I had a second look, and if I do
libname_spec='$name'
for MSVC in libtool.m4, instead of the usual
libname_spec='lib$name'
this snippet in ltmain.m4sh, for file_magic*), line approx 4750,
if test -n "$a_deplib" ; then
libname=`eval "\\$ECHO \"$libname_spec\""`
for i in $lib_search_path $sys_lib_search_path $shlib_search_path;
do
potential_libs=`ls $i/$libname[[.-]]* 2>/dev/null`
for potent_lib in $potential_libs; do
# Follow soft links.
if ls -lLd "$potent_lib" 2>/dev/null |
has problems because shell expansion (?) of $i/$libname[.-]*
is not case insensitive.
If I e.g. supply -L/msvc/lib -lwsock32 and there's a file
WSOCK32.LIB in that dir, the ls command will not find it.
Using -lWSOCK32 works, but that does not work for MinGW
and Cygwin, since they provide libwsock32.a with the
same functionality as WSOCK32.LIB in MSVC. So, to not
make makefiles a mess, I'd really like the above to include
/msvc/lib/WSOCK32.LIB in potential_libs.
Any suggestions on how to make that happen?
Cheers,
Peter
