[Ipopt] Build error "error: linking to Fortran libraries from C fails"

Thu Aug 15 04:58:27 EDT 2013

Hi,

something may have gone wrong when configure tried to patch up libtool 
for use under mingw with gnu compilers.
Please open a ticket and attach your config.log files, so we can see 
what is happening, see also
