 5.3 Configuring libtool
 =======================
 
 Libtool requires intimate knowledge of your compiler suite and operating
 system in order to be able to create shared libraries and link against
 them properly.  When you install the libtool distribution, a
 system-specific libtool script is installed into your binary directory.
 
    However, when you distribute libtool with your own packages (
 Distributing), you do not always know which compiler suite and
 operating system are used to compile your package.
 
    For this reason, libtool must be "configured" before it can be used.
 This idea should be familiar to anybody who has used a GNU `configure'
 script.  `configure' runs a number of tests for system features, then
 generates the `Makefiles' (and possibly a `config.h' header file),
 after which you can run `make' and build the package.
 
    Libtool adds its own tests to your `configure' script in order to
 generate a libtool script for the installer's host machine.
