Hi!

I got quite far already - am working on this for some time now - and "-no-undefined" got me the farthest but I still had unresolved symbols among other errors which all seem to come from the fact that dynamic linking on Win32 is ... dumb. :-/ I have yet to try "--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc" together with "-no-undefined" as I had gotten some linker message which suggested to use it; however I am still puzzled why using DLLs is such a pita compared to GNU/Linux & Darwin. :-( If anyone's interested I'll report more on this - but I'm not sure if any of you is interested in problems with Xerces-C DLLs?! :-) > Well, hope this gets you set for the release: use > > | AC_CANONICAL_HOST > | case "$host" in > | *-*-linux* | *-*-darwin*) > | AC_ENABLE_SHARED > | ;; > | *-*-mingw32*) > | AC_DISABLE_SHARED > | ;; > | esac Thanks for that - will test it! These lists sure are a great resource! -- regards, Florian Schricker Institute of Software Technology University of Koblenz-Landau _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
