Known problems
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- Linking dynamic libraries currently fails on Windows. So probably
- other CaosDB libraries which make use of libcaosdb also will not
- build. This is a known bug and we hope to fix this in the next
- release. See
- `#34 <https://gitlab.indiscale.com/caosdb/src/caosdb-cpplib/-/issues/34>`__
+- Building the unit tests on Windows currently fails with linker errors. See
+ `#90 <https://gitlab.indiscale.com/caosdb/src/caosdb-cpplib/-/issues/90>`__
