Hello, The attached patch corrects the name used for the windows dlls. With the current naming, it is not possible to update an existing version of nettle by dropping the new files in place and the patch fixes that.
regards, Nikos

I don't have a clear idea about how it should work. It would be good to document the intended dll naming scheme in configure.ac and/or the manual.

The libtool approach is to give the major number only, e.g., libgnutls- 28.dll. Currently nettle 3.0 is libnettle-3-0.dll while 3.2 is libnettle-3-2.dll. That means that applications linked to libnettle-3- 0.dll will not use libnettle-3-2.dll if copied on the same directory.

Following the libtool convention makes some sense. And then the dll name follows the soname in the ELF world. Do others agree?

Would it make sense to include the patch?
