* build-aux/ltmain.in: Append argument to error message to make it
easier to understand, and edit message of each instance where
run-paths are not absolute to better reflect the issue occurring
to the user.
Append '-no_fixup_chains' flag to disable chained fixups since it
is not compatible with '-undefined dynamic_lookup'.
* m4/libtool.m4: AC_VAR_APPEND will handle appending the option to
the variable, which allows the '+=' extension to be used by shells
that provide this capability for more efficient scaling. Also, bump
minimum required version of autoconf from 2.62 to 2.64.
* tests/no-executables.at: Set cache variable for link test.
* NO-THANKS: Add thanks for Carlo Cabrera and Dave Allured.
When building native GCC for the x86_64-w64-mingw32 host, the
compiler copies its library DLLs to the `bin` directory. However,
in the case of a multilib configuration, both 32-bit and 64-bit
libraries end up in the same `bin` directory, leading to conflicts
where 64-bit DLLs are overridden by their 32-bit counterparts.
This patch addresses the issue by adjusting the installation path
for the libraries. Specifically, it installs the libraries to
separate directories: `lib` for 64-bit and `lib32` for 32-bit. This
behavior aligns with how libraries are installed when creating an
x86_64-w64-mingw32 cross-compiler without copying them to the `bin`
directory if it is a multilib build.
* m4/libtool.m4: Install DLL to $(libdir), not $(libdir)/bin, if
multilib build.
This changes the C function prototypes to use void where needed. When
building with CFLAGS=-Werror=strict-prototypes or similar, the libtool's
tests can cause false reports and errors in the log files:
error: function declaration isn't a prototype
* m4/libtool.m4: Specify void for main function prototypes.
* m4/ltdl.m4: Specify void for main and fnord function prototypes.
Numerous test failures on windows/cygwin/mingw result with:
did not find the 'nothing' variable
A syntax fix resolves these test failures for 64-bit windows-
based systems.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Alter syntax in sed command.
Building the documentation contains this warning:
libtool.texi:1333: warning: @pxref node name should not contain `.'
Now, users will be linked to the top of the autoconf manual and need
to manually scroll to the section specified.
* doc/libtool.texi: Specify section header instead of duplicating
autoconf manual name.
When linking on NetBSD, the test fails to locate a shared version of
gcc, so a static version of the module is generated, which does not pass
the defined checks. A FIXME note has been added for future debugging.
* tests/flags.at: Skip passing CXX flags test on NetBSD.
Without the no-undefined flag, the test will fail on Mingw and
Cygwin, so the flag will be appended for windows compilation. With
the flag, the test will fail on NetBSD, so the flag is removed.
* tests/bug_62343.at: Add no-undefined flag for windows-based
compilation and remove otherwise.
The compiler fails with the -no-canonical-prefixes flag in certain
environments. Check if the flag is supported in the current environment
and skip the test if it is not supported.
* tests/bug_62343.at: Skip test if -no-canonical-prefixes is unsupported
in the current environment.
AC_CHECK_TOOL was changed to AC_CHECK_PROG however the arguments are
different and this result is a value of ":". Change this to match the
original intent.
The lack of FILECMD was causing failures for mips64 builds as -m elf was
being passed to LD which isn't supported on our targets.
* testsuite.at: $as_echo was deprecated in Autoconf commit 2b59b6f8a.
AS_ECHO uses printf which has been well supported for 15 to 20
years. Use of $as_echo was resulting in a warning message in the
testsuite logs, and replacing the deprecated macro removes the
warning messages.
* tests/libtoolize.at: When -program-prefix is used, stdout for the
program changes from the expected output. As a result, the test
fails. Replaced the transformed name to account for program-prefix.
When using a sysroot we should append it to libdir, which is helpful in
cross builds as the system is staged in the sysroot. For normal builds,
i.e. when lt_sysroot is not set, it will still behave the same and add
-L/usr/lib to the relink command.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Prepend sysroot to libdir.
Using clang with fsanitize results in an incompatible ASan runtime.
It results in the warning message "linked against incompatible ASan
runtimes". This only occurs with the mixed Fortran/C demo.
* tests/f77demo.at: Skip tests for clang compiling with fsanitize.
* tests/fcdemo.at: Skip tests for clang compiling with fsanitize.
A supplementary branch for development and testing has been added. Some
CI checks for different architectures will be done via Github:
- https://github.com/gnu-libtool/ci-check
This will be used to help expedite testing and ensure the source code is
ready to be released.
A function used in a test was not returning a value, while an int was
expected so the test would fail to compile.
tests/resident.at: Return the result of atexit().
When the configure option "--disable-shared" is used, this test will be
skipped since no libtool libs are built.
tests/bug_62343.at: Check if build_libtool_libs is set to no.
Several warning messages have been updated to use func_warning rather
than echo. This will allow them to be disabled properly.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Replace echo command with func_warning function.
By default, CATEGORY is set to "all" for all of the warning messages to
be output to standard error. CATEGORY can be set to "none" to disable
warnings.
* doc/libtool.texi: Document "W" or "--warnings=CATEGORY" option.
When using the -no-canonical-prefixes flag in libtool, the flag is
removed from the linking command, causing linking to fail. This adds
the flag to the list of linker flags to be passed through to the
linker.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Pass -no-canonical-prefixes to the linker.
* Makefile.am: Added in tests/bug_62343.at.
* tests/bug_62343.at: Contains test case for bug 62343.
This is cleanup for libtool. The option test_compile is not used in
libtool, and the documentation states that it would probably be dropped
in the future.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Remove case statement for test_compile.
* doc/libtool.texi: Remove test_compile from documentation.
* m4/libtool.m4: Remove test_compile definition from macro file.
The HACKING file lists some files not to edit that are part of gnulib.
The contents for this list has been expanded to include various files,
including some m4 files.
* HACKING: Added other symbolic links to list of files not to edit.
The libtool documentation is still lacking several test case
descriptions for tests/*demo.at Autotest files.
* doc/libtool.texi: Add missing test case descriptions.
A comment in the libtool manual specifies a TODO for fixing the font
size of the ++ symbol in the TOC. This is fixed by wrapping the
symbol in a @code command, and this TODO can be removed.
* doc/libtool.texi: Wrap ++ in a @code command to fix font in TOC.
