"cyg" to identify it as a Cygwin-using DLL, to avoid possible conflicts with a native-Windows version. "-1" to allow for ABI versioning. See the libtool docs, "-version-info" option. > But, be that as it may, can I rename the dll > to be the correct name?Roy No. For 2 reasons: 1) You cannot rename DLLs (and still expect them to work). 2) The name is already correct. It may not be what you were expecting, but it is correct.
