GLIBTOL(1)               BSD General Commands Manual              GLIBTOL(1)

NAME
     glibtool -- generic library support script

SYNOPSIS
     glibtool [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
     glibtool is a script that allows package developers to provide generic
     shared library support.  It is actual the GNU libtool script, renamed to
     avoid conflict with the Apple-provided libtool(1).

     This manual page describes the additional features added to glibtool for
     Mac OS X.  More general documentation is listed below.

ADITIONS
     glibtool uses the tilde ``~'' character to separate command sequences.
     Obviously, pathnames containing tildes can cause problems.  So an envi-
     ronment variable, LIBTOLCMDSEP, was added to specify an alternate sep-
     arator character.  Note that same control characters are ignored by the
     shell; CTRL-B and CTRL-Z seem to work fine, while CTRL-A and DELETE do
     not.

     Multi-architecture support is improved.  Projects can build universal
     binaries, and universal binaries can now be extracted from universal
     binary archives (an ar(1) archive containing universal binaries is con-
     verted by ranlib(1) to a file containing multiple archives, which ar(1)
     can no longer process).

     Bundles can be built with the new --undefined dynamiclookup link option,
     if:
           1.   The MACOSXDEPLOYMENTARGET environment variable is set to
                10.3,
           2.   The LDTWOLEVELNAMESPACE environment variable is non-empty.
