Re: Dll problem with NT -nmo-cygwin

[Torsten Iversen <torsten at cs dot auc dot dk>]

I got it working by modifying the Makefile, which, under closer scrutiny,
seemed wrong. Sorry if this mail looks like shit, but the dll build
procedure unfortunalely requires very long command lines :-/

The -shared was missing in the last call to gcc, and I also realized that
-s really means -shared in the cygwin online help for building dlls,
since there is no -s mentioned in the gcc man page.

New Makefile section for building the dll:

file.dll: file.o
 	gcc -shared -mno-cygwin -Wall -Werror -Wl,--base-file,file.base -o
file.dll file.o -Wl,-e,_DllEntry@12
 	dlltool --base-file file.base --def file.def --output-exp file.exp --dllname file.dll
 	gcc -shared -mno-cygwin -Wall -Werror -Wl,--base-file,file.base -o
file.dll file.o -Wl,-e_DllEntry@12
 	dlltool --base-file file.base --def file.def --output-exp file.exp --dllname file.dll
 	gcc -shared -mno-cygwin -Wall -Werror -Wl,file.exp
-o file.dll file.o -Wl,-e,_DllEntry@12
