This means that, with the introduction of .def files in wine, porting software (especially C++) with winelib has become considerably more troublesome than before. Whatever we think about dllexport, it is widely used by Windows programmers. binutils with PE support can be used to extract a .def file with all symbols from an object file right now. Unfortunately, binutils on most standard Linux distributions do not support PE. But it may be acceptable to demand that winelib developers recompile their binutils. Btw Dimi, is their any specific reason why winewrap/winegcc are written in C rather than in some scripting language like bash or perl? I'd think that winewrap/winegcc scripts would be much easier to maintain and customize than the current C code, and would actually be the adequate tool for the job.
