| This is GNU Libtool, a generic library support script. Libtool hides |
| the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable |
| interface. |
| |
| To use libtool, add the new generic library building commands to your |
| Makefile, Makefile.in, or Makefile.am. See the documentation for |
| details. |
| |
| Libtool supports building static libraries on all platforms. |
| |
| Shared library support has been implemented for these platforms: |
| AIX 3.x, 4.x (*-*-aix3*, *-*-aix4*) |
| BeOS (*-*-beos*) |
| BSD/OS 2.1, 3.x, 4.x (*-*-bsdi2.1, *-*-bsdi3*, *-*-bsdi4*) |
| Digital/UNIX 3.x, 4.x, a.k.a. OSF/1 (*-*-osf3*, *-*-osf4*) |
| DG/UX R4.11, R4.12, R4.20 (*-*-dguxR411*, *-*-dguxR412*, *-*-dguxR420*) |
| FreeBSD 2.x, 3.x, 4.x (*-*-freebsd2*, *-*-freebsd3*, *-*-freebsd4*) |
| GNU Hurd (*-*-gnu*) |
| GNU/Linux ELF (*-*-linux-gnu*, except aout, coff, and oldld) |
| HP-UX 9.x, 10.x, 11.x (*-*-hpux9*, *-*-hpux10*, *-*-hpux11*) [see note] |
| IRIX 5.x, 6.x (*-*-irix5*, *-*-irix6*) |
| NCR MP-RAS 3.x (*-ncr-sysv4.3*) [see note] |
| NEWS-OS Release 6 (*-*-newsos6) |
| Motorola System V 4 (mk88-motorola-sysv4) [see note] |
| NetBSD 1.x (*-*-netbsd*) |
| OpenBSD 2.x (*-*-openbsd*) |
| OS/2 using EMX (*-*-os2*) |
| SCO OpenServer 5.x (*-*-sco3.2v5*) |
| SCO UnixWare 7.x (*-*-sysv5*) |
| Solaris 2.x (*-*-solaris2*) |
| SunOS 4.x, a.k.a. Solaris 1.x (*-*-sunos4*) |
| UnixWare 2.x (*-*-sysv4.2uw2*) |
| UTS 4.x (*-*-uts4*) |
| All ELF targets that use both the GNU C compiler (gcc) and GNU ld |
| |
| NOTE: Some HP-UX sed programs are horribly broken, and cannot handle |
| libtool's requirements, so users may report unusual problems. There |
| is no workaround except to install a working sed (such as GNU sed) on |
| these systems. |
| |
| NOTE: The vendor-distributed NCR MP-RAS cc programs emits copyright |
| on standard error that confuse tests on size of conftest.err. The |
| workaround is to specify CC when run configure with CC='cc -Hnocopyr'. |
| |
| NOTE: Due to a bug in autoconf cc isn't supported on Motorola System V 4. |
| You can only use gcc. This bug will hopefully be fixed in autoconf 2.14. |
| |
| NOTE: Any earlier DG/UX system with ELF executables, such as R3.10 or |
| R4.10, is also likely to work, but hasn't been explicitly tested. |

| See the info node (libtool)Tested Platforms. (or the file |
| doc/PLATFORMS) for a list of platforms that libtool shared library |
| support was tested on. |
| |
| If you have any suggestions or bug reports, or you wish to port |
| libtool to a new platform, please send electronic mail to the libtool |
| mailing list <libtool@gnu.org> or bug reports to <bug-libtool@gnu.org>. |
| Don't forget to mention the version of libtool that you are currently |
| using (by typing `ltconfig --version'). |
