I'm confused since the gcc documentation says that the only thing that `-lfoo' does, is that it allows gcc to look for `libfoo.a' while linking. But what about the shared libraries (DLLs)? It seems to me that gcc looks for `libfoo.dll', `cygfoo.dll', `foo.dll' and may be for all these plus `.a' suffix, doesn't it? But, for example, libfoo and cygfoo could be two _different_ libraries at all. Can anybody explain the "-l" feature for DLLs? I've tried the Cygwin's User Guide and gcc info, but did not find any answer.
