I've since begun studying autoconf et. al. in order to figure out how the libiconv went so smoothly. Is this a normal part of the auto* tools and the newer ones support mingw->DLL? Or does the maintainer of libiconv have a very nice suite of macros? Basically, I'd like to modify libxml2 so it's configure, too, can build a DLL out-of-the-box. Is there anything special I should look for? Thank you, Elizabeth |
