[...] I know it can be done by adding -avoid-version to liblouis_la_LDFLAGS. To do it for Windows builds only we probably need something like this in configure.in: liblouis_la_LDFLAGS_MINGW_EXTRA= case "$host" in *-*-mingw*) liblouis_la_LDFLAGS_MINGW_EXTRA="-avoid-version" ;; esac AC_SUBST(liblouis_la_LDFLAGS_MINGW_EXTRA) and in liblouis/Makefile.am: liblouis_la_LDFLAGS = @liblouis_la_LDFLAGS_MINGW_EXTRA@ ... > I think we need to make it so the mingw-w64 and the MSVC build files > will give the same named outputs.
