        libtoolize: fix ltdl installation order.
        Fixes regression caused by commit 99a808be.
        Makefile.in has aclocal.m4 as prerequisite, so Makefile.in
        should be installed later to avoid unnecessary rebuild by
        (versioned) aclocal.
        * Makefile.am (pkgltdl_files): Move the Makefile.in file down in
        the list after aclocal.m4.
        * tests/libtoolize.at: Adjust to match reordered output.

2014-12-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        libtool: check Sun Pro CXX ABI postdeps at libtool time.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PREPARE_CC_BASENAME): Factor cc_basename
        calculation into a shell function...
        (_LT_CONFIG_SAVE_COMMAND): ...and expand it into generated
        libtool script.
        (_LT_CC_BASENAME): Adjust accordingly.
        (_LT_FUNC_SUNCC_CSTD_ABI): Remove from here...
        * build-aux/ltmain.in (func_suncc_cstd_abi): ...and reimplement
        here.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_HIDDEN_LIBDEPS): Remove postdeps
        augmentation from here...
        * build-aux/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): ...and reimplement here
        just before postdeps are added.
        * NEWS: Update.

        libtool: more carefully avoid automatic -Cstd -Crun on Sun Pro CXX.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_FUNC_SUNCC_CSTD_ABI): New function factored out
        of repeated code.  Take note of other known -Cstd incompatible
        compiler flags.
        (_LT_SYS_HIDDEN_LIBDEPS): Use it to determine whether -Cstd -Crun
        can be safely added to postdeps with Sun Pro CXX.
        * NEWS: Update.
        * NO-THANKS: Add Marc Glisse.
        Reported by Marc Glisse

        libtool: take care not to double-apply LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CONFIG_SAVE_COMMANDS): Copy configure-time
        LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH settings as default, but allow run-time
        override.
        (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Save the unmunged
        sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec value, and use it for _LT_DECL,
        but then munge it with LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH for use in ltdl.m4
        macros, such as LT_SYS_DLSEARCH_PATH.

2014-12-11  Pavel Raiskup  <praiskup@redhat.com>

        libtool: support LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH for adjusting bad guesses.
        Revert 8728e07 and 440fee6.
        Some GNU/Linux distributions install libraries into /lib64 (or
        /usr/lib64) on 64-bit machines, while /lib (/usr/lib
        respectively) stays for multilib variant.  Other distributions
        keep /usr/lib for 64-bit variant and reserve other directory for
        multilib. Detection of what approach a given system uses is
        difficult, however, especially because Glibc's ldconfig does not
        report the full and correct list of search paths. Allow the user
        to adjust Libtools heuristically determined search paths with
        the new LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable at both
        compile-time, when libtool is called, and at configure time.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PREPARE_MUNGE_PATH_LIST): Define a new
        function to munge a libtool path list according to a user
        supplied colon-delimited path.
        (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Require _LT_PREPARE_MUNGE_PATH_LIST.
        Mark LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH as precious to autoconf (to survive
        automatic "autoreconf").
        Call the new func_munge_path_list function on
        sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec - this propagates results to
        generated libtool script.
        (_LT_CONFIG): Expand _LT_PREPARE_MUNGE_PATH_LIST into generated
        libtool script.
        * build-aux/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Call it to adjust
        sys_lib_dlsearch_path according to LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Document new LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH.
        * doc/notes.texi: Likewise.
        * NEWS: Update.

        libtool: s390x is also a 64bit glibc/ELF platform.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LIB): Add s390x to glibc/ELF
        compatible CPUs that have /lib64 and /usr/lib64 in
        sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec.

        tests: do not assume compiler prefers shared libraries.
        Testing whether -static-libtool-libs causes a non-libtool library to be
        linked dynamically is effectively a test of the compiler's preference in
        this case.  The Cray compiler prefers static libraries if not told
        otherwise.
        * tests/static.at [static linking flags for programs]: Do not expect
         -static-libtool-libs to fail.

        The run-time loader does not search /usr/local or subdirectories
        by default on ia64 HP-UX.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Fix

        libltdl: edit AM_CPPFLAGS correctly for libltdl/Makefile.am.
        * libltdl/ltdl.mk (AM_CPPFLAGS): Make sure the sed expression to
        remove the first libltdl/ on each line is not confused by misuse
        of linebreaks.
        * Makefile.am (lt_Makefile_am): Also edit out the duplicated

        libtool: optional filename-based shlib versioning on aix.
        Support filename-based shared library versioning on AIX with the
        lib.so library filename extension, which is used with runtime
        linking only. Runtime linking is enabled by the -brtl linker
        flag for executables and the -G linker flag for Shared Objects.
        The behaviour is similar to Linux/SVR4 DT_SONAME, hence the name
        "aix-soname=svr4".
        * Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass with_aix_soname value
        via lt_cv_with_aix_soname into testsuite.
        * configure.ac: AC_SUBST with_aix_soname for testsuite.
        * libltdl/loaders/dlopen.c (vm_open): Use RTLD_MEMBER flag for
        dlopen when the filename does specify an archive member between
        "()". Otherways, retry with appending LT_SHARED_LIB_MEMBER when
        loading fails without but archive file seems to exist.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (dynamic_linker): Describe configured shared
        library versioning variant according to with_aix_soname and
        runtime linking.
        (soname_spec, library_names_spec, shlibpath_overrides_runpath)
        (postinstall_cmds, postuninstall_cmds, hardcode_direct)
        (hardcode_direct_absolute, no_undefined_flag)
        (allow_undefined_flag): Set according to with_aix_soname and
        runtime linking configuration.
        (export_symbols_cmds): Decorate symbols with the weak keyword.
        (archive_expsym_cmds): Create both shared libraries according to
        with_aix_soname and runtime linking configuration. Filter -brtl
        linker flag from compiler_flags for shared libraries due to its
        side effects.
        (enable_static): Respect with_aix_soname for disabling as well.
        * m4/ltdl.m4 (LT_SHARED_LIB_MEMBER): Define, set based on the
        value of the shared_archive_member_spec libtool variable.
        * m4/ltoptions.m4 (_LT_WITH_AIX_SONAME): New. Provides
        commandline option --with-aix-soname=aix|svr4|both. Declares
        $shared_archive_member_spec as libtool variable.
        (_LT_SET_OPTIONS): Define LT_INIT options "aix-soname=aix",
        "aix-soname=svr4", "aix-soname=both". Default is
        "aix-soname=aix".
        * doc/libtool.texi (LT_INIT): Document new options.
        * tests/deplibs-ident.at: To define whether this test should
        XFAIL, use hardcode_action, hardcode_direct,
        hardcode_direct_absolute configuration settings instead of
        platforms aix, bitrig, hppa-hpux, interix or openbsd.
        * tests/versioning.at: When shared_archive_member_spec is defined
        and LDFLAGS contain -brtl, we can run the versioning check.
        * NEWS: Update.

        libtoolize: no need for umask 0 now that copying does not use tar.
        The umask calls seem to be left over as a workaround for several
        releases ago when libtoolize copied libltdl sources with the help
        of tar.  Now that we use cp or ln -s exclusively, this just
        needlessly makes the files world writable; we should just respect
        the users' own umask setting.
        * libtoolize.in (func_copy): Remove umask 0 calls and simplify.

        * build-aux/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Replace conflicting
        freebsd-elf version_type case branches with a single calculation
        setting major and versuffix to match downstream FreeBSD.

        libtool: split sco version into its own type.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Set version type to

        calling AC_SEARCH_LIBS, which prepends to LIBS by default, and
        restore afterwards.  We set LIBADD_DLOPEN and LIBADD_SHL_LOAD
        so that dynamic loader libraries can be added selectively only
        where they are needed.
        * NEWS: Update.

        tests: do not test undef symbols across shlibs on AIX.
        On AIX, undefined symbols across shared libraries can work only
        when the main program explicitly exports those symbols. As this
        is bad practice anyway and -no-undefined should be preferred, we
        skip this.
        * tests/template.at: Skip test with undef syms across libraries
        on AIX.

        tests: question mark is extended regex for non-GNU grep.
        Accepting \? for at-most-once in basic regex is a GNU grep
        extension, not accepted by AIX grep for example.
        * tests/libtool.at: Use \{0,1\} instead of ? with GREP.

        bootstrap: make sure gnulib file droppings are removed.
        * bootstrap.conf (libtool_cleanup_empty_dirs): Recent bootstrap
        updates set source_base to null, so we need to use ${x:-y} to
        override the null.  Autoconf Shellology says that ancient BSD
        /bin/sh chokes on :- defaults, but bootstrap is a developer tool,
        and so we can reasonably expect a developer to have a working
        /bin/sh to run the bootstrap script.

        bootstrap: add missing debug preambles.

        In particular, openSuSE on x86_64 uses CONFIG_SITE to set libdir

        libtool: support Mac OS 10.10 and newer.
        The current template mistakenly treats a MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
        value of "10.10" as "10.1" followed by junk. Thinking that the
        build is targeting 10.1 Puma instead of 10.10 Yosemite, it tells
        the linker to ignore undefined symbols instead of dynamically
        resolving them. This can cause runtime crashes* and will affect
        subsequent versions of OS X.

        libtool: fix nm test for MSYS/MinGW
        The check for the -B option of nm does not work as intended on MSYS/MinGW.
        MSYS converts /dev/null to the DOW/Windows "equivanent" special file NUL,
        but the MinGW nm treats this file as any empty file. This means that
        you might end up with some fallback nm instead of the desired nm. This
        is not normally a problem, but if one nm is built without lto support, it
        starts to matter.

        Fixes sr #108558, reported by LRN.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_PATH_NM) [MSYS]: Use a non-existant file instead of
        /dev/null when checking if nm supports -B.

        (libtool_autoreconf_libltdl): New hook function to run second
        autoreconf in libltdl directory.

        Now that we generate bootstrap.new with no write permission,

        Remove write bit from regenerated bootstrap.new if it differs
        from incumbent bootstrap.
        Change the update instructions to recommend `mv -f` to cope with
        no write permission on old bootstrap script.

        bootstrap: move included files below DO NOT EDIT comment.
        * gl/build-aux/bootstrap.in: Reorder sections to load external
        libraries as late as possible, leaving DO NOT EDIT comment
        visible near the top of the generated bootstrap script.

        maint: use before-save-hook in Emacs footers.

        libtoolize: use printf '%s\n' unconditionally.
        It's been a year since the as_echo probes were removed in Autoconf,
        so we can follow suit and remove our equivalent bs_echo probing
        now.  Retain $ECHO in case users need to override default printf
        calls in museum piece environments.
        * gl/build-aux/funclib.sh (ECHO): Default to 'printf %s\n'.
        (bs_echo): Remove.
        Adjust all bs_echo callers to use $ECHO instead.

        tests: gcj cannot reliably compile directly to .o from .java
        Some 4.3.x and 4.4.x releases of gcj insert a spurious 'dummy'
        symbol into every object file when compiling directly from .java
        to .o:

        testsuite: with SunStudio12.x f77, don't fail on system symbols
        Modern SunStudio f77 is just a wrapper for f90, which
        explains why current master fails these test groups with:

         Undefined      first referenced
          symbol            in file
         __f90_slw_ch      .libs/foof2.o
         __f90_sslw        .libs/foof2.o
         __f90_eslw        .libs/foof2.o
         ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors. No output written to
        .libs/libfoo2.so.0.0.0

        So we allow some undefined symbols in the libraries, which are
        resolved by the $(FLIBS) added to the final binaries in the tests.
        This seems like the simpler, and less error inducing solution to
        me (compared to adding $(FLIBS) to every library LDFLAGS line).
        * tests/f77demo.at (libfoo_la_LDFLAGS, libfoo2_la_LDFLAGS)
        (libfoo3_la_LDFLAGS, libmix_la_LDFLAGS): Remove -no-undefined
        flag.

        maint: use $SED and $GREP, not sed and grep in all scripts.
        Choosing between hardcoding a tool's name, or using the shell
        variable with a path to the user's prefered implementation or
        configure's idea of the best available is a premature
        optimisation.
        * build-aux/ltmain.in, gl/build-aux/bootstrap.in,
        gl/build-aux/extract-trace, gl/build-aux/funclib.sh,
        libtoolize.in: Use $SED and $GREP consistently throughout,
        instead of hardcoding sed and grep.
        * bootstrap: Regenerate.

        tests: use TESTS_ENVIRONMENT for EGREP and FGREP.
        Be consistent about passing commands to the testsuite, and use
        TESTS_ENVIRONMENT consistent.
        * Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add EGREP and FGREP.
        * tests/testsuite.at: Remove EGREP and FGREP extractions from
        generated libtool script.

        tests: use $GREP throughout.
        Trust the user, and use $GREP from TESTS_EVVIRONMENT uniformly.
        * Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add GREP setting.

        tests/static.at, tests/sysroot.at, tests/template.at,
        tests/testsuite.at, tests/versioning.at: Replace all hardcoded grep
        invocations with $GREP.

        tests: use $SED throughout.
        Trust the user, and use $SED from TESTS_ENVIRONMENT uniformly.
        Hardcoding 'sed' for "simple" edits is a premature optimisation.
        * tests/cdemo.at, tests/cmdline_wrap.at, tests/cwrapper.at,
        tests/darwin.at, tests/demo.at, tests/duplicate_conv.at,
        tests/duplicate_members.at, tests/execute-mode.at, tests/export.at,

        tests/sysroot.at, tests/tagdemo.at, tests/testsuite.at: Replace all
        hardcoded sed invocations with $SED.

        tests: run cmdline_wrap last, or not at all if anything else failed.
        * Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Move stresstest.at and cmdline_wrap.at
        to the end of the list.
        * tests/cmdline_wrap.at: If previous tests have failed, then we
        already know that rerunning them will fail too, so save time by
        skipping in that case.

        configury: remove spurious g modifier in sed expression.
        * Makefile.am (rebuild): Remove useless g modifier from sed
        expression.

        configury: use $(SED) where input does not end in newline.
        On Solaris machines the system sed does not process the last
        line of input unless it ends with a newline, which means it
        cannot be used to massage the output of git-version-gen, because
        it deliberately omits the terminating newline.
        * Makefile.am (rebuild): Use the sed command found by configure,
        which has a better chance of working properly than the first sed
        on PATH.

        tests: skip fcdemo checks when $FC cannot compile fortran90.
        Avoid spurious fcdemo failures when Autoconf picks f77 or
        similar for a fortran90 compiler.
        * tests/testsuite.at (LT_AT_TAG): Using FC and FCFLAGS from make
        TESTS_ENVIRONMENT, check that we really can compile fortran90
        or else skip.

        funclib.sh: improve comments.
        * gl/build-aux/funclib.sh: Add a comment explaining the need for
        extra SED and GREP searches.

        libtool: Don't fall back to static libraries if building them was disabled
        If -no-undefined was not specified but the platform didn't
        support shared libraries with undefined symbols (e.g. Cygwin/
        MinGW), static libraries were built instead of shared ones,
        even if building them was explicitly disabled with --disable-
        static configure option.

        Fix this by stopping with a fatal error if a shared library
        can't be built in this case instead of unexpectedly building a
        static library instead.

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link()): Stop with
        fatal error when trying to build a shared library without -no-
        undefined on a platform not supporting undefined symbols in
        shared libraries.

        libtool: Fix x86_64-pc-solaris2.* GNU ld breakage
        Since commit [1] libtool tries to set a 64-bits target for GNU
        ld.  However, it does so wrongly for x86_64-pc-solaris2.*
        targets, causing libtool to believe the linker is called
        ld_sol2.  There is no such thing, and it obviously breaks
        things further down.  Some people wrongly assume there is
        supposed to be an ld_sol2 on their systems, e.g. [2].

        I think the original change is fragile, because it assumes it
        has all CHOSTs matched, then appends _sol2.  In the wild,
        people have used amd64-pc-solaris2* too, so perhaps it would
        be safer if the code only appended _sol2 if there is actually
        an explicit target set.

        Anyhow, since the 64-bits sparc target is called sparc64-* or
        sparcv9-*, the sparc case is already correctly handled, so in
        the attached patch, I just added an x86_64-* case, although I
        could imagine relaxing the i?86 case to *86*-pc-solaris2* too.

        In any case, defaulting to a linker called ld_sol2 is wrong.

        libtool: Fix detection of ld version with parentheses.
        ld from crosstool-NG reports a version string with an extra
        version number in a parenthetical note:
        GNU ld (crosstool-NG 1.13.0) 2.21.1

        This made libtool assume that the ld version was the
        crosstool-NG version (1.13.0) instead of the real ld version
        (2.21.1).

        To fix the ld version string, this patch filters out any string
        between parentheses that is followed by a space.

        Because of this bug, filtering of exported symbols was not
        taking place with crosstool-NG toolchains.

        This issue has bee noticed when building pango, which exported
        harfbuzz symbols that should have remained hidden.

        libtool: Fix $wl setting for tcc on GNU systems
        (This addresses http://bugs.debian.org/663945.  See there for
        more-detailed discussion.)

        tcc gained support for "-Wl,-rpath -Wl,<directory>" in its
        commit 7fb0482a ("Support linker options passed in several -Wl
        param", 2012-03-14) but libtool doesn't know to use it.  Teach
        it.

        Without this change, running "make check" on MPFR when it has
        been built with tcc and shared libraries doesn't work because
        libtool generates a -rpath option, which tcc doesn't support.

        libtool: Haiku change for shlibpath_overrides_runpath
        Pretty much all changes to Haiku for Libtool have been
        upstreamed, however we currently have an incorrect value for
        shlibpath_overrides_runpath.  It should be "no" instead of
        "yes".

        Previously Scott McCreary had submitted patches for us, but I
        told him I would work to get this committed, as he is quite
        busy lately.

        Here is a commit he made to our Haiku Ports site though, that
        shows the exact change I am proposing done against Libtool
        2.4.2.

        libtool: Discard "-mllvm $arg" options when linking.
        Clang accepts options of the form "-mllvm $arg", and passes the
        argument as an option to LLVM.  These options caused problems
        for Libtool when linking; in some cases, the -mllvm option is
        passed through but the corresponding argument is dropped.  (See
        for example http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=14716.)

        This patch resolves the issue by explicitly matching -mllvm and
        taking an argument.  Since Clang never uses LLVM for linking,
        the matched "-mllvm $arg" option is irrelevant for the link
        step, and we can simply discard it once we've recognized it.

        libtool: Add Android/Linux support.
        This patch adds proper Android support to libtool. The main
        issues are the following:

          - Versioned libraries are not supported by the platform and
            its build/packaging tools.

          - The dynamic linker is not GNU ld, there is no support for
            DT_RUNPATH.

          - Similarly, there is no ldconfig.

        libtool: trust -print-search-dirs from recent GCC
        Alan Modra hints in [1] that -print-search-dirs was fixed in
        GCC 4.2(?), so that it nowadays automatically appends
        -print-multi-os-directory for the applicable directories. I.e.
        it should no longer be necessary for libtool to append a second
        ../lib64 when GCC has already done so. Also, the multi-os
        appending loop seems to have been added specifically for early
        (arguably broken) bi-arch enabled GCCs that printed -m32
        directories even though -m64 was the default [2]. So, my
        conclusion is that we want any libtool magic to affect
        -print-search-dirs output from contemporary GCCs as little as
        possible, while continuing to append the
        -print-multi-os-directory for the legacy case.

        Fixes bug#15321 reported by Ozkan Sezer.

        itself and hence don't try to second guess when to add
        it manually.

        * gl/build-aux/bootstrap.in (func_gitignore_entries): New function.
        Strip comments and blank lines.
        (func_insert_sorted_if_absent): Renamed...
        (func_insert_if_absent): ...to this. Adjust all callers.
        Instead of comparing the sorted new file with the original,
        compare the line count, being careful to diagnose duplicate
        entries which would otherwise skew the count.

        maint: patch gitlog-to-changelog to reduce bogus warnings.
        Rather than trying to find a new useful warning among the 55
        expected warnings from vanilla gitlog-to-changelog, patch it to
        elide the bogus warnings from duplicate log entries.
        * gl/bulid-aux/gitlog-to-changelog.diff: Omit-from-ChangeLog is
        a new log entry tag to skip legitimate log duplicates.
        * build-aux/git-log-fix: Instead of deleting all content of
        duplicates and generating a warning, append the new
        Omit-from-ChangeLog tag to elide silently.
        * Makefile.am *($(changelog)): Remove the 'expect 55 warnings'
        echo.

        libtool: allow tabs in *_cmds variables
        This is in preparation for the next patch, which needs to have literal
        tab characters survive the evaluation of the *_cmds variables.

        build-aux/ltmain.in (func_execute_cmds, func_mode_link): Don't collapse
        tabs and surrounding whitespace into a single space when executing a
        tilde-separated cmds construct, instead keep any tabs intact.

2013-01-19  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        libtool: avoid tabs in all *_cmds variables.
        This is in preparation for the next change, which will preserve
        tabs when the *_cmds variables are evaluated. Removing tabs first
        ensures that the libtool output stays the same when tabs are not
        collapsed with surrounding whitespace.

        m4/libtool.m4: Convert indenting tabs to spaces for all *_cmds
        variables.

2013-01-16  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        <archive_cmds>: Specify the import library name, aligning with
        archive_expsym_cmds.

        libtool: feed .def files verbatim to the MSVC linker
        m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS, _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG) [MSVC]
        <archive_expsym_cmds>: When the symbol list isn't really a symbol list,
        but instead a .def file, copy it to a file with .def extension so that
        MSVC recognizes it as a module-definition file and feed it verbatim.

        Revert "libtool: use false or : for $always_export_symbols, and simplify"
        This reverts commit 5ed7430fcb48c862c9d76ef497b73485d580338e, which is
        totally bogus as the variable is also set in libtool.m4. Sorry for the
        noise.

        libtool: use false or : for $always_export_symbols, and simplify
        * build-aux/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Save a string comparison
        by setting $lways_export_symbols to false or : and using it directly
        as the first argument to if. Make sure that it is always initialized
        while at it.

        tests: fix nits in path handling
        tests/bindir.at: func_save_and_prepend_path is already checking
        $bindirneeded internally, so remove checks from call sites. Add
        proper quoting while at it.
        (func_save_and_prepend_path): Use $PATH_SEPARATOR instead of a literal
        colon (in both instances).

2013-01-08  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        libtool: simplify quoting and code for symbols exporting sed programs
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS, _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG) [MSVC]
        <archive_expsym_cmds>: Make the sed programs easier to read (and
        recover some backslashes for later in the process).

2013-01-03  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        tests: don't feed -no-undefined to the linker during configure.
        * tests/deplibs-mingw.at: Restore LDFLAGS for the configure run so that

        skip on MinGW.

        libtool: Drop $LDFLAGS when invoking the toolchain
        m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG) [Solaris] <archive_cmds>: Drop
        $LDFLAGS as it is a user variable that is usually used when invoking
        libtool. As such, it should not be used by libtool when it invokes the
        toolchain as it contains options intended for libtool, not the
        toolchain. Fixes export.at and other tests that add -no-undefined to
        LDFLAGS.

2012-12-19  Richard Palo  <richard.palo@baou.fr>  (tiny change)

        libtool: Add SONAME to the so when exporting explicit symbols on Solaris
        m4/libtool.m (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG) [Solaris] <archive_expsym_cmds>: Feed

        libtool: add @INIT@ to the preloader, for data imports on Windows
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS) [dumpbin]: Adjust
        lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_to_cdecl so that it declares imported
        data symbols as __declspec(dllimport). Adjust
        lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_to_c_name_address and
        lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_to_c_name_address_lib_prefix so that they
        fill in "(void*) 0" for imported data symbols. Add new
        lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_to_import which finds imported data
        symbols if non-empty and export this variable to the libtool script
        in the global_symbol_to_import variable. Adjust
        lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe so that data imports can be located.
        * build-aux/ltmain.in (func_generate_dlsyms): When data imports
        are present, as indicated by global_symbol_to_import, generate
        a relocation function lt_syminit that fills in the addresses
        of data imports at runtime and point to the new function with a
        new virtual @INIT@ entry in the symbol list.
        * libltdl/loaders/preopen.c (add_symlist): Look for the virtual
        @INIT@ symbol (i.e. lt_syminit) and call it.
        (vm_sym): Step past the @INIT@ symbol, if present.
        * tests/demo.at (dlmain.c): Call the @INIT@ symbol, if present.
        * NEWS: Update.

        libtool: unify the global symbol transformations
        Since it is safe for $lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_to_cdecl to match
        with a simple /^T .* .*$/ type expression, it is ok for the other
        transformations as well.  At least if you require at least one
        $symcode at the start of the line, so that the just generated output
        doesn't match the next sed expression.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): Unify the matching expressions
        in the sed programs that transform the extracted symbol lines.

2012-11-02  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        libtool: break up long lines

        bootstrap: use a decent awk if /bin/awk is hopeless.
        Bootstrap used to fail without an explicit AWK environment
        setting on machines with both nawk and awk, but where awk is a
        museum piece.
        * gl/build-aux/inline-source (AWK): Remove initial setting.
        (require_awk): Search PATH for a gawk, mawk or nawk before
        settling on awk, just like configure does.
        (func_include): Use it.

        bootstrap: be sure to register gnulib submodule.
        * gl/build-aux/bootstrap.in (require_gnulib_submodule): Register
        the gnulib submodule before updating it, even with a shallow
        clone of gnulib.
        * bootstrap: Regenerate.
        Reported by Robert Boehne.

        bootstrap: fix a typo in a find invocation.

        maint: fix missing command error in make dist.
        * Makefile.am ($(readme)): Don't forget the 'test'!

        tests: fixup experr for addition whitespace in error prefix.
        Fix spurious test failures due to unmatched experr output.
        * tests/libtoolize.at, tests/old-ltdl-iface.at: Add the addition
        2 spaces now used to justify error prefixes.

        bootstrap: use of ';' in sed scripts is not portable.
        * gl/build-aux/bootstrap.in (require_buildreq_automake)
        (require_dotgitmodules_parameters, require_package)
        (func_update_po_files): Use '\n' or -e to separate sed commands,
        instead of ';'.
        * gl/build-aux/extract-trace (func_autoconf_configure)
        (func_extract_trace_first): Likewise.
        * gl/funclib.sh: Likewise.
        (func_tr_sh): Likewise.

        * bootstrap: Regenerate.
        Reported by Robert Boehne.

        bootstrap: don't $tc_standout spaces, it's ugly!
        * gl/build-aux/funclib.sh (func_error): Move the prefix indent
        before $tc_standout to avoid bright red inverse spaces.
        * bootstrap: Regenerate.

        bootstrap: fix rectangle select induced trailing spaces.
        * gl/build-aux/funclib.sh (require_term_colors): Delete trailing
        whitespace.
        * bootstrap: Regenerate.

        bootstrap: display prerequisite program environment vars.
        Be more helpful when a prerequisite program from $buildreq
        cannot be located, by showing what variable to export if it
        is already installed but not in PATH.
        * gl/build-aux/bootstrap.in (func_check_versions): Display
        associated environment variables for not found prerequisite
        programs.
        * bootstrap: Regenerate.

        bootstrap: honor COLORTERM and USE_ANSI_COLORS.
        Plenty of machines use a terminfo database that doesn't have
        entries for color escape sequences, even though the terminal
        itself most likely supports ANSI color escapes.
        * gl/build-aux/funclib.sh (require_term_colors): If COLORTERM
        or USE_ANSI_COLORS are set, then ignore what terminfo says,
        and use standard ANSI color escape sequences.
        * bootstrap: Regenerate.

        bootstrap: make error messages prettier.
        * gl/build-aux/funclib.sh (func_error): Indent 'error' prefix by
        two additional spaces to line up nicely with 'warning' and
        'running'.
        * bootstrap: Regenerate.

2012-10-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        bootstrap: emphasize command executions with terminal bold.
        * bootstrap.in (func_show_eval): Use $require_term_colors to
        embolden the command about to be executed in output.
        * bootstrap: Regenerate.
        * bootstrap.conf (libtool_build_prerequisites): Use the standard
        (colorful!) bootstrap func_show_eval here too.

        bootstrap: show output from 'make bootstrap-deps'.
        * bootstrap.conf (libtool_build_prerequisites): Add support for
        AM_V_GEN and AM_V_at to the temporary pre-configure Makefile.
        Instead of eliding non-error output from bootstrap-deps, show
        the results, with verbosity set according to $opt_verbose.
        * Makefile.am (m4/ltversion.m4, build-aux/ltmain.sh, libtool)
        (README): Fix the display rules to correctly fall-back to
        AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY when V=1 is not passed to make invocation.

        imported from DLLs by import libraries in the Microsoft dumpbin
        wrapper.
        (LT_PATH_NM): Add -headers option if dumpbin is the located name
        lister to feed the above new code.
        * NEWS: Update.

        libtool: make func_win32_libid work when the name lister is MS dumpbin
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CHECK_MAGIC_METHOD) [MSVC]: Use
        func_win32_libid as file_magic_cmd when the name lister
        is MS dumpbin.

        (func_win32_libid): ...which now uses them to determine if
        the object is an import library when the nm_interface is
        "MS dumpbin".
        * NEWS: Update.

2012-10-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        bootstrap: always extract only the first AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR arg.
        Previous versions of bootstrap concatenated all the arguments to
        multiple invocations of AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR when extracting the
        macro_dir directory name.  This change enforces correct and
        consistent behaviour.
        * libtoolize.in (func_require_macro_dir): Use the new
        func_extract_trace_first function to make sure the first argument
        is always used.
        (func_require_aux_dir, func_require_gnulib_mk)
        (func_require_source_base): Future proof these functions against
        multiple invocations or additional arguments to the macros they
        trace.

        bootstrap: extract *first* ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS -I argument.
        * bootstrap (func_require_macro_dir): .* is greedy, so _G_sed_scan
        as it was will always return the last -I argument, which is wrong.
        Move to a shell loop to ensure we always get the first -I argument
        if any.  (code from libtoolize.in).

        bootstrap: use short gnu.org urls consistently.
        * bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Use gnu.org/s/ style urls to match
        the ones added automatically by the main bootstrap script.

        libtoolize: fix a misspelled variable name.
        * libtoolize.in (func_require_am_macro_dir): The loop uses _G_arg
        not _G_opt.  Now spelled correctly.

        tests: always extract only the first AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR arg.
        Previous releases of libtoolize used the final invocation when
        there were several, and after the rewrite over extract-trace,
        all the invocation directories were concatenated.  This change
        enforces correct and consistent behaviour.
        * tests/libtoolize.at (multiple AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR invocation):
        New test.
        * build-aux/extract-trace (func_extract_trace_first): New function
        for clients that source this file, which returns only the first
        argument to the first invocation of the named macros.
        * libtoolize.in (func_require_ac_macro_dir): Use it to make sure
        the first argument is always used.
        (func_require_ac_aux_dir, func_require_ac_ltdl_dir)
        (func_require_ac_ltdl_options): Future proof these functions against
        multiple invocations or additional arguments to the macros they
        trace.
        * News (Important incompatible changes): Note change in semantics.
        Reported by Eric Blake.

        tests: always extract only the first ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS include arg.
        * tests/libtoolize.at (libtoolize ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS extraction):
        New test.
        * libtoolize.in (func_check_macros): Display the correct advice
        when ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS specifies a macrodir, but AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR
        does not.

        doc: add a missing period following @xref.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Silence a warning by adding back a missing
        period.

        libtool: avoid non-underscore symbols in the "dumpbin -symbols" wrapper
        If an object has a symbol lacking an expected leading underscore,
        the symbol name is not printed, but the symbol type is, leading
        to output such as:
            T _normal _normal
            T T _another _another
        when the expected output would have been something like:
            T _normal _normal
            T no_underscore no_underscore
            T _another _another
        However, symbols lacking an expected leading underscore are
        not "real" symbols, they are internal symbols which we don't
        care about, therefore drop them instead.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS) [MSVC]: Output the whole
        symbol line in one go.
        * NEWS: Update.

2012-10-18  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        libtool: unbreak Windows path quoting
        The lt_sed_naive_backslashify variable lost its lt_ prefix
        when m4sh was dropped. But not everywhere.
        * build-aux/ltmain.in (func_convert_core_file_wine_to_w32)
        (func_convert_core_msys_to_w32): Drop the lt_ prefix from
        the lt_sed_naive_backslashify variable.

        libtool: kill leftover m4 quoting
        * build-aux/ltmain.in (func_mode_compile): Use literal ] and [.

2012-10-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        syntax-check: exclude false positive nested quote test.
        * build-aux/funclib.sh (func_echo_infix_1): These quotes are not
        actually nested, so add an exclude marker for the syntax-check.

        libtool: don't set auxscriptsdir at bootstrap time.
        * build-aux/ltmain.in: Declare relative paths to aux scripts from
        source commands, for early inlining during bootstrap.
        * Makefile.am (bootstrap_edit): Move auxscriptsdir
        substitution from here....
        (configure_edit): ...to here.
        ($(ltmain_sh)): Feed ltmain.in through inline-source as ltmain.sh
        is generated to remove relative paths to aux scripts.
        (install-data-local): Simplify. No need for special treatment for
        ltmain.sh during installation, since aux scripts have already
        been inlined.
        Reported by Peter Rosin.

        extract-trace: only source funclib.sh when $progname is extract-trace.
        * build-aux/extract-trace: $usage is too generic, and can cause
        sourced extract-trace to re-source options-parser.  We already
        require that funclib.sh be sourced before sourcing options-parser,
        so it's safer to check that $progname is correct before sourcing
        options-parser again from here.

        libtool: fix spelling nit

        maint: remove m4sh support.
        Now that the code base has coalesced around a single option
        parser, there's no need for the unused getopt.m4sh and support.
        * build-aux/getopt.m4sh, build-aux/general.m4sh,
        tests/getopt-m4sh.at: Remove.
        * Makefile.am (m4sh_dir, LT_M4SH, general_m4sh, getopt_m4sh)
        (sh_files): Remove.
        (TESTSUITE_AT): Remove tests/getopt-m4sh.at.
        (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Remove M4SH.
        * bootstrap.conf (libtool_build_prerequisites): Remove M4SH.
        * configure.ac (M4SH): Remove.
        * HACKING (Editing `.m4sh' Files): Remove and renumber following
        sections.

        libtool: rewritten over funclib.sh instead of general.m4sh.
        * Makefile.am (ltmain_m4sh, ltmain_sh_edit): Remove.
        (ltmain_in): Path to ltmain.in.
        (ltmain_sh): Generate ltmain.sh from ltmain.in using
        $(bootstrap_edit).
        * build-aux/ltmain.m4sh: Remove.
        * build-aux/ltmain.in: Rewritten as a client of funclib.sh.

        libtoolize: inline sourced helper scripts during install.
        * build-aux/inline-source: New file.
        * Makefile.am (inline_source): Path to inline-source script.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute inline-source too.
        (helper_scripts): Remove.
        (install-data-local): Inline sourced helper scripts during
        installation.
        Don't install helper_scripts.
        (uninstall-hook): Don't uninstall helper_scripts.

        libtoolize: rewritten over funclib.sh instead of general.m4sh.
        * Makefile.am (libtoolize_m4sh): Remove.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Delete libtoolize_m4sh.
        (libtoolize_in): Remove rule.
        (libtoolize): Apply bootstrap_edit to libtoolize.in too.
        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR): Refer to libtoolize.in.
        * libtoolize.m4sh: Remove.
        * libtoolize.in: Rewrite as a client of options-parser and the
        new funclib.sh, avoiding the m4sh expansion step.
        * tests/libtoolize.at, tests/old-ltdl-iface.at (experr): adjust
        to match funclib.sh error output.

        options-parser: correctly quote shell meta-characters in arguments.
        When any argument contains a shell meta-character, it needs to be
        quoted when passed around.  We already pass parameter lists as
        space delimited strings of arguments, and pass the string through
        eval to turn it back into a list before re-assigning using `set'.
        To prevent the shell from interpreting any meta-characters during
        an `eval set dummy $argumentlist', they must be quoted again
        inside the quoted argument list.
        * build-aux/funclib.sh (func_quote_for_eval): Be careful to keep
        a separate tally of quoted and unquoted argument lists, to
        conform to the API of the single argument func_quote_for_eval
        implementation in build-aux/general.m4sh.
        * bulid-aux/options-parser (func_run_hooks): To account for the
        doubly quoted meta-character argument lists, we must eval the
        parameter reassignment `set' call separately from evaluating the
        dynamically named hook results variable.

        maint: factor common shell code into build-aux/funclib.sh.
        Moving potentially reusable code into a common file that can
        be sourced by clients, and adjusting for impedance mismatch
        or necessary renames during integration.
        * build-aux/funclib.sh: New file.
        * build-aux/options-parser (Shell normalisation)

        * bootstrap (usage message): Document `-no-warn' option.
        (func_append_u, func_warning): Move from here...
        * build-aux/funclib.sh (func_append_uniq, func_warning): ...to
        here.
        * bootstrap, build-aux/extract-trace: Source build-aux/funclib.sh
        before build-aux/options-parser.
        * build-aux/options-parser (usage, long_help_message): Set
        default values to match what is parsed by the unmodified parser.
        * build-aux/extract-trace (usage, long_help_message): Only set
        from func_main, so that clients sourcing this file can still use
        the correct defaults from build-aux/options-parser.
        * bootstrap (bootstrap_options_prep, bootstrap_parse_options):
        Move warning option parsing from here...
        * build-aux/option-parser (func_options_prep)
        (func_parse_options): ...to here, where all clients can benefit.
        * Makefile.am (funclib_sh): New macro; path to funclib.sh.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Add $(funclib_sh).

        libtoolize: source extract-trace rather than fork and execute each call.
        Rather than forking and executing a full $SHELL for each macro
        extraction, source the script and its dependencies into our
        execution space and use the provided func_extract_trace API.
        * libtoolize.m4sh: Source extract-trace from an appropriate
        directory determined presently by make.
        (func_extract_trace): Remove this wrapper.
        * Makefile.am (abs_aux_dir): Absolute path to extract-trace
        directory.
        (configure_edit): Inject abs_aux_dir into uninstalled libtoolize.

        (uninstall-hook): Manually uninstall libtoolize.
        (install-data-local): Inject pkgauxdir into installed libtoolize
        during installation.

        options-parser: employ fork minimisation.
        * build-aux/options-parser (_G_HAVE_XSI_OPS): Environment
        overrideable defaults for bash and zsh, which are known to
        support XSI extensions.
        (_G_HAVE_PLUSEQ_OP): Similarly for new enough versions of bash,
        which are known to have += support.
        (func_append): Only perform the shell += probe when state of
        support is unknown.
        (func_split_equals, func_split_short_opt): Similarly for XSI
        probe to select fastest working implementation.

        options-parser: keep non-option arguments separate!
        * build-aux/options-parser (func_parse_options): When there is
        more than one non-option argument, "$*" forces all of them into
        a single string.  Use ${1+"$@"} to set arguments correctly.

        options-parser: prefix usage message with "Usage: ".
        * build-aux/options-parser (func_usage_message): Prefix usage
        message with "Usage: ".

        bootstrap: work when using fallback shallow gnulib clone.
        Bootstrapping without --gnulib-srcdir creates a shallow gnulib
        clone to run gnulib-tool out of, except that the parent package
        is almost certainly using a revision of gnulib before just tha
        most recent 2 gnulib revisions.
        * bootstrap (func_require_gnulib_submodule): Pull the most
        recent 365 revisions, which ought to be enough for a well-
        maintained parent package.
        Don't forget to run 'git submodule update' to select the correct
        gnulib revision.

        bootstrap: require GNU make to bootstrap.
        Make is not installed by default in some environments, such as
        cygwin... which is slow enough already without having to wait
        for gnulib-tool, bootstrap and half of configure to complete
        before getting an error.
        * bootstrap.conf (buildreq): Add recent GNU make to bootstrap
        requirements.  Now missing make is diagnosed in the earliest
        part of bootstrap.

        maint: simplify "Local variables:" footer with time-stamp-pattern.
        * bootstrap, build-aux/extract-trace, build-aux/options-parser
        (Local variables): Use time-stamp-pattern to set number of
        searched lines to 10, and to replace time-stamp-start,
        time-stamp-end and time-stamp-format.

        tests: skip the with-pic test only if DLL_EXPORT is defined
        For some systems with PIC as default, the test was inadvertently
        skipped. Issue introduced in commit 4440d65.
        * tests/with-pic.at: Skip the test for systems that define
        DLL_EXPORT.
        Reported by Roumen Petrov.

        tests: rerefix line ending problems on MinGW.
        The previous commit broke Linux->MinGW cross-compiling.
        * tests/mdemo.at: Normalize line endings after $EGREP.
        Reported by Roumen Petrov.

