It shouldn't. But doing this is _most_ _likely_ to fail, as most .dll files are not created using MinGW. That's fact. So why doing something by default that has a success rate of less than 50%? Make it optional and disabled by default... HS PS: Please to not send replies to me _and_ the list, just to the list is completely sufficient. An MUA that understands mailing lists can help here. _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
