You appear to be using mingw as a development environment. I don't know whether libtool supports that. I use a recent cygwin as the development environment, and mingw only as the deployment environment. In this setting, I can build gettext-0.15 out of the box, without problems. Here is the command that I use: CPPFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -Wall -I/usr/local/mingw/include" \ CFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -O2 -g" \ CXXFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -O2 -g" \ LDFLAGS="-mno-cygwin -L/usr/local/mingw/lib" \ ./configure --host=i586-pc-mingw32 --prefix=/usr/local/mingw Why would anyone want to use mingw as a development environment? Maybe end-users cannot learn to write "/cygdrive/c/" for "c:\". But developers certainly can. Apologies for having used the term "mingw development environment" in gettext/README.woe32; I didn't know that mingw as a development environment has problems like the one you cite.
