I was messing around with the latest m4 sources the other day

Excellent, this is much appreciated as I don't have access to a cygwin
machine since I upgraded to an iBook.
I was able to build a static version -- that did not work at all
thanks to problems with libltdl and static "lt_dlopen".
Hmm. I'd be interested in trying to sort this out too. Is preloading
broken on cygwin?
OTOH, I could also build a dynamic version that worked pretty well.
Most of the changes (necessary for both builds to complete) involved
adding $(LTLIBINTL) to the _LDFLAGS of every module, and some autoconf
tweaks.
I'm applying the majority of this. Can you retest when you see the
patch go in please?
I also did some truly horrendous things to get the perl module to
build (tricking libtool into linking a dll even though it depends on
the static libutil, libcrypt, and DynaLoader.a). It might be better
to just drop support for the perl module in cygwin...
Ick! I'm thinking of dropping Perl support altogether... it's all a
nasty hack. If I can get guile or python to work as a loadable module,
then perl is definitely outa here! :-)
Anyway, if you're interested, I've attached the patches (to build
dynamicly, apply the -static patch first, and then apply the -dll
patch) I've also included the testsuite logs for both.
Most definitely. Thanks. Please supply a ChangeLog entry next time.
Cheers,
Gary.
