Hi Simon, Ralf, Your documented example looks like this:
> +if HAVE_LD_OUTPUT_DEF > +libfoo_la_LDFLAGS += -Wl,--output-def,libfoo-$(SOVERSION).def > +defexecdir = $(bindir) > +defexec_DATA = libfoo-$(SOVERSION).def > +DISTCLEANFILES += $(defexec_DATA) > +endif What is $(SOVERSION) ? As I understand it, libfoo-$(SOVERSION).def should match the basename of libfoo-$(SOVERSION).dll, right? But that basename is determined by libtool from the L:T:V triple that gets passed as -version-info argument, in an undocumented (platform dependent) way. Right? Then, the --output-def functionality should be available through libtool. We are not supposed to define and update manually an SOVERSION macro that is actually the result of some computations done by libtool. Bruno
