[Xapian-discuss] cygwin python binding build error

[Matt Chen]

hey,

i'm trying to build xapian python-binding in cygwin, but i got some
errors message like this:

*** Warning: This system can not link to static lib archive
/opt/xapian/lib/libxapian.la.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.
*** But as you try to build a module library, libtool will still create
*** a static module, that should work as long as the dlopening application
*** is linked with the -dlopen flag to resolve symbols at runtime.
