Hi, Currently, on Win32 platforms, Cygwin uses the "cyg" prefix for dlls, and MinGW based systems uses the "lib" prefix.
This works fine, until mingw-w64 showed up with 64bit dlls. This problem is especially apparent with trying to build mingw-w64 cross compilers. For example, both mingw and mingw-w64 builds libstdc++-6.dll from GCC. When installed, there might be up to 3 incompatible versions of libstdc++-6.dll, from mingw.org, 32bit mingw-w64 and 64bit mingw-w64. I suggest the following naming scheme. mingw.org: lib<name>-<major>.dll (unchanged) Cygwin: cyg<name>-<major>.dll (unchanged) mingw-w64(64): lib64<name>-<major>.dll mingw-w64(32): lib32<name>-<major>.dll libtool should also check if GCC "-m32" or "-m64" is used, and select the proper namespace accordingly (mingw-w64 GCC can do multilib).
