-22  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

2001-05-20  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

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

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

2001-05-16  Alan Modra  <address@hidden>

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

2001-05-03  Andreas Jaeger  <address@hidden>, Andreas Schwab  <address@hidden>

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

2001-04-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * configure.in: bumped version to 1.4a.

        GNU libtool 1.4 was released.

        * libtool.m4: Support $host_os as /sysv5uw7*/ from newer
        config.guess in addition to older /unixware*/.  Use compiler
        driver, not linker, for linking shared libraries.

2001-04-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4, ltmain.in, libltdl/configure.in,
        tests/quote.test:  Remove stale references to ltconfig.

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

2001-04-24 Albert Chin-A-Young <address@hidden>

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

2001-04-24  Thomas Tanner  <address@hidden>

        * TODO: describe problems with libltdl
        * ltmain.in (ILD): tidy up, add comments, remove dead code,

        * ltmain.in (ILD): don't touch newdependency_libs after scan or
        dlopen pass
        * ltmain.in (ILD): don't dlpreopen dependency_libs of a dlopened
        module (remove absolutely wrong quick hack)
        * ltmain.in (ILD): remove wrong comments about duplicate removal
        * ltmain.in (ILD): build a static-only module if it has
        static libraries in its dependencies (so that libltdl can
        safely load dependency_libs)
        * ltmain.in (argument parsing): prefix comparsions of -l args with X,
        replace -lc with `-framework System' _after_ the ILD passes
        * ltmain.in (argument parsing): support dl[pre]open
        for both .o and .lo files
        * ltmain.in (deplibs_check): use portable test syntax
        * ltmain.in (help): document -prefer-[non-]pic flags
        * ltmain.in: improve readablity by adding some comments,
        rename uninst_* to notinst_* (more adequate name)

2001-04-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * doc/PLATFORMS:  More updates from subscribers to
        address@hidden

        From Tim Mooney <address@hidden>
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Make sure the *.test
        scripts get the same make that was used in the top level
        directory.

2001-04-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * doc/PLATFORMS:  Updated with more platforms successfully
        tested by members of address@hidden

2001-04-23  Peter Eisentraut  <address@hidden>

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

2001-04-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * doc/PLATFORMS:  With this patch, my Solaris boxes now pass the
        test suite,  Yay!
        From Albert Chin-A-Young <address@hidden>
        * ltmain.in:  `test -L' is not portable, and infact breaks uninstall
        mode on Solaris.  Fallback to `test -h' and finally `test -f',
        but be careful not to let the failure status cause libtool to
        stop.

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

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

        around zsh builtin echo \ escape removal.

2001-04-22  Peter Eisentraut  <address@hidden>

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

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

2001-04-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): UW7 has sys/dl.h, so we must
        check for that here.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (HAVE_SYS_DL_H):  Include it if necessary for
        the dlopen loader.
        Reported by Matthew Schalit <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Improve NetBSD support.
        * ltmain.in: ditto.

2001-04-19  Dan McNichol <address@hidden>

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

2001-04-18  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

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

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

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

2001-04-08  Nick Hudson  <address@hidden>

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

        is included in the distribution.

2001-04-07  Peter Eisentraut  <address@hidden>

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

2001-04-06  Nick Hudson  <address@hidden>

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

2001-04-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Multiple dependencies): A note about the
        problems I've reintroduced by reverting the my patch of 2001-03-31.

        From Edward Lee <address@hidden>
        * libtool.m4: Typos.

        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Delete references to depdemo-dups.test.
        * tests/depdemo-dups.test:  Removed, as part of the patch
        reversion below.
        * ltmain.in: Revert my change from 2001-03-31.  Although it
        was technically correct, it opens a whole can of worms we don't
        want to deal with right now.

        From Ahmed Masud <address@hidden>
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (sys_shl_open):  Return a NULL module handle
        for self opening.
        (sys_shl_close):  Be careful not to close a NULL module handle.
        (sys_shl_sym):  Allow shl_findsym() to open NULL modules, but
        discard the modified module address it returns.

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

        * NEWS (1.3d) Removed bogus ltconfig reference.

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

2001-03-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2001-03-29  Edward M. Lee  <address@hidden>

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

        * libtoolize.in: change recommendation from AM_PROG_LIBTOOL to
        AC_PROG_LIBTOOL.

