I recently started porting libtool to
SkyOS. In general, libtool works just fine in SkyOS, but only for static
libraries. So I want to update it to support shared libraries. (SkyOS uses
a unix similar filesystem layout with most GNU tools available and uses
the PE format for executable files).
Ok, I started by reading following documentation:
http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/libtool/libtool_61.html. As stated there,
I added all SkyOS specific setting to libtool.m4 from the libtool-1.5.22
package. Unfortunately I don't know how to proceed. What must be done next?
Just a simple ./configure;make;make check?
I tried this, but it doesn't look like
as if my changes were actually used. (only libtool.m4 has the new changes
in it, no other file).
I then tried to use autoconf/automake,
but this failed with error messages like: configure.ac: No proper
invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found. I upgraded autoconf to 2.95c
without success.
Running ./bootstrap also prints many
autoconf errors.
Can anyone give me a few hints on how
to actually "compile" and test the changes?
