I don’t know how I was able to make it so complicated. As it turns out libtool is perfectly able to handle windows libraries exactly the same way it does with regular libraries. Just link with –lftd2xx… no renaming of libraries are required.
Here is a patch for you. Please try it and report back to the list.

A very interesting thread about windows import libraries, a bit old but
addresses the problem. Unfortunately there’s no solution….

I recently went to build with f2xx, and came across this problem again.
Your “fixes” to the .ac file worked for me as well. I’d like to see this pushed
into a real solution somehow though, as I’m sure it will frustrate many more
people in the future, any ideas?

Åke,
It’s not just you; I encountered this problem over a year ago. It seems that
libtool is supposed to automatically determine the dependency on ftd2xx.lib,
but doesn’t do so. It generated a dependency file that was basically empty.
Unfortunately I don’t know libtool well enough to know how to fix it
“correctly”.
I believe if you look in src/.libs/liburjtag.lai (or maybe it was just
src/liburjtag.la?), you can see the dependencies that libtool generated. Mine
looks like this:
# liburjtag.la - a libtool library file
# Generated by ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2.6b Debian-2.2.6b-2ubuntu1
#
# Please DO NOT delete this file!
# It is necessary for linking the library.
# The name that we can dlopen(3).
dlname=''
# Names of this library.
library_names=''
# The name of the static archive.
old_library='liburjtag.a'
# Linker flags that can not go in dependency_libs.
inherited_linker_flags=''

shouldnotlink=no
# Files to dlopen/dlpreopen

dlpreopen=''
# Directory that this library needs to be installed in:
libdir='/usr/local/lib'
Notice the complete lack of any mention of ftd2xx. (The file src/liburjtag.la
only differs in “installed=no”.)

Subject: [UrJTAG-dev] Trouble linking with ftd2xx.lib
I had trouble linking with FTDI windows library. I finally had to resort to
change the configure script, then rename the library to libftd2xx.a to get the
linking to complete. It seems like the ftd2xx.lib is completely missing from
the link command line.
Any Idea what the problem is?
