问题
Have ld v2.23.2 from mingw-builds 4.8.0 32bit suite. In my project in a directory there are libs: libitpp.a and libitpp.dll.a. The first is simply static lib, the second is import library to correspondent shared lib (DLL on Windows).
I tell linker to link there libs in following form: -L$$ITPP_DIR/libs -litpp and the linker always chooses the second lib (libitpp.dll.a), but I want the first (libitpp.a), because "-litpp" matches it exactly.
At explicit instruction: $$ITPP_DIR/libs/libitpp.a all Ok.
What are the rules linker use to find libraries at -l"lib" instruction?
Thanks in advance.

This is probably a duplicate question, but rather than berate you for that, I'll just give you the documentation link again: https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/WIN32.html#WIN32
The relevant info will be found under the subhead "direct linking to a dll"; notice that ld will always prefer libfoo.dll.a to libfoo.a when both are present, unless you specify -Bstatic for -lfoo, or more generally -static for all such ambiguous -l specifications.
