First, thanks for working on this. It is definitely needed in the manual. I have re-engineered this a couple of times already, but the collected wisdom should be in the manual in the first place. Peter Rosin writes: > #if defined _WIN32 && !defined __GNUC__ > # ifdef BUILDING_LIBFOO > # ifdef

Building mingw32 DLLs without -no-undefined?

2006-03-07 Thread Simon Josefsson
Hi! I'm able to build a win32 DLL of libidn using libtool and mingw32, but it didn't work with libgsasl. The difference was that libidn specified a -no-undefined where as libgsasl didn't. libgsasl depend on libidn, so that is understandable. `-no-undefined' Declare that OUTPUT-FILE does no

FWIW, I have a theory that this may be caused by having -L/-l in LIBADD variables rather than in LDFLAGS variables. Since there are many instances of this in various nested levels in gnutls, it will take some time to see if this is indeed the problem. Do you think fixing this will solve the probl
