libtool: Finish mode
1
1 4.5 Finish mode
1 ===============
1
1 "Finish" mode has two functions. One is to help system administrators
1 install libtool libraries so that they can be located and linked into
1 user programs. To invoke this functionality, pass the name of a library
1 directory as MODE-ARG. Running this command may require superuser
1 privileges, and the '--dry-run' option may be useful.
1
1 The second is to facilitate transferring libtool libraries to a
1 native compilation environment after they were built in a
1 cross-compilation environment. Cross-compilation environments may rely
1 on recent libtool features, and running libtool in finish mode will make
1 it easier to work with older versions of libtool. This task is
1 performed whenever the MODE-ARG is a '.la' file.
