For example in GCC, libdir is $prefix/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.2, and the DLLs all get installed into $prefix/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/bin, which is not useful. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
