You should fix your Makefiles to pull the *.dll files you need from the mingw package and ship them if you are sure your target users don't have them.

Fedora has been aggressively moving away from static libraries and have even stopped shipping *.a files in *-devel packages. krb5-devel for example. _______________________________________________ fedora-mingw mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-mingw
