//usr/share/doc/libtool-2.2.6/ChangeLog.1996

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.
