Code Editor : ChangeLog.1998

1998-12-31  Joseph Beckenbach III <jrb3@best.com>

* ltconfig.in: added support for BeOS
	* ltmain.in (shlibpath_var): added a workaround for
	  an odd bug in the BeOS R4 sed

1998-12-31  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

* verified all copyright notices
	  and updated them to 1999
	* TODO: added some things that need to documented
	* doc/libtool.texi: -export-symbols is not
	  supported on all platforms
	* doc/PLATFORMS: added a few new platforms

1998-12-30  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

* NEWS: updated
	* THANKS: added Todd Vierling <tv@pobox.com>

1998-12-30  Todd Vierling  <tv@pobox.com>

* ltconfig.in: improved shared object handling on both
	  a.out and ELF platforms for NetBSD

1998-12-29  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

* ltconfig.in: do not rely on a leading space when concatenating
	  variables as suggested by Erez Zadok
	* ltmain.in: likewise
	* doc/PLATFORMS: updated and reformatted
	  (thanks to Erez Zadok for the testing)

1998-12-27  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

* THANKS: added Erez Zadok <ezk@shekel.mcl.cs.columbia.edu>

1998-12-26  Erez Zadok  <ezk@shekel.mcl.cs.columbia.edu>

* ltconfig.in: support i486-ncr-sysv4.3.03
	shared libraries.

* ltmain.in: before every ln -s, remove the link name

1998-12-25  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

* depdemo/configure.in: removed last relics of demo
	* depdemo/sysdep.h: ditto
	* mdemo/Makefile.am: ditto
	* libltdl/Makefile.am: fixed the version number, build libltdls if
	  -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  <gary@gnu.org>

* 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* 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  <gary@gnu.org>

* 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 <espy@debian.org>
	* THANKS: added Joel Klecker <espy@debian.org>

1998-12-23  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

* 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

* 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  <gary@gnu.org>

* 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

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

1998-12-21  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

* 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  <gary@gnu.org>

* 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

* 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

* 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

* 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  <gary@gnu.org>

* 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* 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 libltdl+mdemo.  Listed
	recent ports.  Added full URL for the home page.  Note that
	libtool C program is unusable.

1998-12-16  Bruno Haible  <haible@ilog.fr>

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

1998-12-16  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

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

1998-12-16  Stephan Kulow  <coolo@kde.org>

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

1998-12-16  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* 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  <gary@gnu.org>

* 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

* 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

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

1998-12-09  Akim Demaille  <demaille@inf.enst.fr>

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

1998-12-09  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* 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  <gary@gnu.org>

* 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

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

1998-12-07  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* 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  <Manfred.Weichel@pdb.siemens.de>

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

1998-12-03  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

* 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  <gary@gnu.org>

* 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

* 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  <gary@gnu.org>

* 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 <khan@xraylith.wisc.edu>.
	(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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

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

1998-11-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

* 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* 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 <demaille@inf.enst.fr>

1998-11-24  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

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

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

* THANKS: added Chris P. Ross

1998-11-24  Chris P. Ross  <cross@eng.us.uu.net>

* 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  <dlheine@truffle.Stanford.EDU>

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

1998-11-24  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

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

1998-11-22  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

* 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

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

1998-11-18  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

* 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  <sprice@hiwaay.net>

* 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  <coolo@kde.org>

* 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* PORTING: Porting instructions are in the libtool manual already

* NEWS: Mention -export-symbols and new dlpreopen

1998-11-11  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* 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  <gary@gnu.org>

* 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

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

1998-11-10  Toshio Kuratomi  <badger@prtr-13.ucsc.edu>

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

1998-11-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@trick.fig.org>

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

1998-11-07  William M. Perry  <wmperry@aventail.com>

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

1998-11-07  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

* 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  <fraioli@dg-rtp.dg.com>

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

1998-11-04  Michael Tiemann  <tiemann@cygnus.com>

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

1998-11-04  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

* THANKS: Added Thomas Tanner and Gary V. Vaughan

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

1998-11-04  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

* mdemo/*: added new demo to demonstrate building of dlopenend
	modules
	* tests/Makefile.am, tests/mdemo*: added some tests for mdemo

1998-11-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

* 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

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