Well, of the dlls that have a test in Wine MinGW only misses urlmon. If you look at the objective of cross compiling a test, it would normally not make sense to cross compile a target that needs a library that the target platform lacks. But of course this situation different: the test executable is going run on Windows, not MinGW (though that may change someday...) So I guess -L$(DLLDIR) is going to stay and MinGW needs to be fixed so it can properly link our tests. I'm keeping my fingers crossed ;-) -Hans
