5078 _exporting DLL symbols_
5079 The cygwin/mingw `ld' has several ways to export symbols for dll's.
5104 should be exported when a dll is created. Usually it is
5105 named `<dll name>.def' and is added as any other object file
5109 gcc -o <output> <objectfiles> <dll name>.def
5115 `xyz.dll':
5117 LIBRARY "xyz.dll" BASE=0x20000000
5123 another_foo = abc.dll.afoo
5126 This example defines a DLL with a non-default base address
5130 and treating it as an alias for `afoo' exported from the DLL
5131 `abc.dll'. The final symbol `var1' is declared to be a data
5135 name of the output DLL. If `<name>' does not include a suffix,
5136 the default library suffix, `.DLL' is appended.
5158 Declares `<name1>' as an exported symbol from the DLL, or
5161 `<external-name>' in the DLL `<module-name>'. Optionally,
5167 `NONAME': Do not put the symbol name in the DLL's export
5187 `PRIVATE': Put the symbol in the DLL's export table, but do
5191 using the GNU ld extension of linking directly to the DLL
5197 While linking a shared dll, `ld' is able to create a DEF file
5202 source code itself, so that when building the DLL each symbol
5208 All such symbols will be exported from the DLL. If, however,
5209 any of the object files in the DLL contain symbols decorated
5231 The standard Windows dll format supports data imports from dlls
5280 including data symbols, to a dll without the usage of any import
5284 import lib, each function or variable exported from the dll is
5291 Linking directly to a dll uses no extra command-line switches
5295 order to force ld to select the dll instead of an import library.

5301 xxx.dll.a
5304 cygxxx.dll (*)
5305 libxxx.dll
5306 xxx.dll
5310 (*) Actually, this is not `cygxxx.dll' but in fact is
5311 `<prefix>xxx.dll', where `<prefix>' is set by the `ld' option
5312 `--dll-search-prefix=<prefix>'. In the case of cygwin, the
5313 standard gcc spec file includes `--dll-search-prefix=cyg', so in
5314 effect we actually search for `cygxxx.dll'.
5319 conflicts among dll's built for the various win32/un*x
5320 environments, so that (for example) two versions of a zlib dll
5324 applications and dll's and a `lib' directory for the import
5328 cygxxx.dll
5330 libxxx.dll.a (in case of dll's)
5333 Linking directly to a dll without using the import library can be
5336 1. Use the dll directly by adding the `bin' path to the link line
5339 However, as the dll's often have version numbers appended to their
5340 names (`cygncurses-5.dll') this will often fail, unless one
5344 2. Create a symbolic link from the dll to a file in the `lib'
5347 making the app/dll.
5349 ln -s bin/cygxxx.dll lib/[cyg|lib|]xxx.dll[.a]
5359 cygxxx-5.dll
5361 libxxx.dll.a -> ../bin/cygxxx-5.dll
