You are welcome, but this has truly veered into the realms of the off-topic. So in order to pull it back on track, let's do a 'Gendankexperiment' and suppose neither you or I ever mentioned the flag "-mno-cygwin". Let's suppose instead that you managed to compile Tendra++ and want to use Cygwin's GNU g++ to create a DLL with an import library that could be used by the other compiler. > >Ok, the .def file then looks like this: > >EXPORTS > _ZN7MyClass8getValueEv @1 > _ZN7MyClass8setValueEi @2 > _ZN7MyClassC1Ev @3 > _ZN7MyClassC2Ev @4 > _ZN7MyClassD1Ev @5 > _ZN7MyClassD2Ev @6 As CGF pointed out earlier, g++ and your other compiler decorate functions differently, but you could create an exports aliasing table in the DLL: """ LIBRARY mylibrary DESCRIPTION "Blah, blah." EXPORTS getValueEv = _ZN7MyClass8getValueEv @1 . . . Ev2 = _ZN7MyClassD2Ev @6 """ This is GNU binutils' equivalent to private function declarations in that other win32 compiler. Now, I can't say this will work for you, but it works for a couple of things I use everyday... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
