Created attachment 144203 [details] [review] Bump libtool to 2.2 and remove dolt Hi This patch bumps libtool to 2.2 - as it is the newest version available and older version will not be fixed, I think this is a wise step. To quote from the libtool site: "... This is the first stable release from the Libtool 2.2 branch. Libtool 2.0 was never released, as by the time 1.9f was released from the stable branch, the head of the development branch had already become much more stable than the supposed stable branch!! Compared to the old stable Libtool 1.5.x branch, the new stable 2.2 branch has been almost entirely rewritten, and has too many improvements and brand new features to enumerate here. Please see the NEWS file in the distribution for a comprehensive list of user visible changes. ... Also, I've remove dolt support because seems that libtool 2.2 is fast enough ( see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2009-August/msg00311.html or bug #595326 )
Did you compare a build with dolt with one without it?
Created attachment 144408 [details] dolt vs libtool2.2 benchmark I've running ./autogen and make 3 times (results in the file attached), here the average results: dolt: ----- - autogen: 18,3s - make: 1m26s libtool2.2: ----------- - autogen: 18,4s - make: 1m28s
Thank you! Pushed this to master.
