Thanks for that key clarification. > > I hope I have more time tomorrow to have a look at it. > The current dll subdirectory location for the plug-in device drivers is essential for build-tree testing on Windows (since that dll location must be on your PATH for that case). So the location of the plug-in devices must not be changed. Therefore, I believe the only thing left to do (for those users who are building but not testing so they don't have their PATH set to dll) is to change the location of the test-drv-info executable to dll for the if(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS AND WIN32 AND NOT CYGWIN) case. If I can get that to work on Wine, I will commit the change (unless you beat me to it or unless you know of some reason why that wont work). Alan __________________________ Alan W.
