GNU Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable interface. GNU Libtool ships with GNU libltdl, which hides the complexity of loading dynamic runtime libraries (modules) behind a consistent, portable interface.

The Pre Make Kit project is a toolkit providing a collection of tools aimed to ease a lot of stages in project development. It provides a scanner that generates template source components such as configuration file or makefile. It also provides a ... [More] dependency checker that sets up templates files depending on the system components (such as auto* tools or similar projects). For portability purpose, a BSD like install program is also part of the kit. [Less]

Dolt provides a drop-in replacement for libtool that significantly decreases compile times on the platforms it supports. Rather than the libtool approach of running a large script for every compile that repeatedly figures out how to build libraries ... [More] 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. If you use automake, autoconf, and libtool, then using dolt just requires two steps: 1. add DOLT after the call to LT_INIT, AC_PATH_LIBTOOL, or AM_PATH_LIBTOOL in your configure.ac or configure.in script, and 2. append dolt.m4 to your project's acinclude.m4. For any platform Dolt does not support, it will transparently fall back to libtool. [Less]
