GNU Libtool 2.2.6 Released

Item posted by Gary V. Vaughan <gary> on Sun 07 Sep 2008 09:46:28 AM UTC.

The Libtool Team is pleased to announce the release of GNU Libtool 2.2.6.

GNU Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable interface. GNU Libtool ships with GNU libltdl, which hides the complexity of loading dynamic runtime libraries (modules) behind a consistent, portable interface.

This release has support for some new compilers, and fixes a handful of small bugs present in the last release, as well as introducing a new libltdl API that prevents it from opening anything but preloaded modules.

libtool-2.2.6 is available now from ftp.gnu.org, along with
diffs and against libtool-2.2.4. Please use a mirror to reduce stress
on the main gnu machine:

http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html

Here are the compressed sources:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.6.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.6.tar.lzma

Here are the diffs against libtool-2.2.4:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.4-2.2.6.diff.gz

Here are the gpg detached signatures:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.6.tar.gz.sig
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.6.tar.lzma.sig
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.4-2.2.6.diff.gz.sig

You should download the signature named after any tarball you download, and then verify its integrity with, for example:

gpg --verify libtool-2.2.6.tar.lzma.sig

Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums:

62aee5b0a5acc2ffab917572e103302923cd4bce libtool-2.2.4-2.2.6.diff.gz

This release was bootstrapped with autconf-2.62 and automake-1.10.1, but is useable with any reasonably modern equivalents in your own
projects.

Alternatively, you can fetch the unbootstrapped source code with
git by using the following command:

$ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/libtool.git
$ cd libtool
$ git checkout v2.2.6

You will then need to have the latest release versions of Automake (1.10.1) and Autoconf (2.62) installed to bootstrap the checked out sources yourself.

Please report bugs to <bug-libtool@gnu.org>, along with the verbose output of any failed test groups, and the output from `./libtool --config.' The README file explains how to capture the verbose test output.

Enjoy!
The Libtool Team
