ReSent-Subject: [ANN] a2dll: An utility (to help) to convert static library
into Win32 DLL
ReSent-Message-ID: <Pine DOT GSO DOT 4 DOT 21L1 DOT 0004160057030 DOT 22601 AT swift DOT cs DOT unc DOT edu>
Hello gnu-win32,
In the preparation for libtool assault, I wrote scripts which
helps build DLLs from static libraries, by motives of my old howto
(http://www.is.lg.ua/~paul/devel/static2dll_howto.txt).
From doc:
a2dll is shell script (see requirements) to automotize process of
converting existing static libraries (produced by gnu-win32 tools, of
course) into DLL. First of all, yes it's possible: if you have binary
static distribution of some library (i.e. library itself and its headers),
that's all you need to convert it to DLL and use in your programs. Read
HOWTO for underlying magic. So, you may not waste time if
you need DLL: just grab existing static distribution and convert. Also,
you may use it to build Win32 DLL of your library. Also, until
GNU libtool will allow seamless building of Win32 DLLs, you may build
static lib (what libtool of course supports) and then convert it to
DLL.
