Is this some one-size-fits-all solution for all DLL pains on Cygwin?
I'd be glad if it was, but apparently I'm out of luck. I'm trying to
compile OpenSP (a SGML parser) using a DLL. Building the DLL works on
other platforms. I tried your suggestion above, but I get:

mhoenicka AT GIRCH19 ~/prog/OpenSP-1.5pre5/lib/.libs
$ gcc -shared -o libosp.dll -Wl,--out-implib=libosp.dll.a -Wl,--export-all -Wl,
--enable-auto-image-base -Wl,--output-def=libosp_.def ../*.o
Cannot export _bss_end__: symbol not defined
Cannot export _bss_start__: symbol not defined
Cannot export _data_end__: symbol not defined
Cannot export _data_start__: symbol not defined
Creating library file: libosp.dll.a
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I've seen some messages about the "symbol not defined" error but none
of these brought me closer to a dll. Any additional ideas?

regards,
Markus
