[Tinycc-devel] Re: TCC:cannot find -l"xyz.dll"

[lostgallifreyan]

Extra point:
Actual TCC error is given literally as "tcc: cannot find -lLua.dll"

If I am being equally literal, I infer that maybe TCC is parsing it strangely 
and actually thinks that not only is the -l switch an instruction to link some 
file, but also, "-l" is taken literally as a prefix to as filename string. If 
so, it might explain why there is no way to tell TCC how to reach the real 
named file. I tried renaming Lua.dll to -lLua.dll for the hell of it, and no 
change results.

I also tried passing Lua.dll to tiny_libmaker.exe and pointing TCC to the 
resulting output file, and that doesn't work either. The error is always the 
same: "tcc: cannot find -lLua.dll". That nothing I do changes TCC's response 
suggests there probably IS nothing I can do.
