3639	MinGW linker finds pre-built MSVC library	tc@…	Adrian Pop	"If an external Modelica library comes with a pre-built MSVC-win32 library (e.g., in the Resources\Library\win32 directory) then the MinGW linker of OM on Windows tries to link such library and fails. See https://github.com/tbeu/ExternData/issues/9#issuecomment-173542620 for a reported issue and https://trac.modelica.org/Modelica/ticket/1316 for an unfinished discussion on Modelica.

How can a library developer prevent such a linker problem? I did not yet test if the linking is successful if the appropriate MinGW libraries are provided next to (or instead) the MSVC libraries.
