Hi, I'm using mingw cross compiler (with GNU autotools) under Linux to build DLL. One of the package I build is gnet2-2.0.8 which will link winsock library. Everything is OK, the DLL is created under Linux.
When I copy the library to WinXP and use gnet2-2.0.8 to create network my app. The libtool complain that it can't handle -lws2_32 and show me error message: *** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lws2_32." *** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when" *** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a" *** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have" *** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting" I try to trace what's wrong in libtool ... and found that libtool try to search libws2_32.dll under couple paths ... but libtool does not know the real DLL is c:\windows\system32\ws2_32.dll !! If I copy/rename c:\windows\system32\ws2_32.dll to c:\mingw\bin\libws2_32.dll then everything work OK. Is this expected ? or a libtool bug ?