2012-10-06  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        tests: refix line ending problems on MinGW.
        In commit 22f5750, one of the hunks actually introduced
        line ending problems. Revert that hunk.
        * tests/mdemo.at: Use AT_DATA for expected output when the
        output from compiled programs is fed through $EGREP.

        tests: use dry runs in both parts of 'check link mode operation'
        MSVC exits with status 2 instead of the expected 1 when a
        real link is attempted.
        * tests/libtool.at (check link mode operation): Use a dry run and
        expect a clean exit status instead of expecting a fail.

        tests: sanitise the libtool quote checking Autotests.
        Carefully comment the maze of quoting and escaping needed to
        pass through M4, $SHELL, and grep before regexp matching.
        * tests/libtool.at (quote shell meta-characters in filenames):
        Split backslash into a separate test group, because it needs
        additional escaping.
        Use grep consistently for the entire test group.
        Use AT_CHECK rather than LT_AT_CHECK to avoid problems with
        escaping literal $ correctly with LT_ESCAPE.
        Use the correct number of backslashes for each sub-group.
        Escape double-quote literals portably.
        Reported by Peter Rosin.

        tests: ensure mdemo.at doesn't rely on installed libltdl.
        * tests/mdemo.at (configuer.ac): Build an included convenience
        libltdl.
        (Makefile.am): Add subdir-objects.
        Remove override rules from legacy mdemo tests to reuse parent
        libltdlc.la.
        (LT_AT_CHECK_CONFIG): Add --with-included-ltdl to configure
        arguments so that test cases always use the subproject libltdl
        in preference to any installed libltdl.
        Reported by Peter Rosin.

        tests: allow for unstable fortran output ordering.
        Due to differences in line-endings between C stdout and Fortran
        stdout, as well as unpredictable output ordering between
        platforms and runtimes, weaken success criteria to not require
        the entire output of fortran programs to match a test case.
        * itests/fcdemo.at, tests/f77demo.at (_LT_CHECK_EXECUTE):
        Improve comments, and weaken test case to grep for a known line
        in the f77 runtime output.

2012-10-05  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        tests: make LT_AT_HOST_DATA retain whitespace on MinGW
        Fixes issues with depdemo.at, f77demo.at and fcdemo.at.
        * tests/testsuite.at (LT_AT_HOST_DATA) [MinGW]: Keep leading
        and trailing spaces and tabs when converting line endings.

        tests: fix line ending problems on MinGW
        * tests/cdemo.at: Use LT_AT_HOST_DATA for expected output from

        tests: remove last vestiges of the legacy test harness.
        All legacy tests have been fully migrated to Autotest, so
        no need to cling to the legacy scaffolding any more.

        * tests/link.test, tests/link-2.test: Delete files.
        * tests/libtool.at (Check link operation): Add Autotest
        equivalent.

        tests/f77demo.at, tests/fcdemo.at, tests/mdemo.at,
        tests/tagdemo.at (Copyright): Update with missing 2012.

        * cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regex--sc_bindtextdomain)

        directories no longer exist.
        (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_prohibit_strcmp): Remove subexpression
        for matching removed demo directories.

        configure: remove unused conditionals and support for order only rules.
        Clean up some more unused cruft.
        * configure.ac (HAVE_CXX, HAVE_F77, HAVE_FC, HAVE_GCJ, HAVE_RC):
        Remove.  These were only used by the recently removed legacy
        tests.
        [order-only prerequisites]: Ditto.

        bootstrap: remove support for `-r' and `reconf_dirs'.
        With all those extra demo directories out of the way, we can
        revert to a more canonical bootstrap process, and jettison the
        cruft that was only there to work around the pain of
        needing to autoreconf 11 directories.  Bootstrap is now an order
        of magnitude faster.
        * bootstrap.conf (require_ltdl_dir): New function. Factored out
        of `libtool_build_prerequisites'.
        (libtool_build_prerequisites): Adjust.
        (func_reconfigure): Use `require_ltdl_dir' to determine the name
        of the other directory we need to autoreconf during bootstrap.
        (libtool_options_prep, libtool_parse_options)
        (libtool_validate_options): Remove.

        tests: let pic_flag and with-pic Autotests work on non-VPATH builds.
        * tests/pic_flag.at: Use _LT_DEMO_SETUP to generate a demo style
        project, rather than relying on $abs_top_srcdir/configure.
        * tests/with-pic.at: Likewise.
        * Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Move tests/pic_flag.at and
        tests/with-pic.at so that they run immediately following
        tests/demo.at.

        tests: migrate legacy tests/fcdemo tests to Autotest.
        Along with the demise of the last demo directory, so all the
        cruft for re-autotooling and distributing the additional
        directories is no longer necessary.
        * tests/fcdemo.at: New autotest groups, based on...

        tests: migrate legacy tests/mdemo2 tests to Autotest.
        This test was just a small non-ltdl aware library to load a
        library from the legacy mdemo test, which in turn used ltdl to
        call functions from modules. No need to create a whole other
        test group with copies of everything from mdemo setup - just
        tack the additional test on the end of the mdemo group.

        tests: migrate legacy tests/pdemo tests to Autotest.
        This test was a thinly veiled copy of the basic legacy
        demo-conf.test series, with the addition of long file names that
        are not unique in the first 17 characters of their name, mashed
        up with the cmdline_wrap.at max_cmd_len limits.  Migrating to
        Autotest means that this test will be automatically rerun with
        max_cmd_len=24 as cmdline_wrap.at recurses through the whole
        testsuite, so the migrated pdemo test is now simply another test
        case in demo.at with longer file names.

        Merge branch 'gary/reredo-test-operand-order'
        The original manually applied changeset 962aa91 contained several
        errors (some corrected by subsequent patches on master, others not)
        and many unrelated (although in this case, correct) changes were also
        committed in the same changeset.
        The merged branch gary/reredo-test-operand-order factors the
        unrelated changes out into separate commits, and performs the work
        that should have been in 962aa91 with a script, the results of which
        were then painstakingly inspected for errors.
        This merge moves the corrections for errors made in the original
        manual patch from the branch onto master.  Please inspect the many
        separate changesets on the branch rather than the original patch
        when you bisect or otherwise find your way to an error caused by
        962aa91.

        syntax-check: [REDO] fix violations and implement
         sc_prohibit_test_const_follows_var.
        To safely use a non-literal fist argument to 'test', you must
        always prepend a literal non-'-' character, but often the second
        operand is a constant that doesn't begin with a '-' already, so
        always use 'test a = "$b"' instead of the noisy 'test "X$b" = Xa'.

        rule to ensure we don't reintroduce noisy test operands.

        tests: skip with-pic test when no "real" pic flag is used.
        * tests/with-pic.at: Windows uses "-DDLL_EXPORT -DPIC" as the pic
        "flag", but never applies it to static libraries. Cater for this
        and skip if no "real" pic flag is in use.

2012-09-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        syntax-check: fix texinfo formatting flagged by
         prohibit_undesirable_word_seq.

        maint: Revert "bootstrap: delete unneeded README-release patch"
        This reverts commit 11cd425e7d47111956381dba28f8c1b34e14653f.
        These instructions are hard to find for new maintainers, so it's
        good to keep them to hand with the release notes.
        And the additional distchecks are important prior to a release.

        maint: remove unused cvsu script.
        * build-aux/cvsu: Remove. This script is not useful now that
        Libtool's repository is hosted in git.
        * Makefile.am (build_scripts): Remove cvsu reference.

        maint: run update-copyright for missing 2011 and 2012 years.

        bootstrap: ensure there is a ChangeLog before running automake.
        Automake refuses to run in GNU-mode unless there is a ChangeLog file
        in the top-level directory.
        * bootstrap.conf (libtool_force_changelog): Create a dummy ChangeLog.

2012-02-02  Roumen Petrov  <bugtrack@roumenpetrov.info>  (tiny change)

        fixup: restore EXPORTS test
        Commit v2.4.2-120-g962aa91
        syntax-check: fix violations and implement sc_prohibit_test_const_follows_var
        inadvertedly reversed the meaning of the comparison.

        * build-aux/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link) [cygwin|mingw|cegcc]: Restore
        the EXPORTS test.  We need to look at the symbols when it's _not_
        already a .def file (in which case we trust the user input blindly).

2012-01-30  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        gnulib/top/README-release since the last gnulib update.

2011-12-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        libtool: make fork minimisation compatible with dash and zsh.
        * build-aub/general.m4sh (lt_HAVE_PLUSEQ_OP): Instead of using
        $((..)) arithmetic, which causes an error on dash, use a case
        based bash version check.
        (lt_HAVE_ARITH_OP, lt_HAVE_XSI_OPS): Also short circuit the
        feature probing forks and set these automatically when zsh is
        detected.
        Reported by Stefano Lattarini.

        bootstrap: adopt autoconf echo normalization code.
        Dash shipped with Ubutu-11.10 as /bin/sh, among others, still
        has a crippled echo builtin that mis-handles backslashes.
        * build-aux/options-parser (bs_echo): Adopt the autoconf echo
        normalization code to find a suitable replacement for buggy echo
        commands.
        Adjust all uses of echo to $bs_echo.
        * build-aux/extract-trace (func_extract_trace, func_main):
        Likewise.
        * bootstrap: To retain some execution speed on platforms with
        buggy builtin echo, replace most occurrences of `echo' with
        `$bs_echo' - except where its arguments will obviously never
        contain backslashes or be overly long.
        Reported by Reuben Thomas.

        libtool: minimise forks per invocation under bash.
        * build-aux/general.m4sh (lt_HAVE_PLUSEQ_OP, lt_HAVE_ARITH_OP)
        (lt_HAVE_XSI_OPS): Set these without forking a test script when
        running under bash, to avoid a few unnecessary forks.

2011-12-13  H.J. Lu  <hongjiu.lu@intel.com>

        libtool: Support x32.

2011-12-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        maint: disable prohibit_always-defined_macros syntax check.
        Aside from Apple grep silently failing to run this test and
        report violations, libtool still uses non-gnulib versions of
        dirent.h and argz.h which use the same macros, but are not
        always-defined.
        * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-fix): Move
        sc_prohibit_always-defined_macros from here...
        (local-checks-to-skip): ...to here.
        Reported by Peter O'Gorman.

        Reported by Stefano Lattarini.

        tests: make sure file restore traps are called correctly on AIX.
        * tests/demo-noinst-link.test (func_save_files): set the restore
        trap outside a function, otherwise AIX 5.3 /bin/sh will run the
        trap at the end of the function, instead of when the script
        exits.
        * tests/demo-relink.test (func_save_files): Ditto.
        * tests/depdemo-relink.test (func_save_files): Ditto.
        Reported by Stefano Lattarini.

        maint: eliminate some more spurious leading Xs.
        * m4/libtool.m4: Reverse argument order to eliminate spurious
        leading X's.

        bootstrap: put back missing spaces before parens.
        * bootstrap (func_require_buildreq_autobuild)
        (func_require_buildreq_automake): Vi's delete word command is
        too greedy and also eats trailing whitespace before following
        non-word-chars. Put back the spaces it ate so that
        syntax-checks pass once again.

        libtoolize: refactor copying filter creation.
        Prevent the various require_filter functions from becoming too
        long by factoring common code into new functions.
        * libtoolize (func_make_relative_dir_filter)
        (func_make_relative_ltdl_filter): New functions. Generalize and
        consolidate the various similar snippets for concatenating
        together the sed scripts for func_copy filtering.
        (require_filter_Makefile_am, require_filter_aclocal_m4)
        (require_filter_configure_ac): Simplify.
        (require_ltdl_relative_aux_dir): Remove.
        (require_ltdl_relative_macro_dir): Ditto.

        maint: pick XSI funcs at runtime, not configure time.
        Determine, on a function by function basis, what XSI features
        are available in the shell that is actually running the script,
        rather than the one that was picked at configure time by the
        re-execution engine.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_FUNCTION_REPLACE)
        (_LT_PROG_REPLACE_SHELLFNS): Remove.
        (_LT_CHECK_SHELL_FEATURES): Remove tests for XSI and += support.
        * build-aux/general.m4sh (func_append, func_append_quoted)
        (func_arith, func_len, func_basename, func_dirname)
        (func_dirname_and_basename, func_stripname): List both enhanced

        the enhanced features required by the fastest version are
        available.
        * build-aux/getopt.m4sh (func_split_short_opt)

        syntax-check: fix violations and implement sc_useless_braces_in_variable_derefs.
        Until now, libtool sources have used braced variable names
        seemingly at random! Almost always the braces are just noise, so
        remove all the unnecessary ones.
        * cfg.mk (sc_useless_braces_in_variable_derefs): New syntax
        check rule to ensure we only reintroduce braced variable
        dereferences if they are followed by a valid variable name
        character.

        tests/objectlist.test, tests/quote.test, tests/static.at: Remove
        spurious braces.

        syntax-check: fix violations and implement sc_prohibit_sed_s_comma.
        I like to name temporary directories that I will remove shortly
        with two leading commas so that they sort lexicographically at
        the top of `ls' output.  Now, `./configure
        --prefix=`pwd`/,,inst' works again, for the first time in
        several years.
        * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_sed_s_comma): Comma is too common a
        character to use routinely as the separator for sed
        substitutions on file paths and other variables determined by
        the user, causing bugs like the one I describe above.  Make sure
        we don't accidentally reintroduce any comma separators in
        future.

        expression.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        syntax-check: fix violations and implement sc_prohibit_bare_basename.
        * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_bare_basename, sc_prohibit_basename_with_sed):
        Make sure not to go back to using occasional `|$basename' or

        syntax-check: fix violations and implement sc_useless_quotes_in_assignment.
        Contrary to popular belief, Bourne shell does not resplit RHS of
        assignments after expansion, so if there are no unquoted shell
        metacharacters or whitespace, the quotes are useless.
        * cfg.mk (_sc_search_regexp_or_exclude): A variation of gnulib's
        _sc_search_regexp that also allows individual exclusions at the
        site of what would otherwise match by adding a comment.
        (sc_useless_quotes_in_assignment): New syntax-check rule to

        syntax-check: fix violations and implement sc_useless_quotes_in_case.
        Contrary to popular belief, Bourne shell does not resplit case
        expressions after expansion, so if there are no unquoted shell

        maint: quote $file correctly in bootstrap.
        * bootstrap (func_insert_sorted_if_absent): Don't forget the
        double quotes, since we can't control the content of $file.
        Reported by Stefano Lattarini.

        build: fix a quoting bug when regenerating with bootstrap_edit.
        * Makefile.am (m4/ltversion.m4, build-aux/ltmain.sh): The
        bootstrap_edit make macro already contains double quotes, so
        when echoing it, don't surround it with more double quotes since
        it is not escaped.

2011-11-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        dist: hook syntax-check into `make distcheck'.
        To make sure we don't accidentally release anything with

        syntax-checks automatically.
        * Makefile.am (distcheck-hook): New rule depending on

        syntax-check: enable sc_prohibit_always_true_header_tests.
        * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-fix): Remove

        * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-fix): Move sc_trailing_blank from
        here...

        syntax-check: fix violations and re-enable sc_makefile_at_at_check.
        At some point we were supporting some undetermined `broken
        make', as evidenced by having carried the following code since
        2003:
          ## use @LIBLTDL@ because some broken makes do not accept
          ## macros in targets, we can only do this because our LIBLTDL
          ## does not contain $(top_builddir).
          @LIBLTDL@: $(top_distdir)/libtool \
          ...
        However, we've also had *many* cases of macros in targets for
        just as long, so most likely we never fully supported makes
        allegedly broken in this way.  As of this release, we explicitly
        no longer support make implementations that do not accept macros
        in targets.
        * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-fix): Remove sc_makefile_at_at_check
        from list of disabled checks.
        * configure.ac (order-only prerequisites): Test with the
        order-only pipe symbol in a macro.
        * Makefile.am, tests/mdemo/Makefile.am: Convert all @FOO@ to
        $(FOO).

        syntax-check: fix violations and re-enable sc_makefile_TAB_only_indentation.
        * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-fix): Remove
        sc_makefile_TAB_only_indentation from list of disabled checks.
        * Makefile.am (libltdl/Makefile.am): Replace leading spaces with
        TABs.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdl_libltdl_la_SOURCES): Ditto.

        syntax-check: fix violations and re-enable sc_m4_quote_check.
        * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-fix): Remove sc_m4_quote_check from
        list of disabled checks.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CHECK_OBJDIR): Quote LT_OBJDIR
        correctly.

        syntax-check: fix violations and re-enable sc_file_system.
        * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-fix): Remove sc_file_system from list
        of disabled checks.
        (VC_LIST_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE_REGEX): Match mail directory correctly
        to avoid running its contents through syntax-check.
        * build-aux/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Use correct spelling
        for "file system".
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (try_dlopen): Ditto.
        * tests/dlloader-api.at: Ditto.

        syntax-check: fix violations and re-enable sc_error_message_uppercase.
        * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-fix): Remove
        sc_error_message_uppercase from list of disabled checks.
        (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_error_message_uppercase): Don't
        match cvsu, which is not our file to edit.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Use lowercase error message in example.

        syntax-check: rationale for disabling sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value.
        * cfg.mk: Note that we support C++ compilation of libltdl, which
        in turn requires that *alloc return values be cast correctly.

        syntax-check: fix violations and re-enable sc_cast_of_argument_to_free.
        * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-fix): Remove
        sc_cast_of_argument_to_free from list of disabled checks.
        * build-aux/ltmain.m4sh, libltdl/libltdl/lt__alloc.h,

        necessary.

        syntax-check: fix violations and re-enable sc_avoid_if_before_free.
        * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-fix): Remove sc_avoid_if_before_free
        from list of disabled checks.
        According to gnulib/doc/free.texi: "On old platforms such as
        SunOS4, @code{free (NULL)} fails.  However, since all such
        systems are so old as to no longer be considered ``reasonable
        portability targets,'' this module is no longer useful."
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt__alloc.h (FREE, MEMREASSIGN): Don't protect
        against freeing NULL bug on SunOS4.

        syntax-check: skip sc_unmarked_diagnostics.
        * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-fix): Move sc_unmarked_diagnostics
        from here...
        (local-checks-to-skip): ...to here.

        libtoolize: rename `libltdl/config' directory to standard `build-aux'.
        In addition to moving the autoconf auxiliary script directory
        into the place expected by GNU developers ($top_srcdir/build-aux)
        we also simplify libtoolize somewhat by having libltdl use
        whatever directory was specified by the parent project.  This is
        much more flexible, allows libltdl client projects to also use a
        single canonical `$top_srcdir/build-aux' auxiliary script
        directory, and maintains backward compatibility with existing
        projects that wish to continue using $ltdl_dir/config.
        * libltdl/config: Moved whole directory from here...
        * build-aux: ...to here.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_install_pkgaux_subproject): Remove.
        (func_install_pkgaux_parent): Remove.
        (func_install_pkgaux_files): Considerably simplified now that we
        have only a single auxiliary directory to worry about.
        (subproject_aux_dir): Remove.
        * bootstrap.conf (libtool_readme_release_package_substitutions):
        No need to substitute our old unusual aux_dir location into
        README-release any more.
        * cfg.mk (_build-aux): Now that we use the standard location for
        this directory, no need to set this variable either.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): git-version-gen has moved.
        (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Adjust.
        * Makefile.am (stamp-mk, auxexefiles, auxfiles)
        (install-data-local): Use build-aux instead of config.
        (libltdl/stamp-mk): Ditto.
        * libltdl/configure.ac, tests/cdemo/configure.ac,
        tests/demo/configure.ac, tests/depdemo/configure.ac,
        tests/f77demo/configure.ac, tests/fcdemo/configure.ac,
        tests/mdemo/configure.ac, tests/mdemo2/configure.ac,
        tests/pdemo/configure.ac, tests/tagdemo/configure.ac
        (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Ditto.
        * tests/defs.m4sh (aux_dir): Ditto.
        * tests/configure-iface.at, tests/getopt-m4sh.at,
        tests/libtoolize.at, tests/subproject.at, tests/testsuite.at:
        Ditto.
        * Makefile.am (ltdl_ac_aux_dir): Extract at build-time...
        * libtoolize.m4sh (require_ltdl_ac_aux_dir): ...so that
        libtoolize can access it at runtime without requiring GNU M4 via
        the extract-trace script.
        (require_Makefile_am_filter): Use it to determine whether the
        aux_dir declared in the current (parent) project configure is
        compatible with the declarations in installed ltdl autotools
        source files.
        (require_configure_ac_filter): New function to perform similar
        checks and rewrite configure.ac during installation if necessary.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        libtoolize: aux scripts go in ltdl dir when parent has no configure.
        When using libtoolize to install subproject libltdl into a
        parent project that does not use autotools, set the default
        directory for auxiliary scripts inside libltdl rather than
        littering the parent project with files it doesn't use.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_require_ac_aux_dir): In verbose mode,
        report results like other require_ funcs.
        (func_require_aux_dir): Put subproject auxiliary files into ltdl
        directory where libltdl/configure will be able to find
        `install-sh' and others.

        libtoolize: simplify runtime by substituting pkgauxdir.
        * Makefile.am (configure_edit): Substitute pkgauxdir.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_install_pkgaux_subproject)
        (func_install_pkgaux_parent, extract_trace): Use it.

        libtoolize: generate require_ltdl_relative_aux_dir definition.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (require_ltdl_relative_macro_dir): Change to
        be generated function...
        (require_ltdl_relative_aux_dir): ...so that we can easily
        generate this very similar function from the same code.

        libtoolize: rename `libltdl/m4' directory to standard `m4'.
        In addition to moving the autoconf macro directory into the
        place expected by GNU developers ($top_srcdir/m4), we also
        simplify libtoolize somewhat by having libltdl use whatever
        directory was specified by the parent project.  This is much
        more flexible, allows libltdl client projects to also use a
        single canonical `$top_srcdir/m4' macro directory, and maintains
        backward compatibility with existing projects that wish to
        continue using $ltdl_dir/m4.
        * libltdl/m4: Moved to it's parent directory.
        * Makefile.am (ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS, BUILDCHECK_ENVIRONMENT)
        (libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/aclocal.m4): Adjust.
        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR): Adjust.
        * libltdl/configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR): Remove. The
        libtoolize script can pick up the project macro directory from
        ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in libltdl/Makefile.am, saving us from needing
        to regenerate configure for the sake of a different macro
        directory declared in the libltdl using client project.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_install_pkgmacro_subproject): Remove.
        (func_install_pkgmacro_parent): Remove.
        (subproject_macro_dir): Remove.
        (require_libltdl_Makefile_am, require_ltdl_aclocal_amflags)
        (require_ltdl_am_macro_dir): New functions, generated at runtime
        by adding libltdl/Makefile.am to the generation loop.
        (func_install_pkgmacro_files): Considerably simplified now that
        we have only a single macro directory to worry about.
        (require_ltdl_relative_macro_dir): New function. Calculate the
        relative path from $ltdl_dir to the parent project macro_dir.
        (require_Makefile_am_filter): Depending on $ltdl_mode, edit
        Makefile.am ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to use the parent project macro
        directory if necessary.
        (require_aclocal_m4_filter): Make sure m4_includes point to the
        correct macro directory by editing the file as it is copied
        into the parent project.
        (func_install_pkgltdl_files): Use the filters.
        (func_check_macros): Remove various advice that no longer
        applies with an always shared macro directory.
        (func_require_ltdl_dir): Don't default ltdl_dir to subproject
        when `--ltdl' was not given.
        (func_require_ltdl_mode): Leave ltdl_mode empty when ltdl_dir is
        not set.
        (func_require_macro_dir): Default to $ltdl_dir/m4 in subproject
        mode with no other directory implied by AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR or
        ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS, otherwise m4 as before.
        * tests/libtoolize.at: Match new "creating file `Makefile.am'"
        messages correctly.
        (subproject ltdl with non-shared directories): This test no
        longer makes sense, so repurposed...
        (subproject ltdl with non-canonical macro dir): ...this, to
        ensure subproject ltdl continues to automatically share the
        parent macro directory.
        * tests/cdemo/Makefile.am, tests/demo/Makefile.am,
        tests/depdemo/Makefile.am, tests/f77demo/Makefile.am,
        tests/fcdemo/Makefile.am, tests/mdemo/Makefile.am,
        tests/mdemo2/Makefile.am, tests/pdemo/Makefile.am,
        tests/tagdemo/Makefile.am (ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS): Use new location
        of macro_dir.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        libtoolize: rename `Makefile.inc' to standard `ltdl.mk'.
        * libltdl/Makefile.inc: Moved from here...
        * libltdl/ltdl.mk: ...to here.
        * Makefile.am, bootstrap.conf, tests/libtoolize.at,
        tests/nonrecursive.at: Adjust.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_install_pkgltdl_files): Set the
        destination file to `Makefile.inc' if grep finds an include for
        that name in a top-level Makefile.am.
        (func_check_macros): Print a deprecation warning if use of the
        old `Makefile.inc' convention is found.
        * tests/old-ltdl-iface.at: New test for renaming and warning
        correctly when `Makefile.inc' convention is still in use.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        libtoolize: refactor ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS extraction.
        Another simple refactor to simplify following changesets.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (require_Makefile_am, require_aclocal_amflags)
        (require_am_macro_dir): Generate these functions at runtime.

        libtoolize: rename require_makefile_am to require_Makefile_am.
        A simple refactoring to keep the next change self-contained.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (require_makefile_am): Renamed from this...
        (require_Makefile_am): ...to this.

        libtoolize: simplify copying of files that are edited during install.
        * libltdl/Makefile.inc (EXTRA_DIST): Don't list autotools files
        that Automake automatically adds to a (subproject)
        distribution...
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): ...although, our layout is a bit odd
        because we reuse libltdl/Makefile.inc in non-recursive mode in
        our own tree, so we do need to add those very same files here...
        * libtoolize.m4sh (require_Makefile_am_filter)
        (require_Makefile_inc_filter): ...all of which means we no
        longer need to manually remove those files at libtoolize time.
        These two new functions are factored out of...
        (func_fixup_Makefile): ...this old function, now removed.
        (func_copy): Add support for an optional sed script as the last
        argument to filter the content of a file as it is copied.
        (func_install_pkgltdl_files): Much simplified by $require_<foo>
        the relevant filter scripts and passing them to func_copy.

        libtoolize: simplify file-copying and -linking call-graph.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (TAR): Remove.
        (func_copy_some_files, func_copy_cb): Remove.
        (func_copy): Refactor from all of the above, and simplify. No
        need to use $TAR to preserve timestamps when copying, since
        we've been running touch right afterwards anyway. Adjust all
        callers to use the new argument footprint.
        (func_serial_update, func_keyword_update): Delete any pre-
        existing destination file when used with `--force' before
        calling func_copy, now that the hardcoded special cases are not
        in there any more.
        (func_install_pkgmacro_subproject)
        (func_install_pkgaux_subproject): Use our own file loop -
        func_copy subsumes all the checks previously in
        func_copy_some_files, but operates on only one file at a time.
        (func_install_pkgltdl_files): Similarly, handle aclocal.m4 and
        configure special cases here, before calling func_copy.
        * tests/libtoolize.at: Make sure we match corrected "copying
        `configure.ac'" output.

        maint: generate full and correct ChangeLog.
        * gnulib: Updated to pick up gitlog-to-changelog multi-author
        support.
        * gl/build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog.diff: Use gnulib-rejected
        patch for '(tiny change)' support.
        * Makefile.am (ChangeLog): Use gitlog-to-changelog --amend=F
        option.
        * libltdl/config/git-hooks/commit-msg: New commit message hook
        for git.
        * libltdl/config/git-log-fix: New file, with ChangeLog fixes.
        * HACKING (Using git): Update.

2011-11-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        options-parser: provide a saner pluggable API.
        It's much too easy to forget that the functions you hook into
        the option parser need to return unconsumed options in the
        variable `func_run_hooks_result'; better to follow the
        convention used in the rest of bootstrap and return results in a
        variable named after the function with `_result' appended.
        * libltdl/config/options-parser (func_run_hooks): implement this
        new API.
        (Option parsing): Update the example in the header comment for
        this section to reflect the changes.
        * bootstrap (bootstrap_options_prep, bootstrap_parse_options)
        (bootstrap_validate_options): Adjust.
        * bootstrap.conf (libtool_options_prep, libtool_parse_options)
        (libtool_validate_options): Ditto.

        bootstrap: display accurate usage message.
        After splitting bootstrap up, we also lost bootstrap's usage
        message, and were incorrectly displaying a partial extract-trace
        message.
        * bootstrap (usage): Set appropriately.

        bootstrap: accept --gnulib-srcdir=/path/to/gnulib again.
        During the split of bootstrap into options-parser and
        extract-trace, the generic long-option splitting code got lost.
        * libltdl/config/options-parser (func_parse_options): Add the
        code to split any long option separated by an equals from its
        optarg back in.
        Reported by Roumen Petrov.

2011-11-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        gnulib: update gnulib submodule.
        Among others, this fixes a bug in _build-aux expansion so that
        `make syntax-check' works again.
        * gnulib: Updated to today's master HEAD revision.
        * gl/top/maint.mk.diff: Remove. This patch has been applied
        upstream already.

        libtoolize: remove NL2SP and initialisation.
        There's only a single use of NL2SP, and that is redundant.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_serial_update): Factor away use of
        NL2SP.
        (NL2SP, SP2NL): Remove initialisation.

        bootstrap: remove consumed options from the list to be processed.
        Fix a bug where processed bootstrap options were not removed
        from the queue, and eventually flagged as unknown in the
        pluggable option parser driver.
        * bootstrap (bootstrap_parse_options)
        (bootstrap_validate_options): Follow the pluggable option parser
        API correctly, and set func_run_hooks_result to the list of
        remaining unconsumed options.
        Reported by Roumen Petrov.

2011-11-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        libtoolize: refactor $opt_quiet, func_echo and func_echo_once.
        Instead of long sequences checking for setting of $opt_quiet,
        followed by one or more func_echo variations, add and use a new
        function func_whisper - the complement of func_verbose.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_whisper): New function. Adjust all
        callers previously using `$opt_quiet || func_echo ...'.
        (func_whisper_once): Ditto, for `$opt_quiet || func_echo_once
        ...'.
        (func_whisper_hdr): New function, adjust all callers previously
        using `func_whisper_once ...; func_whisper ...'.
        (func_whisper_error_header): Ditto, but calling func_error.
        (func_echo_once): Remove.

        libtoolize: update a bit-rotted comment.
        * libtoolize (func_copy_cb): Since this comment was written, the
        function has been changed to timestamp files as it copies.
        Update the comment to reflect that.

        general.m4sh: relative path to the same directory is `.'.
        * general.m4sh (func_relative_path): We sometimes want to use
        the result of this function directly, rather than purely as a
        prefix, so we need to return `.' when both directories end up at
        the same location.

        ltmain.sh: append relative path trailing slashes explicitly.
        In addition to being more idiomatic, and hence minimising
        suprises, seeing the slash written explicity when appending to
        the result of a relative path calculation is a lot more
        readable.
        * libltdl/config/general.m4sh (func_relative_path): Don't append
        an implicit trailing slash...
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): ...write it
        explicitly at the time of use.

2011-11-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        build: use pkgauxdir for local install and uninstall rules.
        * Makefile.am (pkgauxdir): Set it correctly.
        (uninstall-hook): Use it for pkgaux_scripts and
        pkgaux_data_files.
        (install-data-local): Ditto.
        Remove `config/' prefix from extract-trace and option-parser
        items.

2011-11-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        install: correct a typo in pkgaux_files location.
        * Makefile.am (install-data-local): Install pkgaux_files
        directly from $(aux_dir) [./libltdl/config at the moment].

        libtoolize: order pkgltdl_files to avoid reconfiguration.
        * Makefile.am (pkgltdl_files): aclocal.m4 depends on
        configure.ac, and will cause spurious reconfiguration of freshly
        `libtoolize --ltdl' tree if we don't ensure configure.ac is the
        older of these two files.
        * tests/libtoolize.at: Adjust expout order to match.

        build: remove an over-exuberant $(srcdir) prefix.
        * Makefile.am (git_version_gen): No need for an extra $(srcdir)
        in the path when we always use after `cd $(srcdir).

        libtoolize: massage installed auxiliary script list at make time.
        * Makefile.am (configure_edit): Rename pkgconfig_files
        substitution to pkgaux_files, and add pkgaux_install_files and
        pkgaux_parent_files substitutions for atlocal.
        (pkgauxdir): Where to install pkgaux_files.
        (auxfiles): Removed, and replaced by...
        (pkgaux_parent_files, pkgaux_install_files, pkgaux_data_files):
        ...these, which separate the files lists more logically for
        easier installation, and use by libtoolize.m4sh.
        (uninstall-hook): Adjust.
        (tests/atlocal): Adjust.
        * bootstrap.conf (libtool_link_libltdl_subdirs): Adjust.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_install_pkgconfig_files)
        (func_install_pkgconfig_subproject)
        (func_install_pkgconfig_parent, func_install_pkgconfig_files)
        (all_pkgconfig_files): Renamed to...

        (func_install_pkgaux_parent, func_install_pkgaux_files)
        (all_pkgaux_files): ...these, resp. Adjust all callers.
        (func_massage_pkgconfig_files): Removed.
        (pkgaux_files): List of all auxiliary scripts substituted from
        Makefile.

        libtoolize: massage installed libltdl file list at make time.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (pkgltdldir, pkgdatadir): Put installable
        libltdl files in pkgdatadir. When testing, and _lt_pkgdatadir
        is set, adjust to look in libltdl subdirectory.
        (func_massage_pkgltdl_files): Removed function and only caller,
        because...
        (pkgltdl_files): ...we substitute the pre-massaged files
        directly...
        (func_install_pkgltdl_files): ...from here.
        Adjust installation of specially handled additional files.
        * Makefile.am (ltdldir): Location of libltdl files in source
        tree.
        (ltdldest, ltdldatafiles): Removed.
        (pkgltdl_files): New pre-massaged list of libltdl sources.
        (install-data-local, uninstall-hook): Use it.
        * tests/libtoolize.at: Reorder expected output to match actual
        libtoolize output.

        libtoolize: massage installed macro list at make time.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_massage_aclocal_DATA): Removed function
        and only caller, because...
        (pkgmacro_files): ...we substitute the pre-massaged files
        directly...
        (func_install_pkgmacro_files): ...from here.
        * Makefile.am (pkgmacro_files): New pre-massaged list of aclocal
        macros used by func_install_pkgmacro_files.
        (configure_edit): Substitute pkgmacro_files instead of
        aclocalfiles.

        libtoolize: use only space delimited file lists.
        We don't install any files with whitespace in their file name,
        so using colon delimited lists to make that possible was a
        premature optimisation and an unneeded complication.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_copy_some_files): Remove IFS twiddling,
        and just pull space delimited files in a for loop idiomatically.
        (func_massage_aclocal_DATA, func_install_pkgmacro_subproject)
        (func_install_pkgmacro_parent, func_install_pkgmacro_files)
        (func_massage_pkgltdl_files, func_massage_pkgconfig_files):
        Append to file lists with space delimiter.

        libtoolize: remove sed based configure scanning.
        * libtoolize (func_scan_files): Removed function and callers.
        (require_seen_ltdl, require_seen_libtool): Factor out remaining
        functionality of former sed based scanning.
        (func_check_macros): Adjust.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        libtoolize: refactor ltdl_mode discovery.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (require_ac_ltdl_mode)
        (require_ac_ltdl_options, require_ltdl_mode): New functions
        factored out of func_scan_files for scanning and setting
        ltdl_mode and friends.
        (func_scan_files): Remove the factored out code.
        (func_install_pkgmacro_files, func_install_pkgltdl_files)
        (func_install_pkgconfig_files, func_check_macros): Adjust.

        libtoolize: refactor ltdl_dir discovery.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (require_ac_ltdl_dir, require_ltdl_dir):
        New functions factored out of func_scan_files for scanning and
        setting ac_ltdl_dir and ltdl_dir resp.
        (func_scan_files): Remove the factored out code.
        (func_fixup_Makefile, func_serial_update_check)
        (func_install_pkgltdl_files, func_install_pkgconfig_subproject)
        (func_check_macros): Adjust.

        libtoolize: refactor aux_dir discovery.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (require_ac_aux_dir, require_aux_dir): New
        functions factored out of func_scan_files for scanning and
        setting aux_dir and friends.
        (func_scan_files): Remove the factored out code to scan
        configure.ac with sed, and then set macro_dir appropriately.
        (func_install_pkgconfig_subproject, func_install_pkgconfig_parent)
        (func_install_pkgmacro_files, func_check_macros): Adjust.

        libtoolize: install autoconf macros only if there is a $configure_ac.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_install_pkgmacro_files): If there is no
        $configure_ac in the parent project directory, and libtoolize is
        in subproject mode, then the parent project has no use for
        autoconf macros, so don't install them.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        libtoolize: display aux files output header for non-autoconf parents.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_install_pkgconfig_subproject): When the
        parent project does not use Autoconf, be sure to display an
        output header before copying auxiliary files despite not being
        able to scan for AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR arguments.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        libtoolize: refactor macro_dir discovery around extract-trace script.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_extract_trace): Function to call
        $aux_dir/extract-trace.  The name and footprint are the same as
        the core function in the extract-trace script file so that we
        can choose to source that file when the option processing
        becomes compatible with ours.
        (require_ac_macro_dir, require_aclocal_amflags)
        (require_am_macro_dir, require_macro_dir, require_makefile_am):
        New functions factored out of func_scan_files for scanning and
        setting macro_dir and friends.
        (func_scan_files): Remove the factored out code to scan
        configure.ac with sed, and then set macro_dir appropriately.
        (func_serial_update_check, func_install_pkgmacro_subproject)
        (func_install_pkgmacro_parent, func_install_pkgmacro_files)
        (func_check_macros): Adjust.
        * tests/libtoolize.at (Subproject ltdl without GNU M4): New test
        to ensure `libtoolize --subproject' continues to work without a
        GNU M4 dependency.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        libtoolize: refactor configure_ac discovery.
        Make a start on decomposing some of the giant functions at the
        heart of libtoolize into the much more flexible and manageable
        (albeit somewhat more verbose) model of self-organising
        $require_<foo> function pointers.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (require_configure_ac): New function factored
        out of func_scan_files for setting $configure_ac appropriately,
        implementation taken from extract-trace script.
        (func_autoconf_configure): And similarly for ensuring that a
        filename which matches something Autoconf would read also has
        content that appears to be destined for Autoconf processing.
        (func_scan_files): Simplified the factored out code to a single
        require_configure_ac call.
        (func_install_pkgconfig_files, func_check_macros): Ditto.
        (seen_autoconf): Removed.

        bootstrap: split into reusable parts.
        * bootstrap: Bourne shell has no scoping, so be extremely
        careful with namespaces, functions in `^func_' and `^require_';
        private variables in `^_G_', and public variables all well
        documented by comments.
        * libltdl/config/extract-trace: New file, containing the minimum
        of code previously in bootstrap plus a little glue to make the
        GNU M4 based autotools tracing function (as opposed to the
        kludgy sed extraction currently used everywhere else) a
        standalone script that can be executed or sourced.
        * libltdl/config/options-parser: New file, containing the
        pluggable options parser code shared between the other two.
        * bootstrap.conf: Adjust.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Be sure to distribute the new
        extract-trace and options-parser scripts.
        (install-data-local): And install them where libtoolize can find
        them.

        tests: prefix absolute directory variables with 'abs_'.
        Avoid any possible confusion about the contests of thes
        variables compared to $aux_dir, $macro_dir and $src_dir in
        configure.ac, Makefile.am, libtoolize.m4sh and others.
        * tests/defs.m4sh (aux_dir, macro_dir, srcdir): Rename these...
        (abs_aux_dir, abs_macro_dir, abs_srcdir): ...to these resp.
        * tests/cdemo-shared-exec.test, tests/cdemo-shared-make.test,

        maint: calculate required mkinstalldirs calls during `make install'.
        * Makefile.am (install-data-local): Make sure all destination
        directories are in place before copying files there, without
        hardcoding them.

        maint: substitute static directory names.
        By substituting just the directory name as passed to the macro,
        aux_dir can be used with or without $srcdir prefix, which is
        more flexible, and always means the same thing in each file,
        rather than sometimes being a directory name, sometimes relative
        to $top_srcdir.
        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR)
        (LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR): Don't force config.status substitutions
        with unexpanded shell variables.
        * Makefile.am, tests/defs.m4sh: Adjust.

