Hi,
from time to time I use my automake/libtool project to build libraries on
windows ...
this create al least problems ...
my actual problem is, I got a tcl distrubution from activestate providing a
libraray:
C:/Tcl/lib/tcl8.6.lib
and using the libtool command:
/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link /usr/bin/ccache

-I/home/dev1usr/Project/NHI1/theLink/tclmsgque/../libmsgque -IC:/Tcl/include

tclmsgque_la-link_tcl.lo tclmsgque_la-MqFactoryS_tcl.lo
tclmsgque_la-MqDumpS_tcl.lo ../libmsgque/libtmp.la
with "*-LC:/Tcl/lib -ltcl86*" I got the mystic libtool error message that the
library is NOT found ...
It would help if you quoted the error message.
using the "--debug" option give a hint ....
It would help if you shared the hint.
libtool does not serach for the "right" name ...
If I copy the file tcl86.lib to libtcl86.a in the same directory ....
=> everything works fine.
and now my question:
why does "libtool" on "windows" does NOT search for "*.lib" files
I'll try to answer when you have provided the above details.
=> enduser would be happy to save debugging hours ;-)
Hint, I use the mingw cross compiler but this is NOT the problem.
Since you are using a cross compiler (presumably still from Cygwin),
you should not feed it Windows paths, you should feed it POSIX
paths. I.e. something like "-L/cygdrive/c/Tcl/lib -ltcl86". In addition
to that, you (or the package) have specified the library before any
object files, which is not the right thing to do. Try this:
/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link /usr/bin/ccache
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -std=gnu99 -shared
-I/home/dev1usr/Project/NHI1/theLink/tclmsgque/../libmsgque
-I/cygdrive/c/Tcl/include -DMQ_IGNORE_EXTERN -g -Wall -Wcast-align -g -O2
-shared -module -avoid-version -no-undefined -L/cygdrive/c/Tcl/lib -o
