[geos-devel] MinGW build of Geos on Win7

[Theuns Heydenrych]

HI All
When building Geos 3.4.2 with MinGW on Win7, the build fails at the last
step when trying to link the dll, with the following.

libtool: link: g++ -shared -nostdlib

The problem is the ' after the
-L/c/mingw491/prerequisites/i686-w64-mingw32-static/lib' , library path.
I can go and fix it manually every time, but how can the makefile be fixed,
so that this ' is not appended to the end of this path?
