The libtool-stable package contains the 1.4.3 version of libtool, a cross-platform tool for building libraries (shared and otherwise). It enables relatively trouble-free builds of DLLs on cygwin and mingw.
This release is built against the cygwin-1.5.x kernel; it will not work with 1.3.22. (Yes, I know that libtool is mostly a big shell script. But it also includes the dynamic loader library, cygltdl-3.dll. In -stable, there is a private version of this DLL in /usr/autotool/stable/bin/) CHANGES: * compiled against cygwin-1.5.2 kernel * Documentation moved to /usr/share/* -- Charles Wilson libtool-stable volunteer maintainer for cygwin To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
