--- Comment #2 from Markus Böck <markus.boeck02 at gmail dot com> --- I don't think so. That PR and commit is concerned with versioning applied to shared libraries. Here in this case the import library of libdep.dll, commonly called libdep.dll.a, is installed as well. It's a file generated by the linker along side the dll as on Windows one links against the import library, not the shared library like on Linux. The actual link command for libdep.dll displayed when running make is: libtool: link: x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-10 -shared .libs/libdep_plugin.o -march=nehalem -Wl,--stack -Wl,12582912 -o .libs/libdep.dll -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base -Xlinker --out-implib -Xlinker .libs/libdep.dll.a -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