2011-11-07  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        libtoolize: fix spelling nit.
        * libtoolize (M4SH_GETOPTS): Fix spelling nit.

2011-11-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        tests: fix parsing of configure output by pic_flag.at.
        Close http://debbugs.gnu.org/9962.
        * tests/pic_flag.at (LT_AT_CONFIGURE): Make sure to configure
        with --disable-silent-rules so that the full output parsed by
        the rest of the test is available.
        Reported by Roumen Petrov.

        libtoolize: rename `--subproject' option, and make it work.
        * libtoolize (M4SH_GETOPTS): Remove `--standalone', which never
        worked, and add `--subproject' which sets ltdl_mode correctly.

2011-11-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        libtoolize: fix a scoping bug in func_aclocal_update_check.
        libtoolize.m4sh (func_aclocal_update_check): This body of this
        function used a global variable set by the outer loop of the
        caller. Fix to Use the function argument correctly.

        maint: rename the debug shell command variable to `debug_cmd'.
        Not only does it make more sense, it also matches bootstrap and
        others.
        * libtoolize.m4sh, libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh,
        libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh, tests/defs.m4sh (opt_debug): Rename
        to debug_cmd.

        maint: dynamically strip unused scripts from libltdl Makefile.
        * configure.ac (pkgaux_scripts): Centrally maintain the complete
        list of aux scripts required to build libltdl, and which need to
        be installed by libtoolize --ltdl, and consequently need to be
        placed in $pkgdatadir by make install.
        * Makefile.am (libltdl/stamp.mk): Improved to strip the unused
        scripts not listed in pkgaux_scripts without the need for manual
        synchronisation.
        (auxexefiles): Removed. Replaced by new pkgaux_scripts
        substitution.
        (install-data-local): Adjust.

        build: substitute paths into defs.m4sh instead of recalculating.
        * Makefile.am (configure_edit): Add substitutions for aux_dir,
        macro_dir and srcdir.
        * tests/defs.m4sh: Don't recalculate srcdir.
        (aux_dir, macro_dir, srcdir): Convert to absolute paths.

        build: support AM_SILENT_RULES
        * configure.ac: Add AM_SILENT_RULES.
        * libltdl/configure.ac: Ditto, but only if defined.
        * Makefile.am (.version, ChangeLog, README, doc/notes.txt)
        (libtool, libtoolize, libtoolize.in, libltdl/Makefile.am)
        (libltdl/stamp-mk, m4/ltversion.m4, tests/atconfig, tests/defs)
        (tests/defs.in, tests/package.m4): Output an AM_SILENT_RULES-like
        GEN when V==0.
        * libltdl/Makfile.inc (libltdl/argz.h): Ditto.

2011-10-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        maint: add autobuild prerequisite only if autobuild.m4 is absent.
        * bootstrap (func_require_autobuild_buildreq): Skip if autobuild.m4
        is already present.
        * bootstrap.conf (require_autobuild_bulidreq): No need to set this
        specially any more.

        maint: ensure bootstrap runs from dist tarball.
        * bootstrap (func_gnulib_tool_copy_file): When gnulib-tool is
        not available, check that there is a copy of the file from a
        previous run available before bailing out with a diagnostic.
        (func_install_gnulib_non_module_files): Don't diagnose missing
        files explicitly - func_gnulib_tool_copy_file takes care of it
        now.
        (func_require_checkout_only_file): In the diagnostic for
        not being in a source-controlled tree, note that `--force' must
        be used to rebootstrap.
        (func_require_gnulib_files_already_present): Removed.  All the
        necessary checks are correctly performed in
        func_gnulib_tool_copy_file withot resorting to heuristics.
        (func_require_gnulib_mk): Don't continue to try to access
        gnulib-cache.m4 after discovering we're running from a dist
        tarball.
        (func_require_dotgitmodules_parameters): Skip if .gitmodules
        file is missing and git binary is not available.
        * bootstrap.conf (checkout_only_file): Set to HACKING, which is
        a non-distributed file.
        (libtool_cleanup_empty_dirs): Don't print spurious errors when
        trying to delete gnulib-tool droppings, in case gnulib-tool is
        not available on this run.

        tests: add a keyword `expensive' to very long running tests.
        * tests/cmdline_wrap.at, tests/stresstest.at (AT_KEYWORDS): Add
        `expensive'.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        libtoolize: fix some long-standing sed substitution bugs
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_fixup_Makefile): `\\\\\$' in a " quoted
        script that is evaluated twice before execution becomes a `\$',
        which sed interprets as a literal $.  The script will then delete
        any lines with a first non-whitespace character of `$'. Instead
        use `\\\\$' in single quotes, which sed eventually receives as
        `\\$' and correctly interprets as part of an instruction to
        delete otherwise empty lines ending with a `\'.
        Additionally the rest of the same sed script is no longer
        applied to comment lines to avoid munging the copyright header
        among others.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2011-10-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        maint: use gnulib's gitlog-to-changelog instead of a ChangeLog file.
        * ChangeLog: Removed.
        * HACKING (Editing 'ChangeLog'): Removed. Renumbered other sections to
        compensate.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gitlog-to-changelog.
        * Makefile.am (ChangeLog): Generate the ChangeLog for 2011...
        (dist-hook): ...from the output of `git log' before rolling a
        distribution tarball.

        maint: use gnulib's git-version-gen instead of mkstamp.
        * libltdl/config/mkstamp: File removed.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add git-version-gen.
        * configure.ac (AC_INIT, package_revision): Use git-version-gen to
        calculate version number.
        (TIMESTAMP): Removed.
        * libtoolize.m4sh, libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh, libltdl/m4/libtool.m4
        (TIMESTAMP): Ditto.
        * Makefile.am (TIMESTAMP): Ditto.
        (MKSTAMP): Renamed from this...
        (git_version_gen): ...to this. Set revision here.  An alpha is now a
        release with an odd micro relase number.
        (rebuild): Don't reset revision here.
        (build_scripts): Remove mkstamp, add git-version-gen.
        (EXTRA_DIST, BUILT_SOURCES): Add .version.
        (libltdl/config/ltmain.sh, libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4, tests/package.m4):
        Don't depend on configure.ac or ChangeLog to determine when the
        version number has reved, use .version directly.
        (.version): Flush most recent configure calculated VERSION to disk.
        (dist-hook): Flush current VERSION to disk at dist time.
        (dotserial): Distributed file to cache the serial number for
        when git is not available to recalculate it when building from a
        release tarball.
        (dist-hook): Make sure .serial is created.
        (libltdl/config/ltversion.m4): Use .serial when it is present
        (in a dist tarball) or calculate with git otherwise (in a git
        working directory).
        (EXTRA_DIST): Add .serial file.

        maint: use gnulib's maint.mk and support scripts release procedure.
        * Makefile.maint: Removed.
        * configure.ac (LASTRELEASE, lt_major, lt_minor, lt_micro, lt_alpha):
        All removed. Makefile.maint was the only client.
        * HACKING (Release Procedure): Removed.
        * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add announce-gen,
        do-release-commit-and-tag, gendocs, gnu-web-doc-update, gnupload and

        tests: ensure VPATH autom4te search path can find autotests.
        * Makefile.am (tests/testsuite): Passing only $(srcdir) include path
        to autom4te is unable to find tests/package.m4, and passing only
        $(srcdir)/tests breaks VPATH build searches for TESTSUITE_AT files,
        which are relative to $(srcdir)... so we pass both!
        * NEWS: Updated.
        Reported by Bob Friesenhahn.

2011-10-24  Karl Berry  <karl@gnu.org>

        doc: modernize libtool.texi.
        * libtool.texi (@copying): Use this instead of @ifnottex; format for
        Texinfo; eliminate obsolete paragraph about TeX; use @insertcopying
        instead of duplicating text.
        (@syncodeindex): Move all to the Texinfo header, where they belong.
        (@dircategory): Use "Software development" instead of "GNU programming
        tools", for consistency; and align individual entries to avoid

        * bootstrap.conf (require_autobuild_buildreq): Reset this to ':' so
        that bootstrap doesn't auto-add autobuild to $buildreq.

2011-10-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        gnulib git submodule.

2011-10-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        maint: tidy, sort and consolidate .gitignore files.
        The `gnulib-tool' and gnulib `bootstrap' scripts  maintain
        `.gitignore' files in asciibetical order, so reorder them now
        to avoid spurious patches later.

        Take advantage of putting recursive file ignore matches into
        `$top_srcdir/.gitignore' and remove repetitions from other
        `.gitignore' files.

2011-10-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        maint: don't run help2man on programs not-yet-built.
        * Makefile.am (doc/libtool.1, doc/libtoolize.1): Added a
        comment about why the dependencies here have to be a mite
        bizarre.

        tests: remove unused `aux_dir' variable from `getopt-m4sh.test'.
        * tests/getopt-m4sh.at (aux_dir): Remove unused variable.

        tests: DRYing out `tests/sh.test'.
        * Makefile.am (libtool_m4): Canonical location of libtool.m4 file.
        (lt_aclocal_m4_deps): Use it.

        maint: pass directory declarations in configure.ac into Makefile.
        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR)
        (AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR): Append code to these functions to
        capture and propagate their directory arguments to Makefile.
        * Makefile.am (aux_dir, ltdl_dir, macro_dir): Remove declarations.
        * bootstrap (my_sed_trace): Also capture LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR into
        `$ltdl_dir'.
        <Makefile>: Output the extracted values of `aux_dir', `ltdl_dir'
        and `macro_dir' at the top of the quick'n'dirty bootstrap
        Makefile.

        maint: factor out ltmain.sh variable deletion.
        * Makefile.am (ltmain_sh_edit): Expand upon bootstrap edit by
        adding the extra line to delete boilerplate variable settings
        from libltdl/config/general.m4sh that don't apply here.
        (libltdl/config/ltmain.sh): Use it.

        maint: DRYing out `Makefile.am' file paths.
        * Makefile.am (aux_dir, macro_dir): Include `$(srcdir)' in
        declaration. Adjust all references.
        (doc_dir, ltdl_dir, m4sh_dir, tests_dir): New single location
        to hold directory paths, all including `$(srcdir)', to reduce
        typing.
        (LT_M4SH): Use `$m4sh_dir' as include directory.
        (defs): This one is for a file in the build-tree, so no
        leading `$(srcdir)'.

        CLEANUP: fix error from pushing too far up the branch.
        * Makefile.am (install-data-local): Undo character transposition
        from too early push of untested v2.4-17-gaf74d58.
        * ChangeLog (2010-09-16): Remove spurious entry.

        maint: use macro_dir consistently in all files.
        * Makefile.am: Replace all uses of m4dir with macrodir to
        match AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR.
        * libltdl/config/libtoolize.m4sh: Replace all uses of macrodir
        with macro_dir.
        * tests/defs.m4sh, tests/sh.test: Likewise.

        maint: use aux_dir consistently in all files.
        * Makefile.am, Makefile.maint: Replace all uses of auxdir
        with aux_dir to match AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR.
        * libltdl/config/libtoolize.m4sh: Likewise.
        * tests/defs.m4sh, tests/getopt-m4sh.at: Likewise.

        Makefile: try to be robust against shell meta-chars in filenames.
        * Makefile.am: In each rule body, unless a make variable needs
        to be seen as multiple words by the shell (for word-splitting
        loops, or because it contains several commands), quote it. Use
        single quotes unless the shell needs to perform variable inter-
        polation, in which case use double quotes.

2011-10-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        maint: let make employ user's `SED' setting.
        * Makefile.am: Replace hard-coded `sed' with `$(SED)' through-
        out.

        maint: simplify and improve safety of bootstrap process.
        * Makefile.am (bootstrap_files): List files that need to be
        generated at bootstrap time before `./configure && make' can
        work.  It turns out that this is considerably fewer files than we
        had thought necessary previously.
        (bootstrap-deps-prep): Ensure minimum set of required substitution
        variables are non-empty.
        (bootstrap-deps): Depend on `bootstrap' files.
        * bootstrap (Generate bootstrap dependencies): Now that
        `Makefile.am' is entirely responsible for rebuilding files at
        bootstrap time, we need only specify the new `bootstrap-deps'
        target, and supply values for the substitutions checked by
        `bootstrap-deps-prep'.
        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR): `libtoolize.in' is not here yet
        right after running `bootstrap'.  So rely on the presence of
        `libltdl/config/libtoolize.m4sh', which is always there.

        build: eliminate superfluous temporary files from `Makefile.am'.
        * Makefile.am (CLEANFILES): Remove temporary file entries.
        (libtoolize.in, libltdl/config/ltmain.sh, libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4)
        (tests/defs, tests/testsuite): Factor away temporary files.

        build: eliminate `ltmain.in' and `libtoolize.in' intermediate files.
        * Makefile.am (libltdl/config/ltmain.sh, libtoolize.in): Pipe
        the output of `$(LT_M4SH)' directly into `$(bootstrap_edit)' to
        avoid use of superfluous intermediate file.

        build: don't hardcode repeated long paths in Makefile rules.
        According to the DRY principle, scattering several copies of
        something across a file or project leads to pain.  Let's not
        do that!
        * Makefile.am (Makefile_in, Makefile_inc, defs_in, defs_m4sh),
        (libtoolize_in, ltmain_m4sh, ltversion_in): New variables to
        hold the location of important files and targets.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Add the distributed ones by variable.
        (libtoolize, libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4)
        (libltdl/config/ltmain.sh, libltdl/stamp-mk, tests/defs)
        (tests/defs.in): Use the new variables to reduce noise and
        repetition.

        build: make better use of automatic variables in `Makefile.am'.
        * Makefile.am (libtoolize, libtoolize.in, libltdl/Makefile.am)
        (libltdl/config/mkstamp, libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh)
        (libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4, tests/testsuite, tests/defs.in):
        Make better use of automatic variables.

        build: name temporary files in `Makefile.am' consistently.
        Sadly, we still have to jump through hoops for MICROS~1's very
        old, very broken 8.3 naming convention, so we have to be careful
        to be unique in the first 8 letters, and not to use two periods
        in a filename, otherwise we could use the much more elegent
        `temporary files use "$@T"' idiom:
        * Makefile.am (libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4): Rename temporary file
        to `ltversion.tmp'.
        (libltdl/config/ltmain.sh): Rename temporary file to
        `libltdl/config/ltmain.tmp'.
        (libtoolize): Rename temporary file to `libtoolize.tmp'.
        (tests/defs): Rename temporary file to `tests/defs.tmp'
        (tests/testsuite): Rename temporary file to `tests/testsuite.tmp'.
        (CLEANFILES): Append temporary files as we create rules that
        use them.

        build: factor Makefile.am `m4sh' invocations to LT_M4SH.
        * Makefile.am (LT_M4SH): Now that all directories are listed as
        fully qualified paths, the search path argument to M4SH is always
        the same, so factor it out into a variable.  Adjust all callers.

        build: avoid unnecessary directory changes in Makefile rules.
        * Makefile.am (doc/notes.txt, libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4,
        (libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh, libtoolize.in, libltdl/Makefile.am)
        (libltdl/config/mkstamp, tests/testsuite, tests/defs.in): Avoid
        unnecessary `cd' commands by using fully qualified paths to files
        outside of current directory.

        build: compare `revision' rather than `correctver' in Makefile.am.
        * Makefile.am (rebuild): Set the shell variable `revision' rather
        than `correctver' for clarity of purpose.
        (bootstrap_edit, libltdl/config/ltmain.sh): Adjust.
        (libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4): Likewise, and alse, instead of munging
        the serial number comment line with set, extract `macro_version'
        from this file, and compare it directly with `revision'.
        (libtool): Likewise for `package_revision'.

        build: avoid spurious bootstrap_edit call.
        * Makefile.am (tests/package.m4): @FOO@ substitutions have already
        been made by the time Makefile.am has been transformed into Makefile,
        so don't try to rerun the substitutions manually with
        $(bootstrap_edit) after the fact.

2011-10-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

            Rhys Ulerich  <rhys.ulerich@gmail.com>

        Don't filter OPENMP flags (-openmp & -fopenmp) from linker lines.
        If -fopenmp if passed to gcc during linking, it will take care to
        add all necessary libs to link correctly for openmp support.
        Currently libtool filters those flags, similar as it was the
        case with the threading flags. This change handles the situation
        for the openmp support similar as before the thread support
        was fixed.

2010-11-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Eliminate hardcode_libdir_flag_spec_ld tag variable.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Set $wl to empty
        if $LD is used for creating shared libraries.  Do not use

2010-10-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        libtool: remove redundant unsubstituted shell var defaults.
        * Makefile.am (libltdl/config/ltmain.sh): Boilerplate code from
        libltdl/config/general.m4 sets some default shell variables
        designed to be substituted by `$(configure_edit)'.  Actually,
        `libtool' uses the language tag values for those variables, and
        `ltmain.m4sh' is not passed through `$(configure_edit)', so they
        are just noise.  Edit them out at bootstrap time.

2010-10-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        maint: don't leak developer GREP, SED etc into distribution file.
        * Makefile.am: Having rearranged the file, now apply the actual
        changes to follow-up.
        (edit): Split into two parts...
        (bootstrap_edit): ...substitutions that should happen at bootstrap
        time...
        (configure_edit): ...and substitutions that should not happen until
        configure time.
        * Makefile.am (libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4, libltdl/config/ltmain.sh)
        (libtoolize.in, tests/package.m4): Use bootstrap_edit.
        (libtoolize, tests/defs): Use configure_edit.
        * HACKING (Release Procedure): Remove the note to workaround the
        bug fixed by this changeset.
        * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention that this bug is now fixed.
        Reported by Joerg Sonnenberger.

        maint: rearrange Makefile.am in preparation for a follow-up patch.
        * Makefile.am (Libtool scripts.): Move this section below the
        `Bootstrap.' section...
        (libtoolize.in): ...except this one which is generated at
        bootstrap time, and was added into the `Bootstrap.' section.
        (Libltdl.): Move this section below the `Libtool scripts.'
        section.

2010-10-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        whole_archive_flag_spec is nonempty.  Fixes convenience.at test
        suite failures with gfortran 4.2 on Darwin.
        * THANKS: Update.
        Report by Paul Laight.

        Fix bindir check logic, and relax non-bindir case for AIX.
        * tests/bindir.at (bindir install tests): Rewrite checks for
        place of the installed shared library in two separate tests,
        depending on whether -bindir is supposed to have an effect or
        not.  In the positive case, make the test stricter so that we
        reject libraries in $libdir.  In the negative case, do not
        require a major version number in the $libdir file name, for AIX
        without runtimelinking.  If tmpdir creation fails, skip the
        test.  Use fewer bindir directory names for testing, to speed
        up the test.  Also mention MSVC style DLL name in comment.
        Report by Peter Rosin.

        tests: remove unneeded 'bindir compile check' test.
        * tests/bindir.at (bindir compile check): Remove.

        system.  Clarify need for symbol resolution at library creation
        time.

2010-10-09  Paolo Bonzini  <bonzini@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS)
        <dumpbin, lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe>: Make all sections
        viable for symbol extraction again when the symbols from a new
        file starts.  Fixes tests/tagdemo-make.test for MSVC 10.
        * tests/dumpbin-symbols.at: New test, making sure we don't
        regress.
        * Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Update.

2010-09-27  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        tests: check if sys_lib_search_path_spec works on MSVC.
        * tests/search-path.at (sys_lib_search_path on w32): New test,
        making sure v2.2.10-207-g09142ea doesn't regress.

        Skip need_lib_prefix.at on systems without lib prefix on libraries.
        * tests/need_lib_prefix.at [MSVC, OS/2]: Skip this test on
        systems that do not have libraries prefixed with lib.

        tests: clean up importing and exporting on w32.
        Makes the touched tests pass for MSVC when DLLs are built.

        BUILDING_LIBHELLO when building libhello.la.
        * tests/demo/foo.h, tests/pdemo/foo.h (nothing) <MSVC>: Export

        libhello.  For GCC and non-w32, and when building a static
        libhello, leave as an ordinary extern.
        * tests/pdemo/foo.h [Cygwin]: Remove unneeded and "dead" export
        and import logic (LIBFOO_DLL is always undefined).
        * tests/pdemo/longer_file_name_foo.c,
        tests/pdemo/longer_file_name_foo2.c (_LIBFOO_COMPILATION_): Not

        variables when building the associated library dll and import
        when using the library.  For GCC and non-w32, and when building
        static libraries, leave as an ordinary extern.

2010-09-26  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        docs: do not refer to Libtool version with dlopen functionality.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Dlopened modules): Remove broken reference

        Report by Roumen Petrov.

2010-09-23  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        msvc: don't try to export import descriptors.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [cygwin, mingw]
        [pw32, cegcc] <cl*, exclude_expsyms>: Don't export symbols in

        numbers.
        * NEWS: Update version number.

        manual: web-manual index.html clashes with @node Index.

        tests: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'v1' with no type.
        * tests/lt_dlexit.at (lt_dlexit unloading libs): Added an
        explicit int type to declaration of 'v1' to prevent compilation
        failure with C++.

2010-09-22  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        tests: reloadable objects do not work on MSVC, SKIP test.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER) [mingw, cygwin]
        <cl*, sys_lib_search_path_spec>: The LIB path variable telling
        where MSVC looks for libraries is likely to contain directory
        names with spaces.  Convert those directory names to the short
        8.3 DOS form (i.e. without spaces) when storing them in
        sys_lib_search_path_spec, as that is a space separated variable.

        (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS, _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Pass tag argument to
        _LT_SYS_MODULE_PATH_AIX.
        Tracked down and reported by Rainer Tammer.

2010-09-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        maint: edit-readme-alpha shouldn't try to re-edit during dist.
        * libltdl/config/edit-readme-alpha: If README is non-writable
        assume that it is being run from distcheck, and skip the edit
        with a warning (to help diagnose cases where the heuristic is
        not correct).  However, if README has already been edited to
        the alpha text, quietly skip without an error message.

2010-09-20  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        tests: __declspec (dll{ex,im}port) in tests/exceptions.at
        * tests/exceptions.at (common.h, module.h, lib.h) [w32]: Use
        __declspec (dllimport) and __declspec (dllexport) instead of
        the less portable __attribute__ ((dllimport)) and
        __attribute__ ((dllexport)).  Makes the test compile on MSVC.

2010-09-19  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

2010-09-17  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        Fix order of PATH manipulation in cwrapper and shwrapper
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_emit_cwrapperexe_src:main): Call
        lt_update_exe_path before lt_update_lib_path, to ensure that the
        temporary rpath values (which include the OBJDIRs of uninstalled
        libtool libraries) precede installation and final -rpath directories.
        (func_emit_wrapper): Prepend $dllsearchpath to PATH before prepending

2010-09-17  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        Document libtool variable to_host_file_cmd.
        * doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents:to_host_file_cmd):
        Document variable.
        (libtool script contents:to_tool_file_cmd): Prefer `build platform'
        to `build system'; Ditto `host platform'.

2010-09-16  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        Fix sh.test failure introduced in 72064249
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Avoid poor
        syntax.

        tests: avoid localization failure due to unstable compiler messages.
        * tests/testsuite.at (LT_AT_NORMALIZE_COMPILER_OUTPUT):
        Attempt to normalize temporary file names in error messages.
        Fixes 'localized compiler messages' test failure on Darwin when
        creating fat (multi-ABI) libraries.

2010-09-13  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        Prefer $NM @file when the toolchain isn't native to $build.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Avoid calculating
        the command line length and take the @file branch *if* the file
        names needs to be converted for the toolchain and the @file
        branch works.  Fixes problems in stresstest.at when doing a cross
        from Cygwin to MinGW using MinGW native tools (a.k.a. a "faked"
        cross), and for the specific case of MSVC on Cygwin it makes the
        test pass.

2010-09-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        maint: improve README instructions for fetching latest version.
        * README, README-alpha (Obtaining the Latest Sources): New
        section, describing use of savannah repositories and bootstrap.
        * README.alpha (Reporting Bugs): Remove git instructions in
        favour of a reference to the new `Obtaining the Latest Sources'
        section.

2010-09-14  Eric Blake  <eblake@redhat.com>

        maint: ship .xz, not .lzma
        * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Prefer better file format.
        * Makefile.maint (git-release, git-dist, prev-tarball)
        (new-tarball, diffs): Use correct extension.
        * HACKING: Update instructions.
        * .gitignore: Ignore .xz files.

        avoid long lines.
        (Libltdl interface, User defined module data)
        (Module loaders for libltdl): Wrap long @deftypefun input lines
        using trailing '@'.  Use @deftypefun rather than @deftp where
        appropriate, and add spaces in @deftypefun lines to fix the
        index entries generated from these lines.
        (Cheap tricks): Use @smallexample rather than @example, to avoid
        long lines.

        docs: @file and @option markup fixes.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Creating object files, Linking libraries)

        appropriate.

2010-09-12  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        * .gitignore: Ignore *.obj files for MSVC (and w32 in general).

        Adjust to moved auxiliary files and add compile.
        * HACKING (Maintenance Notes): Adjust to moved files.  Add the
        compile script.
        * Makefile.maint (fetch): Also fetch the compile script.

2010-09-12  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        tests: avoid empty AT_DATA contents, for zsh.
        * tests/libtoolize.at (libtoolize macro serial update)
        (libtoolize config files serial update, LIBTOOLIZE_OPTIONS):
        Do not create empty files with AT_DATA, the latter is documented
        to require a final newline.  Fixes testsuite failures with zsh
        4.3.10.

2010-09-12  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        When assigning $linklib value, honor [-all]-static[-libtool-libs]

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): When prefer_static_libs
        and static library exists, ensure old_library name is used as $linklib.
        Fixes failure on mingw when both static and shared libraries are
        present.

2010-09-12  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        tests: work around zsh use of $options variable.
        * tests/getopt-m4sh.at: Rename $options to $opts, the former is
        special for zsh 4.3.10.

        Fix AC_NO_EXECUTABLES test failure on IRIX 6.5.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [irix]: Cache result
        of link check for -Wl,-exported_symbol.
        * tests/no-executables.at (AC_NO_EXECUTABLES): Set
        lt_cv_irix_exported_symbol, to avoid link check.

2010-09-12  Jürgen Reuter  <juergen.reuter@physik.uni-freiburg.de>  (tiny change)

        * NEWS: Update.

2010-09-12  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Fix getopt.m4sh to require Autoconf 2.62 or newer.
        * libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh (m4_version_prereq): Require 2.62,
        not 2.61.

2010-09-11  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        Correct typo: $sharedlib_from_linklib_cmd missing '_cmd'

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_generate_dlsyms): Fix obvious
        typo, $sharedlib_from_linklib_cmd missing '_cmd'.

2010-09-10  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        Convert file name to toolchain format when invoking $NM.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_generate_dlsyms)
        (func_win32_libid, func_cygming_gnu_implib_p)
        (func_cygming_ms_implib_p): When using the name lister to find
        symbols in files, convert the file names to a format appropriate
        for the tool. Fixes testsuite issues in mdemo-static-make.test
        and mdemo-make.test when doing a cross from Cygwin/Wine to MinGW
        using MinGW native tools (a.k.a. a "faked" cross).

2010-09-09  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        Fix dependency tracking for MSYS/MinGW.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_to_tool_file): Add lazy
        argument which allows the user to specify conversions that are
        not desired.
        (func_mode_compile): Don't convert source files on MSYS, as
        MSYS does it for us. This fixes a regression introduced by
        "Use func_to_tool_file instead of fix_srcfile_path".
        Reported by Charles Wilson.

2010-09-08  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        Mention adjustment of naming of MSVC import libraries in NEWS.
        * NEWS: Mention the change in import library naming on MSVC.

2010-09-07  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        Adjust naming of MSVC import libraries.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER) [mingw, cygwin]
        [pw32, cegcc] <cl*, library_names_spec>: Adjust naming of the
        import library from foo-<major-version>.lib to foo.dll.lib, to
        avoid clashes with the static library for unversioned libraries.
        (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS, _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG) [mingw, cygwin, pw32]
        [cegcc] <cl*, archive_expsym_cmds>: Explicitely name the import
        library to match the above.

        Fixup texi typo in previous.
        * doc/libtool.texi (libtool script content) <postlink_cmds>:
        Add missing 'code' command.

        Convert POSIX file names to toolchain format for MSVC
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS, _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG)
        [cygwin, mingw, pw32, cegcc] <cl*, postlink_cmds>: Make
        sure the -outputresource: file name for the manifest tool is
        in w32 format.
        <cl*, archive_expsym_cmds>: Likewise for the MSVC command file
        containing the exports and the output file name.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Precalculate the
        toolchain format of the output_objdir file name and store it in
        the tool_output_objdir variable. Also replace any occurrence of
        @TOOL_OUTPUT@ in postlink_cmds with the toolchain version of the
        @OUTPUT@ content.
        * doc/libtool.texi (libtool script content): Update description
        of postlink_cmds to mention @TOOL_OUTPUT@.

2010-09-06  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        Use func_to_tool_file instead of fix_srcfile_path.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_compile): Replace the
        fix_srcfile_path hook with a call to func_to_tool_file.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [cygwin,mingw,pw32]
        [cegcc]: Drop fix_srcfile_path.
        * doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): Likewise.
        * NEWS: Mention that fix_srcfile_path has been replaced.

        Convert file names to toolchain format in $NM and $AR @files.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): When listing
        symbols and when creating archives using command files (or
        response files), make sure that both the name of the command
        file and the content are made up of file names in a format
        appropriate for the tool. Fixes stresstest.at on MSYS when
        run with low command line length.

        Convert file names to toolchain format when linking.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): When exporting
        symbols and when linking using command files (or response
        files), make sure that both the name of the command file and
        the content are made up of file names in a format appropriate
        for the tool. Fixes problems in stresstest.at on MSYS when run
        with low command line length.

        Add file name conversion from $build to toolchain.
        * configure.ac: Ensure to_tool_file_cmd is available to Makefile.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PATH_CONVERSION_FUNCTIONS): Add
        cache variable lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd that describes how to
        convert file names from $build to toolchain format.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_to_tool_file): New function
        that utilizes the above.
        * Makefile.am: Ensure to_tool_file_cmd is included in
        TEST_ENVIRONMENT so that it is passed to (old testsuite) tests.
        * testsuite.at: Ensure to_tool_file_cmd is passed as a variable
        setting on the configure line for (new testsuite) tests.
        * doc/libtool.texi (libtool script content): Update with
        to_tool_file_cmd description.
        (Cygwin to MinGW Cross): Update to mention lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd.

2010-09-02  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        tests: avoid spurious test failure due to library mode on HP-UX.
        * tests/help.at (debug tracing): Use $lt_INSTALL not cp for
        install mode, the latter will not overwrite an existing library
        with mode 555.

2010-09-01  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        Path conversion documentation
        * doc/libtool.texi (Platform quirks): Add new subsections
        'Cross compiling' and 'File name conversion'.

2010-09-01  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        tests: avoid spurious pic_flag test failure on HP-UX 10.20.
        * tests/pic_flag.at (override pic_flag at configure time):
        Match HP-UX 10.20 cc warning about unknown options, to skip
        the test.

        tests: fix localization test for GCC on HP-UX 11.00.
        * tests/localization.at (localized compiler messages): Be sure
        to switch the locale only for the actual compiler commands, so
        we don't pick up warnings from helper tools such as diff which
        may not have the locale installed.

        Avoid leaking make flags into testsuite results.
        * tests/defs.m4sh: Unset MFLAGS, MAKEFLAGS, MAKELEVEL, __MKLVL__
        and MAKE_JOBS_FIFO.
        * tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.
        Fixes warnings in test logs when the user uses 'make -jN check'
        and inner $MAKE invocations can't connect to the job server.
        Fixes spurious failures of configure-iface.at and of
        demo-noinst-link tests with BSD and Tru64 make if the user uses
        'make -k', as the exit status of the latter is not reliable.

2010-09-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Remove announce-gen.m4sh and mailnotify.m4sh.
        * libltdl/config/announce-gen.m4sh: Removed.  This script has
        no apparent connection to libtool functionality, and mostly
        duplicates the better maintained gnulib announce-gen script.
        * libltdl/config/mailnotify.sh: Removed. This script was used
        by only clcommit.m4sh and announce-gen.m4sh, both of which are
        now removed too.
        * Makefile.maint (announce-gen, libltdl/config/mailnotify):
        Targets removed.
        * bootstrap: Remove the mailnotify regeneration warning.
        * HACKING (Release Procedure): Remove references to
        announce-gen.
        (Alpha release note template, Full release note template):
        Reinstated from before announce-gen was introduced.

        Remove clcommit.m4sh.
        * clcommit.m4sh: Removed. This script was written to help keep
        ChangeLog and commit messages in sync when committing to CVS,
        and is an anachronism now that Libtool uses git.
        * Makefile.maint (commit): Target removed.
        * bootstrap: Don't generate commit.
        * HACKING (Release Procedure): Adjusted.

2010-08-31  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        archive-in-archive.at passes with Microsoft lib.
        * tests/archive-in-archive.at: Tighten test to check that the desired
        object files are indeed part of the archive. Microsoft lib still
        passes, so remove the expected failure for that case.

        Dump archiver output to the log when testing @file support.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_AR): Redirect stdout to config.log
        when testing for @file support.
        Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.

        Silence archiver output when testing @file support.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_AR): Redirect stdout and stderr
        to the bit bucket when testing for @file support.

2010-08-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Remove double `Generated from foo.m4sh' lines.
        We now require a modern Autoconf to bootstrap libtool, which
        will add the `Generated by ...' boiler-plate automatically,
        so we can remove the hand-rolled @configure_input@
        substitutions we had been doing:
        * clcommit.m4sh, libtoolize.m4sh, tests/defs.sh,
        libltdl/config/announce-gen.m4sh, libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh,
        libltdl/config/mailnotify.m4sh: Remove @configure_input@.
        * Makefile.am (edit): Remove configure_input substitution.
        (libtoolize, libltdl/config/ltmain.sh, libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4)
        (tests/defs): Don't set `$input' shell variable.
        * Makefile.maint (announce_gen, libltdl/config/mailnotify)
        (commit): Likewise.

2010-08-31  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        Extract the archive name from the .la file and use $AR (not ar).
        * Makefile.am: Pass AR through to the testsuite.
        * tests/archive-in-archive.at: Bump copyright year. Extract archive
        name from the .la file instead of hardcoding the name, and allow
        different archivers. Also clarify that the tested functionality is
        currently broken.

2010-08-30  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        tests: skip -Wall -Werror with Tru64 cc in cwrapper test.
        * tests/cwrapper.at (cwrapper for uninstalled executables):
        Use a link test rather than a compile test to flesh out unknown
        compiler flags starting with -W; Tru64/OSF1 cc will happily
        accept `-Wall -Werror' as indication to pass flags on to
        subprocesses.

        tests: avoid getopt-m4sh failures when autom4te is not available.
        * tests/getopt-m4sh.at (_LT_AT_GETOPT_M4SH_SETUP):
        Check $M4SH --version, skip on failure.

        tests: mark 'syntax of .la files' as XFAIL, expose failure.
        * tests/lalib-syntax.at (syntax of .la files): Assert that the
        string returned by lt_dlerror after a failure is non-NULL, so
        the failure shows up on systems other than Solaris.  Mark test
        as expected to fail.
        Suggested by Bob Friesenhahn.

2010-08-30  Eric Blake  <eblake@redhat.com>

        Simplify recent configure quoting portability workaround.
        * configure.ac: Simplify setting of timestamp_string.

2010-08-30  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        Update path conversion warning messages
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_convert_file_check): Update
        comments and warning message.
        (func_convert_path_check): Update warning message.

2010-08-29  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        Fix typo when renaming path conversion functions.
        * tests/testsuite.at: Ensure to_host_file_cmd is passed as a
        variable setting on the configure line for (new testsuite) tests.

2010-08-29  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Support GCC LTO on GNU/Linux.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Allow through
        flags matching -O*, -flto*, -fwhopr, -fuse-linker-plugin.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): Drop symbols
        starting with __gnu_lto.
        (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [linux] <archive_cmds, archive_expsyms_cmds>:
        Add $pic_flag for GCC.
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG) [linux] <archive_cmds, archive_expsyms_cmds>:
        Likewise.
        (_LT_SYS_HIDDEN_LIBDEPS): Ignore files matching *.lto.o.
        * NEWS: Update.

        Disable GCC LTO for verbose library extraction.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_HIDDEN_LIBDEPS): Temporarily
        append -fno-lto or -fno-whopr to CFLAGS if CC or CFLAGS (which
        are substituted with the per-language variables here) contain
        -flto or match -fwhopr*, respectively.

        Save and restore CFLAGS properly inside libtool.m4 macros.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): Use different
        temporary variables for saved and restored values of $LIBS,
        $CFLAGS, to avoid overlap with the *_CONFIG macros.
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG, _LT_LANG_F77_CONFIG, _LT_LANG_FC_CONFIG)
        (_LT_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG, _LT_LANG_RC_CONFIG): Also save and restore
        $CFLAGS, and override it with per-language flags, so that in
        case output_verbose_link_cmd uses $CFLAGS, the right flags are
        used.

        Work around yet another shell quoting portability issue.
        * configure.ac: Avoid nonportable quoted alternate variable
        value in unquoted here document, so Solaris 10 sh and Tru64
        ksh do not print spurious extra quotes.

        Silence order-only configure test for AIX make.
        * configure.ac: Also drop standard output, for AIX 5.1 make.

2010-08-28  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        Minor sysroot fixups.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_WITH_SYSROOT): Fix typo.
        * tests/sysroot.at: Search also for crt0.o to accommodate cygwin.

2010-08-28  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        [cygwin|mingw|cross-compile]: Path conversion support.
        * configure.ac: Ensure to_host_file_cmd is available to Makefile.
        * TODO: Document QoI issue with file name conversion functions.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PATH_CONVERSION_FUNCTIONS): New function

        libltdl/m4/libtool.m4, tests/demo/foo.h, tests/pdemo/foo.h:
        Change __WINDOWS__ to _WIN32.
        Report by Charles Wilson.

        Add $pic_flag to archive_cmds and archive_expsym_cmds.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS)
        <archive_cmds, archive_expsym_cmds>
        [GNU ld, netbsd]: Add $pic_flag if ELF.

        Uniform const'ness of symlist variable lt_preloaded_symbols.
        On some systems, lt_preloaded_symbols may not be declared
        const due to relocation issues.  C99 requires qualification to
        match for compatible declarations, so ensure we declare
        const'ness in the same way everywhere; link-time optimization
        may otherwise rightfully complain about inconsistencies.
        Since ltdl.h may not depend upon config.h, rely on system
        defines for choosing const'ness.
        * NEWS: Update.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Dlpreopening): Document this issue.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_generate_dlsyms):
        [__WINDOWS__, __CYGWIN__, _WIN32_WCE]: Define LT_DLSYM_CONST

        over a command-line argument specifying a nonexistent file (such
        as `@FILE'), so ensure failure with a reponse file containing
        a nonexistent file.  Also, use lt_* variable prefix for
        temporary variables.

