[Mingw-users] Definition is marked dllimport

[Tony <ve...@ho...>]

Hello!

I need to forward this question to Mingw list because of specific
compiler question.
I'm compiling Fox-toolkit as DLL.

Static is compiled and linked successfully.

DLL is compiled with
-DFOXDLL
-DFOXDLL_EXPORTS
Files are generated: libFox.a, libFox.def and Fox.dll

But compilation of projects (with -DFOXDLL, of course) brings messages such as:

fox-1.1.53/include/FXString.h:464: error: function `
   void FX::swap(FX::FXString&, FX::FXString&)' definition is marked dllimport.

...and others for
  FXSize.h
  FXPoint.h
  FXRectangle.h

The above swap function is this from the String.h:
  friend FXAPI void swap(FXString& a,FXString& b){ FXchar *t=a.str; a.str=b.str; b.str=t; }

This is friend and inline.
So, it will be linked at client code, so why it complains?
Other compilers seems to work.
What options I need to pass to Mingw?
Or what modifications must be done in Fox-toolkit itself (I'll send them to
fox)?


Thanks in advance.
