Please note that a platform doesn't qualify as "exotic" just because I don't currently have access to it. I have regular access to only Linux and Solaris. > Finally, there are so many people complaining about libtool -- but > how many of them actually did anything to make it better? I haven't tried to make it better partly because I wasn't convinced that Libtool was the right tool for the problem to begin with. As soon as a more focused alternative solution appeared, I used it and I think it was the right decision. > Of these, how many failed to achieve their goal due to a conceptual > problem with libtool? -- only these can actually claim they have > rights to blame libtool. Everyone else please either file bug > reports (or better yet fix bugs you trip over) or keep silent. Sorry, I find that my time is more productively spent doing other things. And I don't accept the position that one has to *earn* his right to speak of Libtool's shortcomings, or that others should "keep silent" just because they don't have the inclination to work on it.