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_finish): Change sysroot_regex
        and sysroot_cmd delimiter from pipe to slash.  Wrap the entire for
        loop with "if $opt_dry_run...fi" and print an explanatory message
        for the --dry-run case.

        func_resolve_sysroot before using it.  Remove absolute path expansion
        when func_resolve_sysroot subsumes it.  Expand sysroot in -rpath.
        When processing dependent libraries also resolve sysroot paths there.

        add --with-sysroot
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_HOST_NONCANONICAL, _LT_WITH_SYSROOT): New.

        name from import library directly. Also, properly extract dlsyms
        from the import library.
        (func_mode_link) [cygwin|mingw]: Prefer to dlpreopen DLLs
        over static libs when both are available.  When dlpreopening
        DLLs, use linklib (that is, import lib) as dlpreopen file,
        rather than DLL. Store name of associated la file in
        unique variable libfile_$(transliterated implib name)
        for later use.
        (func_win32_libid): Accomodate pei-i386 import libs
        as well as pe-i386.

        lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_to_c_name_address_lib_prefix
        as trailing space after module name is optional.
        (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [cygwin|mingw][C++]:

2010-06-28  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        For MSVC, embed the manifest as a resource in the executable.
        Fixes a lot of testsuite failures with MSVC 2003 (v8.0) and
        above (and perhaps also MSVC .Net) related to running programs
        that have been moved (e.g. installed) without their manifests
        also having been moved.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PATH_MANIFEST_TOOL): New macro
        that locates the Manifest Tool (mt) and verifies that it is
        indeed the manifest tool. The result is stored in the new
        variable MANIFEST_TOOL.
        (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) <postlink_cmds>: New tag variable.
        [ cygwin, mingw, cegcc ] <cl*>: Embed the manifest file as a
        resource. Make sure the embedding work regardless of if the
        @OUTPUT@ file name includes a trailing $EXEEXT.
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Likewise.
        (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS, _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Require the above
        _LT_PATH_MANIFEST_TOOL.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): After linking
        a program, replace @OUTPUT@ in $postlink_cmds and then execute
        the commands.
        * doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): Document
        new postlink_cmds variable.
        (LT_INIT): Add that the MANIFEST_TOOL environment variable can
        be used to override the manifest tool to use.
        * tests/exeext.at: New. Make sure linking with both -o prog
        and -o prog$EXEEXT works.
        * Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Update.

2010-07-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Skip `enhanced shell option appending' test when not available.
        * tests/getopt-m4sh.at [enhanced shell option appending]:
        _LT_AT_XSI_FUNC_EXTRACT will not be able to find the enhanced
        libtool func_append function if the replacement wasn't substituted
        by configure, since the decorator comments will be different - in
        that case simply skip the test.

2010-06-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Add func_append test cases for smart and retarded implementations.
        * tests/getopt-m4sh.at (_LT_AT_FALLBACK_FUNC_EXTRACT): New
        macro to extract a fallback function implementation from
        ltmain.m4sh.
        [option appending]: Use it for a test of the fallback
        implementation of func_append.
        [enhanced shell option appending]: And also test the enhanced
        implementation.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_append_quoted): Fix missing \\
        to escape a quoted space for eval.

        Correct func_split_short_opt comment cut-n-pasto.
        * libtool/config/getopt.m4sh (func_split_short_opt): Fix
        the function comment.

        Use a real XSI compliant func_split_short_opt substitution.
        * libtool/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CHECK_SHELL_FEATURES): Remove
        test ${foo:n:m} substrings, instead adding a ${foo%??} check
        to the existing XSI tests.
        (_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): Remove the ${foo:n:m} based
        func_split_short_opt substitution in favour of a properly
        XSI compliant substitution.
        Suggested by Paolo Bonzini.

2010-06-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Add func_append_quoted and do inline func_append substitutions.
        * libtool/config/ltmain.m4sh: Replace all occurrences of
        `foo="$foo bar"' with func_append. No decorator comment was
        added since /func_append [a-zA-Z0-9_]* "/ is already an
        excellent match regexp, and additional comments would only
        complicate things.
        (func_append_quoted): New function that quotes a value with
        func_quote_for_eval before appending it.  To avoid quoting the
        whitespace in the passed value, a single whitespace is added
        automatically.  Changed callers where possible.
        * libtool/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): Perform a
        `+=' implementation substitution for func_append_quoted.  More
        importantly, systematically replace matching func_append calls
        with inline `+=' when supported (for maximum speed), and
        longhand `foo="$foo bar"' otherwise to avoid the function
        overhead.

        Add an XSI replacement for func_split_short_opt, with test cases.
        * libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh (m4go_shortnoargs): Remove 'v' now
        that getopt.m4sh doesn't steal that letter for the --version
        short option.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (M4SH_GETOPTS): We can now use 'v'
        as a short option for '--verbose'.
        * libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh (m4go_printopts): Add back in the
        leading '-' for remaining non-argument short options.
        (func_split_short_opt): Use the correct sed script variable.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CHECK_SHELL_FEATURES): Also ensure
        that XSI substring extraction is supported.
        (_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): Use XSI substring extraction to split
        short options to avoid unnecessary forks if the host shell
        supports that.
        * tests/getopt-m4sh.at: New tests for getopt.m4sh coverage.
        * Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add getopt-m4sh.at.
        (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass M4SH and SED for substition into the
        m4sh expansion performed in tests/getopt-m4sh.at.

2010-06-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Add missing case branch terminators.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh: Fixed everal case branches with
        missing ';;' terminators.

        Use TAB-SPACE in preference to SPACE-TAB.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_XSI_REPLACE): Some editors
        might optimise away the SPACE in SPACE-TAB sequences, so use
        TAB-SPACE just in case.
        Reported by Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Amend a missed opt_mode rename instance in ltmain.m4sh.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh <mode>: Rename to opt_mode.

        Fix portability regressions in today's earlier changeset.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_XSI_REPLACE): `sed -i' is not
        portable; use `mv -f ...|| cp -f ...' instead.
        Add an initial backslash to sed `c' substitutions with leading
        whitespace, so that indentation is not removed by some non-POSIX
        compliant sed implementations.
        (_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): Display a diagnostic warning message if
        one or more XSI function replacements failed.

        getopt.m4sh generated libtool option parser, and XSI improvements.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): Moved portable
        shell versions of various utility functions from here...
        * libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh (func_split_long_opt): ...to here...

        (part of the cygwin g++ ABI) accesses pointers to data inside
        unloaded DLL. This is a platform ABI-specific bug, but is
        likely common to many platforms' g++ and/or other C++
        compilers.

        LT_OUTPUT should always create the libtool script.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (LT_OUTPUT): Make LT_OUTPUT ignore the
        --no-create configure option, and assume that the user wants
        to use an up-to-date libtool script if the LT_OUTPUT macro is
        present.
        * tests/early-libtool.at: Make sure we do not regress.

2009-01-26  Peter Rosin  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        Don't settle for any dumpbin/link program as name lister.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (LT_PATH_NM): When locating dumpbin or
        link -dump, check if they appear to really be capable of name
        listing, in order to eliminate e.g. link from coreutils. This
        makes the name lister decision fall back on nm as the default if
        no acceptable candidate is found, which mainly happens on
        (arguably broken) cross compiles.

        Fix low max_cmd_len template test on UnixWare.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): When expanding
        $reload_cmds, always put objects in $reload_objs rather than
        adding them to the command line, to allow more general command
        lines in reload_cmds.  Ensure $reload_objs contains a leading

        * Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set lt_INSTALL, not INSTALL,
        so that a bogus relative path to the install-sh script in the
        source tree is not propagated to the configure scripts of the
        old test suite.
        * tests/testsuite.at: Adjust.

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_install): New variable
        $install_cp, factor test when `cp' is used for installation.
        Do not pass mode override to cp.  Fixes `libtool --mode=install
        cp ...' on HP-UX; cp should not be used for libraries that might
        be needed by programs invoked during the installation process.

        Nonexistent `main' does not guarantee link failure.
        * tests/fail.at (Failure tests): Use an unresolved symbol,
        rather than non-presence of `main', to provoke a link failure
        also on QNX.  Only check for failure of the libtool script if

        Fix func_exec_init.
        * tests/defs.m4sh (func_exec_init): Instead of using the undefined
        my_dir, call func_dirname_and_basename and use its result.
        (func_make): For consistency, don't use the useless local variable
        my_dir.

2009-01-29  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        ARGS-OR-STATUS-ADJUST, for command-line arguments and/or exit
        status flattening.  Rewrite to prefer the executable with the

        Atomic shared library install permissions on HP-UX.
        The HP-UX 11 runtime linker fails to mmap shared libraries
        without execute permissions.  Fixing them with postinstall_cmds

        New argument `--help-all'.  If given, call func_help and
        func_mode_help several times, beating output in shape with sed.

        a web release announcement to http://planet.gnu.org via
        the savannah news manager.

        Add untested git push conflict testing to commit script.
        * clcommit.m4sh (func_check_conflicts): Test return status
        of 'git push --dry-run', and display an error on non-zero.

        Enable release procedure to work with lzma OLDRELEASE file.
        * Makefile.maint (diffs, prev-tarball, new-tarball): If lzma
        tarballs are present use them to generate the diffs, otherwise
        use gz tarballs if they are present, or else complain if both
        are missing.

        Set SCM version number to 2.2.7a.
        * configure.ac, libltdl/configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump version

        was introduced after automake-1.10 was released.
        (abs_top_srcdir, abs_top_builddir): No need to substitute these
        from configure anymore, since we require automake 1.10.1, which
        does perform the substitutions properly.

2008-04-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Only complain that files are up-to-date with --force.
        As a side effect, this also means that when `aclocal' copies the
        libtool macros into `aclocal.m4' libtoolize complains only about
        the macro files that are missing or not up-to-date.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_echo_once): New function that prints
        the contents of a named variable only on the first call.
        (func_aclocal_update_check): New function that compares serial
        numbers of libtool macros in aclocal.m4 and only diagnoses the
        missing files.
        (func_copy, func_copy_cb, func_copy_some_files, func_serial_update)
        (func_keyword_update, func_ltmain_update, func_config_update)

        (func_install_pkgconfig_parent: Set and pass a suitable
        header string variable for the above functions.
        (func_serial_update_check): Don't advise rerunning `libtoolize
        --force' when aclocal.m4 is not m4_including libtoolize installed
        macro files.
        * tests/testsuite.at (_LIBTOOLIZE_TRANSFORM): Transform generic
        /usr/local/share/aclocal paths to point into the uninstalled
        libtool macro directory.
        * tests/libtoolize.at: Update tests that were checking for old
        behaviour of outputing `file is already up to date' even when
        --force was not passed.
        * tests/libtoolize.at: New tests to prevent regressions of these
        smarter messages.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * libltdl/m4/lt~obsolete.m4: Add the filename to the #serial

2008-04-19  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Fix testsuite cleanup warnings on AIX with NFS.
        * tests/testsuite.at [ aix ]: Set file mode creation so that
        'others' have no permissions.  Shared libraries are kept in
        memory on AIX after use if they are world-readable, which means
        on NFS mounts cleanup of test group directories will fail later.
        * THANKS: Update.
        Report and analysis by Michael Haubenwallner.

        Fix nonportable use of expr.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link) <Transforming
        deplibs into only shared deplibs>: Fix expr portability issues,

        Report by Bob Friesenhahn.

        Exploit shell arithmetic expansion and ${#var}.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CHECK_SHELL_FEATURES): Also check
        for arithmetic expansion, and ${#var}.
        (_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): Define func_arith and func_len
        accordingly, falling back on 'expr'.  Note that the argument to
        func_len may not start with a hyphen.  In the pre-Posix
        fallback, take care not to rely on the exit status of the
        variable assignment (not portable), but set the length to
        $max_cmd_len instead.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Use func_arith
        and func_len throughout for integer arithmetic, fixing
        quadratical amount of counting for reloadable object and
        piecewise archive linking.  Change all comparisons with
        max_cmd_len to test for smaller, non-equal length.
        * THANKS: Update.
        Suggested by Roland Mainz.

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_compile): Avoid
        redundant removal of old output files before compilation.
        Do not remove $obj until we have successfully grabbed the
        lockfile (in case the compiler doesn't grok `-c -o'), because
        it might be identical to $output_obj.
        At the end of the function, before we remove the lockfile,
        update $removelist so that if the trap hits after the lockfile
        has been removed, we do not accidentally remove $output_obj that
        does not belong to us.
        (func_write_libtool_object): Use $MV instead of mv.

        Unfortunately, the autoconf implementation of AC_LIBOBJ and
        friends requires all libobjs to be in the same directory, as
        declared by AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR.  That might prevent using
        either recursive or nonrecursive libltdl if the parent project
        has libobjs of its own, except that this patch tracks libltdl's
        libobjs in another namespace:

        * libltdl/m4/ltdl.m4 (_LT_LIBOBJ, _LT_LIBSOURCES): Versions of
        AC_LIBOBJ and AC_LIBSOURCES that save missing sources in a
        ltdl_LIBOBJS automake macro, instead of the global LIBOBJS
        automake macro.  Content of the macros inspired by code from
        gnulib-tool.
        (_LTDL_MODE_DISPATCH): Initialise lt_libobj_prefix in
        nonrecursive mode.
        (LTDL_INIT): Push and pop the new definitions around potential
        sites that call AC_LIBOBJ.  Also, using lt_libobj_prefix,
        initialise ltdl_LIBOBJS and ltdl_LTLIBOBJS.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_fixup_Makefile): Substitute ltdl_LIBOBJS
        and ltdl_LTLIBOBJS for LIBOBJS and LTLIBOBJS during copying
        either Makefile.am or Makefile.inc, depending on ltdl_mode.
        Reported by Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

2008-01-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        There are 5 distinct batches of files that libtoolize might
        install into a project, depending on whether libltdl is
        being installed in subproject mode, and in that case whether
        the parent project shares the config and macro directories
        with the subproject ltdl.  Make a separate function for each
        of those 5 batches (4 new functions below, plus the recently
        factored func_install_pkgltdl_files), and make a clearer
        distinction between when each of them is needed:

        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_install_pkgmacro_subproject):
        New function for installing and reporting on m4 files copied
        to a subproject ltdl directory.
        (func_install_pkgmacro_parent): Similar new function for m4
        files copied solely for the use of the parent project,
        including serial checking.
        (func_install_pkgconfig_subproject): New function for
        installing and reporting on config helper files copied to a
        subproject ltdl directory.
        (func_install_pkgconfig_parent): Similar new function for
        config helper files copied solely for the use of the parent
        project, including serial checking.
        (func_install_pkgmacro_files, func_install_pkgconfig_files):
        Rewritten in terms of the above functions.
        * tests/libtoolize.at: Adjust test expout's to match newly
        regularized libtoolize output.
        Move parent project pkgconfig files to build-aux directory
        so that progress messages show an obvious difference to
        pkgconfig files installed to subproject `config' directory.
        (nonrecursive ltdl with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR): New test.
        (diagnose missing LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR): New test.
        (subproject ltdl with non-shared directories): New test.

2008-01-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_check_macros): Correct typo with
        '$opt_quiet ||' where '$opt_quiet &&' that was preventing
        func_check_macros from running!

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Set opt_ltdl whenever seen_ltdl is set
        so that libtoolize behaves as though --ltdl was passed even
        if it wasn't as long as LTDL_INIT (or equivalent) was seen
        in configure.ac.  Adjust redundant '$opt_ltdl || $seen_ltdl'
        to simply '$opt_ltdl'.
        Reported by Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_check_macros): Check opt_quiet
        in the function itself to simplify calling it.  Also move
        the definition of the function.

        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_scan_files): Be sure to set the
        default libltdl mode to 'subproject' when libtoolize is
        executed before configure.ac has been updated.

2008-01-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.m4sh (subproject_auxdir, subproject_macrodir):
        New variables to hold the default locations for auxfiles
        and macrofiles in a subproject libltdl.
        (ac_auxdir, ac_macrodir): New variables to hold the values
        passed by AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR and AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR resp.
        (auxdir, macrodir): Adjust to contain the values to be
        used by libtoolize at runtime.

        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_fixup_Makefile)
        (func_massage_aclocal_DATA, func_massage_pkgltdl_files)
        (func_massage_pkgconfig_files): Add missing $opt_debug.

        Add a test to simulate a failure visible on systems which
        need a library prefix like 'lib', such as BeOS.  Fix a number
        of bugs exposed by this test in order for it to pass.
        Currently the prefix is hardcoded as 'lib', as I am not aware
        of systems that require a different prefix:

        * libltdl/loaders/preopen.c (lt_dlpreload_open):  Move error
        condition out of test loop to be sure that each originator is
        tried, instead of erroring out if the first doesn't match.
        Support passing NULL as the originator to load all preloaded
        modules originating in the program itself.
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.c (lt_dlloader_dump): New debug function.
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_dlloader_dump): Declare it
        when LT_DEBUG_LOADERS is defined at compile time.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlinit): Dump loader list after successful
        initialisation.
        (tryall_dlopen): Add a new VTABLE parameter to force use of a
        specific loader in preference to trying every loader in turn.
        Adjust all callers.
        (try_dlopen): Always see whether a module was preloaded for
        module names with no directory component before searching the
        filesystem for a match.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): Declare
        a new global_symbol_to_c_name_address_lib_prefix variable.
        (global_symbol_to_c_name_address_lib_prefix): The sed
        expressions to use when a lib prefix is enforced need to be
        slightly different to work with preloaded modules.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_generate_dlsyms): In order
        to name preloaded symbols correctly for the lookup algorithm
        to work when the loaded module file must be prefixed with lib.
        Use global_symbol_to_c_name_address_lib_prefix when
        need_lib_prefix is other than no.

        attempt, and cast explicitly.
        (advise_dup): Add explicit cast.

2007-06-22  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (version-number) [irix]: Don't subtract

2007-06-21  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>

        * tests/f77demo/configure.ac [--with-dist]: New option.  Skip most
        Fortran checks when given.

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh: Add new magic variable
        for use with cwrapper.
        (func_ltwrapper_script_p): New function.
        (func_ltwrapper_executable_p): New function.
        (func_ltwrapper_scriptname): New function.
        (func_ltwrapper_p): Accomodate both wrapper scripts and
        wrapper executables.
        (func_mode_execute): Handle $file that is a wrapper
        script and $file that is a wrapper executable differently.
        (func_mode_install) [cygwin|mingw]: If $file is a wrapper
        executable, use func_ltwrapper_scriptname to determine
        wrapper script name. Afterwards, always use
        func_ltwrapper_script_p instead of func_ltwrapper_p.
        (func_emit_libtool_wrapper_script): Rename to...
        (func_emit_wrapper): ...this. All callers changed.
        (func_emit_libtool_cwrapperexe_source): Rename to...
        (func_emit_cwrapperexe_src): ...this. All callers changed.
        Embed new magic_exe variable into source. Private transient
        wrapper script now called foo_ltshwrapperTMP, not
        foo_ltshwrapper.
        (func_emit_cwrapperexe_src) [main, mingw]: Use _spawnv
        and return child's exit code manually rather than rely on
        broken execv.
        (func_mode_link) [cygwin|mingw]: Don't call dirname and
        basename directly; use func_dirname and func_basename
        when computing cwrapper names.  Use cwrapper to generate
        wrapper script, and use pathname returned by
        func_ltwrapper_scriptname instead of $output.
        (func_mode_link) [NOT cygwin|mingw]: move wrapper script
        generation for non-win32 inside case statement, as default
        case.
        (func_mode_uninstall) [$name's extension != .lo|.la]:
        'clean' mode must handle $file differently if it is a libtool
        wrapper script, or if it is a libtool wrapper executable.
        * tests/destdir.at [Simple DESTDIR install]: $EXEEXT fixups.
        * tests/destdir.at [DESTDIR with in-package deplibs]: Ditto.

        script.
        (func_emit_libtool_cwrapperexe_source) [file scope]:
        define permission flags S_IXGRP and S_IXOTH if not
        already defined.
        (func_emit_libtool_cwrapperexe_source) [LTWRAPPER_DEBUGPRINTF]:
        Use C89-compatible syntax to mimic variadic macros.
        Adjust all callers.
        (func_emit_libtool_cwrapperexe_source) [check_executable]:
        avoid embedded #ifdefs; use S_IXGRP and S_IXOTH
        unconditionally.
        (func_emit_libtool_cwrapperexe_source) [make_executable]:
        ditto.
        (func_emit_libtool_cwrapperexe_source): don't rewrite
        WRAPPER_SCRIPT_BELONGS_IN_OBJDIR posthoc; instead pass
        correct argument when calling func_emit_libtool_wrapper_script.
        (func_mode_link): pass correct argument when calling
        func_emit_libtool_wrapper_script.

        ensure that generated source follows GCS as nearly as
        possible.

2007-06-07  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_emit_libtool_wrapper_script):
        add code block to handle cases when wrapper script is in $objdir.
        (func_emit_libtool_cwrapperexe_source): replace DEBUG() macro
        with namespace-safe LTWRAPPER_DEBUGPRINTF(). Call
        func_emit_libtool_wrapper_script() with appropriate filters to
        embed script text in C char* static variable.
        (f_e_l_c_s: main): add new option --lt-dump-script, parse argv[]
        for it, and take appropriate action.  Call chase_symlinks()
        on argv[0], in case this.exe was launched via one.  Use chased
        value to determine full absolute pathname of wrapper script, in
        $objdir. Unconditionally write script out to this pathname and
        set permission bits.  Remove extraneous ';' from debugging loop.
        (f_e_l_c_s: main) [mingw]: DOS-ize $SHELL before populating
        newargv[0]; if $TARGETSHELL environment variable is set, use
        it instead of $SHELL and do not DOS-ize.  Ensure newargv[1]
        (wrapper script absolute path) uses only '/', not '\'.  Make
        sure to call execv() with DOS-ized $SHELL (or un-DOS-ized
        $TARGETSHELL, if set)
        (f_e_l_c_s: make_executable): new function
        (f_e_l_c_s: chase_symlinks): new function (no-op if !S_ISLNK)

        of static archives. Currently XFAILS, above only eliminates
        one of the two static archives.
        * Makefile.am: Add test.

2007-05-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * tests/lt_dladvise.at:  Use the lib prefix throughout for
        better portability - testing whether modules build and load
        without that prefix is not the domain of this test.
        Also, only run the test of the global hint with the depend
        module on hosts that can compile a module without passing
        -no-undefined in link mode.

2007-05-10  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>

        * tests/duplicate_deps.at: Make the XFAIL unconditional, but
        skip the test if the test link would succeed even without
        --preserve-dup-deps.

        * libltdl/config/general.m4sh (func_echo): Use $* instead of

2007-05-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Without this patch, lt_dlopen always opens modules with symbol
        visibility set according to the underlying implementation.
        Here, we add lt_dlopenadvise() to allow callers to request,
        among other things, local or global symbol visibility from the
        underlying dlloader:

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (LT_DLRESIDENT_FLAG): Removed.
        (LT_DLIS_RESIDENT): Use public is_resident info field.
        (LT_DLIS_SYMLOCAL, LT_DLIS_SYMGLOBAL): New macros to test for
        module symbol visibility status.
        (tryall_dlopen): If vtable->module_open() was able to act on
        either is_symlocal or is_symglobal hints, store that in
        the handle flags.
        (lt_dlopenadvise): New function that works like lt_dlopen(),
        but accepts an advise type to determine whether to ask
        dlloaders to change default symbol visibility.
        (lt_dlopen, lt_dlopenext): Just call lt_dlopenadvise() with
        the correct parameters.
        (lt_dladvise_init, lt_dladvise_destroy): New functions to
        initialize and destroy an advise type hint.
        (lt_dladvise_ext, lt_dladvise_resident, lt_dladvise_local)
        (lt_dladvise_global): Set hints on an advise type.
        (openadvise): Factored out of lt_dlopenadvise.
        (has_library_ext): Factored out of lt_dlopenadvise.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: Declare all of the above.
        (lt_dlinfo): New fields for advise hints.
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_module_open): Add a new
        advise parameter.  Adjust all callers.
        (lt_dladvise): New opaque type for advise hints.
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt__private.h (lt__advise): Declare
        contents of opaque lt_dladvise type.
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt_error.h (CONFLICTING_FLAGS): New error
        for attempts to have local and global symbol visibility at the
        same time.
        * libltdl/loaders/dld_link.c, libltdl/loaders/dyld.c,
        libltdl/loaders/load_add_on.c, libltdl/loaders/loadlibrary.c,
        libltdl/loaders/preopen.c, libltdl/loaders/shl_load.c: Adjust.
        * libltdl/loaders/dlopen.c (RTLD_LOCAL, RTLD_GLOBAL): Try to
        define these symbols if the system has equivalents.
        (vmopen): If unable to act on a caller request to set symbol
        visibility, then unset the relevant hints in the advise type.
        * tests/lt_dladvise.at: New tests for the above.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl Interface): Updated.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        ($(srcdir)/$(auxdir)/ltmain.sh): Updated to not depend on any
        phony rules.  Test `$?' for prerequisites that should always
        cause us to update the target.  Fixes rebuilding rules, at the
        cost of sometimes updating too much with non-GNU make.

        SYSTEM_ARGZ_IS_BROKEN when determining whether to re#def

        * libltdl/m4/argz.m4 (gl_FUNC_ARGZ): add new test to check

        for (hopefully) better clarity.

2007-03-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        The stamp-vcl file rules caused non-gnu make programs to rerun
        parts of the configuration process on each invocation.  Instead
        of relying on a stamp file, we now compare version numbers of
        generated files with the ChangeLog timestamp manually in the
        affected make rules to decide whether regenerating is necessary:

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove stamp-vcl.
        (clean-ltmain-sh): Also remove users' obsolescent stamp-vcl.
        (rebuild): Keep some common code here for...
        (libtool, libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4, libltdl/config/ltmain.sh):
        Rewritten to work without reference to intermediate stamp-vcl
        file.
        * configure.ac (CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES): Change from
        stamp-vcl to ChangeLog.

2007-03-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Handle argz.m4 specially like ltdl.m4, so
        that it isn't copied unless libltdl is being used.  Copy other
        macro files according to their tagged serial numbers.
        * tests/libtoolize.at: Adjust.

2007-03-18  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/mdemo/Makefile.am (libmlib_la_LDFLAGS): Add
        `-export-symbols-regex ".*"' because the convenience libltdl
        uses export markers and thus turns off autoexport on w32.  Fixes
        test failures for Cygwin and MinGW.
        Bug analysis by Charles Wilson.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER)
        (_LT_CHECK_MAGIC_METHOD, _LT_COMPILER_PIC, _LT_LINKER_SHLIBS)
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG, _LT_SYS_HIDDEN_LIBDEPS) [ interix ]: When
        matching for interix, accept version range [3-9] instead of 3.
        * NEWS: Update.
        Report by Martin Koeppe <mkoeppe@gmx.de>.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (LT_PROG_GCJ): Avoid M4 expansion error
        that caused `dnl' to be merged to the previous word.
        * THANKS: Update.
        Report by Steve Ellcey.

2007-03-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Replace literal tab chars in help comment
        with spaces to align columns in --help output.

2007-03-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Also apply the
        symbol filtering for w32 and the include_expsyms feature in the
        case of exceeded command line length.  Fixes test failure on
        MinGW.

        * tests/stresstest.at: For const data object imported from
        shared library, define appropriate macros to expand
        __declspec(dllimport) on w32.  Use two different main objects
        and pick the right one for the link flags we are about to test.
        Fixes test failure on MinGW.

        * tests/export.at: For const data object imported from shared
        library, define appropriate macros to expand
        __declspec(dllimport) on w32.  Fixes test failure on MinGW.

2007-03-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_check_macros): Display m4 quotes correctly
        in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR diagnostics.

        * libltdl/config/general.m4sh (M4SH_VERBATIM): New macro to
        simplify m4sh quote quoting in blocks of raw shell code.
        * clcommit.m4sh, libtoolize.m4sh, libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh,
        libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh, libltdl/config/mailnotify.m4sh,
        tests/defs.m4sh: Use it.
        * HACKING (Editing `.m4sh' Files): Mention M4SH_VERBATIM Macro.

2007-02-27  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/lt_dlexit.at: Allow test to pass on static-only systems
        and with disable-shared.

        * NEWS: Rewrite all news since 1.9f and put in categories,
        update.

        * libltdl/Makefile.inc: Fix the file description, so that it
        matches recursive and nonrecursive libltdl setup.
        * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/libltdl/Makefile.am): Do not depend
        upon the exact text of the copyright header, just copy until
        the marker line.  Remove the marker lines in the output, and
        adjust the description for subpackage setup.

2007-02-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/libltdl/Makefile.am): Fix regexp typo.

        * clcommit.m4sh: Look in the right directory for helper scripts.

2007-02-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/libltdl/Makefile.am): Fixup regex to
        match Copyright notice change below.

        * HACKING, Makefile.am, Makefile.maint, bootstrap,
        libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/Makefile.inc, libltdl/m4/libtool.m4,
        ltmain.c, tests/cdemo/Makefile.am, tests/demo/Makefile.am,

        tests/mdemo/Makefile.am, tests/mdemo2/Makefile.am,
        tests/pdemo/Makefile.am, tests/tagdemo/Makefile.am: Update
        Copyright notice text to include URL for canonical GPL document.

2007-02-25  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/static.at: Forgot to fix PATH for the first
        func_test_exec invocation.  So factor out into new functions
        func_fix_path and func_restore_path and use those.

        * README: Document the need for GNU make to build Libtool.
        Point the user to the doc/notes.txt file.  In the examples, use
        `gmake' throughout to make it more obvious.  Explain simpler way
        to run both testsuites and either one.  Referring to individual
        tests needs the `tests/' prefix.
        * README.alpha: Likewise.
        * doc/notes.texi: Likewise, document need for GNU make.
        Comment out the FreeBSD make issue for now.

        * tests/static.at: Larger rewrite to make work on w32: Use three
        different prefixes instead of three libdirs, so the moving of
        the DLLs works as expected.  Adjust all code.  Since now
        $libdirI/../bin is distinct from the directory of the installed
        program, take care than on w32 PATH contains the needed bindirs,
        in appropriate order.
        Report by Charles Wilson.

        * Makefile.am (INSTALLCHECK_ENVIRONMENT): Point LTDLINCL and
        LIBLTDL to installed libltdl, so that it is being used by
        the lt_dlexit test.

2007-02-24  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Install mode, libtool script contents):
        Describe current and system-specific DESTDIR limitations.
        * tests/destdir.at: XFAIL if `fast_install' is no.

        * doc/libtool.texi (LT_INIT): Fix typo.

        * doc/libtool.texi (Libtool test suite): Mention the new
        testsuite.  Point to README rather than INSTALL for testing
        instructions.
        (Test descriptions): Fix more file names.  Also mention
        cdemo-undef.test, mdemo2-conf.test, mdemo2-exec.test,
        mdemo2-make.test, objectlist.test, pdemo-conf.test,
        pdemo-exec.test, pdemo-inst.test, pdemo-make.test,
        tagdemo-conf.test, tagdemo-exec.test, tagdemo-make.test,
        tagdemo-static.test, tagdemo-shared.test, tagdemo-undef.test,
        f77demo-conf.test, f77demo-exec.test, f77demo-make.test,
        f77demo-static.test, f77demo-shared.test, fcdemo-conf.test,
        fcdemo-exec.test, fcdemo-make.test, fcdemo-static.test,
        fcdemo-shared.test.  Describe what they do.
        (When tests fail, Troubleshooting): Mention how to pass options
        to the new test suite.
        * tests/tagdemo/README: Fix description.

        * bootstrap: Also set GREP, FGREP, EGREP, LN_S, when creating a
        preliminary ltmain.sh script.

        * doc/libtool.texi (Test descriptions): Track the grand test
        suite renaming from 2003-10-14 in the tests documentation.
        assign.test is merged into sh.test.  Fix description of sh.test.
        * tests/sh.test: Likewise.

        * doc/libtool.texi (LT_INIT): Fix wording of intro a bit.
        <shared, static>: Also describe these default LT_INIT options.
        <AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL>
        <AC_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL>: Mention deprecated macro names,
        including the respective LT_INIT replacement.
        <AC_DISABLE_SHARED, AC_DISABLE_STATIC, AC_ENABLE_SHARED>
        <AC_ENABLE_STATIC>: Document, un-deprecate.  Suggest the
        respective LT_INIT replacement.
        <AM_DISABLE_SHARED, AM_DISABLE_STATIC, AM_ENABLE_SHARED>
        <AM_ENABLE_STATIC>: Document deprecated aliases.
        (Distributing libltdl) <AC_WITH_LTDL, AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE>
        <AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE>: Document deprecated aliases.
        * libltdl/m4/ltoptions.m4 (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_DISABLE_SHARED)
        (AM_ENABLE_STATIC, AM_DISABLE_STATIC): Make these AU_ALIASes of
        the respective AC_* macros, so we do not recommend LT_INIT(*) in
        this case.
        (AC_ENABLE_SHARED, AC_DISABLE_SHARED, AC_ENABLE_STATIC)
        (AC_DISABLE_STATIC): Un-deprecate these.  Remove now-superfluous
        aclocal-1.4 backwards compatibility comments.

        * tests/link-order2.at: Rewrite completely.  Do not use `sin'
        from the math library, there are too many problems with this.
        Instead, use a self-written library, install it without the
        Libtool library file, to emulate a native library in a system
        directory, and adjust $shlibpat_var.  Try overriding its symbol.
        Further, also try an installed `wrong' binary.
        Avoid failing test bits on AIX without runtimelinking and on
        Darwin in some cases, SKIP at the end in this case.
        Analysis by Peter O'Gorman.

        * doc/notes.texi: Mention MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET issue.
        * tests/template.at: Only skip those tests failing on Darwin
        if `-flat_namespace' is used by libtool.  In that case, SKIP
        at the end.  Analysis by Peter O'Gorman.

2007-02-23  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Fix -export-symbols and -export-symbols-regex for links that
        exceed the command line length and use convenience archives.

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Avoid grepping a
        nonexistent file if using reloadable objects.  Do not create a
        linker script nor a linker input file if no objects are passed.
        Apply export_symbols_regex in case the command line length is
        exceeded.
        Report by Bob Friesenhahn.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS)
        <compiler_needs_object>: New tag variable.  Default to `no'.
        (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [ linux ]: Set it to yes for Sun C 5.9.
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Also default it to `no'.
        [ linux ]: Set it to `yes' for Sun C++ 5.9.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): If we link
        no objects but only convenience archives into a library,
        force expansion if `compiler_needs_object' is yes.
        For creating a linker input filelist due to long cmdline,
        extract the first object if `compiler_needs_object' is yes.
        * doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): Document it.
        Fixes test failures of Sun compilers on GNU/Linux.
        Report by Terry D. Dontje.

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Avoid setting
        `$libobjs' to a single space; set it to empty in that case.

2007-02-23  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_generate_dlsyms) [ osf5 ]:
        On Tru64 5.1, const relocations do not work well.  Omit the
        const here.  Fixes failure of demo-make after demo-shared with
        link editor error `seg_info_ptr: Couldnt find a seg type 2'.

        * Makefile.am (doc_libtool_TEXINFOS): Renamed from...
        (libtool_TEXINFOS): ...this, to fix dependencies.  Omit from
        EXTRA_DIST.
        (check-local): Also depend upon $(bin_SCRIPTS).

2007-02-23  Ralf Menzel  <menzel@ls6.cs.uni-dortmund.de>  (tiny change)

        * libltdl/config/general.m4sh (sed_double_backslash): Fix
        hacky sed script to avoid limitations but retain portability to
        Solaris /bin/sed.  Remove old obsolete cruft.

2007-02-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Fix the check for
        convenience archives when warning about linking against static
        libraries: test against $deplib rather than empty $lib.

2007-02-19  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/m4/ltdl.m4 (LT_WITH_LTDL): Fix detection of new enough
        libltdl by actually checking for the declaration of
        lt_dlinterface_register in ltdl.h with AC_CHECK_DECL.
        Remove redundant configure output line.

        * tests/template.at: Reformat, add M4 quoting.  Use $LDFLAGS
        consistently for link mode.

2007-02-18  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/static.at: Use the right names for the broken libs.

2007-02-17  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/deplibs-ident.at [aix, hppa*-*-hpux*, interix, openbsd]:
        Do not XFAIL, on these systems we happen to pass.
        * tests/duplicate_deps.at [aix]: Likewise.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER) [ linux |
        k*bsd*-gnu ]: Fix eval quoting in the DT_RUNPATH test.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [ linux ]
        <whole_archive_flag_spec>: For Sun C/C++ 5.9, do not add
        /dev/null as dummy object, it fails with GNU ld version
        2.16.91.0.7-amd-sles9.  Report by Terry D. Dontje.
        * THANKS: Update.

2007-02-14  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [ osf4, osf5 ]
        <archive_expsym_cmds>: Use `${wl}-input' not `-input', for
        cc.  Could use `-input_to_ld'.
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG) [ osf4, osf5 ] <archive_expsym_cmds>:
        Use `${wl}' instead of `-Wl,', for consistency.

2007-02-12  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Fix spurious testsuite failures on AIX due on NFS mounts due to
        shared library images that cannot be removed without `slibclean'
        which needs superuser privileges.

        in this case.  At the end of the test, SKIP if we are not fully
        functional.

        * tests/lt_dlexit.at: Add casts and `extern "C"' to let the test
        pass with a C++ compiler.

        generated shell functions.

        * tests/testsuite.at (LT_AT_NOINST_EXEC_CHECK): New macro, like

        that currently needs library names to begin with `lib'.

2007-02-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/export.at: New test: expose -export-symbols failure

        is exceeded.
        * Makefile.am: Adjust.

        configure-generated shell functions to before the first option
        parsing loop.  Rewrite the separation of the long options to use
        func_opt_split.

2007-02-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi: Update copyright years.

2007-02-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/config/general.m4sh (sed_double_backslash): Replace
        POSIX sed script with a hack that treats up to 10 backslashes
        in the input correctly and is portable to Solaris /bin/sed.

2007-02-08  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/testsuite.at (LT_AT_TAG): Skip also if the compiler

2007-01-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Introduce a new test keyword `recursive' for tests that create a
        modified `libtool' script and run the suite on this script.  All
        tests with the keyword `libtool' are (by definition) suitable to
        be used here.

        * tests/cmdline_wrap.at: New test.
        * Makefile.am: Adjust.
        * tests/testsuite.at (LT_ESCAPE): New macro: clone of Autoconf

        expanding parameters but nothing else.
        * tests/stresstest.at: Use LT_AT_CHECK.  Create some files to
        expose erroneous globbing errors with `-export-symbols-regex',
        similar to those reported by Charles Wilson.  Use `eval' and
        adjusted quoting so the expansion doesn't already happen in the
        testsuite commands.
        * HACKING: Update.

2007-01-27  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/link-order2.at: Define our override `sin' function with
        C binding even if $CC is a C++ compiler.  Skip the test with g++
        as its command line driver reorders `-lm'.

        file, define a type for the symbol list, and declare the list
        `extern', so that it is extern even if compiled by a C++
        compiler.  The type definition helps avoid a compiler warning

2006-06-13  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Fix the bugs where libtoolize needs to use `dir/file' instead of
        `./dir/file', where ltdldir is `.', so that libtoolize correctly
        checks for (and suggests) `config' and `m4' instead of
        `./config' and `./m4' as auxiliary resp. macro directories.
        The change is necessary for unambiguous naming, the chosen way
        plays better with non-GNU make in VPATH builds.

