.TH LIBTOOL 1 "OCTOBER 1999" "Library Support" "User Manuals"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
libtool \- generic library support script
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B libtool
|
|
.BI [ OPTION... ]
|
|
.BI [ MODE\-ARG... ]
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
The `libtool' program provides a standard way to generate both static
|
|
and shared libraries. It hides the complexities of platform\-specific
|
|
library generation behind an interface that is the same across all
|
|
platforms supported by libtool.
|
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
|
libtool accepts the following options:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-config
|
|
Display libtool configuration variables and exit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-debug
|
|
Dump a trace of shell script execution to standard output. This
|
|
produces a lot of output, so you may wish to pipe it to `less' (or
|
|
`more') or redirect to a file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-n | \-\-dry-run
|
|
Don't create, modify, or delete any files, just show what commands
|
|
would be executed by `libtool'.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-features
|
|
Display basic configuration options. This provides a way for packages
|
|
to determine whether shared or static libraries will be built.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-finish
|
|
Same as
|
|
.BR \-\-mode=finish .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-help
|
|
Display a help message and exit. If
|
|
.BI \-\-mode= MODE
|
|
is specified, then detailed help for
|
|
.I MODE
|
|
is displayed.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-\-mode= MODE
|
|
Use
|
|
.I MODE
|
|
as the operation mode. By default, the operation mode is inferred
|
|
from the
|
|
.IR MODE\-ARGS .
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
.I MODE
|
|
is specified, it must be one of the following:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.B compile
|
|
Compile a source file into a `libtool' object.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.B execute
|
|
Automatically set the library path so that another program can use
|
|
uninstalled libtool\-generated programs or libraries.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.B finish
|
|
Complete the installation of libtool libraries on the system.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.B install
|
|
Install libraries or executables.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.B link
|
|
Create a library or an executable.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.B uninstall
|
|
Delete libraries or executables.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-version
|
|
Print libtool version information and exit.
|
|
.P
|
|
The
|
|
.I MODE\-ARGS
|
|
are a variable number of arguments, depending on the selected
|
|
operation mode. In general, each
|
|
.I MODE\-ARG
|
|
is interpreted by programs libtool invokes, rather than libtool itself.
|
|
