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 - - * libltdl/ltdl.c (sys_wll_close): Strangely enough, Microsoft have - decided that LoadLibrary returns `0' for success, yet FreeLibrary - returns `0' for failure!

On FreeBSD 3.1, it does. :-( - * libltdl/configure.in: Likewise. - * NEWS: Note work-around. - Reported by Pavel Roskin - -1999-06-09 Gary V. Vaughan - - * 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 - -1999-06-09 Pavel Roskin - - * ltconfig.in (exeext): Use quotes in the test, to prevent a - failure in sh.test. - -1999-06-09 Gary V. Vaughan - - * 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. - -1999-06-08 Gary V. Vaughan - - * 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 - - * ltconfig.in: Support new GNU ld --help output format. - * NEWS: Likewise. - Reported by Gaël Quéri and - H.J.

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.
