  • Compile a source file into a `libtool` object:
    libtool --mode=compile gcc -c path/to/source.c -o path/to/source.lo
  • Create a library or an executable:
    libtool --mode=link gcc -o path/to/library.lo path/to/source.lo
  • Automatically set the library path so that another program can use uninstalled `libtool` generated programs or libraries:
    libtool --mode=execute gdb path/to/program
  • Install a shared library:
    libtool --mode=install cp path/to/library.la path/to/installation_directory
  • Complete the installation of `libtool` libraries on the system:
    libtool --mode=finish path/to/installation_dir
  • Delete installed libraries or executables:
    libtool --mode=uninstall path/to/installed_library.la
  • Delete uninstalled libraries or executables:
    libtool --mode=clean rm path/to/source.lo path/to/library.la
