5075 _exporting DLL symbols_
5076 The cygwin/mingw `ld' has several ways to export symbols for dll's.
5101 should be exported when a dll is created. Usually it is
5102 named `<dll name>.def' and is added as any other object file
5106 gcc -o <output> <objectfiles> <dll name>.def
5112 `xyz.dll':
5114 LIBRARY "xyz.dll" BASE=0x20000000
5120 another_foo = abc.dll.afoo
5123 This example defines a DLL with a non-default base address
5127 and treating it as an alias for `afoo' exported from the DLL
5128 `abc.dll'. The final symbol `var1' is declared to be a data
5132 name of the output DLL. If `<name>' does not include a suffix,
5133 the default library suffix, `.DLL' is appended.
5155 Declares `<name1>' as an exported symbol from the DLL, or
5158 `<external-name>' in the DLL `<module-name>'. Optionally,
5164 `NONAME': Do not put the symbol name in the DLL's export
5184 `PRIVATE': Put the symbol in the DLL's export table, but do
5188 using the GNU ld extension of linking directly to the DLL
5194 While linking a shared dll, `ld' is able to create a DEF file
5199 source code itself, so that when building the DLL each symbol
5205 All such symbols will be exported from the DLL. If, however,
5206 any of the object files in the DLL contain symbols decorated
5228 The standard Windows dll format supports data imports from dlls
5277 including data symbols, to a dll without the usage of any import
5281 import lib, each function or variable exported from the dll is
5288 Linking directly to a dll uses no extra command-line switches
5292 order to force ld to select the dll instead of an import library.

5298 xxx.dll.a
5301 cygxxx.dll (*)
5302 libxxx.dll
5303 xxx.dll
5307 (*) Actually, this is not `cygxxx.dll' but in fact is
5308 `<prefix>xxx.dll', where `<prefix>' is set by the `ld' option
5309 `--dll-search-prefix=<prefix>'. In the case of cygwin, the
5310 standard gcc spec file includes `--dll-search-prefix=cyg', so in
5311 effect we actually search for `cygxxx.dll'.

5327 libxxx.dll.a (in case of dll's)
5330 Linking directly to a dll without using the import library can be
5333 1. Use the dll directly by adding the `bin' path to the link line
5336 However, as the dll's often have version numbers appended to their
5337 names (`cygncurses-5.dll') this will often fail, unless one
5341 2. Create a symbolic link from the dll to a file in the `lib'
5344 making the app/dll.
5346 ln -s bin/cygxxx.dll lib/[cyg|lib|]xxx.dll[.a]
5356 cygxxx-5.dll
5358 libxxx.dll.a -> ../bin/cygxxx-5.dll
