General

    +
  1. + Improved: In all directories, including those for tutorial + programs, we generate a file called Makefile.dep + that lists the dependencies of object files on source files, + and that the make uses to determine which files to + recompile. If the generation of this file failed (for example + if LD_LIBRARY_PATH hadn't been set correctly), a + number of very strange things would happen, among others the + attempt to link an empty object file. This was almost + impossible to figure out if you didn't know what was going + on. This mechanism has now been robustified and should yield + better error messages. +

  2. New: The dynamic libraries, which is the name of shared libs under Apples OSX, are now supported on these platforms and
