Yep, read it. You seem to be rather backed off by the idea of the "transparent_exe" option. The idea was to avoid these name collisions (foo and foo.exe would be the same file on a POSIX system because the exe suffix is just a Windows neccessity). Since Cygwin wants to be a POSIX environment, it seems like a consecential step to me. I didn't mean any offense to libtool, but in the light of the transparent_exe option which is, IMHO, a step in the right direction, I was a bit aghast when I realized that libtool uses exactly the namespace collision for a central part of its functionality. As I asid, no offense meant. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
