slibtool

• Check if all tools like LIBTOOL=slibtool should be added to MAKEFLAGS (check Gentoo wiki and slibtool’s README?)

• Officially migrated from midipix.org to foss21.org

• slibtool does not install .la files by default

• Currently slibtoolize and a lot of macros (m4 files) are needed to make slibtool a full replacement for libtool

• Version 0.6.0 which will come out soon (March/April) will have:

  • in-memory archive merging
  • a fully-fledged slibtoolize
  • a fully functional sltdl (for mainstream usage, at least)

• slibtoolize will be provided in the future (either as a mode or a symlink)

• ltdl is no longer needed (it serves to provide a dlopen() functionality on systems which do not offer it, i.e. HP-UX and BeOS)
