Thanks for the detailed (and quick response). I don't think I would have found the details quite so quickly myself...
I peeked in the cygwin FAQ, and didn't see any of this in there. It may be a useful addition, if you can compress it down far enough. --Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Charles Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 12, 2001 1:23 PM Versioning for DLLs is important. Search the archives for more info; these threads should get you started -- but be prepared for a lot of reading... The upshot of all this is that libraries should follow this naming scheme: static lib: /usr/lib/libfoo.a import lib: /usr/lib/libfoo.dll.a dynamic lib: /usr/bin/cygfoo<VER>.dll or /usr/bin/cygfoo-<VER>.dll
