When I try to link this type of dll's, I get bunch of undefined symbols, as expected. What one would do in this case, if referenced symbols where in another shared library (dll), is to link against that dll's export library (.dll.a) But they are in EXECUTABLE, meaning that I cannot make a export library... Can somebody please point me in right direction?
