Would bindir be an environment variable if libtool is being executed

configure sets works. I prefer that over a switch, with a default

The idea of supporting a --bindir option is tempting, but then

I think that a switch is the only way, if we are to deal with the case I
cite above.

There is a fundamental flaw with this logic. Sorry to dissapoint you,
but most open source software using libtool does not originate from
the Windows environment.

Hi,
Has anyone considered a method of disabling the Libraries have been
installed in: message when running libtool --finish ?
I know this can be done using --silent, but that isn't very helpful
when it is called automatically using exec in the install mode
section.

Please note that Cygwin's patched libtool contains a modification to

A modified version of this patch is now in libtool CVS. The best way
to verify that it works is to try libtool CVS for your packages under
MinGW and Cygwin (one Cygwin part was modified so the implementation
could be shared).
Note that installing DLLs into $(libdir)/../bin seems to be a bit of

Cool. I'm happy.
