GNU libtool is a generic library support script. Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable interface.
This is a bugfix and feature enhancement update. This is the first release specific for cygwin-1.7; the major differences between this package and the simultaneously-released libtool-2.2.7a-1 for cygwin-1.5 are documentation related (the README references cygport-0.9.4 and cygwin-1.7.0-40, and the /usr/share/doc/ layout is influenced by the cygport changes between 0.4.3 and 0.9.4). Changes since libtool-2.2.6a-1 ================================= o Fork from cygwin-1.5 package development stream o Update to latest git development + plus fixes for several cygwin-specific issues = cwrapper should now work in unix->cygwin cross-compile environments = Updated version of previous fix for -dlpreopen when --disable-static + includes some patches from pr-msvc development branch o No longer includes the LT_OUTPUT patch from Yaakov Selkowitz http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00378.html but the _LT_DECL_OBJDUMP is now included upstream. Test results -- old tests: [*] All 113 tests passed 2 tests were not run Test results -- new tests: [*] 78 tests behaved as expected. 8 tests were skipped. [*] Notwithstanding certain issues with perl and the dreaded "*** fatal error - unable to remap" problem. But that's not libtool's fault. For the first time in a LONG time, cygwin libtool passes all regressions! -- Chuck ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
