<pre wrap="">Hm! You know, there is a conditional -ldl in there. I haven't noticed that in a long time. I wonder why it's giving this behavior on Cygwin when previously it didn't. I will investigate.

There is a variable CMAKE_DL_LIBS, that you can use without an if.
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(chicken ... ${CMAKE_DL_LIBS})

I have investigated, and I'm not convinced that the -ldl is coming from
my code. My code is:<br>
<br>
CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE(dl.h HAVE_DL_H)<br>
IF(HAVE_DL_H)<br>
ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DHAVE_DL_H)<br>
SET(EXTRA_LIBS ${EXTRA_LIBS} ldl)<br>
ENDIF(HAVE_DL_H)<br>
<br>
There is no dl.h on any hard drive of my system. Which is to be
expected, as it's a Linux thing. I think the -ldl more likely from
building CMake 2.4.2 on Cygwin incorrectly. I will await your
canonical version and see if the problem goes away.<br>
