Rather than the libtool approach +of running a large script for every compile that repeatedly figures out how +to build libraries on the platform, dolt figures out those details at +configure time and writes out a minimal doltcompile script containing only the +commands needed to build a library on the current platform. + + +Usage +----- + +If you use automake, autoconf, and libtool, then using dolt just requires two +steps: + +- add DOLT after the call to LT_INIT, AC_PATH_LIBTOOL, or AM_PATH_LIBTOOL in + your configure.ac or configure.in script +- append dolt.m4 to your project's acinclude.m4 +- Add DISTCLEANFILES = @DOLT_CLEANFILES@ to your Makefile.am +For any platform Dolt does not support, it will transparently fall back to +libtool. + +Additional features +------------------- + +- Experimental yasm support. |
