10.26. Libtool-1.5.22 N32 Libraries

The Libtool package contains the GNU generic library support script. It wraps the complexity of using shared libraries in a consistent, portable interface.

10.26.1. Installation of Libtool

Prepare Libtool for compilation:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
   --libdir=/usr/lib32

Compile the package:

make

To test the results, identify the correct emulation, then issue: make LDEMULATION=[emulation] check. The correct emulation will be elf32btsmipn32 for a big-endian machine and elf32ltsmipn32 for a little-endian machine.

Install the package:

make install

Details on this package are located in Section 10.27.2, “Contents of Libtool.”
