AAACK! Oh no, that is definitely the compiler's job, I'm not going to jump on a bandwagon of tracking every additional link flag tacked on by every C++ compiler on the planet, Libtool is hard enough to maintain as it is. Clearly the compiler should be able to link a shared library, if not, it is broken. The only thing that troubles me about the link line Bob posted is that a .dll is specified in the link, not the corresponding .lib. I'm not a Windows guru, but I thought that you never link to a dll directly, but to the .lib that is created when the dll is.