        * libtool.m4: Generate dll/import libraries for cygwin according
        to the following: libFOO.a (static lib), libFOO.dll.a (import
        lib), cygFOO-version.dll (dll).  Update postinstall_cmds and
        postuninstall_cmds to reflect this.
        * ltmain.in: Generate installed .la files with dlnames set to
        ../bin/cygFOO-version.dll for normal dlls. dlls for modules
        remain with the .la file.

2001-03-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

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

2001-03-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        From Tor Lillqvist <address@hidden>
        * libtool.m4 (export_symbols): On Windows, if the export_symbols
        file (which has been passed to libtool with the -export-symbols
        command line switch) already is a .def file, use it as is.

        * libtool.m4 (library_names_spec): Using m4 quotes correctly this
        time around!

        From Tor Lillqvist <address@hidden>
        * libtool.m4 (library_names_spec): Use an appropriate filename
        prefix for dlls -- lib for mingw; cyg for cygwin; pw for pw32.

2001-03-06  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (can_build_shared) [AIX 4.[01], GCC]: GCC up to
        2.96 can't build shared libraries reliably.  Disable them.

        * ltmain.in: When dropping dependencies of a -no-undefined
        library, give up on building a shared library.

2001-03-05  Akim Demaille  <address@hidden>

from  Benjamin Reed  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in [darwin]: disable lazy linking, needed
        to resolve C++ global constructor issues

2002-12-30  Ralph Schleicher  <address@hidden>

        Rework by Robert Boehne <address@hidden>
        * ltmain.in: New link option -shrext.
        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): New libtool variable shrext.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Replace all hard coded shared
        library file name extensions in library_names_spec and
        soname_spec with $shrext.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Link mode): Document it.

2002-12-30  Charles Wilson  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): modify
        $archive_expsym_cmds to restore support for using
        .def files via the -export-symbols switch.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS([TAGNAME]): in both the [CXX]
        branch and the default branch, improve $export_symbols_cmds
        so that DATA symbols are properly  labelled.  In the default
        branch, duplicate the _CXX_CONFIG correction for
        $archive_expsym_cmds.

2002-12-30  Charles Wilson  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_RC): AC_PROG_RC doesn't exist --
        but we do AC_DEFUN something called LT_AC_PROG_RC.
        Call that instead.

2002-12-30  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Copy the section
        for Darwin from AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS so that the CXX
        tag doesn't use the g++ defaults for the OS X compiler.

2002-12-30  Albert Chin-A-Young <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Sync methods used to detect GNU ld.

2002-12-20  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_COMPILER_OPTION,
        AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O): Do not escape } or ? in sed argument.

2002-12-19  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Use the sed program found by LT_AC_PROG_SED
        so that relink commands don't get truncated.

2002-12-18  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Move AC_REQUIRE([LT_AC_PROG_SED]) to AC_PROG_LD
        so it is invoked earlier.

2002-12-11  Allan Sandfeld Jensen  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Add support for Intel icc compiler for Linux.

2002-12-11  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Revert the version +1 change for IRIX, it could
        cause compatibility problems.

2002-11-22  Christian Cornelssen  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_COMPILER_OPTION,
        AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O): Changed method for compilation with
        custom flags to be language-independent.  Thereby removed
        CFLAGS/GCJFLAGS mixup bug.  Imitate Autoconf-style logging.
        Log entries no longer discarded by compilation failures.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG, _LT_AC_LANG_CXX_CONFIG,
        _LT_AC_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG): Tuned settings of
        lt_simple_compile_test_code and lt_simple_link_test_code
        to avoid warnings that could break some option detections.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_COMPILER_NO_RTTI): Removed
        redundant "-c conftest.$ac_ext" in the argument to
        AC_LIBTOOL_COMPILER_OPTION.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS): Replaced C-specific conftest
        source code with $lt_simple_compile_test_code, to support
        the "-lc" test with other languages.

2002-11-19  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        Don't assume that egrep and fgrep exist.  POSIX 1003.1-2001 no
        longer requires them; you're supposed to use grep -E and grep -F
        instead.  Also, don't assume that "test -a" works, since POSIX
        doesn't require it.

