| The second paragraph applies to libtool. I was recently asked this |
| same question by the Gtk developers as well. I don't know the answer; |
| automake just follows you guys where libtool is concerned. |

| Two separate problems here. The first, I have complained about before, but |
| nobody took any interest in fixing it. mkinstalldirs creates directories with |
| bad permissions. Specifically, it creates directories by just using mkdir and |
| assuming that they the Public Directory Fairy will come along and make them |
| 755. This does not happen. Please, stop making unwarranted assumptions about |
| my umask. |
| |
| The second problem is that automake installs LTLIBRARIES by running libtool |
| install -m 644 (also known as $INSTALL_DATA). Shared libraries should really |
| be 755. If you just say "libtool install" without any -m, it will set the |
| right permissions on installed libraries: 644 for .a's and 755 for .so's. |

| |
| this is wrong, it was probably just cut&pasted from the rule for |
| LIBRARIES. libtools knows what is the right default permission to |
| assign to libraries, automake doesn't have to do it. Unless someone |
| has a good reason to do it. Maybe automake should define a macro such |
| as INSTALL_LTLIBRARY, empty by default, but that one could override |
| with additional arguments for libtool --mode=install |
| |
| Another alternative, that I don't like very much, is to let libtool |
| modify the modes of libraries: if they must be executable in the final |
| target, it just ensures that the installed .so has the executable bit |
| enabled wherever the read bit is enabled too. |
| |
| What do you think? |

| Recently, we've been using a modified version of libtool that enables |
| shared library dependencies on Linux. With that change, it becomes |
| desirable to be able to run ldd on the installed libraries. |
| |
| However, the libraries are installed without executable permissions. |
| |
| The relevant changelog entry seems to be: |

| |
| * ltlib.am: Use INSTALL_DATA, not INSTALL_PROGRAM. From Gord |
| Matzigkeit. |
| |
| Do you happen to remember why this change was made? |
| |
| Thanks, |
| Owen |
