Hi

when building 1.5.1 ...

make -C /Sources/poco-1.5.1-all/Data/ODBC/testsuite

died with

ld: library not found for -lltdl

just commenting it out from the Makefile made the build continue

Best,

proper solution is to instal libtool.

I was concerned about leaving a dependency on a library that isn't installed anymore on the target systems, but if it's only the testsuites and not the libraries themselves then that's obviously ok.

If that's the case, then an ifdef would be a proper solution. Can you do some testing and propose a solution that won't break other builds (e.g. static) and platforms? Sending back pull request is best way to get things in quickly.
