I am having some trouble with what you describe for how to implement this. See my inline comments.

I would like to ask the same for the GNU make system as well so that building with mingw-w64 will result in liblouis.dll as well. NOTE: Just renaming it will not be sufficient, it should be done at build time. [...]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:
I cannot find configure.in, do you mean configure.ac?
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@ ...
As an alternative I have tried in configure.ac, where there is a block for windows builds which does:
CFLAGS="-Wl,--add-stdcall-alias" I added inside the conditional block the line: LDFLAGS="-avoid-version"This did work, but I don't know whether it will have negative issues elsewhere.
Please suggest how best to deal with this.
I think we need to make it so the mingw-w64 and the MSVC build files will give the same named outputs.For a description of the software, to download it and links to project pages go to http://www.abilitiessoft.com
