Hi,
I'm using libtool-2.4.2.
My package includes a dlopen'able module and a shareable library against
which it links. Here's the gist of the automake recipe:
#---
# exported support routines
lib_LTLIBRARIES = liblua_udunits2.la
These questions are quite common, and what they really come down to is that
many (or most) users want to solve a *different problem* than the one that
Libtool was designed to solve.
Libtool will deal with the platform specific vagaries of shared libraries
in a uniform manner. It isn't designed to

Hello,
I'm sad when I hear people rant about libtool, and I would like to

I would be very grateful if you could give me qui