        * libtoolize.m4sh (ltdlprefix): New variable, to use as prefix
        instead of `$ltdldir/'.
        (func_check_macros): Use it.  Bug report by Eric Blake.

2006-06-12  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Fix several libtoolize-related bugs:
        - Do not symlink aclocal.m4, to work around a bug in aclocal
        overwriting the linked-to file instead of removing the symlink.
        - Have `libtoolize --copy' cause current time stamps, so that
        dependents will be rebuilt; for this, install files in order.
        - Fix list of distribution files for (non)recursive libltdl.
        - Fix some failure cases.

        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_copy_cb):
        If `$opt_link', still copy `aclocal.m4', so a subsequent
        `aclocal' will not overwrite the symlink target.
        In `--copy' mode, do `cp -p' and `touch' for each file, so
        timestamps are updated but permissions preserved.
        (main): Reorder installing of files to match logical order
        and timestamp requirements.
        (func_fixup_Makefile_inc): Renamed to
        (func_fixup_Makefile): this.  Add sed scriptlet to remove
        non-existent files from EXTRA_DIST, for either nonrecursive
        or recursive mode.
        (main): call it to mangle also in recursive mode.
        * tests/libtoolize.at (expout): Adjusted.
        * tests/testsuite.at (tst_dist): Default to `dist'.

2006-06-10  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2006-05-18  Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * tests/early-libtool.at: Pass $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS to
        compiler when compiling for extra flags that might be
        needed for ANSI-compliance, 64-bit, etc. The environment
        we compile with should match the environment libtool was

        * (AS_SHELL_SANITIZE): Replace by faster, actually necessary
        part of its expansion, taken from current Autoconf CVS.  Do not
        save and set all locale variables any more, but only LANG,
        LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MESSAGES.
        (func_mode_execute): Adjust.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CONFIG): No need to unset CDPATH

        Introduce a new variable, hardcode_direct_static, which

        static library dependency. Static library dependencies are
        immune to $shlibpath_var.
        * tests/link-order.at: Take hardcode_direct and

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (help message): Use $host not
        @host_triplet@, as the `@..@' substitution is done at bootstrap

        PGI: for `reload_cmds', we not only need to get rid of `$wl',

        whole_archive_flag_spec correctly.

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link) <shell wrapper>:

2005-12-16  Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        In the subpackage case, we do not install Makefile.inc.  Since
        we have to be correct for this case, remove `Makefile.inc' from
        EXTRA_DIST.  Recursive mode does not use it either.  Since
        nonrecursive mode requires an Automake >= 1.7 anyway, and those
        versions automatically distribute included makefile fragments,
        we don't need to cater for that one either.

        * libltdl/Makefile.inc (EXTRA_DIST): Remove Makefile.inc.
        Reorder other entries.

2005-12-16  Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute `libltdl/stamp-mk' and

        (all-local): Ensure the stamp files is up to date.
        (libltdl/aclocal.m4): New target, to ensure timestamp
        consistency.  Depend on all m4 files.
        * HACKING: Updated.

        * tests/testsuite.at (PREPARE_TESTS): New variable `tst_dist',
        default to empty.
        * tests/nonrecursive.at, tests/recursive.at,
        tests/standalone.at, tests/subproject.at: Use it in
        LT_AT_BOOTSTRAP or LT_AT_MAKE, so that you can optionally test
        redistribution within the tests.

        * libltdl/m4/lt~obsolete.m4: Update documentation for aclocal
        versions before 1.7.  Change all macros to use AC_DEFUN instead

        were used at one time in libtool.m4.

        * tests/am-subdir.at (Makefile.am): Put automake options here,
        in AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.  Require 1.6 because of the newer
        `AC_INIT(pkgname,version) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' scheme.
        * tests/nonrecursive.at, tests/recursive.at: Require 1.7,
        because libltdl rules use `+=' in conditionals.

2005-10-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Put back the func_serial_update callback for
        func_copy_some_files so that the testsuite passes again.  We'll
        have to find a better way of handling serial numbers in libtool
        macro files.

        * libltdl/Makefile.inc: New file, factored out of Makefile.am for
        use in non-recursive libltdl installations.
        * bootstrap: Adjust.
        * Makefile.am: include it.
        (libltdl/Makefile.am): Adjust to build from the new

        * doc/libtool.texi (Invoking libtoolize): Document the new modes
        and libtoolize option to select them.

        and --subproject.  Install the appropriate files with --ltdl
        according to the selected mode.
        (func_scan_files): If --subproject, --recursive or --nonrecursive
        options were not given, use the value from LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR; if
        a mode was given, and there is also an argument to
        LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR, ensure they are the same.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Don't use func_serial_update as a copy
        function for libtool m4 files with no macro_regex.  If the
        files are copied directly into aclocal.m4, because
        AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR isn't set for example, there is no way
        to tell what serial number goes with what source file.
        (func_serial_update): For future-proofing, only make the second
        serial number check if the destination file wasn't m4_included
        into aclocal.m4 (and hence updated automatically by the cat of
        copying a new version to the dest directory).

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Move the consistency checks...
        (func_check_macros): ...into here.  Also suggest LT_WITH_LTDL if
        appropriate.

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Copying just libtool.m4 for hand maintained
        aclocal.m4 doesn't work.  List all required files in that case,
        using the files from installed libltdl if available.  Also, list
        the additional files required when using libltdl.
        Reported by Patrick Welche <prlw1@newn.cam.ac.uk>.

        interface validator argument.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Updated.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Always copy pkgconfig_files for --ltdl, incase
        ltdl needs additional things not found by automake when looking at
        the parent project configury.

        * tests/subproject.at: Use it.  Do not call `autoreconf' in

        breaks `make check' during `distcheck' because of a readonly

        (LTDL_INSTALLABLE, AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE): Ditto.
        (LTDL_INIT): lt_ltdl_dir is set by LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR now, and

        upgrade their configure.ac yet, call LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR for them.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_scan_files): If --ltdl option is given

        upgraded libtool, but still use an old autoconf.  When the libtool
        macros are not copied (because of missing ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS and

2005-08-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Reorganise the libtool tree to create a bootstrapped libltdl for
        installation to the libtoolize master tree, so that libltdl is
        useable even in the extreme case of when automake and autoconf are
        not installed on the developers machine.  Part of this change
        requires some duplication of rules between Makefile.am (which
        builds libltdl for this distribution) and libltdl/Makefile.am
        (which is used by projects that libltoolize --ltdl --copy), so
        libtool now really does use a single toplevel Makefile.am, and we
        generate libltdl/Makefile.am from that:

        * m4, config: Moved from here...
        * libltdl/m4, libltdl/config: ...to here, to reduce the amount of
        kludging needed in bootstrap for autoreconf to run.
        * tests/cdemo/Makefile.am, tests/demo/Makefile.am,
        tests/depdemo/Makefile.am, tests/f77demo/Makefile.am,
        tests/fcdemo/Makefile.am, tests/mdemo/Makefile.am,
        tests/mdemo2/Makefile.am, tests/pdemo/Makefile.am,
        tests/tagdemo/Makefile.am (ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS): Adjust to
        compensate.
        * tests/cdemo/configure.ac, tests/demo/configure.ac,
        tests/depdemo/configure.ac, tests/f77demo/configure.ac,
        tests/fcdemo/configure.ac, tests/mdemo/configure.ac,
        tests/mdemo2/configure.ac, tests/pdemo/configure.ac,
        tests/tagdemo/configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR): Ditto.
        * libltdl/m4/ltdl.m4: Increment serial number.
        (LTDL_INIT): Accept an optional directory argument to prefix each
        of the LD_DLLOADERS locations.  Default to empty for backwards
        compatibility.
        * Makefile.maint: Adjust to compensate.
        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR): Adjust.
        (AC_CONFIG_LIBOBJ_DIR): Set here so that we can build LTLIBOBJS
        from in a subdirectory from the amalgamated Makefile.am.
        (AM_PROG_CC_C_O, AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Use subdir-objects.
        (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove libltdl/Makefile.am.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am: Removed from repository, and merged into
        Makefile.am as we now generate it...
        * Makefile.am (libltdl/Makefile.am): ...from here, by extracting
        the merged rules, and tweaking paths to accomodate the difference
        in directory from Makefile.am to libltdl/Makefile.am.
        (nobase_dist_pkgdata_DATA): Automake generated installation rules
        change timestamps of installed files, so renamed this...
        (configauxfiles): ...to this...
        (libtoolize): ...substitute it...
        (install-data-local): ...install manually, preserving
        timestamps...
        (install-data-hook): ...and set execute bit as appropriate.
        (uninstall-hook): Not forgetting to remove them at uninstall.
        (libltdl/Makefile.in): New rule.  Called from...
        * bootstrap: ...here to avoid relying on config.status at
        bootstrap time.
        (auxdir, m4dir): Extract from configure.ac for ease of future
        maintenance.  Adjust all references.
        (reconfdirs): Call autoreconf for libltdl too -- even
        though we don't use it for the build, libltdl/configure and
        friends are installed with `libtoolize --ltdl --copy'.
        * libtoolize.m4sh: Add files from the installed config master tree
        to libtoolize --ltdl project subdirectory.
        Diagnose duplicated files when --ltdl is used in an autotooled
        project.
        It's perfectly fine to run `libtoolize --ltdl --copy' in a tree
        that has no configure.ac or configure.in; we want libltdl to be
        useful even to projects that don't use autotools themselves.
        (libtoolize_flags): Removed.  Changed all callers.
        (func_massage_pkgconfig_files): New function.
        * tests/standalone.at: New tests for using libltdl without
        supporting configury in the parent project.
        * tests/testsuite.at: Run them!
        * NEWS: Updated.

        forgotten end bracket.

        output from MS dumpbin, and align the columns.

        (LT_PATH_NM): If nm is not found on the path, look for
        dumpbin. Then check if $NM responds as dumpbin would
        and if not, assume the name lister is BSD nm compatible.
        (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): If the name lister uses the
        dumpbin interface, adjust the test to find a working
        global_symbol_pipe.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Document $NM to possibly be MS
        dumpbin compatible, and also document the format of the
        relevant output from MS dumpbin.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Ignore errors from expr
        when determining if piece-wise linking should be done.

2005-08-04  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link) <cwrappersource>: Add
        missing bit from Christoph's patch.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_HARDCODE_LIBPATH, _LT_LINKER_SHLIBS)
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Comment typos.

2005-08-04  Christoph Egger  <Christoph_Egger@gmx.de>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link) <cwrappersource>: Change
        basename() to base_name() and have it return a pointer to const,
        fix compilation warnings.

2005-07-30  Peter Ekberg  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_F77): Set it up so that saying F77=no
        to configure disables the fortran tests in the testsuite.

2005-07-29  Richard Moseley  <dickie.moseley@virgin.net>

        * m4/ltdl.m4 (LTDL_INIT): Handle in addition the new name for
        AC_LIST_HEADERS which is _AC_LIST_TAGS.

2005-07-28  Peter Ekberg  <peda@lysator.liu.se>

        * libltdl/Makefile.am: Make the LTDLOPEN define controllable
        from the configure script.
        * m4/ltdl.m4 (LTDL_INIT): Set the LTDLOPEN define according
        to libname_spec.

        * tests/mdemo-dryrun.test: ls -l in MSYS sometimes shows year,
        not time, for really fresh files. Add sleep 1 calls at
        strategic places. Makes the test pass for MinGW.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_OPTION): Fix copy-paste bug, it is
        the linker that is tested.

        * tests/demo-noinst-link.test: $make is empty on MSYS, replace
        with $MAKE. Makes the test pass for MinGW.

        the fake symbol line ": @PROGRAM@ " from the list of exported
        symbols.

        that no dialog is popped up in case the file given to
        LoadLibrary is not a dll.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link) <lib>: Make sure
        skipped_export is set to colon if _some_ cmd of
        export_symbols_cmds is too long.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: The linker is confused by having one
        definition of lt_libltdlc_LTX_preloaded_symbols tagged with
        __declspec(dllexport) in ltdl.c and one definition with an
        initial value in libltdlcS.c. So, just say extern in ltdl.c.
        Fixes the mdemo-exec.test for MinGW.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link) <lib>: Zap duplicate
        message "creating reloadable object files..."

        $top_srcdir/Makefile.am, along with proxy rules in sub-Makefiles,
        this changeset consolidates almost everything into the top
        Makefile.am, simplifying things considerably:

        * doc/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am: Removed.  All rules moved...
        * Makefile.am: ...to here and adjusted to run from $top_builddir.
        Some reformatting to group rules and declarations by purpose, and
        simplify with respect to removing much of the make recursion.
        Add `doc/PLATFORMS', `doc/fdl.texi' and `doc/notes.texi'.
        `defs.in' and `defs.m4sh' are in directory `tests'.
        (uninstall-hook): Don't forget to uninstall libtoolize's libltdl
        source tree.
        * bootstrap: Simplified dirty makefile management, and bootstrap
        file creation in light of having only a single pertinent
        Makefile.
        * configure.ac (CONF_SUBDIRS): Add tests/ prefix to each subdir to
        compensate.
        (DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST): Adjust.
        (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove doc/Makefile and tests/Makefile.
        * tests/defs.m4sh (LIBTOOL, scripts): Adjust paths.

        * config/general.m4sh, libtool.m4 (_LT_SETUP), tests/defs.m4sh,
        tests/functests.at: Fix definition of $Xsed.

2005-04-07  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Improved Portland support: prelinking of C++ templates and
        whole_archive.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_COMPILER_PIC, _LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [linux]:
        Reinstate formatted whole_archive_flag_spec for PGI compilers.
        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link), m4/libtool.m4
        (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS): New tag prelink_cmds, to be executed before

        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG) [linux]: Use for pgCC.
        (_LT_COMPILER_C_O): conftest might be nonempty, clean up more

        distribute.

2005-04-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Under certain circumstances, not all of the macro files were
        copied into the destination directory.  This changeset fixes
        that bug:

        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_serial_update):  Renamed local variable
        `my_update_p' to `my_serial_update_p', and initialise it correctly
        even when the destination file is not yet there.
        Reported by Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2005-04-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * tests/libtoolize.at: New tests for basic libtoolize
        functionality and reporting.
        * tests/testsuite.at: Call them.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Distribute them.

        * libtoolize.m4sh (pkgvdatadir): Renamed from this...
        (_lt_pkgvdatadir): ...to this.
        * tests/testsuite.at (LT_AT_LIBTOOLIZE): The `-I' option is no
        longer supported by libtoolize.  Set _lt_pkgvdatadir in the
        environment of the invocation instead.

2005-04-04  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/template.at: New Autotest tests for C++ with templates.
        First test provided by
        Markus Christen <markus@igc.phys.chem.ethz.ch>.
        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/testsuite.at: Use and distribute.

2005-04-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_serial_update): Replace missing
        destination serial calculation line, presumably lost due to a bad
        merge.

        * libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am: Removed actually.

2005-04-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Getting the value of ltdldatafiles from a submake was not
        portable, and had problems with GNU make-3.80 at least.  This
        changeset pulls the installation rules for libtoolize's copy of
        the libltdl sources out of libltdl/Makefile.am so that
        ltdldatafiles is defined in the same Makefile that uses it.  Also,
        this makes a start at cleaning up libltdl/Makefile.am so that it
        is useful in a package that uses `libtoolize --ltdl':

        * libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am: Removed entirely.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (dlopen.la, dld_link.la, dyld.la)
        (load_add_on.la, loadlibrary.la, shl_load.la): All built from here
        now that the loaders submake has gone.
        (show-ltdldatafiles): Removed.  No longer required.
        (ltdldatadir, ltdldatafiles, install-local): Moved from here...
        * Makefile.am (ltdldatadir, ltdldatafiles, install-local): ..to
        here.
        (libtoolize): Substitute $(ltdldatafiles) directly without calling
        make to get the value from libltdl/Makefile.

2005-04-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (libtoolize): Substitute $(nobase_pkgvdata_DATA).
        pkgvmacro_DATA is no longer set in the makefile.
        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_massage_pkgvmacro_DATA): Use it and, for
        consistency, renamed from this...
        (func_massage_nobase_pkgvdata_DATA): ...to this.  Adjust all
        callers.

2005-04-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Fix problems with serial comparison sed scripts, and factor out
        common code from similar serial comparison functions:

        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_keyword_update): Common code factored out
        of func_ltmain_update and func_config_update.
        (func_ltmain_update, func_config_update): Adjust, and fix sed
        expressions to not use unportable ? modifier.
        (func_install_update): New serial number based file updater keyed
        off 'scriptversion' variable in install-sh.  Adjust all callers.

2005-04-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Most of the hair introduced ostensibly to enable testing of
        uninstalled libtoolize isn't necessary if we allow overriding of
        the libtool master copy directory:

        * configure.ac (pkvmacrodir): No need to substitute this.
        * Makefile.am (edit): No need to substitute pkgvmacrodir.
        (dist_pkgvdata_DATA): Use nobase_ prefix so that these files are
        installed to $(pkgvdatadir)/config.
        (pkgvmacro_DATA): Renamed to...
        (nobase_pkgvdata_DATA): ...this, so that files are installed to
        $(pkgvdatadir)/m4.
        (install-data-hook): Adjust.
        * libtoolize.m4sh: Remove -I processing.
        (func_filename_path_search): No longer required without -I.
        Adjust all callers.
        (pkgvltdldirs, pkgvmacrodirs): Deleted.
        (pkgvdatadir): Allow overriding from the environment so that we
        can write tests for uninstalled libtoolize.
        (func_serial_update, func_ltmain_update, func_config_update):
        Rename srcdirs parameter to srcdir, and don't call the path_search
        function anymore.  Adjust all callers.
        (--install): Don't blindly copy all config files.

2005-04-01  Mike Stump  <mrs@apple.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_CMD_MAX_LEN) [netbsd, freebsd, openbsd
        darwin, dragonfly]: Use 3/4 of argmax, instead of 1/4.

2005-03-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG, _LT_LANG_RC_CONFIG):
        Set $cc_basename.

        * HACKING: echo vs $ECHO.

2005-03-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>  (tiny change)

        * doc/libtool.texi: Minor formatting cleanups.

2005-03-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Propogate --debug flag to sub-libtoolizes.

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Fix a typo, s/pkgvltdldirs/pkgvdatadirs/.
        When using -I to test an uninstalled libtoolize, we need to add
        the config subdirectory to the search path so that ltmain.sh can
        be found in the source tree.

        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_copy_some_files): IFS needs to be set to
        path delimiter for all inner loop iterations.
        Once a matching file has been copied, no need to keep searching
        the path for another -- move on to the next file!

        * libtoolize.m4sh: For verbose mode, explain why macro files are
        not installed without an AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR declaration.

2005-03-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        As a prerequisite for being able to test an uninstalled libtoolize
        for copying files correctly from the source tree, we must know
        exactly which files should be copied by the --ltdl option to avoid
        accidentally picking up compilation objects and other noise when
        $builddir == $srcdir:

        * libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am (ltdldatadir, ltdldatafiles)
        (install-data-local): Removed...
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (ltdldatafiles): ...and consolidated here.
        (show-ltdldatafiles): New rule...
        * Makefile.am (ltdldatafiles, libtoolize): ...used to substitute
        exactly which files are installed by libtoolize --ltdl.
        (edit): Move pkgvmacro_DATA substitution expression...
        (libtoolize): ...to here.
        * libtoolize.m4sh: Use func_copy_some_files() instead of
        func_copy_all_from_path() to copy the --ltdl option installed
        files.
        (pkgvltdldirs): New path variable to search for files installed by
        --ltdl option.
        (func_massage_pkgvltdl_files): New function to calculate the list
        of ltdl installation files.

2005-03-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>  (tiny change)

        * m4/libtool.m4, m4/ltdl.m4: Indentation and quoting cleanup.

2005-03-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [solaris]: Use ${wlarc}
        and set to empty when using $LD for linking.  Fixes regression
        introduced in 2004-11-17.

        In branch-2-0 (and in time, others) ltversion.m4 has a dot
        delimited serial number that didn't used to be processed
        correctly by libtoolize.  This changeset fixes that, and
        leverages those changes to check versions of ltmain.sh and
        config.sub, config.guess before overwriting when --force is
        not given:

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Don't overwrite pkgaux files with --force
        unless --install is given too.
        (func_serial): Fix underquoting in regexp.
        (func_serial_max): New function to compare serial numbers.
        (func_serial_update_check): New function factored out of
        func_serial_update().
        (func_serial_update): Bail if SRCFILE is missing.
        Don't display both 'already up to date' and 'use --force to
        update' messages for the same file.
        Use func_serial_max to cope with `.' delimited serial numbers.

2005-02-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        I assume that it is okay to have undefined symbols in convenience
        libraries that will be used as modules -- the pic objects are
        built normally, and are not expected to resolve all their symbols
        until they are linked into a library; convenience libraries are
        then rolled using 'ar' and 'ranlib' (or equivalent) which also do
        not check whether symbols are resolved.  We now build each of the
        loaders as a convenience library module under these assumptions,
        and link libltdl.la with selected modules, at which time all of
        the symbols *are* resolved:

        * TODO: Remove item addressed by this changeset.

        Preserving the installed timestamps for libltdl sources from
        `libtoolize --ltdl --copy' is pointless if they are not preserved
        from the libtool source tree at install time:

2005-02-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Using `libtoolize --copy --ltdl' was not preserving timestamps, so
        parts of the autoconf bootstrap would be rerun spuriously after
        the files had been copied into the source tree:

        * libtoolize.m4sh (TAR): New default tar command.

        $TAR to transfer files if possible when --copy was specified.

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS, _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG):
        Append -G to link command-line on AIX to honor -brtl on
        command-line (runtime linking). Already done for IBM C/C++

        * configure.ac: Fix aclocaldir to use ${datadir}, not ${prefix}.
        Necessary for removal of old libtool.m4 files.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Preserve -model [arg] option, used
        with the Tru64 UNIX C++ compiler. This option selects the
        layout of C++ classes, name mangling, and exception handling.

2004-12-09  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_finish) [solaris]: Fix [] escaping
        bug.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (all over the map): Make use of func_basename
        and func_dirname in most occasions.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CHECK_XSI_SHELL, _LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): New
        macros to detect at `configure' time whether the shell supports
        some XSI extensions and to copy appropriate versions of new shell
        functions into `libtool' through `config.status'.  Copied
        functions are Bourne and XSI variants of func_basename,
        func_dirname (a variant of `dirname' suitable for libtool).
        (_LT_SETUP): Require _LT_CHECK_XSI_SHELL.
        (_LT_CONFIG):  Use _LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS to insert into `libtool'
        at marker.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Set marker for insertion of shell functions.

        * config/general.m4sh (func_quote_for_eval): Only fork if the

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Remove code which is no longer needed
        now that temp_rpath only contains fully-qualified elements.

2004-11-30  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * config/general.m4sh: basename sed-subst is anchored and thus
        does not need the `g' flag.
        (func_quote_for_eval): Return both the possibly double-quoted
        backslashified as well as only the backslashified argument.
        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Use both return values,
        to save another sed_quote_subst application per cmdline arg.

2004-11-29  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_lalib_p): Update function
        description.
        (func_lalib_unsafe_p): New function with same functionality but
        written without forks; this function is safe to use for cases
        where the argument either does not exist or is required to be a
        lalib for correct operation.
        * NEWS: Mention the fact that stdin is not to be used.
        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_execute, func_mode_install)
        (func_mode_link): Use func_lalib_unsafe_p where appropriate.
        (func_mode_execute): For the program wrapper, use
        func_ltwrapper_p instead of func_lalib_p.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS): Treat linux-dietlibc with
        the `diet' compiler wrapper (as opposed to the `diet-dyn' wrapper)
        as a static-only platform.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (trim): Use memcpy instead of strncpy here, to
        avoid problems with non-conforming strncpy.  This is safe here.

        * m4/ltdl.m4 (LT_LIB_DLLOAD): Define HAVE_LIBDLLOADER if we
        have a dlloader to preload.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlinit): Only preload if HAVE_LIBDLLOADER, only
        declare preloaded_symbols then.  Fixes libltdl on static platforms.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-11-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Add a search path option to libtoolize so that we can run it from
        the testsuite without pulling in the last installed macros and
        ltdl sources:

        * libtoolize.m4sh:  Add a -I option to change libtoolize's search
        path for macro files, and libltdl master sources.
        (pkgvdatadir, pkgvmacrodir): Renamed...
        (pkgvdatadirs, pkgvmacrodirs): ...as they can now contain a ':'
        delimited list of directories.  Adjust all callers.
        (func_copy_all_from_path): New function to search a ':' delimited
        search path for a directory to copy.
        (func_serial_update, func_ltmain_update, func_config_update): New
        first parameter is a filename to search for.  srcdir parameter can
        now be a ':' delimited search path.  Adjust all callers.
        (func_copy_some_files): Ditto.
        Put srcfile_spec first in parameter list for consistency with
        other functions.  Adjust all callers.
        (func_copy_cb): func_copy adapter function to call func_copy
        correctly from func_copy_some_files.
        (func_filename_path_search): Return the full path to the first
        occurence of a named file found in a list of directories.
        * tests/testsuite.at (LIBTOOLIZE): Wrap exported LIBTOOLIZE
        initialisation in PREPARE_TESTS diversion to stop it being
        discarded when testsuite is generated.
        (AT_LIBTOOLIZE): Factor out libtoolize calls,
        and set search path to find macros and libltdl source files from
        the source tree.
        (AT_CHECK_LIBTOOLIZE): Test it.
        (AT_BOOTSTRAP): Adjust.  Split out call to make.
        * tests/am-subdir.at: Call make explicitly.
        (Makefile.am): Fix typo in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS,

2004-11-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): $dlsymsobj is really
        $symfileobj, bug exposed only in the static preloading case
        (symfileobj is created, but not linked into output).

        * tests/demo-relink.test, tests/depdemo-relink.test: SKIP, don't
        FAIL if no shared libs available in demo/.  Do not try to access
        nonexistent files.

        * libltdl/loaders/loadlibrary.c: Remove unneeded
        file-static variable.

2004-11-27  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Add fully-qualified paths to temp_rpath
        rather than unqualified paths in order to avoid possible errors

        If the user's login shell is something crazy like, oooh,
        /bin/tcsh, trying to execute bourne shell helper scripts with
        the `$SHELL /path/to/helper $helper_flags' idiom incase the
        execute bits were lost by say, eeer, cvs, is gonna blow up in
        our faces.  This changeset tries to save these people from
        their shells^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hmselves :->

        * tests/defs.m4sh (SHELL): Move definition from here...
        * config/general.m4sh (SHELL): ...to here.

2004-11-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        The ltdl.h header is the published interface to libltdl, and
        is thus not installed to $prefix/include/libltdl.  It has always
        been used with `#include <ltdl.h>', so move just that one file
        back to where it was before:

        * libltdl/libltdl/ltdl.h: Moved from here...
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: ...to here.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am: Adjust.

2004-11-23  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        Do not require that libtoolize --ltdl=/some/path end in libltdl.
        Move most libltdl headers to libltdl/libltdl to allow
        `#include <libltdl/ltdl.h>' to always work:

        * libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am: Look for includes
        in the new location.
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt__alloc.h, libltdl/libltdl/lt__dirent.h,
        libltdl/libltdl/lt__glibc.h, libltdl/libltdl/lt__private.h,
        libltdl/libltdl/lt_dlloader.h, libltdl/libltdl/lt_error.h,
        libltdl/libltdl/lt_system.h, libltdl/libltdl/ltdl.h,
        libltdl/libltdl/slist.h: Added files, moved from libtdl/.

        libltdl/lt__private.h, libltdl/lt_dlloader.h, libltdl/lt_error.h,
        libltdl/lt_system.h, libltdl/ltdl.h, libltdl/slist.h: Removed, moved
        to libltdl/libltdl.

        Sometimes, a wrapper script is generated for an executable that,
        itself, does not link against an uninstalled library.  It appears
        that this can happen if you are building a project where:

          (1) there is a library
          (2) there is an executable that does not, itself, link against
              that library

        In this case, notinst_deplibs is empty, and when the wrapper
        script is loaded by libtool during ./libtool mode=install, there
        is a check for "is notinst_deplibs empty".  In this case, it is,
        so libtool reports an error.

        I don't think it is wrong to have a wrapper script for an exe that
        *technically* doesn't need it.  But instead of checking for
        notinst_deplib nonempty as a proxy for "did wrapper script get
        sourced into my environment properly" a different var should be
        used.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_install): set new variable
        `generated_by_libtool_version' in wrapper script when using
        libtool_install_magic.  When verifying that wrapper script was
        properly sourced, check that `generated_by_libtool_version' is
        non-empty, instead of using notinst_deplibs.

        * tests/mdemo-dryrun.test: Adjust.

        * HACKING: Fix a typo in the gpg --verify instructions.

        * Makefile.maint (cvs-dist): Generate signatures and directives
        for bz2 upload.

2004-10-23  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Make Gary's new tests
        pass. When the output wrapper script is not in the current
        directory, we can not use an rpath which is relative to the
        current directory. Use an absolute path instead.

2004-10-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * clcommit.m4sh: Add --rcfile option.

        * clcommit.m4sh: Updated again, to support file list limited
        commits to CVS, and to fix another occurence of the bash bug
        that was preventing non-tla users from sending a commit mail.

2004-10-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * TODO, libltdl/lt_error.h, libltdl/ltdl.c, libltdl/ltdl.h:
        Undo accidental commit.

        * Makefile.maint: Fix typo.

2004-10-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * clcommit.m4sh, config/mailnotify.m4sh: Updated from
        cvs-utils--tla--1.0 to fix quoting of metachars in patch names.

        * HACKING: Updated: `.in' files are now `.m4sh'; document some
        more coding standards for these files.

        * config/general.m4sh (sed_double_backslash): Undo an
        over-optimisation.

2004-10-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * AUTHORS: Reformatted to better reflect the current state of
        Libtool maintainership.
        * THANKS: Reformatted to give maintainers a quick way to look
        up who has supplied FSF paperwork.

2004-10-21  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>,
            Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/general.m4sh (sed_double_backslash): Improve this sed
        expression to correct left anchored \$ input to
        double_quote_subst, as well as backslash escaped $ preceded by
        any odd-numbered amount of \ characters.

2004-10-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/general.m4sh (sed_double_backslash): New sed expression
        to escape \$ properly in combination with double_quote_subst.
        (func_quote_for_eval): Four space indent margin for functions!
        (func_quote_for_expand): Use $sed_double_backslash.
        (func_show_eval): New function that echos an escaped but variable
        expanded command, and then evaluates it.

2004-10-20  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>,
            Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (sed_quote_subst): Remove superfluous backslashes
        from the match character set.
        (double_quote_subst): Ditto.
        * config/general.m4sh (sed_quote_subst): Ditto.
        (double_quote_subst): New variable, copied from
        m4/libtool.m4. Much the same as sed_quote_subst, but variable
        references are not quoted.
        (func_quote_for_eval): Given any $foo; $bar and
        $foo must be identical after the following commands:
            func_quote_for_eval "$foo"
            eval "bar=$func_quote_for_eval_result"
        (func_quote_for_expand): In a similar vein to to func_quote_for_eval,
        except that variable expansions are not protected when quoting the
        command for subsequent display.
        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Factor away use of $sed_quote_subst now that
        it has been subsumed into func_quote_for_eval.
        (func_mode_link): Instead of `2004-10-14 Peter O'Gorman' below,
        use func_quote_for_expand so that ${wl} is expanded properly in
        the $show expression.

2004-10-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_finish): solaris-2.6 also has
        crle(1).
        Reported by Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>

2004-10-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Add some new tests for Libtool's support of Automake
        subdir-objects builds.  This marks the beginning of a move to an
        Autotest driven test framework, which will eventually allow us to
        trim away many of the generated files in the current test demo
        subdirectories:

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR): Re-enable commented out
        Autotest macros.
        (AUTOTEST, M4SH): Use --language long hand.
        * bootstrap: Generate tests/testsuite, and by implication
        tests/package.m4.
        * Makefile.am (edit): Add substitutions needed to generate
        tests/package.m4 from bootstrap.
        (check-recursive): Add tests/testsuite.
        (TESTSUITE): The new Autotest testsuite target.
        (TESTSUITE_AT): The Autotest sources.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute the generated testsuite and sources.
        (tests/package.m4): Use $(edit) to propagate package metadata to
        the new tests.
        (tests/testsuite): Build the testsuite.
        (tests/atconfig): How to regenerate the file.
        (check-local): Hook Autotest into `make check'.
        (installcheck-local): Run the testsuite on the installed tree.
        (clean-local): Tidy our file droppings.
        * tests/Makefile.am: Remove bitrotted code from Autotest
        experiments in Autoconf 2.52 era.  Updated the rest and moved into
        Makefile.am.
        * tests/testsuite.at: New container for Autotest test groups.
        * tests/am-subdir.at: New test group for compatibility with
        Automake's subdir-objects builds.  Currently holds two tests, one
        for a C project and another similar project in C++.
        * TODO: Add an entry to remind us that these new tests expose a
        bug in libtool.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-10-14  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Revert most of my last commit, only eval
        \$show \"$cmds\", and only when building a library. I'm a wimp.
        Thanks Gary for pointing out errors in previous commit.

2004-10-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_finish): Mention crle(1) on
        solaris 2.7 and higher in the finalisation notes.
        Reported by Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@pix.net>

        * tests/cdemo-undef.test: New test for hosts that allow shared
        libraries with undefined symbols, but have no C++ compiler
        installed.
        * tests/Makefile.am (COMMON_TESTS): Add it.

2004-10-13  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Make sure that we $show what we will $run,
        use eval $show if we do $run eval.

2004-10-13  Charles Wilson  <spam.protected>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: add foo/bin for every foo/lib
        in dllsearchpath when creating wrapper script.  Fixes
        depdemo-relink test failure.

2004-10-12  Charles Wilson  <spam.protected>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): don't relink
        on cygwin/mingw; no need.  But do ensure that wrappers
        are created unless doing a purely static build.

2004-10-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * tests/tagdemo-undef.test: New test for hosts that allow shared
        libraries with undefined symbols.
        * tests/Makefile.am (CXX_TESTS): Add it.

2004-10-11  Charles Wilson  <spam.protected>

        * tests/link.test: Fix check for use of libnlsut.a under
        Cygwin.

2004-10-11  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>

        * tests/quote.test: Do not look for $preargs in the output,
        because libtool may change them.

2004-10-10  Charles Wilson  <spam.protected>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Really don't require versions of GNU
        sed newer than 3.02 for Cygwin and MinGW, and don't break
        dryrun mode.

2004-10-10  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * config/getopt.m4sh: Under MinGW, reported paths may include ':'
        so ':' should not be used as the sed delimiter.  Use '*' instead
        since it is very unlikely to appear in a path.

2004-10-10  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Don't require versions of GNU sed newer than
        3.02 for Cygwin and MinGW.

2004-10-10  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * tests/pdemo-inst.test: Correction for mis-application of
        Charles Wilson's earlier patch.

2004-10-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LANG_F77_CONFIG): Make sure the save and
        restore code for CC is nested at the same depth.
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Ditto, but for several variables.

2004-10-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Update to the latest commit and mailnotify scripts from
        gary@gnu.org--2004/cvs-utils--tla--1.0:

        * commit, config/mailnotify: Removed.  Now built from...
        * clcommit.m4sh, config/mailnotify.m4sh: ...these new sources.
        * Makefile.maint (commit, config/mailnotify): How to build them.
        * bootstrap: If we have a checked out tree (i.e. clcommit.m4sh
        is present), then build them.

2004-10-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Fix some issues that mangled the reexecution path to a script,
        and thus prevented it from finding itself:

        * config/general.m4sh (progname): Don't actually change the name
        of the script if it begins with a `-', just prepend `./'.
        (progpath): Add a new clause that first searches the execution
        PATH, and then finally assumes this script is in the current
        working directory if $progname has no directory separators (e.g
        when invoked as `$SHELL progname').

2004-10-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/general.m4sh (func_verbose): Work around a bash bug in
        shell functions.

2004-10-08  Charles Wilson  <cygwin@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        * tests/pdemo-inst.test: pdemo-inst should depend on pdemo-make.
        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Windows and Cygwin reserve the .lnk
        extension to represent shortcuts.  Use the extension ".lnkscript"
        rather than ".lnk" for the piecewise linking ld script in order to
        avoid the conflict.

2004-10-07  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit, lt_dlpath_insertdir): Fix memleaks,
        free user_search_path on lt_dlexit.

2004-10-07  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/sh.test: Remove tests which fail on AS_SHELL_SANITIZE
        from autoconf >= 2.59.

        * TODO: Remove item: no need for a libltdl without stdio.

2004-10-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * tests/defs.m4sh (scripts): Actually scan the generated ltmain.sh
        for shell portability problems.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_FORMAT_COMMENT): Shell meta-characters in
        _LT_DECL descriptions were not being escaped before injection into
        TAG CONFIG here documents in config.status.

2004-10-06  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_CXX, _LT_PROG_F77): New macros to work
        around the deficiencies in AC_PROG_CXX and AC_PROG_F77.
        * configure.ac: Cleaned up, having moved the checks for compilers
        which do not exist to libtool.m4.

2004-10-05  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (try_dlopen): Move .la file parsing
        part.. (parse_dotla_file): ..here.  Adjust.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (load_deplibs, try_dlopen): Revert unnecessary casts
        to int from my patch from 2004-10-01.

        * AUTHORS: Add myself.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh [darwin]: Make the -dylib_file flag work on
        older darwins too. Reported by Christoph Egger.

2004-10-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * configure.ac: Bumped version to 2.1a.

2004-10-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_ECHO_BACKSLASH): Don't confuse $ECHO
        with $lt_ECHO, or we always get a libtool with ECHO=echo, rather
        than testing for a mechanism that quotes \ properly.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * config/ltmain.m4sh: Need to include getopt.m4sh earlier so that
        progpath is set before it is called to --no-reexec.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-10-04  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Without this change, the distributed libtool tarball has a
        dependency on autom4te.  There was some inconsistency in the
        filenames: now we have foo.m4sh -> m4sh -> foo.in -> configure
        -> foo[.sh].  Bootstrap runs the m4sh steps and the resulting .in
        files are distributed:

        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute defs.m4sh.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Distribute libtoolize.m4sh.
        (libtoolize.in, libtoolize): Split into bootstrap and runtime
        stages.
        ($(top_srcdir)/tests/defs.in, $(top_srcdir)/tests/defs): Ditto.
        ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Swap ltmain.m4sh and ltmain.in
        names.
        * bootstrap: Make libtoolize.in and tests/defs.in.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-10-03  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * README, README.alpha: Update notes regarding available VERBOSE
        settings.

2004-10-03  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * config/ltmain.in: Change $XSED to $Xsed to fix hang noticed
        under MinGW.
        * tests/defs.in: Support VERBOSE=debug to enable shell tracing
        while running tests.

2004-10-03  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * NEWS: Updated.
        * configure.ac: Bumped version to 1.9e.

        * configure.ac: Bumped version to 1.9d.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * libltdl/lt__alloc.h (lt__alloc_die): Declare with LT_SCOPE as
        per Ralf's original patch.
        Reported by Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdlc_la_LIBADD): Don't use
        libdlloader_la_OBJECTS, an undocumented Automake internal
        variable...
        (libltdlc_la_SOURCES): ...use libdlloader_la_SOURCES here
        instead.
        Reported by Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * libltdl/argz_.h: Forgot to spell lt_system.h with just one `_'.

        * libltdl/argz_.h: Forgot to include lt__system.h for LT_SCOPE
        definition.

2004-10-03  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>,
            Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/lt__alloc.h: Declare exported functions with LT_SCOPE
        for mingw32.
        * libltdl/lt__dirent.h: Ditto.
        * libltdl/argz._h: Ditto.  Be careful about not requiring
        additional libltdl files when used outside of libltdl.
        * libltdl/slist.h: Ditto.
        * HACKING: Add a section on libltdl implementation layering.

