How to install-libLTLIBRARIES dll to bin?

Tue Jul 28 09:51:00 GMT 2009

I have an issue with properly autotooled + libtoolized shared libraries
where the resulting dll should end up in bindir instead of libdir.
Can we cygwin-spezialize that either in automake or libtool?
The --mode=install $(DESTDIR)$(libdir) looks like a job for automake
but only libtool knows about the .dll
in contrast to the .dll.a .la and .a
Maybe libtool --mode=install can outsmart $libdir in the dll case.
Or better automake can check for the dll and install this into bindir.
Typical segment:
install-libLTLIBRARIES: $(lib_LTLIBRARIES)
	@$(NORMAL_INSTALL)
	test -z "$(libdir)" || $(MKDIR_P) "$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)"
	@list='$(lib_LTLIBRARIES)'; for p in $$list; do \
	 if test -f $$p; then \
	 f=$(am__strip_dir) \
	 echo " $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(libLTLIBRARIES_INSTALL)
$(INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG) '$$p' '$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$f'"; \
	 $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(libLTLIBRARIES_INSTALL)
$(INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG) "$$p" "$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$f"; \
	 else :; fi; \
	done
(I also compiled ntfsprogs out of curiosity, and had the same first
hand experience as robert)
