The Cygwin/Windows part doesn't use Libtool for a reason: DLLs don't get created properly with the current libtool (as you have apparently found out in another mail).

I'm confused, wasnt the point of libtool 1.5 being that dll's Did finally work with cygwin?

AFAIK, yes, but as Gerrit found out, when linking pcreposix, the DLL gets linked to the installed cygpcre.dll. Libtool does, therefore, make a DLL, but not a correct one.



IIRC, libtool now adds /bin to the library search paths and gcc/ld will find foo.dll for -lfoo as a last resort.


Is this then the problem?

Earnie.