2004-10-03  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * tests/quote.test: echo is called ECHO now.  Make sure we extract
        the value of ECHO from the libtool script.
        Reported by Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

2004-10-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (hardcode_shlibpath_var) [darwin7*]: Revert my
        hack from 2004-09-30 now that I've removed /lib/hello.la and the
        tests work properly for me again.

2004-10-02  Jim Tison  <jtison@us.ibm.com>

        Initial support for s390x-ibm-tpf:

        * m4/libtool.m4: Correct obvious spelling errors in remarks.
        (_LT_ENABLE_LOCK): Make s390x-ibm-tpf hosts adopt elf64_s390
        conventions.
        (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Set defaults for s390x-ibm-tpf host.
        (_LT_CHECK_MAGIC_METHOD): Skip all dependency checks for
        s390x-ibm-tpf hosts.
        (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS): Make s390x-ibm-tpf hosts adopt GNU/Linux OS
        attributes.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-10-01  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * config/ltmain.in (func_mode_install): Need to set $tmpdir before
        using it.

        * config/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Fix quoting bug.  Fixes
        e.g. the quoting of the -export-symbols-regex argument in .la
        files' relink_command.

        * libltdl/lt__alloc.c (lt__memdup): Allocation can fail, so we
        need to guard against null pointer dereference here.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlcaller_register): Ditto.

        * libltdl/slist.c (slist_foreach): result was declared as
        inner variable, shadowing the actually returned value.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (load_deplibs, try_dlopen): Cast argument
        to isspace/isalnum to the correct range.  Also, cast to int to
        avoid compiler warnings.

2004-09-30  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (try_dlopen): Fix null pointer dereference in
        case the name given to lt_dlopen contains no extension.

        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.c (lt_dlloader_remove), libltdl/ltdl.c
        (tryall_dlopen, lt_dlhandle_next): Show usage of function pointers.

        * doc/libtool.texi (LT_INIT, Using libltdl)
        (Module loaders for libltdl, Multiple dependencies)
        (libtool script contents): Fix several typos (trivial change).
        Also, libltdl consists of more than two small files.

2004-09-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (hardcode_shlibpath_var) [darwin7]: My Panther
        workstation doesn't hardcode the shared library path, although it
        used to, so this is more likely a function of the binutils and/or
        gcc I am using at the moment.  The hardcode value setting code for
        the configure script sucks at the moment though...
        * TODO: ...and needs to do a test compile instead of a table
        lookup before 2.0 final.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (echo): Use ECHO throughout for consistency with
        config/ltmain.in.
        Reported by Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (rm): Use RM throughout for consistency with
        config/ltmain.in.
        Reported by Charles Wilson <cwilson@spam.protected>

2004-09-27  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG) [darwin]: Don't echo gcc -v
        output during configure. (Really this time, honest)

2004-09-26  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [aix]: In archive_expsym_cmds,
        move -bnoentry linker option before $compiler_flags to honor any
        possible -e entries in LDFLAGS.

2004-09-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): When linking an installed
        libtool library on the command line using -lfoo we need to find
        the library in the search paths and add it's dependency_libs to
        the link in the conv pass so that any libtool libs listed are
        correctly expanded in the link pass.

2004-09-24  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@spam.protected>

        (ECHO): Audit for (and correct!) uses of $ECHO with more than one
        argument, which breaks when ECHO='printf %s\n', and with possible
        `-' as first character of the argument, which breaks `print -r'
        and some implementations of `echo'.

        Since defs can change (path to grep for example) when it is made
        for a different host, it can't be shipped.  That also means that
        defs will always be generated in the build tree, so each test case
        can have the srcdir discovery factored away into tests/defs.in:

        or not.

2004-09-22  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        The dlpreopen pass over libraries reverses the elements in the
        $deplibs list.  This causes problems when the link pass tries to
        find libraries when they are located in non-standard places
        denoted by -L options.  Due to the reversed order these -L options
        occur after the libraries that need them, and they are not found:

        * config/ltmain.in: (Un)Reverse $deplibs list at the start of the
        link pass in lib mode.

2004-09-22  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@spam.protected>

        * ltmain.in (func_generate_dlsyms) [cygwin, mingw]: when creating
        a .exp file for an executable, also create a .def file, and add
        that file to the link command via SYMFILES.  This causes binutils
        to generate an .edata section, and allows self dlopening to work.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): better quoting for
        postinstall_cmds and postuninstall_cmds to allow spaces in install
        paths.

        * config/ltmain.in (func_generate_dlsyms): Addresses in
        _preloaded_symbols[] cannot go into .rdata section if symbols are
        DATA imported from DLL, on windows, because runtime relocations
        must happen.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS([TAGNAME])): Build exports for
        symbols in .rdata sections.

2004-09-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        The checks in assign.test are trying to catch case of this ilk:
        `foo=bar break', but unfortunately they also choke on `foo=bar;
        break' and `foo=bar && break'.  Writing a sophisticated test to
        catch just the intended case seems like more trouble than it's
        worth, but leaving the test in causes the testsuite to fail on
        valid m4sh output:

        * tests/assign.test: Removed; chokes on perfectly valid shell
        syntax.
        * tests/Makefile.am (COMMON_TESTS): Remove assign.test.
        * tests/defs.in (scripts): Don't check the m4sh inputs, go back
        to checking the generated ltmain.sh script.

2004-09-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.in (func_echo): Except for multi-line warnings and
        errors, always use func_echo.  $show is for command output, and
        $echo is for internal use in backtick expressions and similar.

2004-09-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Missed a couple of MKDIR_P references in ltmain.in in my last
        patch; fix them carefully.  Introduce an opt_dry_run to ltmain.in
        so that the implementations of func_mkdir_p can converge, and a
        func_mktempdir to do a better job of temporary directory creation:

        * libtoolize.in (func_mkdir_p): Don't fail if the directory wasn't
        created in dry run mode.
        * tests/defs (func_mkdir_p): Ditto.  We don't actually have a dry
        run mode for the tests, but the function is written carefully to
        be kept in synch and work correctly here too.
        * config/ltmain.in (func_mkdir_p): Ditto.  This copy of the
        function now only differs in its use of $echo over $ECHO.
        (func_extract_archive): Removed first redundant mkdir call.
        (func_mktempdir): New function that tries to avoid races when
        making temporary directories.
        (opt_dry_run): Set this if --dry-run is given at the CLI, or if
        tests/mdemo-dryrun.test has forced the value of $run.
        (func_mode_install): Call $MKDIR directly and error out if the
        directory cannot be created.
        (func_mode_link): Rather than copying func_mkdir_p into the
        wrapper script as a replacement for $MKDIR_P, we know that the
        script won't be called my `make -j', so write the current value of
        $MKDIR.

        * m4/libtool.m4: remove an extra "]"

        * m4/libtool.m4 [darwin] (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Changes for 10.4.
        * config/libtool.in [darwin]: ditto.

2004-09-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        My most recent `2004-09-02 Gary V. Vaughan' patch for mkdir_p
        below is horrendously broken since it makes the installed libtool
        try to run the mkinstalldirs or install-sh helper scripts.  This
        patch fixes the `make -j' mkdir race condition internally:

        * libtoolize.in (func_mkdir_p): New slice and dice algorithm
        to build the directory tree one dir at a time, ignoring errors
        until the end incase they are transient due to a concurrent
        identical mkdir.
        * tests/defs (func_mkdir_p): Ditto.
        * config/ltmain.in (func_mkdir_p): Ditto, except that ltmain.in
        uses $echo rather than $ECHO, and uses $show and $run to interact
        correctly with the command line.
        * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): 1.8 is sufficient again.
        * Makefile.am (edit): Don't substitute automake's $(mkdir_p).
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-09-15  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * libltdl/loaders/loadlibrary.c: Compilation fixes (originally
        from Gary V. Vaughan) to compile under MinGW.
        * config/mkstamp: Translate input data so that it is assured to
        use the Unix line terminations. This is necessary under Windows if
        the files are checked out with CR/NL line terminations. A
        side-effect of this change is that input must always be from
        stdin. Previously a filename argument was accepted as well.

2004-09-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/Makefile.am: Use the same CPP, F77, CXX and CXXFLAGS
        for the test suite.

2004-09-15  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_ENABLE_LOCK):Replace AC_TRY_LINK with
        AC_LINK_IFELSE to get rid of `autoconf -Wobsolete' warning.
        * m4/ltdl.m4 (LT_LIB_DLLOAD): Ditto.

2004-09-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.in (func_quote_for_eval): Set a return value to
        avoid forking at every call.  Changed all callers.
        (func_mode_link): Simplified, and removed the final non-portable
        nested escaped double quotes in back quotes usage in the process.

2004-09-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.in (func_quote_for_eval): Factor out the ugly
        shell meta-character quoting.  Changed all callers.

2004-09-14  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): Simplification:
        distinguish between data and code symbols on every system.

2004-09-14  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        Unfortunately, libtool has no way of telling if unrecognized
        compiler flags need an argument or not, and can disect options and
        pass parts through incorrectly.  This changeset reverts both
        2004-09-06 Albert Chin-A-Young (topmost) and 2004-09-05 Albert
        Chin-A-Young below, and recognises more options explicitly:

        * config/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Pass through options needed
        to compile in 64-bit mode with gcc, and the SGI, Sun, HP and IBM
        compilers.

2004-09-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBALS_SYMBOLS): Fix a typo I made when
        applying 2004-09-11 Ralf Wildenhues.

2004-09-12  Brad  <brad@comstyle.com>

        * libtool.m4: Fixes for the OpenBSD support

2004-09-12  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        Our fortran tests were not very good. All the libraries created
        were convenience libs, so we did not test the creation of shared
        libraries on any platform. Also none of the libs used any actual
        fortran library calls, adding a call to write(*,*) in each lib
        causes the tests to fail on darwin (and presumably other platforms).
        These new tests would likely cause many more fortran test failures,
        so if there is an error during make it is reported as SKIP.

        * tests/f77demo-make.test: Don't fail hard, skip on failure.
        * tests/f77demo/foof2.f: New file.
        * tests/f77demo/foof3.f: New file.
        * tests/f77demo/fprogram.f: Call routine in new lib.
        * tests/f77demo/foof.f: Call routine in another new lib.
        * tests/f77demo/Makefile.am: Make a couple of new libraries, add
        $(FLIBS) to cprogram LDADD.

2004-09-06  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        Hopefully, passing unrecognised compiler arguments through
        unmolested will prove to be a good plan for the 2.0 release.  If
        it goes awry, we can get back to where we were by reverting this
        patch and the 2004-09-05 Albert Chin-A-Young patch, aka
        gary@gnu.org--2004/libtool--devo--1.0--patch-169,172:

        * config/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Because we now pass through
        compiler arguments we doesn't recognize, the code to pass
        through GCC's -m* arguments is not needed.

2004-09-06  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * Makefile.am (clean-ltmain-sh): Using '==' to test for equality
        in a shell script is not portable. Use '=' instead.

2004-09-05  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

        * m4/ltdl.m4 (LT_WITH_LTDL): Remove excess quoting in argument of
        AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS.

2004-09-05  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * config/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Pass otherwise unrecognised +
        and - style switches to the compiler.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-09-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (libtool): Force libtool to be regenerated if

2004-09-05  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4, config/ltmain.in: When calling $LTCC,

2004-09-03  David Edelsohn  <dje@watson.ibm.com>

        * config/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Use $pic_object as

2004-09-03  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * bootstrap: Remember that the ltmain.sh generated by bootstrap

        From Martin Quinson <mquinson@ens-lyon.fr>
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SETUP, _LT_ENABLE_LOCK, LT_PATH_LD): Use

        Builds of packages that use libtool and make -j produce "directory
        already exists warnings" for .lib directory.  Build on automake
        wisdom to support make -j builds where a suitable mkdir is
        available:

        * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require 1.9, which goes to some
        trouble to find a $(mkdir_p) that doesn't interfere with make -j.
        * Makefile.am (edit): Substitute for @mkdir_p@.
        * config/ltmain.in (MKDIR_P): Take @mkdir_p@ value.
        (mkdir): Removed.
        (func_mkdir_p): New function to use $MKDIR_P.  Factor out all
        previous mkdir calls to use this function.
        (RM, MV): Declared as in libtoolize.in.  Changed all callers.
        * libtoolize.in (MKDIR_P): Take @mkdir_p@ value from automake.
        (func_mkdir_p): Use it, similarly to new config/ltmain.in.
        * tests/defs: Synchronize boiler plate code with ltmain.in.
        Adjust all callers.
        Add missing copyright preamble.

        * libltdl/slist.c, libltdl/slist.h: Merge in changes from latest
        upstream.  Mostly comments, formal item boxing, a sort function,
        and const madness reduction.
        (slist_new): Removed.
        (slist_box, slist_unbox, slist_sort): New.
        (SListCompare, SListCallback): Swapped!
        (slist_remove, slist_find): Change order of parameters for
        orthogonality with slist_foreach.  Changed all callers.
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.c (loader_cmp): Renamed to...
        (loader_callback): ...this.  Return boxed item.
        (lt_dlloader_remove): Adjust to new loader_callback semantics;
        unbox each removed item before returning.
        Remove unused variable.
        Remove const from name parameter, since the slist API cannot
        guarantee userdata const-ancy for its callback functions.
        (lt_dlloader_find): Adjust to new loader_callback semantics; need
        to return the contents of the boxed item.
        Remove const from name parameter, since the slist API cannot
        guarantee userdata const-ancy for its callback functions.
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_dlloader_find, lt_dlloader_remove):
        Adjust to new constless footprint.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (ltdl_exit): The global `loaders' list is changed
        by `lt_dlloader_remove' while cleaning up, so the address in local
        variable `loader' is invalidated.  Since some loaders may be
        resident modules that cannot be unloaded (though we have none
        yet), we must save each `next' address before calling
        `lt_dlloader_remove'.
        * NEWS: Updated.
        * THANKS: Added Ralf.

        * tests/defs: Put a full m4sh.m4 style 'Be Bourne compatible'
        preamble in here too.
        * HACKING: Note that tests/defs needs synching with m4sh.m4 too.
        * TODO: Add new item.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (try_dlopen, lt_dlforeachfile): Use correct cpp
        macro name, LT_DLSEARCH_PATH.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit, tryall_dlopen): Fix gcc parentheses
        warning.

2004-09-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Don't use C99 flexible array types as we want to be C89
        compatible.  Instead, revert to the old way of doing things with
        an array of symbol name vs. address, and adding the originator as
        the first symbol but with a NULL address:

        * config/ltmain.in (func_extract_dlsyms): Store originator as a
        NULL address symbol.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlsymbol): Removed.
        (lt_dlsymlist): Remove originator field.
        (LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): Adjust.
        * libltdl/loaders/preopen.c (vm_open, lt_dlpreload_open): Adjust
        for new types.
        (vm_sym): Skip the new originator symbol when scanning symbol
        names.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): Adjust preloaded symbols
        test file to match.
        * NEWS: Updated.
        Reported by Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>

2004-09-01  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Libtool currently assumes that certain characteristics, such as
        enable_shared, apply to the host architecture rather than per-
        language.  Running the tests over a broken compiler can corrupt
        these values, when there is no C++ compiler for example, so we
        skip most of the tests in those cases.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): If caught_CXX_compiler was
        set from configure.ac, then don't run all the compiler tests.
        (_LT_LANG_F77_CONFIG): Similarly for caught_F77_compiler.

2004-08-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (clean-ltmain-sh): Remove stale config/ltmain.sh
        from the build tree that were left behind by previous versions of
        libtool.
        ($top_srcdir)/stamp-vcl: Since this rule is already called on
        every invocation of make, hook clean-ltmain-sh in here too.
        Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

2004-08-31  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * bootstrap: Update warning message to reflect having split
        libtool.m4 into several files.
        Also, add config/ltmain.sh to list of stale files from previous
        versions to be removed before bootstrap.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Replace strdup with lt__strdup.

2004-08-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.in: Double quote even $# for the sake of sh.test.
        (exec_cmd): Be careful about "`\"foo\"`" quoting, even in comments
        to avoid triggering the tests in sh.test.

        * configure.ac:  Because of the way the autoconf C++ testing
        works, we need to call the C test first to work in an environment
        that has no C++ compiler.

        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.c (lt_dlloader_remove): Since the return
        value of this function is often passed to free, don't declare it
        `const'. Responsibility for this memory is given back to the
        caller on return.
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_dlloader_remove): Ditto.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit): Adjust.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * INSTALL, config/config.guess, config/config.sub,
        config/texinfo.tex: Updated from canonical source.
        * Makefile.maint, HACKING: Update instructions for releasing in a
        VPATH build.

        * Makefile.am (dist-hook): Only run if README-alpha exists.
        * README.alpha: Renamed from README-alpha to stop automake from
        automatically adding it to DIST_COMMON.

        * NEWS: Merge changes from branch-1-5.

        * Makefile.am (dist-hook): Always distribute just a README file,
        but take its contents from README-alpha for alpha releases.

        * TODO: Reformat.  Removed some items that have been implemented.

2004-08-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Add a new `-weak' flag to tell libtool when not to propogate
        dependency libraries from dlpreopened modules to libraries:

        * config/ltmain.in: Support new -weak link mode option.  Adjust
        help message.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdlc_la_LDFLAGS): Use it.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Linking with dlopened modules): Document it.
        (Link mode): Mention -weak.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-08-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.in (opt_help): Defer showing help messages until
        after a possible following --mode argument has been parsed, so we
        can handle `libtool --help --mode=foo'.

2004-08-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        We have had shell functions in ltmain.in for a few years without
        complaint now, and recently a few more have crept in.  Make a
        start at refactoring the code with shell functions, and
        standardising on option parsing style:

        * config/ltmain.in (func_echo, func_verbose, func_error)
        (func_fatal_error, func_fatal_help, func_missing_arg)
        (func_version, func_usage, func_help): Boiler plate shell
        functions mostly copied from libtoolize.in.  Changed *lots* of
        shell snippets to call these functions as appropriate, rather than
        inlining the same code over and over.
        (func_config, func_features, func_enable_tag, func_mode_help):
        Factored out from the shared option parsing loop.  Write a new
        shared option parser based on the one in libtoolize.in.
        (func_check_version_match): Factored out from global scope.
        (func_mode_compile, func_mode_execute, func_mode_finish)
        (func_mode_install, func_mode_link, func_mode_uninstall): Break
        each of the top level mode handlers out into a function.  Adjust
        main loop.
        (modename, prevopt, prev, optarg, show_help): Removed in the
        course of cleaning up the shared option parser.
        (opt_duplicate_deps): Use `:' and `false' instead of `yes' and `',
        so we can run it directly, rather than calling test.

2004-08-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        To help users submit better bug reports, improve the general
        instructions, and provide additional useful info alongside the bug
        reporting address in --help output:

        * Makefile.am (edit): Substitute $host_triplet.
        * libtoolize.in: Output useful debug info with --help.
        * config/ltmain.in: Ditto.
        * README: Rewritten.  Added copyright info.
        * README-alpha: Rewritten.  Added copyright info.
        * HACKING: New file, partly taken from old README-alpha.

2004-08-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Two things to stop `make distcheck' from trying to rebuild
        distributed files (m4/ltversion.m4 and config/ltmain.in) in the
        readonly source tree:

        * Makefile.am (stamp-vcl): Keep only one copy of stamp-vcl; in
        $(top_srcdir), so that an up-to-date version is rolled into the
        dist tarball even from a VPATH build.
        ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Don't depend on Makefile,
        otherwise ltmain.sh needs to be rebuilt after every config.status
        run, and then configure needs to be rebuilt, and it all goes
        horribly wrong :-/  Unfortunately, we can't depend on Makefile.am
        either, because that is a circular dependency.  The downside of
        this change is that it is now possible to edit Makefile.am to
        change the way ltmain.sh is generated, and the dependency
        information can't tell that ltmain.sh needs regenerating.

2004-08-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Cheap tricks): Escape the `@' for texinfo.

2004-08-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Cheap tricks): Fix the instructions for making
        a ltmain.in wrapping libtool in light of recent changes to the
        version checking code.

2004-08-26  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * config/ltmain.in [darwin]: Use the -dylib_file flag and avoid
        linking to so many libraries on darwin.

        * m4/libtool.m4 [darwin]: Don't use a libname triplet, a couplet
        is perfectly fine.

        * m4/ltdl.m4: Don't use the dyld loader on darwin 8 or later.

2004-08-25  Paolo Bonzini  <bonzini@gnu.org>

        * config/ltmain.in (piecewise linking): Use a GNU ld script if
        possible.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS): Add per-tag variable
        with_gnu_ld.
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Don't set unused variable with_gnu_ldcxx.

2004-08-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        The Grand Renaming.  In preparation for libtool-2.0, move all of
        the many and varied m4 symbols accumulated by libtool over the
        years, considering also that modern autoconf can detect unexpanded
        macros even without AC in the macro name:

        * bootstrap: Remove libltdl/config.h from previous releases.

        ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Use it.
        (libtoolize): Ditto.

        $(MKSTAMP) before changing directories, or it won't be found.
        Forgot to save before my last commit :-(

        * Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/m4/ltversion.m4): Since we already did
        `cd $(top_srcdir)' for this rule, we can't mv ltversion.tmp to the
        relative $(top_srcdir) again!  Also, run $(MKSTAMP) before changing
        directories, or it won't be found.
        ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Ditto.
        (EXTRA_DIST): We should distribute ltversion.m4 too.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN): Since CONFIG_SHELL may
        not actually be set, we should use SHELL here, also make darn sure
        that SHELL is set to something. Bug from Willem Jan Palenstijn
        <wpalenst@math.leidenuniv.nl>.

2004-08-03  Jacob Meuser  <jakemsr@jakemsr.com>

        * ltmain.in: Allow some static libraries to be used in generating a
        shared library on NetBSD and OpenBSD. match-pattern_regex decides
        which are good.

2004-08-02  Geoffrey Keating  <geoffk@apple.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 [darwin]: Don't use -all_load.

2004-08-01  Maciej W. Rozycki  <macro@linux-mips.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_AC_PROG_SED): Set SED when running from cache as
        well.

2004-07-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Although libtool is optimised to not need to subconfigure libltdl,
        the installed libltdl sources for libtoolize need to put
        libltdl/configure.ac in the parent package so that *it* can
        subconfigure libltdl.  That way we don't put any constraints on
        the build system used by the parent package because the
        libtoolized libltdl subtree is a self-contained sub-project:

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add configure.ac.
        (nobase_ltdldata_DATA): Change back to libltdl's own
        configure.ac.

2004-07-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        My thanks to Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@gnu.org> for the insight
        required to write this changeset -- especially that ltmain.sh is
        the same on any machine for a given release, which I hadn't
        noticed for some bizarre reason: It turns out that generating
        distributed files from configure causes no end of hassle, as
        evidenced by the many patches I've generated over the last few
        days to try and get the dist and distcheck make rules to work.
        Instead of all that hair, we now simply generate our distributed
        files (now including ltmain.sh) with make rules -- and since
        automake creates make variables for all AC_SUBSTs, that is really
        easy.  The code looks a lot more like automake and autoconf
        Makefile.ams now, and doesn't have all the rough edges the earlier
        hacky solution suffered from.  We still generate libtool from
        config.status, but that is not a distributed file, and doesn't
        break the golden rule.  Besides, there is way more going on there
        than a bunch of substitutions:

        * Makefile.am (edit): New common sed substitutions for files now
        generated by make instead of config.status.
        (CLEANFILES): Clean new tmp files.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Add ltmain.sh.
        (vcl-tmp): Reinstated.
        (m4/ltversion.m4, config/ltmain.sh): New rules.  Generate from
        here instead of config.status.
        (libtoolize): Ditto.
        (libtool): Call config.status to regenerate if necessary.
        (dist-hook): Removed.
        * config/ltmain.in: Moved here from top_srcdir.
        * README-alpha: Update instructions to check AS_SHELL_SANITIZE is
        up to date.
        * bootstrap: Rewritten.  Generate m4/ltversion.m4 and
        config/ltmain.sh because configure depends on them.
        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR): Use libtoolize.in now that
        ltmain.in has moved.
        (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Don't generate distributed files,
        config/ltmain.sh and libtoolize from config.status.  We have make
        rules to do that now.

2004-07-30  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4, ltmain.in: readd the comments that I erased.

        * ltmain.in [darwin]: We already had a module var, there can be
        only one.

        * m4/libtool.m4, ltmain.in: autoconf now says the best thing to do
        with CDPATH is to (unset CDPATH) >/dev/null 2>&1 && unset CDPATH,
        so do it.

2004-07-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Ugh. More hair to
        help `make distcheck'; not only do we have to make a copy of
        ltmain.sh available in the source tree, but we have to be really
        careful about permission bit twiddling when we copy it across into
        the possible read-only $(top_srcdir)/config directory!

        * tests/tagtrace.test: Skip this test when running a VPATH build
        against a read-only source tree (as in distcheck for example),
        since autoconf wants to write temporary files in $top_srcdir
        otherwise.

        * Makefile.am ($(top_srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): Automake assumes,
        quite rightly for every project except libtool, that there will be
        an ltmain.sh in the source tree.
        (EXTRA_DIST): As do the dist rules it generates.
        (dist-hook): Even though we definitely don't want to distribute
        our local ltmain.sh.

        * config/config.guess, config/config.sub: Don't check these in,
        they cause spurious conflicts on cvs commit and update, and are
        added by bootstrap in any case.

        * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Revert an accidental commit from my
        testing of package_revision.

2004-07-29  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Tags): Document CC.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SETUP): Register CC as supported tag so that
        Automake uses it.

2004-07-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Fix a long-standing bug where macro_version was always empty in
        the generated m4/ltversion.m4.  Except for CVS revisions:

        * ltmain.in (package_revision): Don't try to deduce it from
        TIMESTAMP, since that is empty for release versions; simply
        substitute it...
        * configure.ac (package_revision): ...from here, having
        precalculated it before resetting TIMESTAMP for release versions.
        * bootstrap: Force regeneration of m4/ltversion.m4, but retain
        timestamps if there is no change to the content.

2004-07-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        To take full advantage of this, libtool must be bootstrapped with
        CVS autoconf, otherwise pdksh chokes on some nested escaped quotes
        from libtool.m4.  Using CVS autoconf protects configure from
        non-bourne compatible shells in the same way this changeset
        protects libtool and libtoolize:

        * libtoolize.in: Include latest CVS autoconf AS_SHELL_SANITIZE
        expansion to make various shells fully bourne compatible.
        * ltmain.in: Ditto.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_PATH_TOOL_PREFIX): Remove spurious quotes, the
        RHS of = assignment is not IFS split.
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Ditto.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_POSTDEP_PREDEP): Ditto.

2004-07-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        This change fixes another VPATH build bug, where the vcl.tmp
        target forced a rebuild of stamp-vcl in the build tree (and
        hence regeneration of m4/ltversion.m4, thus an automake driven
        rebootstrap that doesn't know about $fakes) requiring a fresh
        ./bootstrap after every cvs/tla update:

        * Makefile.am (vcl.tmp): Removed.
        (stamp-vcl): Adopt former vcl.tmp target rules.

2004-07-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in: Make sure that dependency libraries of -dlpreopened
        libraries are propogated properly.

2004-07-23  Joe Orton  <joe@manyfish.co.uk>

        * libtool.m4: Treat bsdi5* like bsdi4*.

2004-07-22  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * ltmain.in [darwin](func_extract_archives): $SED not sed.

        * ltmain.in [darwin](func_extract_archives): Clean up last commit
        a little, some suggestions are from Albert Chin, those that are
        broken are mine.

        * libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am: Look for
        included files in the right places.

2004-07-18  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * ltmain.in [darwin](func_extract_archives): Because fat archives
        on darwin can not be extracted using ar, we need to use lipo to
        extract the thin archives and then use lipo again to generate the
        individual fat objects. This should allow people to run configure
        with CC set to "cc -arch ppc -arch ppc64" or "cc -arch ppc -arch
        i386" or whatever to match the toolchain they have available.

2004-07-18  Greg Eisenhauer  <eisen@cc.gatech.edu>

        * libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am: Use AM_MAKEFLAGS not MAKEFLAGS.

2004-07-18  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * libltdl/Makefile.am: Ensure that lt__dirent.h is part of the dist,
        also make failed looking for configure.ac, look for
        $(top_srcdir)/configure.ac instead.

2004-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/lt__private.h (lt_dlhandle_struct): Renamed to
        lt__handle to better reflect the naming scheme.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlhandle): Be truly opaque with a void *.
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.c (lt_dlloader_remove): Party to
        lt__private.h, so use internal lt__handle instead of opaque
        lt_dlhandle.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (LT_DLGET_FLAG, LT_DLSET_FLAG): Add a cast to
        internal lt__handle type.
        (try_dlopen, tryall_dlopen, load_deplibs, unload_deplibs): Ditto.
        (lt_dlexit, lt_dlclose, lt_dlsym): Use lt__handle to iterate
        throught the handle list.
        (try_dlopen): Use lt__zalloc instead of MALLOC and memset.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlcaller_id): Be truly opaque with a void *.
        (lt_dlhandle_interface): New callback type for filtering handles
        according to the interface they present.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlcaller_register): Take an id and an
        interface check callback, and generate a caller_id.
        (iterator): New static variable for the use of...
        (lt_dlhandle_first): New function.  Set the iterator for
        subsequent calls to lt_dlhandle_next.
        (lt_dlhandle_next): Either work as before when iterator is unset,
        or else skip handles that fail the interface check in iterator set
        by lt_dlhandle_first.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlhandle_first): Declaration.
        * doc/libtool.texi (User defined module data): Document the new
        APIs.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Split lt_dlloader management into a separate file, and factor
        `loaders' list management into a new SList ADT.  In the process,
        the API for writing loaders is a little cleaner, so all the
        existing loaders were tweaked to take advantage of that:

        * libltdl/slist.h, libltdl/slist.c: New files implementing a
        generic singly linked list container ADT.  The ADT is purely
        internal, and none of its API's are visible from an installed
        libltdl.
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_dlloader): Removed next field again
        :-) Renamed to lt_dlvtable for API.  Changed all callers.
        (lt_dlloader_get): New function to turn an lt_dlloader into its
        associated lt_dlvtable.
        (lt_dlloader_add): Removed unused data parameter.  The caller
        data belongs to (and is set by) the loader itself, not the
        loader's client.  Changed all callers.
        (lt_dlloader_name, lt_dlloader_data): Removed.  Use
        lt_dlloader_get instead!
        * libltdl/lt__private.h: Include slist.h.
        (lt__alloc_die_callback): Add missing LT_SCOPE to declaration.
        (lt_dlhandle_struct): Use lt_dlvtable instead of opaque
        lt_dlloader.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit): Rewritten for the new loader API.
        (loaders, lt_dlloader_add, lt_dlloader_remove, lt_dlloader_next,
        lt_dlloader_find): Moved from here...
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.c ((loaders, lt_dlloader_add,
        lt_dlloader_remove, lt_dlloader_next, lt_dlloader_find): ...to
        here.  And rewritten in terms of new SList interface.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit, tryall_dlopen): Rewritten in terms of
        new lt_dlloader interface.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libdlloader_la_SOURCES): Add slist.h and
        slist.c.  Move lt_dlloader.h from here...
        (pkginclude_HEADERS): ...to here.
        (libltdl_la_SOURCES): Add lt_dlloader.c and lt_dlloader.h.

2004-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Collapse two almost identical structures into one:

        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_dlloader): Add next field.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_user_dlloader): Remove entirely.  Change all
        callers to use lt_dlloader instead.  Add a compatibility macro.
        (lt_dlloader_add): Remove copy and allocate stage, just hook
        directly into the loaders list.

2004-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        A cleaner way to access the private fields of an lt_dlhandle
        than my move of the module field into lt_dlinfo:

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_caller_data, lt_dlhandle_struct): Move from
        here...
        * libltdl/lt__private.h (lt_caller_data, lt_dlhandle_struct):
        ...to here.  And put the module field back here...
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlinfo): ...instead of here.
        * libltdl/loaders/loadlibrary.c (vm_open): Adjust.

2004-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/lt__private.h (streq, strneq): New macros to make strcmp
        calls as used for simple comparison easier to read.
        * libltdl/loaders/dyld.c, libltdl/loaders/preopen.c,
        libltdl/ltdl.c: Use them!

2004-07-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        This pervasive changeset makes two intertwined deep changes to the
        operation of libtool (neither would work alone).  First, there is
        a new feature that allows libraries to preopen modules.  This
        entails a backwards incompatible change to the libltdl API for
        separating out the preloaded symbol lists by owner.  Second, in
        the tradition of "eating our own dogfood", libltdl now preloads
        its own dlloaders.  The internal API for dlloaders has also had to
        change in a backwards incompatible way in support of the new
        library preloading feature.  If you don't use preloaded libraries,
        you needn't change your project sources, though you will need to
        recompile against the new libltdl.  The API changes are mostly
        confined to dlloaders, so you probably needn't worry about those
        (unless you have written a custom loader that you want libltdl to
        use):

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add libltdl/loaders/Makefile.
        * libltdl/configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add loaders/Makefile.
        * libltdl/loaders: New directory for module loaders, to simplify
        Makefile rules, and to give the loaders themselves names that are
        unique in the first few characters.
        * libtoolize.in (func_copy_all_files): Copy recursively to pick up
        the loaders directory contents.
        * libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am: New file.  Move module building
        rules to here...
        * libltdl/Makefile.am: ...from here.
        (VERSION_INFO): Bumped version info to signify interface changes.
        (libltdl_la_CPPFLAGS, libltdlc_la_CPPFLAGS): Set LTDLOPEN
        appropriately for each library.
        * libltdl/loader-dld_link.c, libltdl/loader-dlopen.c,
        libltdl/loader-dyld.c, libltdl/loader-load_add_on.c,
        libltdl/loader-loadlibrary.c libltdl/loader-preopen.c,
        libltdl/loader-shl_load.c: Moved from here...
        * libltdl/loaders/dld_link.c, libltdl/loaders/dlopen.c,
        libltdl/loaders/dyld.c, libltdl/loaders/load_add_on.c,
        libltdl/loaders/loadlibrary.c libltdl/loaders/preopen.c,
        libltdl/loaders/shl_load.c: ...to here.
        (get_vtable): New entry function for each.
        * libltdl/loaders/preopen.c (lt_dlsymlists_t): Replaced by...
        (symlist_chain): ...a new structure which maps lists of preloaded
        symbols from the object that loads them.
        (lt_dlpreload_open): New function to automatically open all
        preloaded modules belonging to a named object (ORIGINATOR).
        * libltdl/lt__alloc.c (lt__zalloc): New function to return a block
        of zeroed out new memory.
        * libltdl/lt__alloc.h (lt__zalloc): Prototype it.
        * libltdl/lt__private.h (lt__alloc_die_callback): Add missing
        prototype.
        (lt__error_strings): Make this opaque to callers.
        * libltdl/lt_error.c (lt__error_strings): Move the implementation
        to here.
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_user_dlloader): Add extra fields to
        make originator focused preloading possible.  *BREAKS BACKWARDS
        COMPATIBILITY*
        (lt_dlloader_add): Take advantage of new fields to simplify
        paramater list.
        * libltdl/lt_system.h (LT_STR): New ANSI stringification macro.
        (LT_CONC): Fix it to work from within macros.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (loader_init, loader_init_callback): Simplify
        dlloader loading.
        (get_vtable, preloaded_symbols): Point these at the preopen.c
        symbols to bootstrap the loader chain.
        (lt_dlinit): Load the preopen dlloader manually, and then use it
        to load any other preloaded dlloaders.
        (lt_dlloader_add): Simplify parameter list. Populate new
        fields. Chain new loaders according to priority field.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlsymlist): Add a new originator field.
        (lt_dlpreload_callback_func): Type of a callback for automatic
        lt_dlpreload_open loading.
        (LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS): Adjust to hook into preloaded
        symbols from the "@PROGRAM@" originator.
        * tests/demo/dlmain.c (main): Use mangled preloaded_symbols symbol.
        * tests/pdemo/longer_file_name_dlmain.c (main): Ditto.
        * ltmain.in: Don't spew spurious warnings when dlopening and
        dlpreopening modules.
        (func_generate_dlsyms): Factored out from multiple copies in the
        rest of the code. Generate originator keyed symbol lists.
        (func_extract_archives): Also factored.  Extract the contents of
        convenience archives for linking with dependent libraries when
        --whole-archive is not available.
        [darwin]: Don't try to link $old_library unless it exists, and
        $lib is a bundle.
        * m4/ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_DLLIB): Check for all possible dynamic
        loading libraries/apis rather that stopping when an acceptable one
        is discovered.
        (LT_DLLOADERS): New variable for holding dlloaders that can be
        preloaded.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Document interface changes.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-07-12  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 [darwin]: Set whole_archive_flag_spec to '' for xlc,
        or it does not pass it's tests. xlc passes -noall_load (the default)
        and when -all_load is also specified Apple's /usr/bin/libtool barfs
        and dies.

2004-07-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlinfo): Move private module field to here...
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlhandle_struct): ...from here.  Changed all
        callers.
        * libltdl/loader-loadlibrary.c (sys_wll_open): Use new inteface to
        scan loaded handle->info.module fields for previously loaded
        modules.
        * doc/libtool.texi (User defined module data): Document changes to
        the interface.

2004-06-24  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>

        * ltmain.in: Unset the zsh GLOB_SUBST option, which makes zsh

        * ltmain.in (dependency_libs) [darwin]: Remove -framework stuff from
        dependency_libs. Instead, invent a new .la var "inherited_linker_flags"
        to keep any linker flags which should be used when linking the library,
        but are outside the usual -L -l, -R etc that can be used in
        dependency_libs. Any unusual flags in dependency_libs cause recent
        versions of libtool to die with "cannot find the library `'", so
        it is required to move frameworks out of there. :(

        From Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>:

        Either set variables to allow a client to link with the installed
        libltdl, or else compile a local libltdl as a convenience library.
        * libtoolize.in (opt_ltdl): Removed in favour of...
        (ltdldir): ...this, which is defaulted to "libltdl" or can be set

2004-06-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        libltdl uses LIBOBJS, which leak out into a parent project if both
        share the same configure.ac.  Libtool itself doesn't compile any
        code, so it is okay to do it during bootstrap, but other projects
        need to treat libltdl as a configurable subproject to keep their
        respective LIBOBJS separate:

        * libltdl/configure.ac: New file, based on configure.ac.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (AC_LOCAL_AMFLAGS): Use our own m4
        directory.
        (ltdldata_DATA): List *all* the files that libtoolize --ltdl will
        install.

2004-06-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Automake 1.9 won't have the AC_PROG_EGREP bug (aclocal used to
        pull an old installed libtool.m4 as well as the bootstrap
        m4/libtool.m4 if an AC_DEFUN was removed), and we have
        lt~obsolete.m4 to work around it in the mean time.  libtoolize
        can install macro files from $prefix/share/aclocal perfectly well
        without us needing to move to a whole other directory:

        * Makefile.am (pkgmacro_DATA): Renamed to aclocal_DATA, so m4
        files are installed to $prefix/share/aclocal again.
        (install-data-local): Don't remove just installed macros!
        * libtoolize.in (pkgmacrodir): Renamed to aclocaldir.
        (func_copy_some_files): New function factored out of...
        (func_copy_all_files): ...here.  Adjust to use func_copy_some_files.
        (re_pkgaux_files): Renamed to glob_pkgaux_files, since it is not
        a regular expression.
        (re_pkgmagro_files): Replaced with...
        (pkgmacro_files): ...a colon delimited list of libtool installed
        m4 files from aclocaldir.
        (Main): Copy macro files from aclocaldir again.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-05-21  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * ltmain.sh (check_executable): The WIN32 API and MinGW do not support
        S_IXOTH and S_IXGRP so use of these modes should be conditional.

2004-05-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * tests/tagtrace.test: Forgot to add this file to the repository
        for Alexandre's 2004-05-16 patch below.

2004-05-18  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Make this an m4_defun,
        test the tags compiler to see if it is GCC, not the CC compiler.

