GNU/Linux Gentoo Installing Libtool – QuickStart Guide
Hi! This tutorial will guide you step-by-step on How to Install Libtool in Gentoo GNU/Linux Desktop.
And GNU Libtool for Gentoo is a generic Library support Script that hides the complexity of using shared Libraries behind a consistent, portable Interface.
To use Libtool, add the new generic Library building Commands to your Makefile, Makefile.in, or Makefile.am. See the Documentation for details>.
About Libtool Easiness
The main difficulty is that different Vendors have different views of what Libraries are,/nand none of the Packages that were examined seemed to be confident enough to settle on a single Paradigm that just works.
Ideally, libtool would be a Standard that would be implemented as series of extensions/nand modifications to existing Library Systems to make them work consistently.
However, it is not an easy task to convince Operating System Developers to mend their Evil Ways, and people want to build shared Libraries right now, even on buggy, broken, confused operating systems.
For this reason, libtool was designed as an independent shell script. It isolates the problems and inconsistencies in Library building that plague Makefile writers by wrapping the Compiler Suite on different Platforms with a consistent, powerful Interface.
With luck, libtool will be useful to and used by the GNU community, and that the lessons that were learned in writing it will be taken up by Designers of future Library Systems.
