They are used to build bootstrap import libraries for these -DLLs in advance before they have actually been built. This is -necessary because Evolution's shared libraries have circular -dependencies, and one can't have unresolved symbols when building -shared libraries on Win32. - -These .def files aren't used when building the actual DLLs in -question. They are only used to produce bootstrap import libraries for -them. Thus a .def file for libFOO here doesn't list all the actual -entry points in libFOO, only those that are used by other DLLs that -are built before libFOO. When the actual libFOO is built, we rely on -the GNU linker's auto-export to export all public symbols. |
