799329
799329
This patch release fixes a subtle bug in slibtool-shared's
799329
generation of dependency lists when creating convenience
799329
library archives. Beginning with this release, the mesa
799329
package can be built with slibtool in its entirety.

463cc1
463cc1

variable support to slibtool's ./configure now makes it fully compatible
d1c2e6
with (distro) build systems that pass those variable to ./configure by
d1c2e6
default.

d1c2e6
- link mode: fix fdepfile construction when determining dynlib dependency.
d1c2e6
- link mode: static archives: always have ar(1) act as ranlib(1).

0.5.0:
77a4b7
77a4b7
This is the first tagged release of slibtool. It is the result of two months of
77a4b7
intensive development, and follows rigorous testing on several systems. As of
77a4b7
this initial release, slibtool is known to successfully build an entire Exherbo
77a4b7
Linux system from source, build the midipix cross compilation toolchain from
77a4b7
source, and likewise build many other packages.
77a4b7
77a4b7
Support for the ELF/default host flavor is complete, and does not appear to have
77a4b7
any errors. Support for the PE/midipix flavor is also complete, and includes not
77a4b7
only static archives and shared libraries, but also import libraries with
77a4b7
version support. Support for the Darwin host flavor already exists too, yet it
77a4b7
is currently semantically incorrect, and so will be fixed in the next release.
