Thank you, Selva. After banging my head against the keyboard for the last 10 hours, only to find out I disposed the very solution you and David suggested because of a minor glitch not related to libtool and automake, I finally got it sorted out.

However, I am totally new with MinGW and would need some help. How do you tell the OpenVPN's build process to create a DLL file, not an EXE? As with gcc mingw takes -shared option to create dll. But I guess you want to use autotools. If so: In configure.ac <http://configure.ac> add "LT_INIT([win32-dll])" and a barebones Makefile.am would be lib_LTLIBRARIES = libtest.la <http://libtest.la> libtest_la_LDFLAGS = -no-undefined -avoid-version libtest_la_SOURCES = test.c libtest_la_CFLAGS = --std=c99 Run autoreconf -iv; ./configure; make and will produce libtest.dll in ./.libs/ I believe all symbols are exported by default. Adding "-export-symbols symbol-file" may be an easy way to customize it. Selva
