Can you eliminate this restruction?
No problem to add support for .def files. I never had to use them so far, so maybe it will need a few iterations to get right. As for flag option, I'd prefer to make the filtering, otherwise it's very easy to deeply mess up some command lines, and can make hbmk2 fall out of control of things. The general concept is that hbmk2 deals with assembling the major components of the cmdline and user user is given a chance to supply additional flags only. Hence the name "-?flag=" and "?flags=" of these options. > The next thing is building DLL and passing some link time parameters > which are used with standalone EXE files.

Same applies as above, I'm in the dark about OLE servers, so I'll either ask, or pls tell me what's specifically missing/needed. So far I understand -hbdynvm would disable -nohblib option. Can you help finding out, what's the best 1 description for -hbdynvm mode? -hbdyn is "create dynamic library". Maybe "create dynamic library with Harbour VM"?
