   Sure. It is already prepared in the configure.in script. The DLLEXT variable
   has to be set according to the OS detected.
  
   This can be done like this:
  
   if test "$ac_cv_header_windows_h" != "yes"; then

 Well, it mostly works ;)  DLLEXT get set to DLL.  That is, it gets
 printed during configure.  However, it does not get inserted into
 libggi.conf :( @DLLEXT@ is not replaced.  Here is part of the
 libggi.conf which results.

Yes, that's true! I have exactly the same problem.
But the problem is not _only_ on libggi, the problem is on _all_ libs
which are in the current cvs-tree...

 Marcus,
   Where did you put this?  I want to make sure I have it before I test
 it.

In CVS ofcourse. ;)

default shared lib extensions

2000-02-26 Thread John Fortin 

Hi all,

Next on my list of idiosyncrasies for the windows port is the default
shared lib extension.  On windows it should be *.dll.  However, the
configure.in sets it to .so.  

Is there a way to have it determine the correct extension, or add a
command-line to configure to change this?

Thanks,
John Fortin
