GNU libtool is a generic library support script. Libtool hides the
complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable
interface.
This is a refresh of the previous libtool-2.2.2-2 package, AND
represents the long-awaited "stable" release of libtool-2.2 for cygwin,
obsoleting libtool-1.5.27a and previous.
MAINTAINERS: note that the new runtime library version is libltdl7, not
libltdl3. Please update your package's requires: if you rebuild using
this version of libtool, and your package relies on ltdl.
Changes since libtool-2.2.2-2
=================================
o routine update from 2.2.2 to 2.2.6a
+ includes fixes for several cygwin-specific issues
= _setmode warning http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00437.html
= string length greater than ISO C99 compilers are required to
support http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00634.html
= realpath warning http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00657.html
+ some other internal improvements
= wrapper executable now invokes "real" executable directly, without
"emitting" a shell script, invoking THAT, which THEN invokes the
real executable.
= libltdl now contains support for cygwin-1.7 long paths
o now brought out of 'test' to 'curr' status
o Still includes patches from Yaakov Selkowitz
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00378.html
o Includes a fix for -dlpreopen when --disable-static
Test results -- old tests:
All 115 tests passed
Test results -- new tests:
ERROR: 69 tests were run,
5 failed (3 expected failures).
5 tests were skipped.
Failed tests were:
25: Link order of deplibs. FAILED (link-order2.at:129)
73: Run tests with low max_cmd_len FAILED (cmdline_wrap.at:43)
Which is not a regression.
