Heh... that's different, with

lib bar : : <name>bar <search>"." ;

The gcc command line will be

gcc ........ foo.c -lbar 

If you know the exact location for the library, just write

lib bar : : <file>bar.dll ;

or

alias bar : bar.dll ;

and this should work.

That's V1 syntax. V2 does not need <dll> prefix.
