[Bug 91480] allow to build shared libraries in bundled projects on Windows

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91480

--- Comment #3 from Ashod Nakashian <ashodnakashian@yahoo.com> ---
Thanks for the detailed feedback David.

> So, that is probably because libtool finds no known dynamic linker.

At least in the case of libwps shared lib was disabled explicitly for non-gcc
compilers (actually, it assumes non-gcc to mean mvs/msc). I have a patch to
enable it, but, as you note, it still defaults to static linking. I think I
know where to look: libtool.

> I agree that a ld-wrapper seems to be needed.

I'll experiment with a wrapper and investigate how we could get it to cooperate
with libtool to create shared libs.

Btw, are we waiting for Windows support of shared libs to enable/test on other
platforms, or does shared work on Linux? Do we know these libraries can/do link
as shared? I haven't tried building on Linux, and it's easier to ask :)


> But not with the rest.

You mean only with some projects? Not sure I get your point here.
