Ok, maybe I just misunderstood your replies to someone asking for
dll'ization or maybe it was you who asked for it. Basically, here is
the situation, TCP Wrappers only has a single Makefile, no configure or
libtool (understand, I am not completely understanding all of the
components involved with building the dll). If I understood the
previous conversation then I would need libtool support to simplify the
dll generation. If I misunderstood, then I can play with the info given
below by Christopher and start trying to make it work.
I should be able to work on it this weekend and start playing with it
then. If I can get a dll built, then I will probably test building
openssh against it (may have to ping Corrinna about doing that as again
this goes into uncharted cygwin waters for me. Good practice and a
learning experience, but I may need help initially)
