From f5dbf00da67223c6f1d03cc4c88e05aa83b32f5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brad King Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2015 10:08:59 -0400 Subject: Windows-GNU: Restore find_library treatment of '.dll' as linkable (#15409) Revert commit v3.3.0-rc1~435^2 (Windows-GNU: Do not tell find_library to treat '.dll' as linkable, 2015-02-18). MinGW tools support linking to '.dll' files directly and many non-CMake build systems still do not provide a separate '.dll.a' file. --- Help/release/3.3.rst | 6 ------ 1 file changed, 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'Help') diff --git a/Help/release/3.3.rst b/Help/release/3.3.rst index 15127cc61f..0beb354ac7 100644 --- a/Help/release/3.3.rst +++ b/Help/release/3.3.rst @@ -251,12 +251,6 @@ Deprecated and Removed Features Projects may populate the :ref:`User Package Registry` to aid users building multiple dependent projects one after another. -* When building with GNU tools on Windows (MinGW tools), the - :command:`find_library` command will no longer consider - ``.dll`` files to be linkable libraries.