2004-05-16  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD): QNX6 uses GNU C++, with deplib
        checking, so use pass_all.

        According to Howard Chu <hyc@highlandsun.com>:
        Applications should assume that the native dlopen is NOT
        thread-safe, and take care of locking themselves. All application
        calls into libltdl should thus be protected by the caller.

        * libltdl/lt_mutex.c, libltdl/lt_mutex.h: Removed.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (pkginclude_HEADERS): Removed lt_mutex.h.

        Factor out the individual loaders, in preparation for preloading
        them as libtool modules.  Currently loader-preopen.c is linked
        unconditionally and other appropriate loaders discovered by
        AC_LTDL_DLLIB are built and linked in:

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdl_la_SOURCES): Add loader-preopen
        module.
        * m4/ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_DLLIB): Use AC_LIBOBJ to add appropriate

        code from here...
        * libltdl/loader-dld_link.c, libltdl/loader-dlopen.c,

        Factor out the mutex handling and error handling into their own
        modules.  Mutex handling is not currently useful in combination
        with posix threads, and should be easier to replace if it is in a
        separate module.  Additionally, we can factor out the loaders in
        such a way as to depend on only the portability layer and these
        new mutex and error modules now:

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (pkginclude_HEADERS): Install lt_error.h and
        lt_mutex.h to $includedir/libltdl.

2004-04-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        There was no clean separation of abstraction layers in libltdl.
        The first step in fixing this is to factor out the memory
        management abstraction, making a start on removing promiscuity
        from the underlying portability layer:

        * doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface): Remove lt_dlmalloc,
        lt_dlrealloc and lt_dlfree references.  The memory management
        layer used by libltdl is now private.
        * libltdl/lt_system.h: New installed header for system portability
        abstraction.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: Use it.
        * libltdl/lt__alloc.c, libltdl/lt__alloc.h: New module above
        system portability layer to abstract ltdl's memory management.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Use lt__alloc.h.
        (closedir): Use free.
        (opendir): Use malloc/free.
        (lt__xalloc_die_callback): Report memory failures through
        lt_dlerror.
        (lt_dlinit): Use it to initialise memory management.
        (LT_DLMALLOC, LT_DLREALLOC, LT_DLFREE, LT_EMALLOC, LT_EREALLOC)
        (rpl_strdup, rpl_realloc, lt_estrdup, lt_emalloc, lt_erealloc):
        Removed in favour of...
        (lt__strdup, lt__memdup, MALLOC, REALLOC, FREE): ...these calls
        from libltdl/lt__alloc.h.  Changed all callers.
        (rpl_argz_append, rpl_argz_create_sep, rpl_argz_insert): As part
        of the portability layer, these functions no longer use libltdl
        memory management API.
        (free_vars): Factored out.
        (LT_DLMEM_REASSIGN): While redoing memory handling, renamed...
        * libltdl/lt__alloc.h (MEMREASSIGN): ...to this.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Let automake track
        dependencies automatically.
        (pkgincludedir): Override from parent package's setting.
        (pkginclude_HEADERS): Install lt_system.h.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_INIT): aclocal can't see AC_DEFUN_ONCE, so use
        AC_DEFUN and m4_define.
        * libtoolize.in (func_serial): No longer accept AC_DEFUN_ONCE...
        (func_grep): ...so mere grep is sufficient again...

2004-03-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Use LT_INIT as #serial tag.
        * libtoolize.in: Grok LT_INIT!  Pass A[CM]_PROG_LIBTOOL to...
        (func_serial_update): ...here, we now take an additional parameter
        containing another regex to match ancient serialed files.
        (func_serial): Accept AC_DEFUN_ONCE of the #serial tag...
        (func_grep): ...which requires egrep...
        (EGREP): ...substituted by config.status.

2004-03-24  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * NEWS: Explain more fully why we no longer load libraries
        with global symbol resolution.
        * doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): Add missing
        documentation for 'inherit_rpath' variable.

        * configure.ac: Catch errors during calls to AC_PROG_CXX,
        AC_PROG_CXXCPP and AC_PROG_F77 before LT_INIT.  Only set the
        HAVE_CXX and HAVE_F77 conditions to true if an error didn't
        occur (AC_PROG_CXX leaves CXX="g++" even if it didn't find one).
        Set HAVE_GCJ and HAVE_RC to true correctly as well.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_PROG_GCJ): If AC_PROG_GCJ or AM_PROG_GCJ are
        defined, expand to the definition of those instead of our own.
        Define GCJ to '' instead of 'no' if not found.
        (LT_PROG_RC) Define RC to '' instead of 'no' if not found.
        (_LT_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG): Require LT_PROG_GCJ to be expanded first.
        (_LT_LANG_RC_CONFIG): Require LT_PROG_RC to be expanded first.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (sys_dl_open): Don't load libraries with global
        symbol resolution.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-03-24  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Add new variable, inherit_rpath, if the
        RPATHs of the libraries being linked are inherited in
        the output file. For systems with a linker exhibiting
        this feature, programs/libraries must be relinked at
        installation time.

        * m4/libtool.m4: When linking convenience libraries on Solaris
        with the Sun C++ compiler, pass convenience libraries through
        to the linker with -Qoption between allextract/defaultextract.
        The Sun C++ compiler bundles -Qoption arguments so
        convenience libraries are linked with defaultextract
        otherwise.
        * tagdemo/Makefile.am, tagdemo/main.cpp, tagdemo/conv.h,
        tagdemo/conv.cpp: Augment tagdemo test to link a convenience
        library with a libtool library.

        * ltmain.in: Piecewise linking doesn't work when the output
        file is an absolute path, use the basename only instead.

        * ltmain.in: When a library is installed, dependent on a
        convenience library, and it involves relinking, the object
        files extracted from the convenience library are not removed
        after the relink. This is a problem if you build as non-root,
        install as root, then try to remove the build directory as
        non-root; Clean up properly if relink fails; Change
        "$realname"U to ${realname}T to be consistent.

2004-03-24  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in <prog linkmode>: Always add -L options to
        $newlib_search_path instead of just in scan mode to ensure that
        non-libtool libraries in user-specified directories can be found.

2004-03-22  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CONFIG): Remove unneeded else condition
        code, now the support determination is done in m4.
        (_LT_LANG): Correct comment, unexpected leak from keybuk-lt-tag.patch.

2004-03-21  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdl_la_LDFLAGS): Increment CURRENT
        and AGE of libltdl, warranted by the addition of lt_dlhandle_find()
        since 1.5.2.

2004-03-21  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        Further sweeping changes to the user interface to libtool from
        `configure.ac' to allow users to better control the list of
        supported languages.  Three LT_INIT options 'no-lang', 'all-lang'
        and 'auto-lang' (the default) control the initial list and others
        may be added with LT_LANG.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CONFIG): Renamed AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG to _LT_CONFIG
        which is more consistent with our own namespace and gets us further out
        of Autoconf's.
        (_LT_LIBTOOL_TAGS): Output available_tags variable based entirely
        on the value of _LT_TAGS.
        (_LT_COPYING): Call _LT_LIBTOOL_TAGS to output available tags,
        always append tag configuration if the tag is available.
        (LT_LANG): New macro to enable support for a language that accepts
        tag names (eg. "CXX") or human language names (eg. "C++").
        (_LT_LANG): Internal support macro for above that appends the
        tag to _LT_TAGS and calls the appropriate config macro.
        (LT_INIT): Ensure that LT_LANG is not called before LT_INIT.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS): Removed, call LT_LANG for each language now.
        (_LT_AC_TAG_CHECK): Removed, _LT_LANG handles duplicate calls.
        (_LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG): Macro to set initial language support
        based on options passed to LT_INIT.
        (_LT_SETUP): Call _LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG.
        (_LT_AC_TAG_CONFIG): Removed, handled by _LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_CXX, _LT_AC_LANG_F77, _LT_AC_LANG_GCJ): Removed,
        automatic language support inclusion now handled by
        _LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CXX): Obsolete macro, update to LT_LANG(C++).
        (AC_LIBTOOL_F77): Obsolete macro, update to LT_LANG(Fortran 77).
        (AC_LIBTOOL_GCJ): Obsolete macro, update to LT_LANG(Java).
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_C_CONFIG_: Removed.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_C_CONFIG, call
        _LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.

        new _LT_LANG_C_CONFIG macro.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Removed.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG, call
        _LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_F77_CONFIG): Removed.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_F77_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_F77_CONFIG, call
        _LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG): Removed.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG, call
        _LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_LANG_RC_CONFIG): Removed.
        (_LT_AC_LANG_RC_CONFIG): Renamed to _LT_LANG_RC_CONFIG, call
        _LT_CONFIG instead of AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG.
        (LT_AC_PROG_GCJ): Renamed to LT_PROG_GCJ.
        (LT_AC_PROG_RC): Renamed to LT_PROG_RC.
        * m4/ltoptions.m4: Define new 'no-lang', 'auto-lang' and 'all-lang'
        options which set the default for _LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG.
        * m4/lt~obsolete.m4: Removed AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG, _LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG,
        _LT_AC_LANG_GCJ_CONFIG, _LT_AC_LANG_RC_CONFIG; all of which are no
        long referenced in any way.
        * configure.ac: Enable all languages.
        * tests/cdemo/configure.ac, tests/demo/configure,ac,
        tests/depdemo/configure.ac, tests/f77demo/configure.ac,
        tests/mdemo/configure.ac, tests/pdemo/configure,ac,
        tests/tagdemo/configure.ac: Remove calls to AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS,
        the default 'auto-lang' mode now does the right thing.
        * doc/libtool.texi (The LT_INIT macro): Add documentation for
        new LT_INIT options and the LT_LANG macro, replacing the old
        documentation of AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS which is no more.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-03-17  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Removed AC_BEFORE references to AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP
        which is no more.

        * NEWS: Updated.

        * doc/libtool.texi: This manual has not been maintained properly

2004-02-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Sweeping changes to the user interface to libtool from
        `configure.ac' to be more like AC_INIT and accept a space
        delimited list of options.  Instead of calling `AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN;
        AC_PROG_LIBTOOL', we now recommend `LT_INIT([dlopen])':

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, _AC_PROG_LIBTOOL)
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Removed.  Added AU_DEFUNs.
        (LT_INIT): Replace with an Autoconf like interface which accepts a
        version number as a minimum required libtool release at configure
        time.
        * m4/ltoptions.m4: New file inspired by automake/m4/amoptions.m4,
        which additionally flags an error if the configuring libtool
        macros are not new enough according to LT_INIT.
        (LT_OPTION_DEFINE): New macro to declare option handlers.
        (dlopen, win32-dll, shared, disable-shared, static)
        (disable-static, fast-install, disable-fast-install, pic-only)
        (no-pic): Newly LT_OPTION_DEFINEd option handlers that use...
        (_LT_ENABLE_SHARED, _LT_ENABLE_STATIC, _LT_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL)
        (_LT_WITH_PIC, _LT_WIN32_DLL): New macros to handle
        LT_LIBTOOL_INIT options...
        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_ENABLE_SHARED, AC_ENABLE_STATIC)
        (AC_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL, AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL):
        ...to replace these user interface macros, now defined as
        AU_DEFUNs.
        (AC_DISABLE_SHARED, AC_DISABLE_STATIC, AC_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL):
        Removed.  No longer required with LT_INIT_LIBTOOL interface.
        Added AU_DEFUNs.
        (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_DISABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC)
        (AM_DISABLE_STATIC): Changed AU_DEFUNs to match new interface.
        (_LT_SETUP): Internal to LT_INIT, replaces AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP.
        * m4/lt~obsolete.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP, _AC_PROG_LIBTOOL)
        (_LT_PROG_LTMAIN):  More AC_DEFUNs that have been retracted.
        * configure.ac: Use new interface.
        * doc/libtool.texi: Document new interface.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-02-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * commit (SHELL): Set it explicitly, incase some madman is using
        tcsh as their login shell :-b

2004-02-15  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * Makefile.am (m4/ltversion.m4): Generate serial number by
        removing initial '1.' from the revision, replace @MACRO_SERIAL@
        with this new variable.
        * m4/ltversion.in: Use @MACRO_SERIAL@ for the serial number
        as some shells don't like a '.' when using test.

        * m4/ltversion.in: Add a serial number to this file otherwise
        libtoolize will refuse to copy it into $pkgdatadir, where it
        is needed by m4/libtool.m4.

2004-02-15  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4, ltmain.in: Rename shrext to shrext_cmds.

2004-02-13  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in, libtoolize.in, commit, config/mailnotify: Correctly
        quote usage of $basename and $dirname to avoid (unlikely) path
        expansion.

        * tests/sh.test: Test the config/ltmain.sh and libtoolize in the
        build directory not the source directory, where they won't exist
        during 'make distcheck'.
        * ltmain.in: Revert one line of previous intendation clean-up
        to enable one of the sh.test checks to pass.

        * tests/cdemo/configure.ac: Drop AC_PREREQ back to 2.54, this
        was debris from Gary's cvsapply going mad and wasn't backed
        out.

        * Makefile.am (pkgmacro_DATA): We have to distribute
        m4/ltversion.m4 because it can be needed before the Makefile
        that generates it exists.

2004-02-13  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * commit (MKSTAMP): Look for mkstamp in the right place.

2004-02-12  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * Makefile.maint, Makefile: Move rules intended for Libtool
        maintainers only out of the Makefile we distribute and into one
        that we only need keep in CVS.
        * README-alpha: Add -fMakefile.maint to the instructions where
        needed.

2004-02-12  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>
        Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: Fix typo: duplcations -> duplications,
        Fix indentation of a handful of badly indented blocks,
        Fix last remaining use of 'grep' to $GREP,
        Remove unnecessary trailing slash where we break a line on a
        command separator.
        * m4/libtool.m4: Also remove unnecessary trailing slash where
        we break a line on a command separator.

2004-02-12  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * m4/ltoptions.m4: This got committed by an over-keen Gary,
        but the support for this isn't ready yet and if aclocal decides
        to m4_include this (which it will) you'll get a non-functioning
        libtool.  Removed.

        * ltmain.in: Remove duplicated version checking block.

        * bootstrap, m4/libtool.m4: Argh, Gary went crazy after cvsapply
        went crazy and backed out more than he should've.  This patch puts
        some of it back again.

        * ltmain.in, libtoolize.in, commit, config/mailnotify: Remove
        $SED from definitions of $dirname and $basename and prefix each
        use with it instead.  Some shells (zsh) treat the expansion as
        a single command instead of a command with arguments.

        * config/mailnotify (func_sendmail): Look for sendmail in a
        couple of common non-PATH locations as well.

        * ltmain.in: Fix typo: macro's -> macros.

        * ltmain.in: Correct definition of basename sed expression to
        not include single quotes.

2004-02-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in: Use $progpath as for ltmain.in to work around the
        IRIX bug described below.
        * commit, config/mailnotify: Ditto. Resynch with cvs-utils HEAD.

2004-02-12  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>,
            Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in (progpath): Work around backward compatibility issue
        on IRIX 6.5. On IRIX 6.4+, sh is ksh but when the shell is invoked
        as "sh" and the current value of the _XPG environment variable is
        not equal to 1 (one), the special positional parameter $0, within
        a function call, is the name of the function. So, rather than
        using "$0" in functions, we set $progpath in the body and use that
        everywhere instead (incase of code refactoring later).
        (EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_MISMATCH): For clarity.

2004-02-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove config/mailnotify after all; it
        is of no use in a distribution tarball.

2004-02-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * commit: Fix cut-n-paste error.

        * commit: Completely change CVS/Root->name sed script to actually
        work when :ext: is not shown.

        * commit: Improve CVS/Root->name sed script to work when :ext: is
        not shown.

2004-02-11  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Fix typo: testring -> teststring.

2004-02-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * commit: Mail a nicer commit notification.

2004-02-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * NEWS, bootstrap, configure.ac, ltmain.in, m4/libtool.m4:
        * m4/lt~obsolete.m4, tests/cdemo/configure.ac: Arghh.  cvsapply just
        went crazy and committed a bunch of stuff that shouldn't have been
        in the last changeset.  The patch backs it all out.

        * config/mailnotify: New file for mailing commit notifications,
        imported from cvs-utils.
        * commit: Updated from cvs-utils and tweaked for libtool.
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add config/mailnotify.

2004-02-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * bootstrap: Remove vcl.tmp, otherwise it can interfere with make.
        * Makefile.am (vcl.tmp): Move comment out of multi-line command,
        as this rule is called from bootstrap as if it were a Makefile.

        * m4/ltversion.in: New file to capture what version number macros
        are being used.
        * Makefile.am (m4/ltversion.m4): New rule to create it from
        m4/ltversion.in.
        (nodist_pkgmacro_DATA): Add m4/ltversion.m4.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Add m4/ltversion.in.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): AC_REQUIRE LTVERSION_VERSION
        from ltversion.m4.
        * bootstrap: Call the Makefile.am to create an initial
        m4/ltversion.m4.
        * ltmain.in: Diagnose version mismatches of various flavours.
        * TODO: Remove mismatch item.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * Makefile.am ($(top_builddir)/config.status): Removed.
        * configure.ac (CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES): This substitution is
        how automake-1.8 now informs all Makefiles when config.status
        needs to be rebuilt.
        Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@src.lip6.fr>

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Generate libtoolize from here.
        * Makefile.am (libtool, libtoolize): These rules are redundant.
        Automake generates better rules for remaking these files.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Catch unexpanded macros with
        beginning with LT_ and _LT_.
        * configure.ac (LT_MAJOR, LT_MINOR, LT_MICRO, LT_ALPHA): Renamed
        to lt_major, lt_minor, lt_micro, lt_alpha to save triggering the
        unexpanded macros error.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE): Removed.  We now require
        Autoconf 2.58, which ships this macro anyway.

        * Makefile.am: Comment typo.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_PREREQ): Declare the minimum release number
        that is required for the calling code.
        * doc/libtool.texi (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): Document it.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2004-02-05  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * ltmain.in (infer_tag, win32_libid): Style changes. Rename
        infer_tag to func_infer_tag and win32_libid to func_win32_libid.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (cygwin): rename win32_libid to func_win32_libid.

2004-02-04  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * ltmain.in (infer_tag): Move tag inferrence to a shell function.
        Also test $base_compile against $CC with escaped arguments. Bug
        reported by Geoff Keating <geoffk@apple.com>.

2004-02-03  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * Makefile.am (install-data-hook): Manually make config.guess
        and config.sub executable after they are installed as _DATA.
        We can't use _SCRIPTS because the various program name
        transforms may be applied to them.
        (dist_pkgdata_DATA): List config.guess and config.sub here
        (pkgdata_SCRIPTS): instead of here.

2003-02-03  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: Create temporary directory under a strict umask
        rather than running chmod afterwards, preventing a race
        condition where the directory could be replaced with a symbolic
        link in the time between the two commands.

2004-01-31  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARE): Change `echo to
        `$echo, causes problems when builtin echo is broken. Reported
        by Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>.

2004-01-27  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        This fixes release procedure problems discovered whilst making
        the 1.5.2 release.

        * Makefile.am (cvs-dist): Because we check whether ChangeLog
        has been committed, this rule can't be run with uncommitted
        source so we can't run 'commit' and don't need to run
        'make dist' a second time.  Fix CVS tag as it should be
        "release-X" not "Release-X".
        (cvs_commit): New rule for the cvs-release chain that runs
        'commit'
        (cvs-release): Depend on cvs-commit, depend on deltas instead of
        cvs-diff and xdelta.
        (cvs-diff): Removed, replaced with delta-diff.
        (delta-diff): Unpack and diff the old and new tarballs rather
        than using CVS, so we get a genuinely complete diff.
        (xdelta): Removed, replaced with delta-xdelta.
        (got-xdelta): New rule for improved reading.
        (delta-xdiff): Copied and cleaned up version of old xdelta rule.
        (deltas): Depends on delta-diff and delta-xdelta (make deltas).
        (cvs-news): Don't depend on timestamps, cvs-dist itself does now.
        (prev-tarball): This is the only place we need a LASTRELEASE check
        so copy the code here and remove the CHECK_RELEASE variable.
        (new-tarball): Check there's a new tarball (did cvs-dist work?)
        (FETCHFILES): Remove obsolete libltdl mentions.
        * README-alpha: Update CVS instructions as everything's changed
        on Savannah.
        (Release procedure): Update NEWS and ChangeLog after changing
        the version number (both times); Run 'make fetch' after running
        'configure' (difficult to do it beforehand); Require 'commit'
        before 'make cvs-dist' as that checks ChangeLog is committed;
        'make deltas' instead of 'cvs-diff' and 'xdelta', pass LASTRELEASE
        to make instead of OLDVERSION (and it's mandatory); Clean up
        uploading paragraph; Clearer announcement sending instruction;
        Removed ftp-upload@gnu.org mail as that's not necessary now;
        Make web page updating instructions a bit clearer; Add an instruction
        to update the manual for non-alphas.
        (Alpha release note template): Add a Subject; update CVS instructions.
        (Full release note template): Add a Subject; update CVS instructions.
        * configure.ac: Add dist-bzip2 to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE as we talk
        about bz2 files in our release announcements; remove old reference
        to OLDVERSION.

2004-01-25  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * NEWS: Include 1.5.2 release information.

2004-01-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        This fixes a bug in the libtoolize ltdl source installation rules,
        which were copying Makefile.in from the libtool tree into the
        package running libtoolize.  Now we explicitly list the files to
        copy to force the package to generate its own Makefile.in:

        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libltdl_la_SOURCES, libltdlc_la_SOURCES):
        Add ltdl.h.
        (ltdldatadir): New variable for installation directory of
        libtoolize --ltdl files.
        (ltdldata_DATA): Tell automake what files to copy there at install
        time (and remove at unistall time!).
        (local-install-files): Removed.  This hack is not required
        anymore, the automake generated install rules are much more
        advanced than this.
        * Makefile.am (install-data-hook, uninstall-local): Removed.
        Libltdl files for libtoolize are installed by their own Makefile
        now.

2004-01-22  Jeff Squyres  <jsquyres@lam-mpi.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O): Some compilers
        (e.g. Intel Linux icc compiler) write temporary files to the current
        directory. These compilers do support -c and -o simultaneously but
        wrongly fail the test due to the failure to create temporary
        files. It is incorrect to penalize compilers which write temporary
        files to the current directory so the 'chmod -w .' is therefore
        removed.

2004-01-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_AC_PROG_EGREP): Wrapper for AC_PROG_GREP.
        AIX has a brain-dead grep that only handles lines < 2048
        characters.  Default GREP incase we are not using a future
        autoconf that sets it for us :-)  Changed all callers to use $GREP
        instead of grep, and to AC_REQUIRE LT_AC_PROG_EGREP.
        Declare GREP as a libtool config var.
        * ltmain.in: Use it.
        * tests/sh.test (scripts): Accept `if $GREP "^foo=bar"' by
        tightening the regexp.
        Reported by Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

2004-01-21  Nick Hudson  <skrll@netbsd.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER) [netbsd*]: Remove
        gratuitous ${libname}${release}${shared_ext} from
        library_names_spec.

2004-01-21  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LD_RELOAD_FLAG): On darwin change the
        reload_cmds to use $CC, otherwise ld will thin out any fat
        objects.

2004-01-18  Benjamin Reed  <ranger@befunk.com>

        * ltmain.in: Fix handling of frameworks in search paths.  Also
        a one-liner fix to eval shrext in the libtool library search.

2004-01-16  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Require 1.8 for bootstrap, or
        else aclocal.m4 is huge, and m4 directory is not distributed.

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Create config.h in
        $top_srcdir.
        * m4/ltdl.m4 (AC_LIB_LTDL): Run AC_CONFIG_HEADERS for the user if
        necessary. Calculate filename from first argument to
        AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, and substitute as CONFIG_H.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Make sure we are searching in
        $top_srcdir for headers.
        (DEFS): Override the default HAVE_CONFIG_H with the config.h
        filename.
        (ltdl.lo): Reference config.h via $(CONFIG_H).
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (HAVE_CONFIG_H): Ditto.

2004-01-15  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * m4/lt~obsolete.m4: Add a file containing aclocal-fooling
        macro definitions which stop the contents of an installed
        libtool.m4 ending up in our aclocal.m4 when we bootstrap.
        * Makefile.am (pkgmacro_DATA): Note that we don't need to add
        lt~obsolete.m4 to this list.

2004-01-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_COPYING): Factor out copyright message so it
        only needs to be updated in one place.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Refactor to be more readable.  Only add
        tags if a compiler was found; ie if you have no gcj compiler,
        don't tack the GCJ tag onto the generated libtool script.

2004-01-13  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Quote shrext as it is evaled in ltmain.

2004-01-11  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: new -precious-files-regex link mode option
        to prevent removal of matching files from the temporary
        output directory.
        (Debian Bug #221420)
        * doc/libtool.texi: document the new option.
        * NEWS: announce the new option.

2004-01-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (func_copy_all_files): s/xfunc_copy/Xfunc_copy.
        Now the test can actually succeed sometimes.

2004-01-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in: Break out of the command argument parse loop when
        -- is encountered.

2004-01-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (func_copy_all_files): s/test "x/test "X/ to keep
        tests/sh.test happy.

2004-01-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (aclocal_macros, aclocal_DATA): Removed.
        (EXTRA_DIST): Remove m4 macro files; they are automatically
        added by automake.
        (pkgmacrodir): Where to install libtool macro files.
        (pkgmacro_DATA): List installable libtool macro files.
        (install-data-local): Remove previous versions of ltdl.m4 and
        libtool.m4 from their old location.
        * libtoolize.in: Use new pkgmacrodir installed macros when
        libtoolizing a project.  Treat libtool.m4 and ltdl.m4 specially,
        and func_serial_update() any other files from pkgmacrodir.
        (pkgmacrodir): Where to find installed libtool macro files.
        (aclocaldir): Removed.
        (func_copy_all_files): Add an optional callback parameter to
        control how files are copied.  If the callback is passed, don't
        tell it whether it can copy or not.
        (func_serial): Exchange parameters and make macro_regex optional,
        so that this function can be used to extract serial numbers from
        files with the traditional /^# serial [1-9][0-9]*$/ syntax.
        Changed all callers.
        (func_serial_update): Make macro_regex optional last parameter, so
        that this function can be used as a callback for
        func_copy_all_files().  Changed all callers.
        * m4/ltsugar.m4: Add a serial number.

2004-01-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        A complete rewrite of the m4 code involved in the generation of
        libtool via config.status.  The old way involved manually
        synchronising disparate bits of shell code in several macros, to
        quote a copy of a shell variable, put that in config.status, maybe
        add it to some quotation loops to prevent early expansion, and
        then add a block to _LT_CONFIG_COMMANDS to bring it into the
        libtool script.  The new way is to mark shell variables for
        propogation using _LT_DECL for language independent variables, or
        _LT_TAGDECL for those that need to be propogated in several
        language flavours.  The marking can be done in the macro that
        probes the variables, and this new m4 machinery takes care of
        synchronising all the other bits of code at autoconf time:

        * m4/ltsugar.m4:  New file.  Macros that are useful outside the
        context of libtool.  Initially, contains some generalised list
        management macros, and the scaffolding for dictionary type data
        storage and retrieval.
        * Makefile.am (aclocal_macros): Install ltsugar.m4.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_DECL): Mark a shell variable for export to
        the libtool script, along with a comment, and hints for quoting
        and renaming.
        (_LT_TAGDECL): Similarly mark a tagged shell variable for export
        in each tag.
        (lt_decl_tag_varnames, lt_decl_quote_varnames)
        (lt_decl_dquote_varnames, lt_decl_varnames_tagged)
        (lt_decl_all_varnames):  New utility macros for managing lists of
        shell variable names from _LT_DECL and _LT_TAGDECL.
        (_LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARATIONS, _LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARE):
        Expand to correctly quoted variable declarations in config.status
        from all marked shell variables.
        (_LT_LIBTOOL_DECLARE): Expand to commented and quoted variable
        declaration for libtool tag section.
        (_LT_LIBTOOL_CONFIG_VARS, _LT_LIBTOOL_TAG_VARS): Pass all marked
        variables to _LT_LIBTOOL_DECLARE.
        (_LT_CONFIG_COMMANDS): Use _LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARATIONS and
        friends to generate all the variable passing shell code for
        config.status, to get marked variables from libtool.m4 into
        libtool itself eventually.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Generate marked variable code for libtool tag
        configuration.  Changed all client macros to mark variables
        suitably rather than the hand pasting that was necessary
        previously.
        (AC_PROG_SED): Renamed from LT_AC_PROG_SED.
        (LT_AC_PROG_SED): Wrap AC_PROG_SED, and mark shell variables for
        propogation to the libtool script.

2004-01-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (seen_gettext): Removed unused variable.

2004-01-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (func_scan_files): Don't assume the existence of
        aclocal.m4.  Make the comment more descriptive.
        Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz <adl@src.lip6.fr>

        * NEWS: Note libtoolize changes.

        * ChangeLog.2003: New file, containing all the ChangeLog entries
        from 2003.  Trimmed ChangeLog accordingly.

        * ltmain.in: Output 2004 in the copyright from libtool --version.

        Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: Don't use the mkdir -p option when creating a
        temporary output directory so a symlink attack can't be used to
        arbitrarily chmod other directories on the system if libtool
        gets run as root.

2004-01-02  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Ensure that ${ZSH_VERSION+set} is properly escaped.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (CDPATH): Change the CDPATH setting so that it
        allows for zsh differences, as noted in the autoconf manual's
        Portable Shell - Special Shell Variables section.

2004-01-02  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * .cvsignore: Ignore stamp-vcl created by the Makefile.

2004-01-02  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>
        Joe Orton  <joe@manyfish.co.uk>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Add extra blackslash
        in front of all the inner double-quotes as this is removed
        on Solaris, IRIX and AIX leading to broken definitions
        in config.status.

2004-01-02  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * NEWS: Next release will be in 2004.

2003-12-31  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.sh: Infer tagged configuration for link mode with the
        full compiler arguments available rather than only the first.

2003-12-31  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.sh: Quote $exec_cmd before it is eval'ed, so that
        libtool --mode=execute echo '4 * 5' does not expand the `*'.

2003-11-28  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Move things around so that "setopt NO_GLOB_SUBST"
        to make zsh behave wrt \ escapes happens early in config.status.

2003-11-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/configure.ac: Removed.
        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Merged from
        libltdl/configure.ac.
        (AC_LIB_LTDL): Ditto.
        (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Add libltdl/Makefile.
        (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS): Removed.
        (AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS): Remove generation of libltdl/ltmain.sh.
        * libltdl/Makefile.am (libtool): Removed references, since we now
        share $(top_builddir)/libtool.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2003-11-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (vcl.tmp): Be careful of VPATH builds.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add stamp-vcl, or we go back to a
        double configure run from a distributed tarball :-?

2003-11-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Okay, the problem I am trying to solve is that when a change (say,
        bumping the version to 1.6 for the next release) is committed, the
        timestamp in ChangeLog is updated, but ltmain.sh and libtoolize
        inherit the pre-commit build number from config.status.  This
        delta notes the change in build number in the unstamped ChangeLog
        and forces a rerun of configure etc. to roll a new ltmain.sh with
        the correct TIMESTAMP:

        * Makefile.am (stamp-vcl): We actually need a new config.status to
        force the correct timestamp into libtoolize and ltmain.sh,
        rerunning autoconf has no effect at all if configure.ac hasn't
        changed.

2003-11-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (stamp-vcl): New rules to force libtool and
        libtoolize scripts to update when the TIMESTAMP changes in
        ChangeLog, but the file modification time doesn't (e.g in cvs
        commit).  Otherwise we'll carry on releasing tarballs with the
        wrong version numbers in the tools!

        * config/mkstamp: Change output format to ` $rev $date'.
        * configure.ac: Make the banner more like suggestions in
        http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_toc.html Section 4.6.
        * libtoolize.in: Make --version output conform to the GNU
        standard.
        * ltmain.in: Ditto. And tweak the generated file headers to
        match.

2003-11-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am (config.status): Removed.  Rebuilding config.status
        isn't enough, because the TIMESTAMP in configure is still out
        of date.
        (configure): We actually need a new configure to force the
        correct timestamp into ltmain.sh.

        * Makefile.am (config/ltmain.sh): Removed.  Rebuilding ltmain.sh
        isn't enough, because the TIMESTAMP in config.status is still out
        of date.
        (config.status): We actually need a new config.status to force the
        correct timestamp into ltmain.sh.

        * Makefile.am (config/ltmain.sh): Note the dependency on the
        timestamp in ChangeLog so we don't ship libtools that report the
        wrong version number :-/

        * bootstrap: Explain automake and autoconf version dependencies
        truthfully, and the difference between bootstrap and user
        dependencies.
        * configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): List AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS here.
        * Makefile.am, doc/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am
        (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Removed from here.

2003-11-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * tests/defs (func_configure): cdemo, demo and mdemo are shows
        signs of indeterminacy for some users.  Be more verbose during
        failure to help track down the cause.

2003-11-22  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * ltmain.in: Check for module_cmds if max_cmd_len is exceeded too.

        * ltmain.in: Move eval to after command separation to allow ~ in paths.

        * tests/demo-hardcode.test: Call ./libtool not libtool.

        * ltmain.in: Test $old_striplib before using it, not $striplib.

2003-11-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * configure.ac (LASTRELEASE): Calculate it as best as we can from
        AC_PACKAGE_VERSION.
        * Makefile.am (distdir): Remove dependency on timestamps so that
        it is possible to roll a dist without contacting the cvs server.
        Use `make cvs-release' for that.
        (cvs-news): Extracted from cvs-dist.
        (cvs-dist): Depend on cvs-news.
        (CHECK_LASTRELEASE): Check LASTRELEASE has been set.
        (prev-tarball): New rule.  Use LASTRELEASE to make sure the
        previous release tarball is present.
        (cvs-diff): Use CHECK_LASTRELEASE.
        (xdelta): Ditto.
        (cvs-release): Depend on prev-tarball, timestamps, cvs-news and
        fetch. Provided you set LASTRELEASE appropriately, making a full
        cvs release is just a matter of `make cvs-release', and submitting
        the files to ftp-upload.

2003-11-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_LTMAIN): Ensure config.status has a
        value for `ac_aux_dir' when automake is not used.
        Reported by Patrick Welche <prlw1@newn.cam.ac.uk>.

        * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): AS_HELP_STRING was introduced after
        autoconf-2.57 was released.

2003-11-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlhandle_find): New function to find a handle
        by module name.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h (lt_dlhandle_find): Declare it.
        * doc/libtool.texi (User defined module data): Document it.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2003-11-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Uncomment call to
        _LT_CONFIG_COMMANDS.
        (_LT_AC_TAG_CONFIG, AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Accumulate tag generation
        for `config.status' using _LT_CONFIG_SAVE_COMMANDS.  Remove
        AC_MSG_NOTICE noise now that libtool is generated by a single
        config.status tag.
        * Makefile.am (libtool): Specify CONFIG_COMMANDS properly now that
        libtool is generated in one pass.

        * configure.ac (CONF_SUBDIRS): Make these relative to
        tests/Makefile.am.
        (DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST): Adjust to compensate for having removed the
        `tests/' part in CONF_SUBDIRS.
        * tests/Makefile.am (DIST_SUBDIRS): Distribute these directories.
        (SUBDIRS): Set to `.', a NOP, to workaround an automake bug which
        ignores DIST_SUBDIRS unless SUBDIRS is also set.
        * Makefile.am (DIST_SUBDIRS): Don't try to distribute the tests
        subdirectories from here, since the recursive automake dist rule
        only works with direct child directories.  Defer to
        tests/Makefile.am in this case.

2003-11-15  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: In compile mode, delay parsing of -shared, -static,
        -prefer-pic and -prefer-non-pic until after tagged configuration
        has been read.  In link mode, read tagged configuration before
        parsing any arguments.  These arguments will now work when using
        a non-C compiler.

2003-11-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * NEWS: Mention AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): List ChangeLog files correctly.

        * tests/cdemo/configure.ac, tests/demo/configure.ac,
        tests/depdemo/configure.ac, tests/f77demo/configure.ac,
        tests/mdemo/configure.ac, tests/mdemo2/configure.ac,
        tests/pdemo/configure.ac, tests/tagdemo/configure.ac: Declare just
        the tags we need using AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, reducing the size of the
        configure script by 50% in most cases.

2003-11-14  Marius Vollmer  <mvo@zagadka.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface): libltdl does in fact load
        dependency libs for lt_dlopen()ed modules.

2003-11-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Run our configure.ac files through Autoconf 2.59's autoupdate, and
        then tweak the results by hand:

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_PROG_LD): In common with all the other
        AC_PROG_ macros, AC_SUBST the discovered LD.
        (AC_PROG_NM): Similarly for NM.
        (LT_AC_PROG_SED): Similarly for SED.
        * configure.ac: No need to SUBST NM and LD manually any more.
        (AC_PREREQ): Conservatively downgrade from 2.59 to 2.54.
        * tests/cdemo/configure.ac, tests/demo/configure.ac,
        tests/depdemo/configure.ac, tests/f77demo/configure.ac,
        tests/mdemo/configure.ac, tests/mdemo2/configure.ac,
        tests/pdemo/configure.ac, tests/tagdemo/configure.ac: Ditto.
        * m4/libtool.m4 (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, AM_ENABLE_SHARED,
        AM_ENABLE_STATIC, AM_DISABLE_SHARED, AM_DISABLE_STATIC,
        AM_PROG_LD, AM_PROG_NM): AU_DEFUN these macros so autoupdate can
        use the newer definitions.

2003-11-12  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        The rules for uploading releases to gnu.org have been updated, and
        are in fact now rather complicated.  This delta updates the
        release instructions to the describe the new process, and updates
        the maintainer rules to help automate many of the steps:

        * README-alpha: Updated release instructions.
        * Makefile.am (GPG): Name of the program for generating signatures
        for files to be uploaded.
        (XDELTA, XDELTA_OPTIONS): Invocation of xdelta.
        (cvs-dist): Run distcheck before tagging the cvs tree incase
        distcheck fails, and then generate the gpg signature files.
        (cvs-diff): Generate the gpg signature files for the diff.
        (xdelta): New rule for generating the xdelta diffs and associated
        gpg signature files.
        (cvs-release): New rule to do all of the above, if you don't mind
        typing your gpg passphrase over and over again. :-)
        (fetch): New rule inspired by automakes similar rule for updating
        files maintained outside the project.
        * config/config.guess, config/config.sub: Updated with the new
        fetch rule.

2003-11-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlinit): Save a function call for each loader
        added to the list, in exchange for appending loaders to the list
        with O(N) rather than O(1).  The longest the loader list can ever
        get is 4 (on cygwin with dld installed) so it probably constitutes
        a small speedup, in addition to making the code much more readable.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Don't define the value for
        ltmain unconditionally.
        (_LT_PROG_LTMAIN): New macro to ensure that the
        shell variable `ltmain' actually points at a suitable `ltmain.sh'.
        (_AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): Require it.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG, _LT_AC_TAG_CONFIG): Invoke it.
        * Makefile.am (libtool): ltmain.sh is in the build tree.
        * libltdl/configure.ac: Ditto.

2003-11-10  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: Add -pthread and similar to $deplibs ($compile_deplibs
        and $finalize_deplibs for programs) when found on the command line
        or in a .la file's dependency_libs (but don't place them there) so
        they are honoured when linking both programs and libraries.

2003-11-10  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4  (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER) [linux]: Include
        directories found in /etc/ld.so.conf in sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec.

2003-11-09  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * ltmain.in (linkalldeplibs,darwin): Fix a bug reported by Idar
        Tollefsen where a dir could be added to the link line with no '-L'
        on darwin.

