tools: libtool: always install all auxillary files

2025-08-11T20:28:41Z

Remove the needless restriction for which auxillary files are installed. This aligns the behavior of libtoolize with the existing behavior of automake. This can prevent the seemingly random error if autoreconf happens to be ran multiple times: configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: compile Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/19748 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

tools/libtool: remove parallel building

2025-07-26T12:38:08Z

There is only one subdirectory for libtool that actually compiles, so enabling parallel building has no significant beneficial effects. Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/16522 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

tools/libtool: add maintainer-clean to clean target

2025-07-26T12:38:08Z

Use the clean recipe during build, so that files already generated by the bootstrapping within the release are removed before the bootstrap script is run again. Override an automake variable "am__CONFIG_DISTCLEAN_FILES" and related variables for their dependencies in order to prevent removing config.status and other configure files so that configure stage does not need to be ran twice. Automake with modified rules must be ran in order to generate a Makefile that does not delete itself.

tools: libtool: update to 2.5.4

2025-05-03T20:25:20Z

Update libtool to the current stable 2.5.4 release. 130-trailingslash.patch was upstream, 100 and 110 patches were manually refreshed while rest was automatically refreshed via quilt. Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/18655 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

tools: libtool: do not symlink files in bootstrap

2024-08-29T18:04:02Z

Another instance of files in build_dir symlinking to staging_dir. While the symlinks do not currently cause any bugs in the libtool package, such symlinks were found to make the build more fragile, as writing to the symlink may accidentally modify the shared file in staging_dir. Pass --copy to bootstrap to disable the symlinking. Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/15825 Signed-off-by: Matthias Schiffer

tools: prefer gz or bz2 tarballs

2024-04-06T09:24:18Z

In the light of recent XZ events, and fundamental XZ issues lets work on moving away from using XZ. So, use gz compressed tarballs as sources whenever possible. dwarves only offers bz2 compressed tarballs, so use those as size difference is minor compared to XZ. Signed-off-by: Robert Marko dwarves

tools/libtool: bootstrap to local gnulib source

2023-05-04T04:07:30Z

Using the local gnulib source during bootstrap allows for fine-grained control over the macros and source files for use with libtool but part of gnulib instead of libtool, without having to wait for a release or deal with gnulib as a git submodule. Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt

tools/libtool: clean up build recipes

2023-03-26T22:41:50Z

Host/Clean/Default is no longer defined. Use the uninstall makefile target to remove the obsolete m4 files, and more. Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt

autotools: remove specialized version of libtool

2023-03-26T22:41:50Z

Remove the specialized copy of libtool which was used for linking to uClibc++, which is now removed. Also remove references to the deprecated fixup targets that invoked this specialized libtool, which no package uses.

tools/libtool: bump to 2.4.7

2023-03-13T21:53:41Z

Remove upstreamed patch and refresh others. Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev [rebased and refreshed patches again] Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt
