This is what I finally got with the info in the dllhelpers package. I
did those steps to build the dll:

$ dlltool --export-all --output-def libosp_.def ../*.o

$ dlltool --dllname libosp.dll --def libosp_.def --output-lib libosp.a

$ dllwrap --driver-name g++ --def libosp_.def -o libosp.dll ../*.o --dllname li
bosp.dll

strip libosp.dll
cp libosp.dll /usr/local/bin

And then I built one of the SP apps:
$ c++ -g -O2 -o onsgmls nsgmls.o SgmlsEventHandler.o RastEventHandler.o StringS
et.o nsgmls_inst.o ../lib/.libs/libosp.a

This gets me pretty close to what I need. onsgmls runs properly and
creates all output that I expect. But instead of exiting gracefully I
get a popup reading:

  The instruction at "0xWhatever" referenced memory at
  "0xSomething". The memory could not be "read".

  Click on OK to terminate the application.

I'd appreciate any hints as to what this means for the lib creation or
the app creation steps.

regards,
Markus
