I have an issue with properly autotooled + libtoolized shared libraries where the resulting dll should end up in bindir instead of libdir.
Can we cygwin-spezialize that either in automake or libtool? The --mode=install $(DESTDIR)$(libdir) looks like a job for automake but only libtool knows about the .dll in contrast to the .dll.a .la and .a Maybe libtool --mode=install can outsmart $libdir in the dll case. Or better automake can check for the dll and install this into bindir. Typical segment: install-libLTLIBRARIES: $(lib_LTLIBRARIES) @$(NORMAL_INSTALL) test -z "$(libdir)" || $(MKDIR_P) "$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)" @list='$(lib_LTLIBRARIES)'; for p in $$list; do \ if test -f $$p; then \ f=$(am__strip_dir) \ echo " $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(libLTLIBRARIES_INSTALL) $(INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG) '$$p' '$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$f'"; \ $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(libLTLIBRARIES_INSTALL) $(INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG) "$$p" "$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$f"; \ else :; fi; \ done (I also compiled ntfsprogs out of curiosity, and had the same first hand experience as robert) -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
