Hi libtoolers,
I am building 2 Win32 DLLs to be loaded into the erlang runtime VM as NIFs,
based on snappy (mixed C & C++) and ejson/yajl (in C), all part of porting
latest CouchDB trunk to Windows - config is at [8].
They use a similar Makefile.am [2],[3] and share configure.ac [1], but during
compile & linking ejson succeeds [7] and snappy doesn't [6], despite the
Makefiles being almost identical.
There are 2 errors reported;
- output filename is specified twice & therefore fails
LINK : fatal error LNK1149: output filename matches input
filename 'C:\cygwin\relax\git_couch\src\snappy\.libs\snappy_nif.dll'
- libtool adds unwanted flags, instead of -DLL (per working build)
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/shared'; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/nostdlib'; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option
'/-enable-auto-image-base'; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/Xlinker'; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/-out-implib'; ignored
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/Xlinker'; ignored
Only the final link phases differ materially in the parameters passed. If [7] is
manually run with these changes, bringing it into line with [6], it works:
- remove '-Xlinker --out-implib -Xlinker \$lib'
- swap '-shared -nostdlib' ' for '-dll'
When libtool is hacked up [4], I can get a cleanish link [5] but this clearly
isn't the Right Thing To Do.
What do I need to change, to ensure libtool passes the linker the same options
in both DLLs? What am I missing?
Finally, given we are using these makefiles/configure.ac on multiple platforms
have you got any other suggestions to improve things?
