What configure/make arguments should I use to build shared libraries on cygwin?

Just use --enable-shared without any additional --enable-sharedlibs argument. You might also want to give --disable-static if you don't want static libraries.

Dropping --enable-sharedlibs from configure gives me the same result as when I use --enable-sharedlibs=libtool or --enable-sharedlibs=gcc-cygwin. I end up with static libraries and no shared libraries even though I also use --enable-shared --disable-static.

This is strange.

Is there a way to check the Makefile or libtool to see why it doesn't want to build shared libraries?

You could look through the config.log files to see what's going on. -- Pavan -- Pavan Balaji http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~balaji
