This release was bootstrapped with Automake 1.8.5 and Autoconf 2.59 but is useable with Autoconf 2.50 & later and Automake 1.4 & later in your own projects.

Alternatively, you can fetch the unbootstrapped sourcecode from anonymous cvs by using the following commands (just hit return when you are prompted for the password):

$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
$ cvs -z3 -d :ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/libtool
co -r release-1-5-8 libtool

You will then need to have recent versions of Automake (Automake 1.8 & later) and Autoconf (Autoconf 2.59) installed to bootstrap the checked out sources yourself.

Please report bugs to <bug-libtool@gnu.org>.
