on cygwin, modules (explicitly with -module -avoid-version) with an install name such as libfoo.la get messed up by soname_spec and have their dynamic link library installed as cygfoo.dll (at least with libtool-1.5.26)
my key issue being if you were to install libxml2 with python bindings on cygwin, it's libxml2mod.la gets installed as libxml2mod.a libxml2mod.dll.a and cygxml2mod.dll, and this misnaming/renaming of the dynamic module prevents python from loading it as any reference to it in any python file is 'libxml2mod' _________________________________________________________________ Shed those extra pounds with MSN and The Biggest Loser! http://biggestloser.msn.com/ _______________________________________________ Bug-libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-libtool
