Hi!
need_lib_prefix.at currently fails with MSVC.
Hmm probably test fail as shared library is build without -no-undefined
flag.
Did libtool MSC allow creation of shared libraries without -no-undefined ?
On windows platforms (msc, gcc(mingw*)) may be the test require some
PATH magics.
(as example like func_fix_path from static.at test)
I think the test
is there to ensure that "weird" systems continue to work even
if the testsuite is running on a "normal" system. "weird" in
this case are systems with need_lib_prefix set to "unknown" and
"normal" are those with it set to "no". However, there are
even weirder systems where need_lib_prefix should perhaps be
set to "never" (i.e. MSVC) but that currently simply sets it
to "no". "never" would perhaps be more appropriate since preopen
doesn't work right if libs have a lib prefix.
I think OS/2 is
affected in the same way as MSVC, but I have no means to test
that.
The below patch makes the need_lib_prefix.at test skip for the
even weirder systems, i.e. those where libname_spec does not
prefix library names with lib.
The test use libtool -module flag and thus libtool won't complain if
library is created without "lib" prefix.
Ok to push?
No if -no-undefined and PATH magic resolve failure in this test.
