  GStreamer | gstreamer (core) | Ver: HEAD CVS
           Summary: Actually build dlls when cross-compiling with mingw32
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: damien.lespiau at gmail.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


As a matter of fact, cross-compiling GStreamer does not produce dlls in current
HEAD. libtool whines with awful messages like this one:

*** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lws2_32.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have
*** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting
*** with libws2_32 and none of the candidates passed a file format test
*** using a file magic. Last file checked: .../lib/libws2_32.a

Adding AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL to configure.ac solves this issue.
