Howdy all! I'm bringing an open source scientific data library into the libtool universe.
One feature that lead to this this work was that ability (I understand) of libtool/mingw/cygwin to produce windows DLLs. In the past we have produced a DLL using a M$ compiler, but I would like to maintain only one set of configuration files, so using libtool seems like a real winner. I have included the AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL macro in my configure.ac, and the -no-undefined and -no-cygwin options in the linker flags. When I do my make, everything seems to work, and I get a success returned from make, but there is no .dll file in the directory. (Although there is a libnetcdf.la file). Did it work? Where is my dll? Here's the output of the link: /bin/bash ../libtool --mode=link --tag=CC gcc -g -O2 -o libnetcdf.la -rpath /home/Ed/lib -no-undefined -no-cygwin -version-info 0:0:0 attr.lo ncx.lo putget.lo dim.lo error.lo libvers.lo nc.lo string.lo v1hpg.lo var.lo posixio.lo v2i.lo gcc -shared .libs/attr.o .libs/ncx.o .libs/putget.o .libs/dim.o .libs/error.o .libs/libvers.o .libs/nc.o .libs/string.o .libs/v1hpg.o .libs/var.o .libs/posixio.o .libs/v2i.o -o .libs/cygnetcdf-0.dll -Wl,--image-base=0x10000000 -Wl,--out-implib,.libs/libnetcdf.dll.a Creating library file: .libs/libnetcdf.dll.a ar cru .libs/libnetcdf.a attr.o ncx.o putget.o dim.o error.o libvers.o nc.o string.o v1hpg.o var.o posixio.o v2i.o ranlib .libs/libnetcdf.a creating libnetcdf.la The libnetcdf.la file starts off like this: # The name that we can dlopen(3). dlname='cygnetcdf-0.dll' # Names of this library. library_names='libnetcdf.dll.a' # The name of the static archive. old_library='libnetcdf.a' # Libraries that this one depends upon. dependency_libs='' Any comments about thie DLL process would be most helpful. I'm used to getting one file: netcdf.dll - did I get something here that I can use just by dropping it into a directory and then using a M$ IDE to program with the DLL? Thanks!