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER, _LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG,
        _LT_AC_LANG_CXX_CONFIG, AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE,
        AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS):
        egrep -> grep, when that makes no difference.
        * libtoolize.in: Likewise.
        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SYMBOL_USCORE): Likewise.
        * ltmain.in: Likewise.
        * demo/Makefile.am (hc-direct): Likewise.
        * pdemo/Makefile.am (hc-direct): Likewise.
        * tests/build-relink.test, tests/build-relink2.test,
        tests/cdemo-conf.test, tests/cdemo-shared.test,
        tests/cdemo-static.test, tests/demo-conf.test,
        tests/demo-nofast.test, tests/demo-shared.test,
        tests/demo-static.test, tests/depdemo-conf.test,
        tests/depdemo-nofast.test, tests/depdemo-shared.test,
        tests/depdemo-static.test, tests/hardcode.test,
        tests/mdemo-conf.test, tests/mdemo-shared.test,
        tests/mdemo-static.test, tests/pdemo-conf.test,
        tests/tagdemo-conf.test, tests/tagdemo-shared.test,
        tests/tagdemo-static.test: Likewise.

        * libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_EGREP):
        New macro, defined if Autoconf doesn't define.
        (AC_PATH_TOOL_PREFIX, AC_PROG_LD_GNU): Use it.
        (AC_PROG_LD, AC_PROG_NM, AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE):
        Use shell pattern matching rather than egrep.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Set lt_EGREP and EGREP.

        * demo/Makefile.am (SET_HARDCODE_FLAGS): Use sed instead of egrep.
        * pdemo/Makefile.am (SET_HARDCODE_FLAGS): Likewise.

        * tests/defs (EGREP, FGREP): New vars.

        * ltmain.in: egrep -> $EGREP
        * tests/assign.test, tests/demo-exec.test, tests/demo-inst.test,
        tests/pdemo-exec.test, tests/pdemo-inst.test, tests/sh.test:
        Likewise.

        * tests/hardcode.test: fgrep -> $FGREP

        * tests/f77demo-exec.test: test -a -> test &&

2002-11-18  Bob Friesenhahn  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: When using gcc, pass -mfoo to the linker
        via $compiler_flags in order to pass architecture information to
        the linker (e.g. 32 vs 64-bit). This may also be accomplished via
        -Wl,-mfoo but this is not reliable with gcc because gcc may use
        -mfoo to select a different linker, different libraries, etc, while
        -Wl,-mfoo simply passes -mfoo to the linker. If there is a better
        solution, please let me know what it is.

2002-11-18  Bob Friesenhahn  <address@hidden>

        * tests/Makefile.am: Conditional assignment of FFLAGS = @FFLAGS@
        does not appear to be necessary given that Automake makes this
        assignment by default.  The condition is removed since Automake
        1.7.1 complains about it.

2002-11-18  Jakub Jelinek  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Support linking of 64-bit libraries on
        sparc{,v[789]}-*linux*, s390*-*linux*, ppc*-*linux*
        GNU/Linux systems when the platform default is to build
        32-bit libraries.

2002-11-18  Andreas Jaeger  <address@hidden>, Bo Thorsen  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Support linking of 32-bit libraries with ld
        on the x86-64, ppc64, s390x and sparc64 GNU/Linux systems.

2002-11-18  Akim Demaille  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Do not change the PATH in the wrappers: let them
        launch the real binary using its path.

2002-11-18  Kevin Ryde  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Library tips): Note array dimensions.

2002-11-18  Bob Friesenhahn  <address@hidden>

        * tests/*.test: MinGW's MSYS treats files under /dev
        specially. This causes 'test -r /dev/null/config/site' to
        improperly report success, causing configure to fail. Change the
        CONFIG_SITE definition from "/dev/null/config/site" to
        "/nonexistent" to avoid this problem.

