Re: [SOSlib-discuss] SOSlib Windows build

[John L. <jl...@he...>]

Hi Rainer,

We are attempting a build under mingw using the precompiled distribution 
of libsbml 2.3.4 (we tried to build it from source under mingw and it 
failed with dll export errors). We are getting dllexport errors with 
soslib as well. I've attached the log of the build. Do you have any 
insights?

Thanks

John
