Hello,

The def file was always a bit of a mystery to me, since you do not specify
it on the command line but the linker just finds it magically. I much prefer
the import/export mechanism.

Here is what I typically did when I still did some Win32 programming:

Add the following code in your header file:

#if defined(_WIN32)
#if defined(mylib_EXPORTS)
  #define MYLIB_EXPORT __declspec( dllexport )
 #else
  #define MYLIB_EXPORT __declspec( dllimport )
 #endif
#else
  #define MYLIB_EXPORT
#endif

Then every symbol you want to use outside the shared lib export like this:

class MYLIB_EXPORT someClass {
...
};

and

MYLIB_EXPORT void someFunc();

and so on.

Hope this helps.

Andy
