[Dev-C++] Using gcc -shared instead of dllwrap

[Mario B. <st...@vi...>]

Hi all,

I have seen everywhere that the use of dllwrap is deprecated and that we should use gcc -shared to
create dlls. However, I cannot find a way to tell Dev-cpp to do that. Putting "gcc -shared" in the
dllwrap entry of Tools/Compiler Options/Programs works but the generated linker line is not correct:

gcc.exe -shared --output-def ../../../.libs/libgeotiff.def --implib ../../../.libs/libgeotiff.a
(objects) -Wl,-output-def libgeotiff.def,-out-implib libgeotiff.a  -o ../../../.libs/geotiff.dll

The -Wl options should replace the --output-def and --implib and should precede everything. I can't
figure out how and from where Dev-cpp adds those options. Besides hacking the Makefile.win directly,
I don't how it can be done.

Any thoughts?
