The reason it says no is that the programmer hasn't added in the necessary information in the source package to support dll
building.

The "no" is returned by libtool. Changing it to yes will not result in a functional dll. You would have to go through the source and
alter all the data-only exports to be explicitly exported a la MS .DLL source code..

have a search for Gary Vaughn on this lists archives.
