5. Copy <PFX>/share/libtool/ltmain.sh to llvm/autoconf/ltmain.sh
6. Copy <PFX>/share/libtool/libltdl/ltdl.c to llvm/lib/System
7. Copy <PFX>/share/libtool/libltdl/ltdl.h to llvm/lib/System
- 8. Adjust the llvm/autoconf/m4/libtool.m4 file to ensure that the variable
- default_ofile is set to "mklib" instead of "libtool"
- 9. Run "autoupdate libtool.m4 ltdl.m4" in the llvm/autoconf/m4 directory.
+ 8. Edit the ltdl.h file to #include "llvm/Config/config.h" at the very top. You
+ might also need to resolve some compiler warnings (typically about
+ comparison of signed vs. unsigned values). But, you won't find out about
+ those until you build LLVM (step 13).
+ 9. Edit the llvm/autoconf/m4/libtool.m4 file so that:
+ a) in AC_PROB_LIBTOOL macro, the value of LIBTOOL is set to
+ $(top_builddir)/mklib, not $(top_builddir)/libtool
+ b) in AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP macro, the variable default_ofile is set to
+ "mklib" instead of "libtool"
+ c) s/AC_ENABLE_SHARED_DEFAULT/enable_shared_default/g
+ d) s/AC_ENABLE_STATIC_DEFAULT/enable_static_default/g
+ e) s/AC_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL_DEFAULT/enable_fast_install_default/g
+10. Run "autoupdate libtool.m4 ltdl.m4" in the llvm/autoconf/m4 directory.
This should correctly update the macro definitions in the libtool m4
files to match the version of autoconf that LLVM uses. This converts
AC_HELP_STRING to AS_HELP_STRING and AC_TRY_LINK to AC_LINK_IFELSE, amongst
other things. You may need to manually adjust the files.
-10. Run AutoRegen.sh to get the new macros into configure script
-11. If there are any warnings from configure, go to step 9.
-12. Rebuild LLVM, making sure it reconfigured
-13. Test the JIT which uses libltdl
-14. If it all works, only THEN commit the changes.

Upgrading autoconf
===============================================================================
5. Run autoupdate on all the m4 macros in llvm/autoconf/m4
6. Run autoupdate on llvm/autoconf/configure.ac
7. Regenerate configure script with AutoRegen.sh
- 8. If there are any warnings from autoconf, fix them and go to step 7.

9. Test, test, test.
