https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799398 --- Comment #5 from salsaman <salsa...@gmail.com> 2012-03-03 19:50:35 EST --- In answer to the questions, I am attempting to compile my own package, which contains a number of plugins each of which needs to be compiled as a dll. One of the plugins is called SDL.dll, but has nothing to do with the mingw32 SDL.dll. However, attempting to compile a shared lib (dll) against another shared lib (dll) produces the warning message noted in comment 2, and the output dll is not created. (This is with the standard fedora 16 libtool). As a workaround, I read somewhere that one can force static linking with the dependencies by doing -Wl,<path_to_static_lib>. In fact this has worked succesfully with other plugins. Therefore I was attempting to do the same with my SDL.dll It seems I am also misunderstanding something - I was assuming that libSDL.dll was the equivalent of a shared lib, and libSDL.dll.a was the equivalent of a static lib. I am not sure what is meant by "import library". Finally regarding the rpath, I am not sure where this comes from, I think it comes from the installation directory in Makefile.am. I tried removing this but then it was impossible to run automake, so I have been forced to leave it in. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ mingw mailing list mingw@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/mingw
