[Scons-users] Building versioned shared library fails when using MinGW

[Ray Speth]

Hi,

I have encountered an apparent bug when trying to build versioned shared 
libraries with MinGW. A minimal SConstruct:

     env = Environment(tools=['mingw'])
     lib = env.SharedLibrary('foo', ['foo.cpp'], SHLIBVERSION='2.4')
     env.AlwaysBuild(lib)

generates the following output:

     scons: Reading SConscript files ...
     scons: *** A shared library should have exactly one target with the
suffix: .dll
     File "path\to\SConstruct", line 2, in <module>

I have tested this with SCons 2.4.1, 2.5.0, and 2.5.1, with the same 
results.

Regards,
Ray
