Thanks for the help so far. I've run into another roadblock; I sent this to the cURL list, but haven't had any response in a couple days, so I thought I'd see if someone on this list has any ideas.
After the suggestion to add "AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL", I have no problem doing a clean './configure' and 'make' of cURL. I end up with a libtool(?) shell script where I had been finding the compiled curl.exe (src/curl.exe), and I now have a src/.libs/curl.exe (along with cygcurl-2.dll). This is good... (in this example I was using a build directory of /usr/src/curl/BUILD, but the problem also occurs without a BUILD directory.) HOWEVER, when I go to do a 'make install' (or, as in this example, a 'make install prefix=/tmp/curl-build/usr', although both gave the same error), I see the following: /********* Making install in src make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/curl/BUILD/src' /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -o curl.exe main.o \ hugehelp.o urlglob.o writeout.o ../lib/libcurl.la -lssl -lcrypto gcc -g -O2 -o .libs/curl.exe main.o hugehelp.o urlglob.o \ writeout.o .libs/libimp-cygcurl-2.a -lssl -lcrypto creating curl.exe make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/curl/BUILD/src' /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -o curl.exe main.o \ hugehelp.o urlglob.o writeout.o ../lib/libcurl.la -lssl -lcrypto gcc -g -O2 -o .libs/curl.exe main.o hugehelp.o urlglob.o \ writeout.o .libs/libimp-cygcurl-2.a -lssl -lcrypto creating curl.exe /bin/sh ../../mkinstalldirs /tmp/curl-build/usr/bin /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install \ -c curl.exe /tmp/curl-build/usr/bin/curl.exe /usr/bin/install -c curl.exe /tmp/curl-build/usr/bin/curl.exe /usr/bin/install: cannot stat `curl.exe': No such file or directory make[2]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/curl/BUILD/src' make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/curl/BUILD/src' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 \********* IF I manually copy src/.libs/curl.exe to src/curl.exe, and then try my make install command again, it skips the re-link steps, and just successfully performs the install and moves on. This seems to be related to the fact that libtool has decided to dump my curl.exe file in src/.libs/curl.exe, instead of putting it in the usual place of src/curl.exe. However, since this problem lies in the auto-generated part of the Makefile, I have no idea how one would go about fixing it properly for future iterations... Any suggestions? Thanks, Kevin
