- Subject: Prefix like cyg and lib of DLLs ?
Hello !
Where does the prefix of DLLs for example
cyg* and lib* come from ? Is it something that
is internal fixed or can i change that ?
That a library has the cyg prefix for example
cygpng is okay to me, as it shows it was compiled for
the special usage with CYGWIN, but i would like to get
rid of the lib prefix when compiling with -mno-cygwin.
When creating DLLs by hand with gcc -shared -o .... i can name the
DLL as i want, but what is for example with libpng, where is defined
that the DLL it creates, is called libpng... ?
DLLs created with Visual C++, usually don't come with the lib prefix
and i am trying to go with the same name.
Thanks.
