Hallo,
the importlibraries are named libxyz.dll.a (or the symlinks to the actual
libraries are). This is not a problem for the linker which will pick
them up when -lxyz is specified. But I have some configuration scripts
which are looking for libX11.a in the libdir which is pretty usual.
Would it be a problem to create the symlinks to be libxyz.a instead of
libxyz.dll.a in future releases or use the same names of the
importlibraries as it was before, without version included?
Sorry if this was already discussed before,
Gerrit
