No. There are workarounds like in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/225432/export-all-symbols-when-creating-a-dll but it's too much work. Basically you want to define a macro that resolves to __declspec(dllexport) when building the DLL and to nothing when only using libraries headers. -- Gruesse, Jakub -----Original Message----- From: CMake [mailto:cmake-boun...@cmake.org] On Behalf Of Romain Leguay Sent: Donnerstag, 17.

Because, I try this code with mingw (32 and 64) and it's working perfectly. Is there some option to export automatically some methods without using __declspec(dllexport)?
