It looks as tho the parts that *aren't* are causing a problem on other platforms. Therefore, the "full" correction to this problem will probably have to wait until: a) we're happy with the current cygwin/libtool port b) we get the nifty libtool changes pushed into the REAL libtool c) we ensure that the REAL libtool (which includes our changes) works okay on cygwin d) I *fully* re-libtoolize gettext using the new (REAL) libtool e) We push the re-libtoolized version to the upstream gettext folks. THEN, your problems should go away -- but as you can see, it'll be a long process. I'm sorry, but shared libs on windows just plain suck. --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
