libtool did not search ws2_32.dll
Hi, I'm using mingw cross compiler (with GNU autotools) under Linux to build DLL. One of the package I build is gnet2-2.0.8 which will link winsock library. Everything is OK, the DLL is created under Linux. When I copy the library to WinXP and use gnet2-2.0.8 to create network my app. The libtool complain that it can't handle -lws2_32 and show me error message: *** 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 I try to trace what's wrong in libtool ... and found that libtool try to search libws2_32.dll under couple paths ... but libtool does not know the real DLL is c:\windows\system32\ws2_32.dll !! If I copy/rename c:\windows\system32\ws2_32.dll to c:\mingw\bin\libws2_32.dll then everything work OK. Is this expected ? or a libtool bug ? Thanks KC ___ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
libtool pass_all enforce
Hi Is it possible to enforce pass_all for libtool ? I'm sure all the DLLs required are there, I don't need libtool to check it again for me. This will increase compile/link time a lot under Win32 platform. Regards KC ___ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool

Yes, it's mingw. In cross-environment import library is .../TARGET_ALIAS/lib/libws2_32.a along with other import libraries. Yes, so under cross environment -lws2_32 is OK. However, when I copy the compiled libraries/headers to WinXP. The libtool some how figure out libgnet-2.0.dll.a depends on -lws2_32.a and want to find libws2_32.dll which does not exist on WinXP. On WinXP, it's C:\WINDOWS\system32\ws2_32.dll without lib prefix. I'm using libtool 2.2.6 on Linux (SLES 11) and libtool 2.2.6b on WinXP (MSYS + autotools I created from source) I also use the following command to by pass libtool's internal library search lt_cv_deplibs_check_method=pass_all ./configure make and my app compile/link and run OK. So I guess it's libtool's problem. Regards, KC If I copy/rename c:\windows\system32\ws2_32.dll to c:\mingw\bin\libws2_32.dll then everything work OK. Is this expected ? or a libtool bug ?
