I have the same error than was reported some months ago. I made an extract
to remind the problem

I've gotten the above error message when the DLL is not exporting any
symbols.  Add at least one __declspec(dllexport) attribute, use a .def
file, or -Wl,--export-all-symbols.

I added the -Wl,--export-all-symbols which did not work :(

However, when I used the *.def file it worked. :)
Thanks for the insight!

I also try the Wl solution for the same answer. My problem is that I don't
really know what is a .def file as I come from unix. Could you point me a
doc on this subject ?

thanks in advance
