That’s not true at all. Notice that we have a
“config.linux-with-shared-libraries” configuration file. This lets you compile
the code - for Linux - so that it will use shared libraries. (We make this
possible precisely because of the LGPL license.)
People are welcome to develop and use configuration files that make it possible
to use shared libraries with other OSs.
Some people, however, have said that they cannot use our code with shared
libraries, on Windows, using Microsoft Visual Studio, unless they modify the
code by adding lots of non-standard Microsoft-specific crap (to function
definitions, etc.). Although you might be able to find ’third parties' who
have modified the code in this way, we will not be doing this ourself - because
it should not have been necessary. (Also we would not, of course, support such
‘third party’ code.)
One alternative - if you still want to use Windows - might be for you to use
the “Cygwin” environment:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygwin
I think you can probably use this to build the code as if you were on a Linux
system - e.g., using the "config.linux-with-shared-libraries” configuration
file.
