This is a new patch in attempts to correct the strange behavior,
but note, IT DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY YET.
I am posting this because I have a very specific question about the
naming of the library. This patch, as it is, causes configure to
print out:
checking which extension is used for shared libraries... .dll.a
My question is, What is "library_names_spec" ? That is, that is the
"spec" part about? Isn't the shared archive name named:
soname_spec='$libname.dll'
If you look below, you'll see
+ soname_spec='$libname.dll'
+ library_names_spec='$libname.dll.a'
The goal being to define the name of the shared archive (dll) and the
import library but it did not turn out as I would have liked.
Any ideas on how to best state the .dll and .dll.a part?
Thank you, Elizabeth
