## #34031 — Steph Fox — 2007-12-14T09:40:13+00:00

Hi all,

Having spent a few hours tussling with the load-order bogey, I found what I 
think is a bit of a gap in the win32 build process.

There are no configure warnings at all when there's a missing extension 
dependency... only a bailout if you try to build a dependency as shared for 
a static extension. The need to bail out would depend on how full-on the 
'dependency' in question is, and I'd guess that can be variable.

Trivial patch attached, would've saved me a lot of brain-ache if it had been 
in CVS yesterday but see what you think.
