libtool 1.5.22
Hi,
is there any reason why /lib/w32api is not part of the system library
search path when cross-compiling on Cygwin for MinGW? For example,
linking a shared library with -lws2_32:
*** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lws2_32.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have
*** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting
*** with libws2_32.a but no candidates were found. (...for file magic test)
linking a shared library with -L/lib/w32api -lws2_32:
Libtool creates a shared library as requested.
When linking with plain 'gcc -v -mno-cygwin ... -lws2_32' I can see that
the linker finds /lib/w32api/libws2_32.a although /lib/w32api is not
listed in 'gcc -print-search-dirs'. Here's a patch.
