This seems to be the most complicated thing .. building a DLL file. So, what is the best and recommended way to do the job using recent cygwin tools?
I've read autobook (http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook/autobook_toc.html) and it gives some good advice (I'm using autotools in my project), though there are some problems I've encountered. It recommends using _LTLIBRARIES and libtool to build DLL, and as far as I know the building process of a DLL file is already integrated in gcc and ld, so is the document outdated? (I have to use both C and C++ code in my project, and when specifying AC_PROG_CXX in configure.in file the configure script doesn't succeed, because it tries to execute a file called ltconfig which doesn't exist. I really don't have a clue what to do here...) Dllhelpers (http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/index.html) show another, simple way (using the new dll features of ld) to build the file and it is the only way I have managed to build a working DLL. However, I don't have an idea how to get this working smoothly with autotools. So, what should I do? I'd appreciate if someone gave me an example of the configuration files for autotools (Makefile.am and configure.in). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
