I cannot reproduce nor understand this at all.  Libtool support for MinGW is certainly suboptimal (search mailing list archives for recent discussions and open problems), it's not that bad.

First, mingw does have LoadLibrary (loadlibrary.la is provided by libltdl itself!).  Over here, -ldl is not added to the link line because it is not found.  Second, your patch breaks dlopen support on many decent systems.

Please provide more (much more!) information and show what fails --  the docs state what is interesting.  Please state which version you use -- if it's CVS HEAD: you do know what "not stable" means?

Regards,
Ralf

Hi,

it seems that ltdl.m4 adds -ldl and -lloadlibrary to LIBS even though it finds no libdl and libloadlibrary doesn't exist on the MinGW/MSYS platform.

The following patch fixes this problems:

1. When dlopen is found but no libdl, no -ldl will be added to LIBS
2. When host os is mingw*, no -lloadlibrary will be added
