cygwin vs. windows paths

Hallo, this has been a topic on this list some time ago, but I could not find any satisfactory answers: Libtool, when used from cygwin, creates paths in cygwin format, e.g., /cygdrive/c/libs/libfoo.la. The MinGW tools require paths to be in windows/dos format, e.g., c:/libs/libfoo.la. Is it s

Hi, I want to port libtool on qnx-6.2 platform so, I actually encounter a problem about the so_name's libltdl.so.3.1.0 which is libltdl.so.3 (from objdump -p). I really need that the so_name is libltdl.so.3.1.0. I think that libtool has the responsability to inform GCC how to build this. What I ha

Hi, I want to compile gtkhtml2 (libgtkhtml) for windows, I use MinGW (gcc-3.2.3) and cygwin. My problem is that only static libraries are created, no .dlls. What could be the reason for this? The problem is that the library consists of some sub-packages (sub-directories) that are linked together

You may want to ask at mingw.org for specifics. If all dependencies are resolved then a dll should be there as $subdir/.libs/*.dll - check the content of the .la files in $subdir/*.la whether it has been configured correctly to create dynalibs (it's a text file).

Hi libtool developers and users, libtool appears to depend on Unix find. Under Cygwin, an incorrect path can cause the Windows FIND to be used instead. To the untrained eye, (that is, me two days ago) it's not obvious from the output of configure and libtool that this has happened. The only war
