Libtoolers! The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of libtool 2.4.5.
GNU Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable interface. GNU Libtool ships with GNU libltdl, which hides the complexity of loading dynamic runtime libraries (modules) behind a consistent, portable interface. This is a bugfix release and a recommended upgrade for all users. Most likely, this will be the last release that supports copying the libltdl sources directly into your project -- libltdl is widely deployed now, and there is absolutely no reason to give it special treatment compared to any other library a project depends on. Here are the compressed sources: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.5.tar.gz (1.7MB) http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.5.tar.xz (952KB) Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.5.tar.gz.sig http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.5.tar.xz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify libtool-2.4.5.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 151308092983D606 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.69 Automake 1.15 Gnulib v0.1-336-g342d9f0 NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 2.4.5 (2015-01-19) [stable] ** New features: - Libtoolize searches for the best available M4 on the user PATH at runtime, rather than settling for the first one found. - Support munging sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec with LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. ** Bug fixes: - Bail out at configure time if the installed M4 is not sufficient for the purposes of libtoolize. - freebsd-elf library versioning was upgraded incorrectly in 2.4.4, but now works properly again. - Fix a 2.4.4 regression so that libltdl subprojects do not warn about missing libltdl/libltdl directory as in prior releases. - When using Sun C++ on Solaris or GNU/Linux we used to set libtool's postdeps permanently, based on the contents of $CXX and $CXXFLAGS at configure time, which was brittle and error-prone. Now, we no longer check for a SunCC ABI at configure time, but augment the postdeps at libtool time based on the current invocation flags on each call. ** Changes in supported systems or compilers: - /usr/local prefixed rpaths are now added to the link-line on ia64-hp-hpux*, because the default system runtime loader path does not contain them. - Previously, when using Sun C++ on Solaris or GNU/Linux, `-Cstd -Crun` flags were added to $postdeps unless CXX or CXXFLAGS contained `-library=stlport4`. Newer releases have added other compiler flags that are also incompatible with `-Cstd -Crun`, so now we don't add them if any of `-std=c++[0-9][0-9]`, `-library=stdcxx4` or `-compat=g` were found in CXX or CXXFLAGS when the Sun C++ compiler is detected.
