Getting the DLL name from a mingw32-compiled lib/a file
- by epsy
Hi,
I am changing our build system in order to handle cross-compiling and packaging.
It is a common thing to ship dependencies' DLLs but CMake's FindXXX modules(./configure checks) don't provide the path to these DLLs but only to .a files. I quickly looked inside the .a libs and they all seem to contain the DLL's name.
What would be a proper way of extracting them from the .a file on a Linux build machine?