2002-11-18  Charles Wilson  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LOCK): remove support for ancient
        versions of mingw and cygwin.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_POSTDEP_PREDEP): new function.
        moved the "find hidden library dependencies" code here
        from AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG.  Attempted to make it
        multi-tag compatible, but currently only CXX calls it.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): set
        enable_shared_with_satic_runtimes to 'no' by default
        Set it to 'yes' for cygwin, mingw, pw32. Replace
        "find hidden library dependencies" code with a call
        to the new function AC_LIBTOOL_POSTDEP_PREDEP.
        Consolidate cygwin and mingw/pw32 stanzas.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_F77_CONFIG): set
        enable_shared_with_static_runtimes to 'no' by default
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): add
        enable_shared_with_static_runtimes to the list of variables
        to write into ltmain.sh; include it in the libtool script
        template as allow_libtool_libs_with_static_runtimes.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS): set
        enable_shared_with_static_runtimes to 'no' by default
        Set it to 'yes' for cygwin, mingw, pw32.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE): only put cr in regexp
        if the build_os is mingw, not host_os

        * ltmain.in (case deplibs_check_method): for all appropriate
        cases, if allow_libtool_libs_with_static_runtimes, then remove
        predeps and postdeps from the list of dependencies that must
        be checked for "dynamicness".  For the "none" case, the
        presence of compiler-generated postdeps and predeps should
        not trigger "inter-library dependencies not supported" error.
        (initial setup after arg processing): on cygwin/mingw, allow
        compiler-generated dependent libs to be duplicated without
        elimination.
        (initial search loop for deplibs): if the deplib in question
        is a libtool lib, then if
        allow_libtool_libs_with_static_runtimes then parse the .la file.
        If the .la file only has an "old_library", add the deplib
        directly to the deplibs list (-lstdc++) and DON'T use the .la
        file; this allows the (case deplibs_check_method) change above
        to take effect.
        * ltmain.in (for pass in $passes loop): remove predeps,
        postdeps, and compiler_lib_search_path from dependency_libs.

2002-11-08  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi: Add --mode=* to every example using libtool.

2002-11-03  Ossama Othman  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: add support for installing into temporary
        staging area (e.g. 'make install DESTDIR=...')

2002-11-03  Charles Wilson  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): restore setting
        allow_undefined_flag=unsupported for cygwin and mingw.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS): ditto, for both "normal" gcc/ld
        and for the (unmaintained?) MSVC case.

2002-11-03  Charles Wilson  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Install mode): document new
        -inst-prefix option.

2002-11-02  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Print a warning if the mode is not specified.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Document the change that the mode must be
        specified.

2002-10-30  Charles Wilson  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O): use printf, not
        echo. (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD): use new shell function
        win32_libid on w32 platforms
        * ltmain.in: add new section for shell functions. Add
        win32_libid() shell function.
        * f77demo/Makefile.am: add -no-undefined flag

2002-10-30  Rob Browning  <address@hidden>

        * ltdl.c (realloc): Remove custom realloc. (#define
        rpl_realloc realloc) and comment out later code for custom
        realloc. You can't define your own malloc unless you know
        enough about the malloc in use to be able to tell how big
        the src ptr is. The disabled code incorrectly used the
        *destination* ptr to decide how much to copy. This
        sometimes results in out-of-bound accesses which cause
        segfaults. This is a quick hack for now; we may want
        something cleaner later.
        (tryall_dlopen_module): check to be sure (dirname_len > 0) before
        testing first character against '/'.
        (try_dlopen): check for feof(file) in read loop -- otherwise
        infinite loop?

2002-10-25  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (-XCClinker): New flag passes a linking option
        directly to the compiler driver without appending ${wl}.

2002-10-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * README-alpha: Add some release note templates for inspiration
        and consistency at release time.

        * Makefile.am (cvs-diff): Compress the generated diff file, ready
        for upload to ftp.gnu.org.

2002-10-25  Howard Chu  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in [aix]: Be sure to deal with xlc_r, cc_r and other
        compiler variants.

2002-10-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_FILE_IMPGEN_C): Removed.  No longer used.
        (_LT_AC_FILE_LTDLL_C): Ditto.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG) [cygwin, mingw, pw32, os2]: Don't call
        _LT_AC_FILE_LTDLL_C or _LT_AC_FILE_IMPGEN_C.

2002-10-25  Albert Chin-A-Young  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: When LDFLAGS="-Wl,-brtl,[other options]", the
        -brtl special-case code for AIX never gets triggered because
        were are being too specific about how we search for -brtl.
        Use case statement to avoid this. Remove extraneous
        semicolon.
        * ltmain.in: Recognize the IBM xlc compiler.