2003-11-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * tests/cdemo/configure.ac, tests/demo/configure.ac,
        tests/depdemo/configure.ac, tests/f77demo/configure.ac,
        tests/mdemo/configure.ac, tests/mdemo2/configure.ac,
        tests/pdemo/configure.ac, tests/tagdemo/configure.ac:
        s/AM_PROG_LIBTOOL/AC_PROG_LIBTOOL/. Marching boldly into the 21th
        century :-$

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, AC_ENABLE_SHARED,
        AC_DISABLE_SHARED, AC_ENABLE_STATIC, AC_DISABLE_STATIC,
        AC_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL, AC_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL, AM_PROG_LIBTOOL,
        AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_ENABLE_STATIC, AM_DISABLE_SHARED,
        AM_DISABLE_STATIC): These macros must be AC_DEFUNed after all,
        otherwise aclocal can't find them when it tries to construct
        `aclocal.m4'.

        * Makefile.am (install-data-local): Wipe out old installation
        pkgdatadir before installing new files.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * libtoolize.in (func_scan_files): If libtoolize is run before
        automake has created install-sh and configure.ac does not mention
        AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, fall back to the current directory for auxdir.

2003-11-07  Robert Millan  <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD) [GNU/KNetBSD]: Detect
        inter-library dependencies.

2003-11-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_FILE_LTDLL_C): Removed; no longer in use.

        * m4/libtool.m4: s/ifelse(/m4_if(/g
        (_LT_AC_SYS_LIBPATH_AIX, _LT_AC_SHELL_INIT,
        _LT_AC_PROG_ECHO_BACKSLASH, AC_LIBTOOL_LINKER_OPTION,
        AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS, _LT_AC_TAG_CHECK, _LT_AC_TAG_CONFIG,
        AC_ENABLE_SHARED, AC_DISABLE_SHARED, AC_ENABLE_STATIC,

        _LT_AC_TAGVAR, AM_PROG_LIBTOOL, AM_ENABLE_SHARED,
        AM_ENABLE_STATIC, AM_DISABLE_SHARED, AM_DISABLE_STATIC): Use
        m4_define instead of AC_DEFUN for internal macros that do not
        AC_PROVIDE or AC_REQUIRE, and documented user macros that cannot
        be AC_REQUIREd because they need arguments, or because that would
        violate the documented API.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): Add a new
        delay_single_quote_subst sed script to quote single quotes in
        variables that are copied to `config.status'.
        (_LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARE): New macro to apply
        delay_single_quote_subst to a named variable.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Use _LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARE to declare all
        `configure' variables that are copied to `config.status'.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_COMPILER_PIC): Fix a quoting bug exposed by
        _LT_CONFIG_STATUS_DECLARE using the null quadrigraph in the
        rvalues of lt_prog_compiler_pic.

2003-11-06  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE): Recognise the
        'R' symbol type so read-only symbols can be exported when combining
        GCC and Solaris LD.

2003-11-06  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>,
        Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) [Linux]: Fix the
        -export-symbols and -export-symbols-regex options.

2003-11-06  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * tests/demo-nopic.test: Skip test on hppa, which don't like
        non-PIC shared libraries.

2003-11-06  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * tests/depdemo/configure.ac, tests/mdemo/configure.ac,
        tests/mdemo2/configure.ac: process 'libtool --features'
        from Makefile, not configure -- because libtool doesn't
        exist at configure time.

        * ltmain.in (find_executable, check_executable) [cygwin*, mingw*]:
        binary wrapper used with uninstalled executables breaks when
        invoked via execlp/execvp (that is, via $PATH).  Handle that case.
        (fnqualify): Subsumed into find_executable.

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) [cygwin*, mingw*]:
        when extracting symbols from an import lib (occurs if
        --enable-shared --disable-static), the output of
        $global_symbol_pipe is not the same as  when extracting from a
        static library (the default case). Add extra filters to
        $export_symbols_cmds to process this sort of output in addition to
        'normal' static-lib output.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2003-11-06  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>,
        Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (LT_USE_POSIX_DIRENT): Factored out.
        (LT_USE_WINDOWS_DIRENT_EMULATION): Move to after include "ltdl.h",
        as they are affected by __WINDOWS__ definition.
        (LT_READTEXT_MODE): Use textmode to read .la files.
        (lt_dlinit): Use LoadLibrary loader as a fallback on cygwin.

2003-11-06  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.h (__WINDOWS__): Define this if _WIN32 or WIN32 are
        defined, unless __CYGWIN__ or __CYGWIN32__ are defined.
        (LT_SCOPE): Now set without reference to __CYGWIN__ definition,
        since __WINDOWS__ now implies !__CYGWIN__ after canonicalisation.
        (LT_PARAMS, lt_ptr): Use canonicalised __WINDOWS__ to determine
        which values to set these macros to.

2003-11-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * README-alpha: Mention autotools-announce@gnu.org, and update release
        note templates.

2003-11-01  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * ltmain.in: When relinking, place the -L parameter containing
        the installation prefix directory after the intended destination,
        so we don't accidentally link against an older installed library.

2003-11-01  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * tests/mdemo2/Makefile.am: Let mdemo2 find ltdl.h again.

2003-10-30  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (Darwin): Fix stupidities for darwin tags support.
        Makes it work again if AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS is specified in configure.ac.
        Bug reported by Joe Orton and Christian Schaffner.

2003-10-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Start to eliminate the double run of configure in a fresh CVS
        checkout by generating ltmain.sh, using that to create libtool,
        and then adding the tags to that, all from config.status.

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Make config/ltmain.sh, and copy
        it to libltdl.
        * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/config/ltmain.sh): This file is now
        created by config.status.  Adjust this rule.
        (libtoolize): Set CONFIG_COMMANDS to empty to prevent regenerating
        the libtool script as a side effect of running this rule.
        * libtool.m4: Bump serial number.  Fix comment typos.
        (_LT_CONFIG_LIBTOOL_INIT, _LT_CONFIG_LIBTOOL,
        _LT_CONFIG_SAVE_COMMANDS, _LT_CONFIG_COMMANDS: New macros.  They
        don't work for some reason - the variable value quoting in the
        init section is all wrong.  Not used at the moment.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_CONFIG): Generate libtool from config.status.
        (_LT_AC_TAG_CONFIG): Add the tags in config.status.
        (compiler_DEFAULT): Save the compiler value for the DEFAULT tag,
        or it gets overwritten by the other macros.
        (EOF): Globally replace with _LT_EOF to avoid namespace pollution.
        * tests/demo/configure.ac (STATIC): Check $enable_static instead
        of running ./libtool which doesn't exist yet.
        (BINARY_HELLDL): Check $lt_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe with case
        instead of grepping ./libtool which doesn't exist yet.
        * tests/pdemo/configure.ac (STATIC, BINARY_HELLDL): Ditto.
        * doc/libtool.texi (AC_PROG_LIBTOOL): Add some notes about trying
        to get config details from `libtool --config'.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2003-10-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ChangeLog, ChangeLog.0, ChangeLog.1: Refactored...
        * ChangeLog, ChangeLog.2002, ChangeLog.2001, ChangeLog.2000,
        ChangeLog.1999, ChangeLog.1998, ChangeLog.1997, ChangeLog.1996:
        ...into entries by year for easier copyright confirmation.

        * configure.ac, libltdl/configure.ac, tests/cdemo/configure.ac,
        tests/demo/configure.ac, tests/depdemo/configure.ac,
        tests/f77demo/configure.ac, tests/mdemo/configure.ac,
        tests/mdemo2/configure.ac, tests/pdemo/configure.ac,
        tests/tagdemo/configure.ac (AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE): Remove redundant
        arguments.
        * libltdl/configure.ac: Use quadrigraphs to escape macronames.

        * bootstrap (reconfdirs): Same as yesterday, only with portable
        bourne shell syntax.  :-/

2003-10-20  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * bootstrap (reconfdirs): Overridable top dirs for bootstrap, for
        those times when you don't want to wait for all of the test
        directories to be rebootstrapped!

2003-10-19  Kevin P. Fleming  <kpfleming@backtobasicsmgmt.com>
        Charles Wilson <cygwin@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        * ltmain.in: include --tag options, if specified, in the
        relink_command in uninstalled .la files.  Also, preserve --silent,
        --debug options when libtool re-execs itself.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2003-10-19  Charles Wilson  <cygwin@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        * libtoolize.in: protect sed expression against
        AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR_DEFAULT.

2003-10-16  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD): For MinGW, reverted DLL
        check method back to a working objdump-based test.  This is not as
        concrete a test as using the 'file' command, but it does not
        require that the 'file' command be available.

2003-10-15  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * doc/libtool.texi (AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS): Incorporate documentation
        for AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS macro to specifify libtool tags. The now
        defunct --with-tags option was never documented.

2003-10-15  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * m4/libtool.m4: Restrict the list of tags that can be created
        with a new AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS([tag1 tag2 ...]) macro. Deprecate
        --with-tags.

2003-10-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in: Typo when copying config.sub.
        From Patrick Welche <prlw1@newn.cam.ac.uk>

        * demo/Makefile.am (libhell0_a_SOURCES): Do not name sources
        already built with libtool...
        (libhell0_a_LIBADD): ...instead name the objects directly.  This
        prevents a long standing warning from automake 1.7+.
        * pdemo/Makefile.am (libhell0_a_SOURCES, libhell0_a_LIBADD):
        Ditto.

        * bootstrap: Make the fake files valid shell scripts with a
        comment incase they get left around.
        (LIBTOOLIZE): Use a dummy script to prevent the installed
        `libtoolize' from trashing the distributed libtool.m4,
        config.guess and config.sub.

        * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR, AC_CONFIG_TESTFILES): Comment
        this out for now, the autotest testsuite rewrite is not ready
        yet.

        * tests/cdemo/Makefile.am, tests/demo/Makefile.am,
        tests/depdemo/Makefile.am, tests/f77demo/Makefile.am,
        tests/mdemo/Makefile.am, tests/mdemo2/Makefile.am,
        tests/pdemo/Makefile.am, tests/tagdemo/Makefile.am (top_distdir):
        Removed. `autoreconf' needs literals in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS.

2003-10-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in (func_mkdir_p): Synch with tests/defs; if there
        are no more directories in the stack, break out of the loop.

        * tests/Makefile.am (COMMON_TESTS): Remove pdemo-unst.test, which
        isn't a real test.

2003-10-14  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Refactor all the test case common code into shell functions in
        tests/defs, and move the various demo directories out of
        $top_srcdir, and into tests too.  The refactoring showed up a
        number of inconsistencies and latent bugs, as well as fixing (I
        think!!) the long-standing annoyance with some of the tests giving
        spurious failures intermittently.  While I was here, emacs kindly
        removed a lot of bogus whitespace and added copyright notices for
        us:

        * cdemo, demo, depdemo, f77demo, mdemo, mdemo2, pdemo, tagdemo:
        Moved from here...
        * tests/cdemo, tests/demo, tests/depdemo, tests/f77demo,
        tests/mdemo, tests/mdemo2, tests/pdemo, tests/tagdemo: ...to
        here.
        * tests/defs: Factor much common functionality from the test
        scripts into shell functions.  Added a copyright notice.

2003-10-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in: AC_CONFIG_M4_DIR has landed in CVS autoconf.
        Only it's called AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR.  Search and replace.
        Grumble. ;-)

2003-10-08  Scott James Remnant  <scott@netsplit.com>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlerror): change return value when

2003-10-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in: Don't suppress output of PIC mode compile if
        -no-suppress option is given.

        * NEWS: Updated.

2003-10-07  Marcus Comstedt  <marcus@mc.pp.se>

        * NEWS: Updated.

2003-10-07  Ralph Schleicher  <rs@nunatak.allgaeu.org>

        * ltmain.in: Do not create `.o' objects when `-shared' is
        specified in compile mode.
        Do not make a static library when `-shared' is specified in link
        mode.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Compile mode): Document it.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        * doc/libtool.texi (Compile mode): Be more specific about the
        effect of `-static'.

        specified.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2003-10-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Invoking libtool): Updated.
        * ltmain.in: Add missing clean and finish modes to the shorthand

2003-10-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in: Completely rewritten.
        * Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Reduced to 1.7.  The 1.8
        requirement just made the distribution much smaller due to
        m4_includes.  1.7 will bootstrap libtool just fine.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        found.

2003-09-26  Alfred M. Szmidt  <ams@kemisten.nu>

        * mdemo2/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Include `$(top_srcdir)/../libltdl'
        instead of `../libltdl'.

2003-09-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * bootstrap: Rewritten to use autoreconf.
        * config.guess, config.sub, mkstamp:  Moved from here...
        * config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/mkstamp: ...to
        here, respectively.
        * libtool.m4, ltdl.m4: Moved from here...
        * m4/libtool.m4, m4/ltdl.m4: ...to here, respectively.

        files are no longer needed with automake 1.8.

        files are no longer needed with automake 1.8.
        (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Require CVS automake.
        (CONF_SUBDIRS, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, LIBS, FFLAGS, FLIBS):
        Automake now makes a Make variable from every AC_SUBST, so these
        are NOP.
        (aclocal_macros): These files are now in their own m4 subdir.
        Changed all clients.
        (EXTRA_DIST): mkstamp has moved to the new config subdir.  Changed
        all clients.
        (pkgdata_SCRIPTS): Ditto wrt config.guess and config.sub.
        (pkgdata_DATA): Ditto wrt ltmain.sh.
        * f77demo/configure.ac, libltdl/configure.ac (AM_CONFIG_HEADER):

        * mdemo2/main.c: Use LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS().
        * mdemo2/Makefile.am: Set INCLUDES properly and add -dlopen force
        to make sure the symbols file is included in the link line.

        * ltmain.in: Accept -framework for darwin and put it in
        dependency_libs. For non-installed .la's try to avoid having
        ./.libs/.libs/libfoo.so on the link line.

2003-09-10  Arne Woerner  <woerner@mediabase-gmbh.de>

        * libtool.m4 [openbsd]: openbsd 3.x needs versioning information.

2003-08-29  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * bootstrap: Typo.

2003-08-29  Alexandre Duret-Lutz  <adl@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG): Fix unquoted call to
        _LT_AC_LANG_C_CONFIG.
        (AC_PROG_EGREP): Remove, now that Libtool requires Autoconf 2.56.
        * bootstrap: Issue an upgrade warning.

2003-08-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_CHECK_DLFCN): Use the interrim new
        AC_CHECK_HEADER with compiler rather than preprocessor.
        (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): ...which was introduced in autoconf-2.56, so
        we AC_PREREQ that version.
        * ltdl.m4 (AC_WITH_LTDL, AC_LIB_LTDL, AC_LTDL_FUNC_ARGZ): Ditto.

2003-08-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Work around a bug in AU_ALIAS in CVS Autoconf that inserts a
        newline just before AC_FD_CC, by hand updating:

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_LTDL_SYMBOL_USCORE): s/AC_FD_CC/AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD/g.

        Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Much as we have tried not to make it the callers' responsibility
        to maintain an lt_dlrealloc function pointer, it is too difficult
        to implement realloc as malloc/memcpy/free without knowing the
        size of the original block.  rpl_realloc has been deprecated since
        2002-10-30, but kaffe has real failures with that so it's time to
        bite the bullet.  Caller gets to maintain lt_dlrealloc:

        * NEWS (1.5.1): Updated.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (LT_DLREALLOC): Use lt_dlrealloc so the user can
        update the function pointer to match lt_dlmalloc.
        (lt_emalloc): Use lt_dlrealloc rather than hardcoding realloc.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl interface): Describe lt_dlrealloc now
        that it too has become part of the exported interface to libltdl.

2003-08-01  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * libtool.m4 (darwin): Use "-undefined dynamic_lookup" if the
        user set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 10.3 or greater.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (dyld): Save the error from the first lookup
        to report in lt_dlerror(). Otherwise the error is always
        "Symbol _foo not in /usr/lib/libSystem.dylib".
        Thanks to Chris Zubrzycki for reporting this.

2003-08-01  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.h: Tweak the header to support visual studio.

2003-07-31  Greg Eisenhauer  <eisen@cc.gatech.edu>

        * ltmain.in: Provide absolute paths for dlopen and dlpreopen

        * configure.ac, bootstrap, tests/Makefile.am: Accomodate new
        test directory.
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: Build libmlib.la for mdemo2 tests.

2003-07-30  Tony Wyatt <wyattaw@optushome.com.au>

        template files.

2003-07-24  Robert Millan  <robertmh@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4: More fixes for the new GNU/FreeBSD triplet.

2003-07-14  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_CHECK_LIBM): Search for a real symbol in
        the math library rather than 'main', it causes problems for
        C++ compilers with certain Auto* tools.
        (AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE): ditto.

        * ltmain.in: add code for a binary wrapper
        to use with uninstalled executables on cygwin/mingw.
        Make sure that --mode=clean gets shell wrapper and
        binary wrapper.  When sourcing the shell wrapper,
        invoke using a terminal `.' on cygwin/mingw to
        avoid the automatic append-.exe behavior.

        Credit to Ross! Use +b to hardcode library runtime path.
        Add new variable, $hardcode_libdir_flag_spec_ld, that
        is equivalent to $hardcode_libdir_flag_spec but is used
        when ld is used for linking. This works around having to
        set wl=''.

        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  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * 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  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * 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 <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4: Sync methods used to detect GNU ld.

2002-12-20  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_COMPILER_OPTION,
        AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_CC_C_O): Do not escape } or ? in sed argument.

2002-12-19  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * 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  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4: Move AC_REQUIRE([LT_AC_PROG_SED]) to AC_PROG_LD
        so it is invoked earlier.

2002-12-11  Allan Sandfeld Jensen  <snowwolf@one2one-networks.com>

        * libtool.m4: Add support for Intel icc compiler for Linux.

2002-12-11  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in: Revert the version +1 change for IRIX, it could
        cause compatibility problems.

2002-11-22  Christian Cornelssen  <ccorn@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * 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  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        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/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  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * 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  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * 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  <jakub@redhat.com>

        * 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  <aj@suse.de>, Bo Thorsen  <bo@suse.de>

        * 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  <akim@epita.fr>

        * ltmain.in: Do not change the PATH in the wrappers: let them
        launch the real binary using its path.

2002-11-18  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Library tips): Note array dimensions.

2002-11-18  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * 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  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * 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  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi: Add --mode=* to every example using libtool.

2002-11-03  Ossama Othman  <ossama@doc.ece.uci.edu>

        * ltmain.in: add support for installing into temporary
        staging area (e.g. 'make install DESTDIR=...')

2002-11-03  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * 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  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Install mode): document new
        -inst-prefix option.

2002-11-02  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * 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  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * 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  <rlb@defaultvalue.org>

        * 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  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in (-XCClinker): New flag passes a linking option
        directly to the compiler driver without appending ${wl}.

2002-10-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <hyc@highlandsun.com>

        * ltmain.in [aix]: Be sure to deal with xlc_r, cc_r and other
        compiler variants.

2002-10-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * 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  <asuffield@debian.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopenext): Corrected sense of "file not
        found" check.

2002-10-24  Ossama Othman  <ossama@doc.ece.uci.edu>

        * ltmain.in: Support compiler names matching g++*

2002-10-23  Bob Friesenhahn  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * libtool.m4: Removed old Windows cruft.
        * libtool.m4: Adapted pw32 to be like Cygwin/MinGW.

2002-10-23  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        ltmain.in: Do not add 1 to the version under IRIX, it is
        not necessary.

2002-10-15  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * 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 <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * 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 <soggytrousers@yahoo.com>

        * 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  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * 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  <Christoph_Egger@gmx.de>

        * 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  <soggytrousers@yahoo.com>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP): GCC now checks -shared to
        create a dll for Windows targets.

2002-09-24  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in: Fixed a few spelling errors.

2002-09-17  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * 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  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4: Custom $symcode for Tru64 UNIX to catch 'Q',
        read-only constants.

2002-09-09  Rainer Orth  <ro@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.de>

        * 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  <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * ltdl.m4 & libltdl/ltdl.c: Port fully to native Win32 API.

2002-07-31  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * f77demo/.cvsignore: New file, forgotten in the last commit.

2002-07-31  Eric Lindahl  <erik@theophys.kth.se>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <bfreisen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * 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  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * 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  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * 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  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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 <bfreisen@simple.dallas.tx.us>
        and Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>

2002-06-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in (irix, nonstopux): Set major before use.

2002-06-11  Daniel Kobras  <kobras@linux.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (try_dlopen): Don't return bogus handle to user

2002-05-31  Charles Wilson  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * 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.

        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  <cwilson@ece.gatech.edu>

        * tests/build-relink2.test: look for installed libl3.la
        in $prefix/lib/ as well as $prefix/lib/extra/.

2002-05-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        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  <jonm@alchemetrics.co.uk>

        * 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  <skrll@netbsd.org>

        * 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  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * 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  <eggert@twinsun.com>

        * 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  <rittle@latour.rsch.comm.mot.com>

2002-04-24  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN): Use $build_os not $host_os.

2002-04-14  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi (C++ libraries): Finally updated to reflect

2002-04-14  Jean-Frederic Clere  <jfrederic.clere@fujitsu-siemens.com>

        * libtool.m4: Update support for Fujistu-Siemens Computers (FSC).
        * ltmain.in: Add support for EBCDIC based systems.

2002-04-07  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * 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  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * ltmain.in: Finish the tag matching logic started yesterday and
        refactor it a bit.

2002-04-01  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        * 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  <rboehne@gnu.org>

2002-03-14  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@gnu.org>

        ltmain.in: Touch-up to make testsuite pass, and default tagname
        to CC when it isn't explicitly set.

2002-03-14  Anthony Green  <green@redhat.com>

        * 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  <bkorb@gnu.org>

2002-02-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * NEWS: Updated.
        * THANKS: Added Rob Collins and Chuck Wilson for their cygwin
        work.

        From Robert Collins  <robert.collins@itdomain.com.au>:
        * 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.
        * ltmain.in (specialdeplibs) [cygwin]: Be careful about
        eliminating duplicate -lgcc's from the link line.
        [cygwin]: Be smarter about .exe suffixes.
        * demo/configure.ac (AC_EXEEXT, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL):  Support
        DOSish systems properly.
        * depdemo/configure.ac (AC_EXEEXT, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL):  Ditto.

        * tests/demo-inst.test: Ditto.
        * demo/foo.h [cygwin]: Sanitize cygwin dll support.

        Reverted incorrect patch:
        2001-10-24  H.J. Lu  <hjl@gnu.org>
        * ltmain.sh: Allow link against an archive when building a

        * libtool.m4 (lt_cv_deplibs_check_method): Always use
        file_magic for Linux ELF.

2002-01-30  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

        * libtool.m4 (LT_AC_PROG_SED): Removed a mysterious newline.

2002-01-28  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

        * 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  <voc@soft.uni-linz.ac.at>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (find_handle_callback): treat the result of a call

        ftp.gnu.org.

2001-12-06  Jens Petersen  <petersen@redhat.com>

        * ltmain.in: Replace all test "-a"s by "&& test"
        for portability.

2001-11-28  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN): Change the
        factor of saftey as 3/4 of the result was not low enough.

2001-11-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.in: The test for whether AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is defined
        in aclocal.m4 had bitrotted slightly.

2001-11-27  Donald D. Anderson  <dda@sleepycat.com>

        * ltmain.in: Treat freebsd like openbsd, in that -lc/-lc_r should
        not be explicitly used.  ld handles this depending on the presence
        of the -pthread option.

2001-11-27  Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

        With help from Michael Matz <matz@kde.org>:
        * ltmain.in:  Add a new command line argument

2001-11-27  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN): Send "test"
        warnings to /dev/null, helps FreeBSD and maybe others.

2001-11-15  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libtool.m4: quote LTCC because autoconf AC_PROG_CC_STDC
        macro might add to $CC if options needed by compiler to
        grok ANSI.

2001-11-15  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Joseph S. Myers  <jsm28@cam.ac.uk>:
        * ltmain.in: Typo.

2001-11-15   Mo DeJong  <supermo@bayarea.net>

        * 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.

2001-10-31  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        $version_type == nonstopux.

2001-10-28  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (foreach_dirinpath): change some types to size_t
        from int because strlen() returns size_t. argz_len changed to
        size_t because argzize_path() takes 3rd argument as size_t, not
        int.
        Based on lint run from Bob Friesenhahn <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

2001-10-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_TAGCONFIG): Cray sed does not allow character
        sets to contain the separator character.
        Reported by Kevin Ryde <user42@zip.com.au>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_WITH_LTDL): New macro to add `--with-included-ltdl'

        append the right options to link it.

2001-10-24  Kevin Ryde  <user42@zip.com.au>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS): Remove a stray ' quote.

2001-10-04  Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>

        (add static initializer to file_not_found).

2001-09-30  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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 <tml@iki.fi>

2001-09-22  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * 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  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>:
        * 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 <cp@chrisp.de>

2001-09-21  Albert Chin-A-Young  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        from HP-UX cc.

2001-09-21  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Added support for dmalloc, and uncovered some
        memory bugs as a result.

2001-09-21  Albert Chin  <china@thewrittenword.com>

        * 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  <assar@sics.se>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Check for assert.h.

2001-09-11  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtool.m4: No need to undefine([symbols]), proper quotation is
        enough.

2001-09-10  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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.

        * 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  <aoliva@redhat.com>) 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 <mpruett@engr.sgi.com>:
        * 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 <danielj7@mac.com>:
        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) [darwin*]: Move from GNU

        Using both targets to the left of the colon seems to work though!

2001-09-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Based on a patch from Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.ping.de>:
        * 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  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_LD_SHLIBS) Fixed a problem

        * 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  <brad@comstyle.com>

        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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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

        (lt_dlpath_insertdir): Insert new path elements into an

        linux-style versioning, and remove trailing .o from soname_spec.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <peter_e@gmx.net>

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

        * ltmain.in (ILD): tidy up, add comments, remove dead code,

          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  <gary@gnu.org>

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

        From Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu>
        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Make sure the *.test

        directory.

2001-04-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

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

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

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

        From Christoph Pfisterer <cp@chrisp.de>

        around zsh builtin echo \ escape removal.

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

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

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

2001-04-22  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltdl.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): UW7 has sys/dl.h, so we must

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2001-04-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Ahmed Masud <masud@googgun.com>
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (sys_shl_open):  Return a NULL module handle
        for self opening.

        discard the modified module address it returns.

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

2001-03-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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.

        AC_PROG_LIBTOOL.

        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.

2001-03-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
        * libtool.m4 (export_symbols): On Windows, if the export_symbols

        time around!

        From Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>

2001-03-06  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

        * libtool.m4 (can_build_shared) [AIX 4.[01], GCC]: GCC up to

        Reported by Robert Boehne  <rboehne@ricardo-us.com>

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

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

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

        `['.
        (archive_cmds): And another one.

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

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

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

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

        * 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  <skrll@netbsd.org>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2000-12-14  Michael Schmitz  <mschmitz@iname.com>

        * 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  <nobori@ss.titech.ac.jp>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * libtool.m4 (netbsd): Improved support.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * doc/PLATFORMS: Updated.

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * Makefile.am:  Don't generate ltmain.sh or ltconfig anymore.
        * bootstrap: ltconfig is no more!
        * configure.in: Call AC_PROG_LIBTOOL directly.
        (AC_OUTPUT): Generate tmain.sh.
        * libtool.m4: Don't build an argument list for ltconfig.
        (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK):  Refactoring of the former contents of
        ltconfig.in to take advantage of the m4 macros from autoconf.
        * ltmain.in: Don't do a version check against ltconfig.
        * tests/assign.test: Remove reference to ltconfig.
        * tests/hardcode.test: ditto.
        * tests/sh.test: ditto.

2000-09-05  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

        * depdemo/main.c: Support -alt.
        * tests/build-relink2.test: Try it.

        * ltconfig.in: Removed all references to what used to be
        hardcode_into_libs=all.  2000-09-03's patch was wrong.
        * ltmain.in: Likewise.
        * tests/build-relink.test, tests/build-relink2.test: Adjust.
        * mdemo/Makefile.am (lib_LTLIBRARIES): Move libsub.la before
        libfoo2.la, so that they're installed in the right order.

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

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

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

        * ltconfig.in (need_lc): Preserve allow_undefined_flag.

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

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

        * ltconfig.in (hardcode_libdir_flag_spec, export_dynamic_flag_spec):
        Use ${wl}, not ${wlarc}.

        * ltmain.in (compile, need_lock): Don't create nor remove lock
        files in dry runs.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (load_deplibs): Don't append shlib_ext; use
        lt_dlopenext() instead.

        * ltmain.in (link -static): Don't add $link_static_flag; only
        -all-static should do that.
        * mdemo/configure.in: Revert part of the previous delta.

        * mdemo/configure.in: Don't use -static on AIX4.1.
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: Likewise.

2000-09-03  Alexandre Oliva  <aoliva@redhat.com>

        * ltconfig.in: Get rid of hardcode_into_libs=all; use
        hardcode_into_libs=yes && shlibpath_overrides_runpath!=yes
        instead.
        [FreeBSD 3.[01]] (shlibpath_overrides_runpath): Set to no.
        * ltmain.in: Likewise.
        * tests/build-relink.test, tests/build-relink2.test: Adjust.

        * libtool.m4: Fix typo I introduced in yesterday's patch.

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): Set dlname from library_names if
        dlname is empty.

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

        * tests/mdemo-exec.test: Modify failure message.

        * ltmain.in (newdlprefiles): Use dlname if it's available and
        old_library isn't; use linklib only if dlname is not available.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * ltdl.m4: Oops, I had forgotten to commit this part of Syd Polk's
        patch from 2000-06-17.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2000-08-01  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@lsd.ic.unicamp.br>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1999-06-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1999-06-18  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1999-06-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

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

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

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

1999-06-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

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

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

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

1999-06-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        objects.
        * NEWS: Ditto.

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

        * NEWS: Mention the two bugfixes below.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          Linux and Solaris since no one can reproduce the famous deplibs
          bug
        * ltmain.in: preserve $CC (reported by Tom Tromey),
          strip libraries using GNU strip if it's available and the

        libltdl without creating links or mode 777 directories.
        * instutil/*: deleted.

1999-05-21  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        Call AC_BEFORE here, and now with two arguments, since these do
        change the default.
        (AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE, AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE): Fix calls to
        AC_BEFORE.

1999-04-28  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1999-04-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * TODO: -Wl and -Wc options.

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

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: Remove trivial warnings.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * NEWS: improved support for AIX and HP/UX

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

        * doc/libtool.texi: documented deplibs.test

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1999-03-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

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

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

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

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

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

1999-03-23  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1999-03-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

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

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

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

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

1999-03-17  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1999-03-15  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * configure.in, libtool.spec, NEWS: bump to 1.3a
        * Branched for release 1.3 (branch-1-3)
        * configure.in, libtool.spec, NEWS: bump to 1.2g

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

        * ltmain.in: silence ``unbug'' :-) detected by sh.test

1999-03-14  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * TODO: we now use full pathnames for `file'

1999-03-14  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * TODO: libltdl is now documented
        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltmain.in (deplibs_check_method=none): discard -L and -R
        switches when testing whether deplibs contains some library

1999-03-14  Erez Zadok  <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: removed FILENAME_MAX since LTDL_FILENAME_MAX
          is sufficient and doesn't break HP/UX

1999-03-11  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * ltmain.in: when building a library it doesn't make
          sense to remove a relinked program ("lt-" prefix)

1999-03-11  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (strdup): cannot return str when it's NULL
        because of const correctness

1999-03-10  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>

1999-03-10  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): don't hardcode the length of the
          constant strings

1999-03-09  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <gary@gnu.org>

        * NEWS: updated.

1999-03-08  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi (tests): documented demo-nofast.test and
          renamed cdemo* to demo*

1999-03-08  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <archie@whistle.com>

        * ltconfig.in (archive_expsym_cmds, solaris, without_gnu_ld):
        $lib.exp already starts with $objdir/
        Reported by Godmar Back <gback@cs.utah.edu>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltmain.in (file_magic_regex): sed `10q' is faster than `11,$d'

1999-02-22  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <f94sbu@efd.lth.se>

        * ltmain.in: fix typos in my last change (s/ocmpile/compile/)

1999-02-21  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <kushn@mail.kar.net>

1999-02-20  Vladimir Kushnir <kushn@mail.kar.net>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * doc/libtool.texi: remove ticks from menu items; it breaks TeX
        Reported by Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.columbia.edu>

        * 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  <archie@whistle.com>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): use newhandle instead of handle
        where appropriate, when dlopening a non-libtool library

1999-02-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * ltconfig.in (archive{,_sym}_commands): Be careful not to
        re-export the dll entry points DllMain@12, _cygwin_dll_entry@12 and
        _cygwin_noncygwin_dll_entry@12 to avoid bugs with the wrong entry
        function being called with inter-dll dependencies.
        Reported by DJ Delorie <dj@delorie.com>
        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * *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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <demaille@inf.enst.fr>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (tryall_dlopen): strcmp filenames was reversed

1999-02-11  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * ltconfig.in: according to Marcus Sundberg <mackan@stacken.kth.se>
          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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <gback@cs.utah.edu>

1999-02-04  Godmar Back  <gback@cs.utah.edu>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopenext): missing space for terminator when
        allocating memory for shlib_ext

1999-02-03  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopenext): tmp would be trashed if shlib_ext
        was longer than 3 characters

1999-02-02  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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 <pooh@msu.ru>

1999-01-27  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * libtoolize.in: search for A[MC]_PROG_LIBTOOL, not
        AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
        Reported by Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

1999-01-27  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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 <sam.vilain@nz.unisys.com>

1999-01-27  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c: allocate the variables in lt_dlopen() dynamically

1999-01-25  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <sdh@po.cwru.edu>

        * 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 <Axel.Thimm@physik.fu-berlin.de>
        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <Edouard.Parmelan@France.NCR.COM>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <pavel_roskin@geocities.com>

1999-01-22  Edouard G. Parmelan  <Edouard.Parmelan@France.NCR.COM>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * THANKS: Added Chris Laas <golem@MIT.EDU>

        From Chris Laas <golem@MIT.EDU>
        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <ezk@shekel.mcl.cs.columbia.edu>

        * ltmain.in: s/n\'t/ not/
        * doc/PLATFORMS: updates for sunos4/m68k and aix

1999-01-20  Andrey Slepuhin  <pooh@msu.ru>

        -bnoentry option to linker when building a shared library

1999-01-20  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * ltmain.in (file_magic): follow soft-links before running `file'
        on the candidate library; try to avoid entering endless loop
        Suggested by Nix <nix@esperi.demon.co.uk>

        * 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 <sms@wlv.iipo.gtegsc.com>

        (bsdi4*, sys_lib_search_path): add /shlib and other dirs

1999-01-20  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * TODO: Added inter-library deps for ltlibs.

        * THANKS: Added Vladimir Kushnir.

1999-01-20  Vladimir Kushnir  <kushn@mail.kar.net>

        * ltconfig.in (freebsd3*): Define `deplibs_check_method' and
        `file_magic_command' for freebsd-elf.

1999-01-20  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <sms@wlv.iipo.gtegsc.com> (bsdi4*)

        * ltconfig.in (sysv5*): same as sysv4.3*

1999-01-20  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>
        * 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 <pooh@msu.ru>
        * ltmain.in (hardcode_action) make sure deplibs is set to include
        all the extra libs added to compile_command.

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

1999-01-17  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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
          LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS(),
          added lt_dladdsearchdir(), lt_dlsetsearchpath() and
          lt_dlgetsearchpath()
        * libtool.m4: some reformatting
        * libtoolize.in: implemented --ltdl, bugfix when checking for
          the libtool package directory
        * ltconfig.in: removed $thread_safe_flags from Andrey Slepuhin's
          AIX patch, renamed sys_lib_search_path to sys_lib_search_path_spec,
          some reformatting, fixed typo in deplibs_check_method (unkwnon)

          renamed -avoid-versioning to -avoid-version
          renamed sys_lib_search_path to sys_lib_search_path_spec
        * mdemo/Makefile.am: use -avoid-version
        * mdemo/main.c: use LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS and
          LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS()

1999-01-17  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <ben@ben.com>
        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        From Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>
        * libtoolize.in (cd $pkgdatadir): Make sure we return the the
        working directory when this is done.

        From Andrey Slepuhin <pooh@msu.ru>
        * 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 <pooh@msu.ru>.

1999-01-15  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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 <snowball3@usa.net>

        * cdemo/README: typo: mdemo->cdemo

1999-01-14  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * mdemo/Makefile.am (../libltdl/libtool): mkdir and configure
        ../libltdl

1999-01-13  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * 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  <Edouard.Parmelan@France.NCR.COM>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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

        (i586-ncr-sysv4.3*) with native compiler.
        * README, doc/libtool.texi: Added note for NCR MP-RAS compiler.

1999-01-12  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * configure.in (ltdl-install): Fixed up the indentation so that
        `configure --help' is pretty again.

1999-01-11  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <gback@cs.utah.edu>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): missing strlen in bound test

1999-01-09  Thomas Tanner  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * doc/libtool.texi (old_archive_from_new_commands): Documented
        this ltcofig variable.

1999-01-07  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <gary@gnu.org>

        * 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 <jgarzik@pobox.com>.

1999-01-05  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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  <tanner@gmx.de>

        * NEWS: new BeOS support
        * THANKS: added Joseph Beckenbach
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: use dllimport/export on Win32

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

1998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>

        * 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  <ian@cygnus.com>

        * 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 @SHELL@.
        * 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  <ian@cygnus.com>

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

1998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>

        * 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  <ian@cygnus.com>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * libtool.m4 (sco): fix typo

1998-11-04  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>

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

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

        * 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  <ian@cygnus.com>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * THANKS: Added Marc J. Fraioli

1998-11-04  Marc J. Fraioli  <fraioli@dg-rtp.dg.com>

        * ltconfig.in (dgux): new supported platforms

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

        * 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  <eric@via.ecp.fr>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

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

1998-11-03  Eric Estievenart <eric@via.ecp.fr>

        * ltmain.in (output_obj): typo

1998-11-02  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

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

1998-11-02  Eric Estievenart <eric@via.ecp.fr>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

        * 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 <robertl@dgii.com>

1998-10-31  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@trick.fig.org>

        * 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  <oliva@dcc.unicamp.br>

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

1998-10-27  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@trick.fig.org>

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

1998-09-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@trick.fig.org>

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

1998-08-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@trick.fig.org>

        * 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
        to move a file to itself.  From Jeff Dairiki.

1998-08-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@trick.fig.org>

        * ltconfig.in: Make changes to accomodate ltmain.c.

        * Makefile.am (clibtool): New target for the C version of libtool.

        * ltmain.c: Experimental C version of libtool.

1998-07-10  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian@cygnus.com>

        * ltmain.in (install): Test against both $SHELL and /bin/sh.

1998-06-30  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@trick.fig.org>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <ian@cygnus.com>

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

1998-05-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <ian@cygnus.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

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

1998-04-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <ian@cygnus.com>

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

1998-04-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

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

1998-03-23  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

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

1998-03-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <ian@cygnus.com>

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

1998-03-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * Release 1.2.

1998-03-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

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

1998-03-14  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>

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

1998-03-09  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

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

1998-02-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

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

1998-02-23  Brendan Kehoe  <brendan@cygnus.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

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

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

1998-02-07  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <sam@inf.enst.fr>

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

1998-02-06  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

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

1998-01-28  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

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

1998-01-27  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

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

1998-01-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

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

1998-01-11  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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.

1997-12-19  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

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

1997-12-18  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@profitpress.com>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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 <bug-libtool@gnu.org>.

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.org>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <ian@cygnus.com>

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

1997-09-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-09-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-08-22  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-08-21  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-07-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-06-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-06-20  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Tell people to report bugs to the new libtool mailing list,
        <bug-libtool@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.

1997-06-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-04-25  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-04-16  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-04-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-04-05  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-02-17  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-02-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-02-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-02-03  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * Release 0.8.

1997-01-24  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-01-22  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-01-08  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1997-01-06  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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.

1996-12-17  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1996-12-12  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1996-12-09  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1996-11-15  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

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

1996-11-10  Gordon Matzigkeit  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * 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  <gord@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

        * For historical reasons: this is when I started writing libtool.
