Care to add and test that?
I've found simplier approach. There is linker option --export-all, which allows to make working DLL without .def files. This I've tested. Probably some eariler version of Mingw32 has this option on by default, and so it was assumed that correct DLLs can be build without any extra effort. Really, .def files are much more flexible thing than just exporting all public symbol as Unix .so files do, but mkdef.pl really does almost same as --export-all. And mkdef.pl needs considerable modification to work correctly with Unix-style Configure and mingw32. Problem is that .def file mentions DLL name which is than used by import libraries to find DLL upon loading. So, this name have to be cryptoeay32-<version>.dll, not just LIBEAY32 as mkdef.pl now generates. In my modified makefiles for 0.9.8 I'm postprocessing def files with perl. This is way too complicated, and doesn't do any better thing than just adding -Wl,--export-all to shlib linker command line for mingw target. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
