Also, I haven't checked closely yet (other eyes appreciated!), so I'll only give a few suggestions: - the SCOABSPATH stuff should likely be replaced by a generic libtool option to achieve the same thing, or dropped. Failing that, libtool should to things on SCO the way it does on other platforms, ie. hardcode the stuff that's not found by default. (New features are post 2.0, by the way.) - You may and should use `~' as command separator in *_cmds, together with newlines. For example: foo_cmds='ls~echo~cat baz~ if $foo; then bar; fi' - Ideally, C++ support should be tested with CVS HEADs template library tests first.. but that is optional. - the `-belf' setting (sco3.2v5*) vanished completely: | - sco3.2v5*) | - _LT_AC_TAGVAR(lt_prog_cc_shlib, $1)='-belf' Oversight? If not: it's the only cruft that uses lt_prog_cc_shlib at all, so the whole bag of that can go as well. - the ChangeLog entry is, umm, a bit terse. But granted, it's not needed until the rest is in good shape. By the way, is there good online documentation for these systems' ld and dynamic loader?
