Libtool 2.2.10 Linux -> windows cross compile bug?

[Joost Kraaijeveld]

(this is actually a follow-up on the "linux to windows cross compile af
a dll")


Hi,

I am trying to use libtool to do a cross compile on Linux (Debian Sqeeze
AMD64) to Windows, using the gcc-mingw32 4.4.4-0.1+b1, mingw32-binutils
2.20-0.1 and libtool 2.2.10.

According to http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/WIN32.html I should
be able to link directly to a Windows dll using -lxxx. If I try that
libtool complains that it cannot find the library. The libraries are
actually there and are named xxx.dll. If I rename the the file to
libxxx.dll than libtool finds the library.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?


TIA
