Libtool 1.5.22

Summary

Description: Generic library build and installation tool
Source: http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/

Support

This package is available for all platforms. This package is unsupported and provided on an as-is basis.

Description

GNU Libtool simplifies the developer's job in building programs and libraries by encapsulating both the platform-specific dependencies, and the user interface, in a single script. It hides the complexities of building and installing shared libraries from the user. GNU Libtool is designed so that the complete functionality of each host type is available via a generic interface, but nasty quirks are hidden from the programmer.

Changes

Fix -static linking. Fix file ownership for BSD 'ranlib'. Fix setting of shlibpath variables. Fix silent failure of 'libtoolize -ltdl' when libltdl wasn't present. Various other bug fixes.

Fix long-standing Solaris CC limitation failing with -no-undefined. Fix another regression with ownership of libltdl data files. Work around breakage on Tru64 due to shell bugs.
