Summary: building expat-1.95.8 for win32 with mingw 

Initial Comment:
Hi!

I'm compiling expat-1.95.8 for win32 with mingw in an
cygwin-enviroment. During buildprocess i get following
error:

/bin/bash ./libtool --silent --mode=link g++-mingw -g
-O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes
-fexceptions -DHAVE_EXPAT_CONFIG_H   -I./lib -I.

I suppose the libtool-script which is generated during
configure is libtool-1.4.x. In this scipt they excluded
some dll-entrypoints for cygwin and mingw. I replaced
this script with the script of libtool-1.5.10 and all
worked fine.


So can you please replace the configure-scipt with an
scipt which is generated with libtool-1.5 or higher.

sincerely
Elmar Rudigier

ps: g++-mingw is is only a scipt which calls g++ whith
the flag -mno-cygwin to exclude cygwin.dll during linking.
