Ok, at first I show the cross build of freeglut. Here is the packages configured and build: (log files and .la files included) http://brachttal.net/tmp/freeglut/freeglut-2.4.0-crosscompiler.tar.bz2 I've applied this patch to build it in my cross compiler environment: http://brachttal.net/tmp/freeglut/freeglut-2.4.0.patch and used this wrapper script for configure: http://brachttal.net/tmp/freeglut/conf_xmingw.sh So I configured it with: ./conf_xmingw.sh --without-x I tried also the parameter --enable-shared=no because I build the static library only, but this doesn't change anything. > involved, possibly "libtool --debug --mode=link" output of the > interesting library, ...

It seems the mingw environment doesn't provide much .la files. Are this files on Windows not as usefull as on Linux or UNIX? > Yes, we'd like to fix all of that eventually.. I hope you could help me. If you need more information or I forgot to provide any files, than say it. regards Andreas _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
