[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61905] Build fails when using slibtool instead of GNU libtool

[Michael Orlitzky]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #61905 (project octave):


[comment #11 comment #11:]
> However, the import libraries (ending with ".dll.a" for mingw on Windows)
still remain at their original installation location when the installation has
finished. IIUC, we'd like to get rid of those. (They'll probably not be useful
anyway after their corresponding dynamic link libraries are renamed and
moved.)

Do you have any idea about the best way to accomplish that? I don't have much
experience on Windows these days; and maybe more importantly, I can't test
it.


> I also agree with jwe that it would probably be safer to keep using
`install` when messing with installed files.

Certainly while installing files from the build tree to the installation image
this is true, but *within* the installation image it has the downside of
causing unnecessary copies, chmods, and chowns. I won't die on that hill but
it bears mentioning.
