B)He could try adding AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL right before
AM_PROG_LIBTOOL in configure.in, which should tell configure that
building dlls is "OK". However, I will note that the end result is
"undefined symbol Win@Main16" %50 of the time.
Nope, it still says the package doesn't support them...
C)Can you help him by referring him to the best documentation for the
whole process? I would try, but I learned mostly from trial and
error. (A howto for cygwin really should be written...).
Can you nonetheless give me some links?
I'm doing some google on the words "automake", "autotool", but found
nothing really enlightening
D)As I have told you on countless occasions, I use autoupdate to get
me started. I then 'diff -u configure.in~ configure.in' to see what
it changed. After evaluating what it changed, I will then go in and
hand edit/revert anything else. This method works quite well in
that autoupdate 99% of the time does all the busywork for me,
leaving it to me to fix up any special cases or macros.
OK. I can see what is changed... but I don't understamd what it means ^_^
I guess I'll pay "info automake" a major visit... it will take some
time, though.
BTW: using autoupdate/libtoolize/automake/autoheader/autoconf I end up
having lotsa warnings