2002-10-24  Andrew Suffield  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopenext): Corrected sense of "file not
        found" check.

2002-10-24  Ossama Othman  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Support compiler names matching g++*

2002-10-23  Bob Friesenhahn  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Removed old Windows cruft.
        * libtool.m4: Adapted pw32 to be like Cygwin/MinGW.

2002-10-23  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        ltmain.in: Do not add 1 to the version under IRIX, it is
        not necessary.

2002-10-15  Charles Wilson  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN): avoid long delay on
        cygwin/Win9x when computing commandline length.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): fix postinstall_cmds when
        sources are in a subdirectory
        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SYSSEARCHPATH): use $PATH_SEPARATOR, not
        $ac_path_separator
        * configure.ac: move depdemo-specific stuff.  You must configure
        libtool before you can try './libtool --features'.
        * mdemo-inst.test: set $PATH to include the directory in which
        the modules are installed (on cygwin, DLL search path is the
        $PATH)

2002-10-15  Bob Friesenhahn <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: MinGW works identically to Cygwin.
        * libtool.m4: lt_cv_sys_max_cmd_len hard-coded to 8192
        *  Model MinGW configuration after Cygwin configuration.
        Some portions share implementation.

2002-10-15  Elizabeth Barham <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Pattern MinGW library naming after that
        used by Cygwin except use 'lib' prefix rather than 'cyg'.
        * Transfer some configuration from Cygwin with adjustments
        for MinGW.

2002-10-15  Albert Chin-A-Young  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: When a module is built for AIX, the 'lib'
        prefix isn't needed, neither is the version. AIX dlopen
        will honor the RPATH in a library.

2002-10-11  Christoph Egger  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS, darwin): Add
        -install_name to the link line only when -dynamiclib is
        specified for a module.  Use -bind_at_load when linking C++
        shared libraries.

2002-10-04  Elizabeth Barham  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): GCC now checks -shared to
        create a dll for Windows targets.

2002-09-24  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Fixed a few spelling errors.

2002-09-17  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Commented out access() call that checks for a
        library file's existence and permissions, as it appears to fail
        in every case.

2002-09-09  Albert Chin-A-Young  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Custom $symcode for Tru64 UNIX to catch 'Q',
        read-only constants.

2002-09-09  Rainer Orth  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (osf[345]): Append $major to soname_spec.
        Reflect this in library_names_spec.
        * ltmain.in (osf): Prefix $major with '.' for use as extension.

2002-08-28  Bob Friesenhahn  <address@hidden>

        * ltdl.m4 & libltdl/ltdl.c: Port fully to native Win32 API.

2002-07-31  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * f77demo/.cvsignore: New file, forgotten in the last commit.

2002-07-31  Eric Lindahl  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): Added support for the new F77
        Fortran support tag.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O, _LT_AC_TAGCONFIG): Support F77 tag.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_F77, _LT_AC_LANG_F77, AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_F77_CONFIG):
        New macros for F77 tag Fortran support.
        * configure.ac: Add support for creating the new F77 tag.
        * bootstrap: Add f77demo directory to the list to be processed.
        * Makefile.am: Add support for FFLAGS and FLIBS.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Add new Fortran tests.
        * tests/f77demo-*.test: New files.
        * f77demo/configure.ac, f77demo/cprogram.c, f77demo/fooc.c
        * f77demo/foof.f, f77demo/foo.h, f77demo/fprogram.f
        * f77demo/Makefile.am, f77demo/README: New files.

2002-07-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (tryall_dlopen): We need to catch missing file
        errors early so that file_not_found() can detect what happened.

2002-06-26  Bob Friesenhahn  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER) [mingw]: Remove
        extraneous '=' character which appears in gcc 3.1
        -print-search-dirs output.
        Handle both upper and lower case drive letters when testing for
        Windows vs POSIX style path output from -print-search-dirs
        output.

2002-06-24  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (Piecewise linking): Add a clause to skip creating
        the export file until the reloadable object file(s) have been
        created, then use them as input for $export_symbols_cmds.

2002-06-23  Albert Chin-A-Young  <address@hidden>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SYS_DLOPEN_DEPLIBS): Need to quote [ and ] for
        Autoconf.

