Mingw & -L

I am using the following definition with mingw:

lib cppunit : : <name>libcppunit <search>c:/msys/1.0/local/lib/ ;

However the command line generated contains

-L"c:\msys\1.0\local\lib"

and mingw does not find the library. It needs the slash at the end.

d:\>g++ -L"c:\msys\1.0\usr\local\lib" -llibcppunit
c:\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\3.2.3\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: 
cannot find -llibcppunit

d:\>g++ -L"c:\msys\1.0\usr\local\lib\" -llibcppunit
g++: no input files

What can we do about it?
