Hi,

an alternative way to EXPORT and --export-all-symbols is to create a
.def file with all the functionnames you want to expose to your users
and link this .def file as the very first file before any .o and .a;
see the ld-docu for command line option 'shared' for more details.

The only thing I can't figure out is how to prevent ld from
additionaly exporting all global variables in the .o an .a files.  Can
anyone more knowledgable give me a hint?


TIA,

andreas