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SYS_DLOPEN_DEPLIBS): HP/UX needs
        libltdl_cv_sys_dlopen_deplibs set to yes.

2002-06-23  Kevin Ryde  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, _LT_AC_LOCK): Use
        AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE to test AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL and
        AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN, necessary for autoconf 2.53.

2002-06-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (argz_insert): Actually, BEFORE can be NULL
        when *PARGZ_LEN is non-NULL, so the assertion to the contrary was
        bogus.
        Reported by Bob Friesenhahn <address@hidden>
        and Albert Chin-A-Young <address@hidden>

2002-06-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (foreach_dirinpath): Ensure that filename is '\0'
        terminated by all code paths.
        Reported by Lutz Müller <address@hidden>

2002-06-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        From Kevin Ryde  <address@hidden>:
        * doc/libtool.texi (Platform quirks): s/dependan/dependen/
        * libtool.m4 (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD): Ditto.
        * TODO: Ditto.

2002-06-13  Rainer Orth  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (irix, nonstopux): Set major before use.

2002-06-11  Daniel Kobras  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (try_dlopen): Don't return bogus handle to user
        if tryall_dlopen() fails.

2002-06-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * tests/pdemo-exec.test: Typo.  s/hell-static/hell_static/

2002-05-31  Charles Wilson  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: Updated.
        * libtool.m4: use $NM to create the symbol list on cygwin, not
        $ltdll_cmds as on mingw.  For all tags, (and host=cygwin) set
        allow_undefined_flag="" so that the --auto-import magic
        works properly.  For all tags (and host=cygiwn) set
        always_export_symbols=no -- it is unnecessary thanks to
        binutils' auto-export magic.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Don't force cygwin to use the LoadLibrary
        wrapper; use cygwin's builtin implementatino of dl*.
        * cdemo/Makefile.am: the downside of unsetting
        'allow_undefined_flag' -- we must include -no-undefined
        in the _la_LDFLAGS variable.
        * depdemo/l1/Makefile.am: ditto.
        * depdemo/l2/Makefile.am: ditto.
        * depdemo/l3/Makefile.am: ditto.
        * depdemo/l4/Makefile.am: ditto.
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: ditto.
        * tagdemo/Makefile.am: ditto.
        * demo/Makefile.am: ditto.  But also, we must make special
        provision to clean up the hell0 wrapper script.
        * pdemo/Makefile.am: ditto -no-undefined.  ditto hell0.
        And use 'hell_static' instead of 'hell.static'.
        * tests/pdemo-inst.test: use 'hell_static' instead
        of 'hell.static'.
        * tests/pdemo-exec.test: ditto.

2002-05-30  Charles Wilson  <address@hidden>

        * tests/build-relink2.test: look for installed libl3.la
        in $prefix/lib/ as well as $prefix/lib/extra/.

2002-05-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * tests/hardcode.test: Use libtool --config to collect the
        variable values for the test, otherwise the tag values interfere
        with a straight grep.

2002-05-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        Finally fix the annoying bug which always adds all tags to the
        libtool script built by your project configure.  Now we set the
        default tags depending on whether AC_PROG_CXX et. al. are actually
        called from configure.ac.

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_TAGCONFIG): Don't default the tagnames when
        no --with-tags argument is given.
        (_LT_AC_SHELL_INIT): Factored out from the AC_DIVERT_PUSH code
        in...
        (_LT_AC_PROG_ECHO_BACKSLASH): ...which now calls the macro
        instead.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CXX): Use _LT_AC_SHELL_INIT to add CXX to the
        initialisation sequence for tagnames.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_GCJ): Similarly for GCJ tag.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_RC): Likewise for RC tag.

2002-05-21  Jon Meredith  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Fix a problem on SCO OpenServer5 that caused a
        failure in three depdemo-make tests. For some reason the linker
        tries to find the dependent libraries using the library search
        path before it has read the libraries specified with absolute
        paths in the full commandline. This patch add -L's for each of
        the dependent library directories so that they can be resolved.

