[Mingw-users] DLL questions

[Gisle V. <gi...@bg...>]

I've some questions regarding building DLLs with MingW32. I have the following in
my makefile:

-----------------------------------
..
CFLAGS += -shared -D_DLL
OBJ_DIR = MingW32_obj_dll
LIBS   = -lwsock32

define build_dll
  dllwrap --mno-cygwin --def $(DEF_FILE) --implib $(OBJ_DIR)/libwpcap.a \
            -s -o $(OBJ_DIR)/wpcap.dll $(OBJS) $(LIBS)
endef

all: $(OBJ_DIR) $(TARGETS)

$(TARGETS): $(OBJS) $(DEF_FILE)
    $(build_dll)
..
---------------------------------

1. Do I strictly need a .def-file? My understanding is that if I omit it, all non-static
   functions will be exported. If I have a .def-file only those specified will be exported.
   Is that correct?

2. How do I add version info to the .dll? If I add " VERSION 1.01234" to the .def-file,
   dllwrap prints "VERSION 1.668" (!?). I guess it's interpreting it as octal...
