http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20915 Library name validation seem to restrictive Summary: Library name validation seem to restrictive Product: Ant Version: 1.5.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm trying to build a C project that links to a dll named libxerces-c2_2_0.dll. Whenever I specify the name of this export file to be used at link time (libxerces-c2_2_0.x), Ant throws an exception: file:/u/xml/sb/bostian/torharness/build.xml:604: Library names should not start with "lib". at net.sf.antcontrib.cpptasks.types.LibrarySet.setLibs(LibrarySet.java:177) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) ... There is a check specifically made in the setLibs method (line 184) to detect library names that begin with "lib". I don't understand why this name check is needed, since there are a lot of products with DLLs named lib*. I've worked around it by symbolically linking to the export file to give it a different name, but would prefer not to do this.
