# Makefile.DLLs, version 0.4.

# Contributed by Fergus Henderson.

# This Makefile contains rules for creating DLLs on Windows using gnu-win32.

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------#

# This rule creates a `.def' file, which lists the symbols that are exported
# from the DLL.  We use `nm' to get a list of all the exported text (`T')
# symbols and data symbols -- including uninitialized data (`B'),
# initialized data (`D'), read-only data (`R'), and common blocks (`C').

	echo EXPORTS > $@
	nm $< | grep '^........ [BCDRT] _' | sed 's/[^_]*_//' >> $@

# We need to use macros to access global data:
# the user of the DLL must refer to `foo' as `(*__imp_foo)'.
# This rule creates a `_globals.h' file, which contains macros
# for doing this.

# This rule creates the export object file (`foo.exp') which contains the
# jump table array; this export object file becomes part of the DLL. 
# This rule also creates the import library (`foo_dll.a') which contains small
# stubs for all the functions exported by the DLL which jump to them via the
# jump table.  Executables that will use the DLL must be linked against this
# stub library.
