Hi folks, I'm confused about the files that dllwrap creates. On Unix (where I've been programming forever) all you have to do is create a .so shared library. But dllwrap ends up creating a .a file, a .def file, and a .dll file, yet I can build a program that links to, e.g., mylib.dll, with only "-L. -lmylib", *wihtout* having the .def or .a available. So where and when are the .a and .def files needed?
Also, I read in the various docs (dllhelpers etc) that you have to compile the file that has DllMain using either "extern 'C'" around the DllMain function, or make it a C file rather than a c++ file and compile with gcc, yet it worked for me as a c++ file without the extern, is this new behavior or is something going to blow up on me later?
