Description of test suite
-------------------------
Here is a list of the current programs in the test suite, and what
they test for:
`cdemo-conf.test'
`cdemo-exec.test'
`cdemo-make.test'
`cdemo-static.test'
`cdemo-shared.test'
These programs check to see that the `cdemo' subdirectory of the
libtool distribution can be configured and built correctly.
The `cdemo' subdirectory contains a demonstration of libtool
convenience libraries, a mechanism that allows build-time static
libraries to be created, in a way that their components can be
later linked into programs or other libraries, even shared ones.
The tests `cdemo-make.test' and `cdemo-exec.test' are executed
three times, under three different libtool configurations:
`cdemo-conf.test' configures `cdemo/libtool' to build both static
and shared libraries (the default for platforms that support
both), `cdemo-static.test' builds only static libraries
(`--disable-shared'), and `cdemo-shared.test' builds only shared
libraries (`--disable-static').
`demo-conf.test'
`demo-exec.test'
`demo-inst.test'
`demo-make.test'
`demo-unst.test'
`demo-static.test'
`demo-shared.test'
`demo-nofast.test'
`demo-pic.test'
`demo-nopic.test'
These programs check to see that the `demo' subdirectory of the
libtool distribution can be configured, built, installed, and
uninstalled correctly.
The `demo' subdirectory contains a demonstration of a trivial
package that uses libtool. The tests `demo-make.test',
`demo-exec.test', `demo-inst.test' and `demo-unst.test' are
executed four times, under four different libtool configurations:
`demo-conf.test' configures `demo/libtool' to build both static
and shared libraries, `demo-static.test' builds only static
libraries (`--disable-shared'), and `demo-shared.test' builds only
shared libraries (`--disable-static'). `demo-nofast.test'
configures `demo/libtool' to disable the fast-install mode
(`--enable-fast-install=no'). `demo-pic.test' configures
`demo/libtool' to prefer building PIC code (`--with-pic'),
`demo-nopic.test' to prefer non-PIC code (`--without-pic').
`deplibs.test'
Many systems cannot link static libraries into shared libraries.
libtool uses a `deplibs_check_method' to prevent such cases. This
tests checks whether libtool's `deplibs_check_method' works
properly.
`hardcode.test'
On all systems with shared libraries, the location of the library
can be encoded in executables that are linked against it Note:
Linking executables. This test checks the conditions under
which your system linker hardcodes the library location, and
guarantees that they correspond to libtool's own notion of how
your linker behaves.
`build-relink.test'
Checks whether variable SHLIBPATH_OVERRIDES_RUNPATH is properly
set. If the test fails and VERBOSE is set, it will indicate what
the variable should have been set to.
`noinst-link.test'
Checks whether libtool will not try to link with a previously
installed version of a library when it should be linking with a
just-built one.
`depdemo-conf.test'
`depdemo-exec.test'
`depdemo-inst.test'
`depdemo-make.test'
`depdemo-unst.test'
`depdemo-static.test'
`depdemo-shared.test'
`depdemo-nofast.test'
These programs check to see that the `depdemo' subdirectory of the
libtool distribution can be configured, built, installed, and
uninstalled correctly.
The `depdemo' subdirectory contains a demonstration of
inter-library dependencies with libtool. The test programs link
some interdependent libraries.
The tests `depdemo-make.test', `depdemo-exec.test',
`depdemo-inst.test' and `depdemo-unst.test' are executed four
times, under four different libtool configurations:
`depdemo-conf.test' configures `depdemo/libtool' to build both
static and shared libraries, `depdemo-static.test' builds only
static libraries (`--disable-shared'), and `depdemo-shared.test'
builds only shared libraries (`--disable-static').
`depdemo-nofast.test' configures `depdemo/libtool' to disable the
fast-install mode (`--enable-fast-install=no'.
`mdemo-conf.test'
`mdemo-exec.test'
`mdemo-inst.test'
`mdemo-make.test'
`mdemo-unst.test'
`mdemo-static.test'
`mdemo-shared.test'
These programs check to see that the `mdemo' subdirectory of the
libtool distribution can be configured, built, installed, and
uninstalled correctly.
The `mdemo' subdirectory contains a demonstration of a package that
uses libtool and the system independent dlopen wrapper `libltdl' to
load modules. The library `libltdl' provides a dlopen wrapper for
various platforms (Linux, Solaris, HP/UX etc.) including support
for dlpreopened modules (Note: Dlpreopening).
The tests `mdemo-make.test', `mdemo-exec.test', `mdemo-inst.test'
and `mdemo-unst.test' are executed three times, under three
different libtool configurations: `mdemo-conf.test' configures
`mdemo/libtool' to build both static and shared libraries,
`mdemo-static.test' builds only static libraries
(`--disable-shared'), and `mdemo-shared.test' builds only shared
libraries (`--disable-static').
`dryrun.test'
This test checks whether libtool's `--dry-run' mode works properly.
`assign.test'
Checks whether we don't put break or continue on the same line as
an assignment in the libtool script.
`link.test'
This test guarantees that linking directly against a non-libtool
static library works properly.
`link-2.test'
This test makes sure that files ending in `.lo' are never linked
directly into a program file.
`nomode.test'
Check whether we can actually get help for libtool.
`quote.test'
This program checks libtool's metacharacter quoting.
`sh.test'
Checks whether a `test' command was forgotten in libtool.
`suffix.test'
When other programming languages are used with libtool (Note:
Other languages), the source files may end in suffixes other
than `.c'. This test validates that libtool can handle suffixes
for all the file types that it supports, and that it fails when
the suffix is invalid.
