+ * TODO: removed ILD, soon to be merged, and added convenience
+ libraries docs
+
* ltconfig.in (irix5*, irix6*, shlibpath_overides_runpath): yes
* ltmain.in: remove on-demand executable in the proper place, and
For next public release:
************************
-* Inter-library dependencies should be fully tracked by libtool.
-Reminded by Alexandre Oliva. This requires looking up installed
-libtool libraries for transparent support.
-Thomas Tanner has a patch for this.
-
-* Inter-library dependencies need to work for ltlibraries too.
-Thomas Tanner has a patch for this.
-
-* Alexandre Oliva suggests that we hardcode paths into libraries, as
-well as binaries: `... -Wl,-soname -Wl,/tmp/libtest.so.0 ...'. Tim
-Mooney wants the same thing.

+* Alexandre Oliva suggests that we should have an option to hardcode
+paths into libraries, as well as binaries: `... -Wl,-soname
+-Wl,/tmp/libtest.so.0 ...'. Tim Mooney wants the same thing.
* Tom Lane adds that HP-UX's linker, at least (I've also found this on
AIX 4), distinguishes between global function and global variable
references. This means that we cannot declare every symbol as `extern
char'. Find a workaround.
-* Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com> noticed that libtool wrapper scripts do
-not always work on Linux. When running tests in a newly built package, the
-script is prone to picking up a similarly sonamed library in /usr/lib in
-preference to the newly built library in the distribution. The scripts *do*
-work under Solaris however.
-
* Documentation:
- libltdl documentation needs to be completed.
- AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, AC_ENABLE/DISABLE_SHARED/STATIC, AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
are not documented.
+- Purpose and usage of convenience libraries must be better documented
