Re: [Mingw-users] cannot create shared DLL due to rpcrt4

[Benno S. <ben...@go...>]

Thank you very much Brian, I installed the "file" utility from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
and now it builds the shared DLL.
but the thing that is not working is the
make install
it seems like the variable $dldir is not set

here's the relevant output
-------------------
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/lib
 /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /bin/install -c
libgig.la/usr/local/lib/libgig.la
/bin/install -c .libs/libgig.dll.a /usr/local/lib/libgig.dll.a
base_file=`basename ${file}`
 dlpath=`/bin/sh 2>&1 -c '. .libs/'${base_file}'i;echo $dlname'`
 dldir=/usr/local/lib/`dirname $dlpath`
 test -d $dldir || mkdir -p $dldir
 /bin/install -c .libs/libgig-6.dll $dldir/libgig-6.dll
/bin/install -c .libs/libgig.lai /usr/local/lib/libgig.la
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

any idea how I can fix this.
i'd like the lib compilable out of the box on both linux and mingw.

thanks in advance for your help,
cheers,
Benno
