Alas, it is necessory for all libraries that your DLL depends on to also be built as DLLs. > The problem is that the library consists of some > sub-packages (sub-directories) that are linked together > before the whole library is created.

Since Windows DLLs do not allow undefined symbols, a requirement to build a DLL using libtool is to include the -no-undefined option, otherwise a static library will be built. Libtool 1.5 is much better at enforcing these rules than former versions of libtool.
