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

	* 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

	* 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

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.

	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.

	* 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.
