Installing Windows import libraries is commonplace in GNU projects, and yet I never saw those projects using WINDOWSENV or similar tricks. All we need is add a variable that would be mpty on other systems and libgnumake-$(VERSION).dll on MS-Windows. IOW, I still don't understand why would we need to do this the way you suggest, if all that's missing is commands to install the import library. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
