Hello, I noticed that libtool sometimes rejects to create shared library using -l... to link with some import libraries failing to recognize those import libraries as such.
It happens if AC_CANONICAL_HOST is not issued before AC_PROG_LIBTOOL/LT_INIT - because libtool macros AC_REQUIRE([AC_CANONICAL_HOST]) _after_ processing LT_INIT options, and that's win32-dll LT_INIT option processing which calls AC_CHECK_TOOL for objdump, which is used to recognize type of ar archives. When AC_CHECK_TOOL is issued before AC_CANONICAL_HOST, instead of finding cross version of objdump it finds native (Linux/x86 in my case) objdump, which can't recognize archive which contains PE objects. So I see two possible solutions: - move AC_REQUIRE([AC_CANONICAL...]) from _LT_SETUP to beginning of LT_INIT - instead of calling AC_CHECK_TOOL in option processing, set some variable to call them later, after ensuring AC_CANONICAL_HOST is called -- Jakub Bogusz http://qboosh.pl/ _______________________________________________ Bug-libtool mailing list Bug-libtool@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-libtool