2002-05-09  Nick Hudson  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Update support for NetBSD
        * ltdl.m4: Make sure that libltdl_cv_func_dlopen and
        libltdl_cv_lib_dl_dlopen are set and used instead of the
        ac_cv_ versions. Also, use lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe
        instread of global_symbol_pipe. This fixes the detection of
        dlopen on BSD derived plaforms and more importantly fixes
        need_uscore detection.

2002-05-06  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS): head -1 -> sed 1q to
        port to POSIX 1003.1-2001 hosts, like textutils 2.0.21 with
        _POSIX2_VERSION=200112.

2002-05-06  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Don't assume that "sort +2" works, as POSIX
        1003.1-2001 says that "sort +2" is supposed to sort the file
        named "+2".  An example host that behaves like this is
        textutils 2.0.21 with _POSIX2_VERSION=200112.

2002-05-06  Loren James Rittle  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Detect and handle object name conflicts while
        piecewise linking a static library.

2002-05-02  Dave Vasilevsky  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Remove convenience libraries from deplibs for Darwin.

2002-05-02  Fritz Elfert  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS): Modify archive_expsym_cmds
        to catch properly handle dll alias symbols.

2002-04-24  Kevin Ryde  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN): Use $build_os not $host_os.

2002-04-14  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * doc/libtool.texi (C++ libraries): Finally updated to reflect
        Libtool's support for C++.

2002-04-14  Jean-Frederic Clere  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4: Update support for Fujistu-Siemens Computers (FSC).
        * ltmain.in: Add support for EBCDIC based systems.

2002-04-07  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (LT_AC_PROG_SED): Refactor, removing temporary directory
        and consistent use of the shell variable namespace "lt_ac_".

2002-04-02  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Finish the tag matching logic started yesterday and
        refactor it a bit.

2002-04-01  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Handle the case when no tag is explicitly set, and
        $base_compile has a space in front of $CC, and revert the setting
        of tagname checked in on 2002-3-14.

2002-04-01  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * tagdemo/foo.cpp: Use C++ IO to catch problems linking to C++
        runtime libraries.
        * tagdemo/main.cpp: Ditto.

2002-03-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * TODO: Removed obsolete comments about RMS' package system.

2002-03-14  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        ltmain.in: Touch-up to make testsuite pass, and default tagname
        to CC when it isn't explicitly set.

2002-03-14  Anthony Green  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O): Albert Chin's gcj fix.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_COMPILER_PIC): Per Bothner's change for not
        using -DPIC with gcj.

2002-03-11  Bruce Korb  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in(compile): bring a touch of order to the option processing

2002-02-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: Updated.
        * THANKS: Added Rob Collins and Chuck Wilson for their cygwin
        work.

        From Robert Collins  <address@hidden>:
        * configure.ac (AC_EXEEXT): Needed for DOSish systems.
        * libtool.m4 (shlibpath_overrides_runpath) [cygwin]: Set to yes
        when compiling with gcc.
        (lt_prog_compiler_pic) [cygwin]: No longer needs the -DDLL_EXPORT
        hack, so we just say the pic is the default.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) [cygwin]: Extract symbols from a
        library normally.
        [cygwin]: Declare C++ compiler characterisics for g++, taking into
        account the new auto-import support in cygwin ld.

        * demo/configure.ac (AC_EXEEXT, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL):  Support
        DOSish systems properly.
        * depdemo/configure.ac (AC_EXEEXT, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL):  Ditto.
        * demo/Makefile.am (deplibs-check): Allow for .exe suffix.  Use
        hell_static instead of hell.static for multi-`.' inhibited OSes.
        * tests/demo-exec.test: Ditto.
        * tests/demo-inst.test: Ditto.

        Reverted incorrect patch:
        2001-10-24  H.J. Lu  <address@hidden>

        shared library.
        * libtool.m4 (lt_cv_deplibs_check_method): Always use
        file_magic for Linux ELF.

2002-01-28  Robert Boehne  <address@hidden>

        * libtool.m4 (LT_AC_PROG_SED): New macro tests sed for truncation of
        output.  AC_REQUIRE the new macro.
        * ltmain.in: Use $SED rather than plan old sed, as set by the new
        macro LT_AC_PROG_SED.

2002-01-10  Volker Christian  <address@hidden>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (find_handle_callback): treat the result of a call
        to access(2) correctly when deciding whether a library can be found
        in a directory from user_search_path.
