[Mingw-users] gcc / libtool stubborn usage of non-existing dlltool name

[Pieter T. <pie...@in...>]

Hi,


I'm using autoconf 2.57,  automake 1.4-p4 and libtool 1.4.3
together with gcc 3.2.1 and ming runtime 2.2 on a debian linux host (that's 
cross compiling)

My problem:

I'm not sure if dlltool is called by libtool or by g++, but anyway when an 
attempt to build my dll is made I get this:

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link i686-pc-mingw32-g++ <blabla> -no-undefined 
>blabla>

...
generating symbol list for...
dlltool --export-all <blabla>

../libtool: dlltool: command not found

There's my problem: the tool used should be i686-pc-mingw32-dlltool, not 
"dlltool"

Does anyone recognize this ? the autoconf macros (AC_CHECK_TOOL, which is used 
by AC_PROG_LIBTOOL) get everything right (i686-pc-mingw32-objdump, 
i686-pc-mingw32-ranlib), except it refuses to detect anything other than 
"dlltool", which shouldn't be "detected" in the first place since I do not 
have an executable named "dlltool" on my system.

Does anyone know why the canonical hostname is not prepended to dlltool ?
