[PATCH] tests: reloadable objects do not work on MSVC, SKIP test.

2010-09-22 Thread Peter Rosin
Hi! This is fixing a testsuite issue for MSVC, and I don't need it to go in before the release. So, no rush. The patch was previously discussed here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2008-08/msg00051.html and it is on the pr-msvc-support branch as commit

[PATCH 1/r47] maint: help2man targets should rely on the binaries they call.

2010-09-22 Thread Gary V. Vaughan
The start of my post-release patch queue... okay to push? * Makefile.am (doc/libtool.1, doc/libtoolize.1): Don't rely on the intermediate files, since they might have changed without giving make the opportunity to update the actual binaries that help2man calls in time. Signed-off-by: Gary V.

[PATCH 2/4] maint: rearrange Makefile.am in preparation for a follow-up patch.

2010-09-22 Thread Gary V. Vaughan
I've posted this one before, but this time it's split into two separate patches. This one to do the rearranging without any changes, and the next to perform the functional edits. Okay to push? * Makefile.am (Libtool scripts.): Move this section below the `Bootstrap.' section... (libtoolize.in):
