Hi there,
two problems with libtool HEAD-cvs:
1) with regard to dlpreopen, there is yet another quoting problem.
The libtool file generated from HEAD-cvs contains three lines like
this:
global_symbol_to_c_name_address="sed -n -e 's/^: \([^ ]*\) \$/
{\\"\1\\", (lt_ptr) 0},/p' -e 's/^[BCDEGRST] \([^ ]*\) \([^ ]*\)\$/
{\"\2\", (lt_ptr) \&\2},/p'"
Note the bad \\" in there ... I do not enough to give a fix for
libtool.m4, though :/ BUt if there is anything i can do for testing,
let me know. Oh yeah, fixing that problem in libtool manually makes
libtool pass the various demo-* tests, which otherwise fail.
2) in libtool.m4, HEAD cvs, line 4685, look like this:
_LT_AC_TAGVAR(whole_archive_flag_spec, $1)='-all_load $convenience'
This particular line, as I know realize, is the source of various
problem I have with libtool on darwin. It does not make any sense to
me, as the -all_load command does not take any parameters, too. The
current line does cause problems with linking frequently, though. To
quote the ld man page on OS X:
-all_load
Loads all members of static archive libraries.
This option does not apply to dynamic shared
libraries.
Fine; but if you just specify $conveniance there, then in various
cases it will pass the libs in there *twice*, which may work on other
systems (or may not :), but on darwin it definitly fails, the
compiler does not like this behaviour.
So I tried just dropping the $conveniance part, and that worked fine
in one test case; but I think somebody should think about this who
knows more.
