Hi,
I would like to make a patch to build php under Cygwin, but there is one
problem with libtool.
When you pass to it the option -l, it search only libraries of
type lib*
to check that /lib/lib.dll.a exists (interface to dll). So it
doesn't want to link
with icu libraries because when you install icu libraries, in lib directory
you have only
dll file (cyg.dll) but no dll interface static library
(lib.dll.a).
Today it is possible to link directly with dll file without static interface
library to this dll,
so I did a patch to search libraries of type "cyg.dll",
"lib.dll" or
".dll" when you use option -l under cygwin. (I have
added search
of ".dll" because of ldflags returned by icu-config :
$ ./icu-config --ldflags
-lpthread -lm -L/home/C82DHAN/tools/icu/3.8-org/lib -lcygicuin38
-lcygicuuc38 -lcygicudt38 -lpthread -lm
)
I have already post this patch on [EMAIL PROTECTED] but there is no
response ???
( http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2007-12/msg6.html )
Regards
Denis
PS: maybe icu installation should produce this kind of library and there
would be no problem
with libtool but not all the tools use libtool to produce their dll so when
you use this previous tools
there is only cyg.dll or lib.dll library file. (and no
lib.dll.a)
