Re: GCC 4.1 on mingw platform

[Christopher Armstrong]

Hi

I used the libobjc that is distributed with GNUstep instead of the one 
used with gcc. I'm guessing that the gcc folks have not configured their 
makefiles to accept a shared libobjc version on mingw, possibly an 
outcome of the autoconf/automake usage which deliberately suppresses 
building shared libraries on windows unless the package maintainer 
enables it (in which case they need to supply a .def file). Having used 
this combination before, --enable-objc=shared is probably ignored.

Perhaps if we copied it out and wrote a GNUmakefile for it? That might 
work; it appears to be the approach with the GNUstep version of libobjc 
(although it has some extra patches against it AFAIK).

Regards
Chris
