No, this is not correct. My original email exactly described the problem: when linking the libsrfi-1 library with libtool 1.5.10 on Cygwin, libguile.dll.a is not linked, causing the link to fail.
For mysterious reasons (libtool brokenness, I suppose), the compile and make install do continue, but at run-time the (use-modules .. ) call throws error 126, which is entirely understandable, since /usr/lib/ does not contain the libsrfi-1 DLL.
When linking libsrfi-1 by hand (inserting libguile.dll.a into the command line), and copying the resulting DLL to /usr/lib/ , use-modules works correctly.
You still haven't answered MY question, from several days ago:
I wrote:
This:
gcc -shared .libs/srfi-1.o -L/lib -L/usr/lib -L/home/Hanwen/src/guile-1.7.1/libguile-ltdl/.libs -L/usr/local/lib -lguile -lpthread -lgmp -lcrypt -o .libs/cygguile-srfi-srfi-1-v-2-2.dll -Wl,--image-base=0x10000000 -Wl,--out-implib,.libs/libguile-srfi-srfi-1-v-2.dll.a
ought to succeed, IF /home/Hanwen/src/guile-1.7.1/libguile-ltdl/.libs contains any of the following:
libguile.dll.a guile.dll.a libguile.a cygguile.dll libguile.dll guile.dll
That's what
-L/home/Hanwen/src/guile-1.7.1/libguile-ltdl/.libs -lguile
MEANS, after all.
And then I wrote:
BTW, note that the problem (whatever it is) exposed here, will be hidden by the patch I'm about to post to this list and to libtool-patches.
I really hope somebody (Jan? Han-Wen Nienhuys?) will try their guile build with unmodified libtool-1.5.10, and when the relink fails manually execute
gcc -shared .libs/srfi-1.o -L/lib -L/usr/lib -L/home/Hanwen/src/guile-1.7.1/libguile-ltdl/.libs -L/usr/local/lib -lguile -lpthread -lgmp -lcrypt -o .libs/cygguile-srfi-srfi-1-v-2-2.dll -Wl,--image-base=0x10000000 -Wl,--out-implib,.libs/libguile-srfi-srfi-1-v-2.dll.a
from the appropriate directory, but adding "-v -Wl,-verbose" for verbose output from both gcc and ld. When THAT fails, figure out why it can't find libguile.dll.a in /home/Hanwen/src/guile-1.7.1/libguile-ltdl/.libs, because if it is there, it really ought to be able to find it given
-L/home/Hanwen/src/guile-1.7.1/libguile-ltdl/.libs -lguile
