GLIBTOOL(1)               BSD General Commands Manual              GLIBTOOL(1)

NAME
     glibtool, glibtoolize -- generic shared library support

SYNOPSIS
     glibtool [arguments]
     glibtoolize [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
     glibtool and glibtoolize are scripts that provide generic shared library support to package developers.
     It is actually the GNU libtool and libtoolize scripts, renamed to avoid conflict with the Apple-pro-vided Apple-provided
     vided libtool(1).

     As of version 1.5.22, better Mac OS X support is provided.  The -arch, -framework and -isysroot options
     are now passed to the compiler/linker as would be expected.  Bundles can be built using the --undefined
     dynamic_lookup link option, if the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable is set to 10.3 or
     greater.

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

ADDITIONS
     glibtool uses the tilde ``~'' character to separate command sequences.  Obviously, pathnames containing
     tildes can cause problems.  So an environment variable, LIBTOOL_CMD_SEP, was added to specify an alter-nate alternate
     nate separator character.  Note that same control characters are ignored by the shell; CTRL-B and CTRL-Z CTRLZ
     Z seem to work fine, while CTRL-A and DELETE do not.
