Hmmm... I've been having problems compiling cvs-m4 which HEAVILY uses
the libltdl library-loading functionality. I wonder if it could be
related to this:
From ltdl.c:
#if __CYGWIN__
{
char wpath[MAX_PATH];
cygwin_conv_to_full_win32_path(searchname, wpath);
module = LoadLibrary(wpath);
}
#else
module = LoadLibrary (searchname);
#endif
LT_DLFREE (searchname);
It appears that current libtool does in fact use LoadLibrary and not
dlopen. This worked fine in the past (perhaps pre-1.5.0?) but appears
to not work as well anymore.
Should the module-loading functionality in libtoool for cygwin be
reworked to use dlopen instead?
