Hello, I though that Cygwin did not support shared libraries, I read it somewhere in the past, but now I am installing GEOS 3.4.2 (http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/) and I noticed this after the configure (it's just part of the long list of messages):
checking whether the gcc linker (/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld.exe) supports shared libraries... yes checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in... yes checking dynamic linker characteristics... Win32 ld.exe checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate checking whether the g++ linker (/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld.exe) supports shared libraries... yes checking whether the g++ linker (/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld.exe) supports shared libraries... yes checking dynamic linker characteristics... Win32 ld.exe so, Cygwin now supports shared libraries or always did? sorry if this sounded like dumb, but as I said I understood that never did, moreover, the lack of /sbin/ldconfig should have supported my previous believes.
