Cygwin using dlltool. On MacOSX, you must have dlcompat installed

and in your include/library paths at configure time. (See .conf.macosx

for an example.)
|

- we use libtool's LTDL library from libtool 1.4.2, with a number of
|

critical bug fixes (Bryce)
|
||||
- the Linux binary RPMs are built with plugin support
|
||||
- to compile with plugins, configure with --enable-plugins
|

- the LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH variable tells Bochs where its plugins can be
|

found. Bochs has a compile-time default for this variable which is
|

correct if you do a make install. You would only need to set the
|

variable if the default is wrong.
|

- for win32 plugins we added "BOCHSAPI" in front of many classes
|
||||
and methods, to aid in building DLLs. This turns into __declspecs
|

which are used when making an export library for Bochs.

- allow many display libraries to be configured and compiled at

- The MacosX .conf script adds /sw/include and /sw/lib to the compile/link
