[Mingw-users] advice for adding support of cegcc in libtool

[Vincent Torri <vtorri@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,

I'm trying to port some libraries to Windows CE using the cegcc compiler. 
Right now, there is no support for the cegcc compiler in libtool (hence no 
possibility to created dll's). I've written a patch for libtool which 
modifies libtool.m4 and ltoptions.m4 so that cegcc is detected. Now, 
libtool says it can create sahred lib and it indeed tries.

I've written a lib that uses sockets and which uses libws2 (the equivalent 
of libws2_32 with cegcc). But then libtool displays that warning:

Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lws2.

and it requests the shared version of that lib.

Usually, to resolve such problem, I pass -no-undefined to libtool and I 
provide the dll. In my case I don't have the sahred lib of libws2.

I know that, with some old version of libtool (1.5.22 or below, i can't 
remember), I had the same problem with mingw and some libs like libiberty 
or libwsock2, or others. But there is no problem with recent libtool 
(1.5.24 or above).

So I would like to know what has been added to libtool so that it creates 
the dll even if no shared version of libberty and al are available. It can 
maybe help me to solve the problem with cegcc.

thank you

Vincent Torri
