Some people are still using it, but I do hornestly do not know how many people is using it (and why it was removed from libtool). It does not matter much for me, as I am only an AmigaOS4 user and there is not that much work done on classic (m68k) AmigaOS anymore. > Thanks, > Ralf -- best regards, hnl_dk - Henning Nielsen Lund µA1-C (IBM PowerPC 750 FX V2.2 @ 800MHz), 256MB RAM, NEC ND-3500A DVD/CD RW, Samsung SP1604N 160GB PATA Harddisk drive, Acer AL1721 17" TFT, modified Tyan M2042 1->3 PCI Riser... _______________________________________________ Bug-libtool mailing list Bug-libtool@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-libtool
