Compilation on Cygwin does not build shared libraries about restclient-cpp HOT 6 CLOSED

can you provide more of the libtool output? does it work if you link the library statically into your program?

from restclient-cpp.

Here's everything from when i run make:

m4 -I m4 -DM4_RESTCLIENT_VERSION=0.4.4-2-gad96b12-dirty version.h.m4 > include/restclient-cpp/version.h

I've tried linking the .a file in /usr/local/lib, but that doesn't seem to work either. It still yields the same "undefined reference" errors.

from restclient-cpp.

It sounds like the configure file is missing a stanza for win32. Can you try adding win32-dll to LT_INIT as per this?

from restclient-cpp.

I have LT_INIT([win32-dll]) in my configure.ac
However, I'm still seeing the warning.

from restclient-cpp.

This should be solved with CMake.

from restclient-cpp.

closing this then. @instigatorofawe please reopen if the problem persists
