MinGW: GDAL configure fails detecting Expat if OGDI is enabled

[marcopx]

Running MinGW 5.1.4 with MSYS 1.0.11 on MS Windows Vista

1. Expat is not detected

2. if I change line 23832 from

expat_lib_flags="-L$expat_prefix/lib -lexpat"

to

LIBS="$LIBS -L$expat_prefix/lib -lexpat"

Expat is correctly detected and built

3. but if I enable OGDI support (through --with-ogdi=path) Expat is not more detected;

I also tryed to enable OGDI without hacking the line 23832: I got the same result;

OGDI is detected in both cases.

Thanks for help,

Marco

Is this still something valid and re-producible or should we close the ticket as wontfix? At least Vista we can forget because hardly anybody is using it but it the problem affects Windows 7 that's anyther story.

Notes about successful build of GDAL 1.9.1 with MinGW attached to ticket #4624. However, that recipe does not close this ticket because it has an option "OGDI support: no"
