You are welcome, but this has truly veered into the realms of the
off-topic.

So in order to pull it back on track, let's do a 'Gendankexperiment'
and suppose neither you or I ever mentioned the flag "-mno-cygwin".
Let's suppose instead that you managed to compile Tendra++ and want to
use Cygwin's GNU g++ to create a DLL with an import library that could
be used by the other compiler.

As CGF pointed out earlier, g++ and your other compiler decorate
functions differently, but you could create an exports aliasing table
in the DLL:

"""
LIBRARY mylibrary
DESCRIPTION "Blah, blah."
EXPORTS
	getValueEv = _ZN7MyClass8getValueEv @1
		.
		.
		.
	Ev2        = _ZN7MyClassD2Ev @6
"""

This is GNU binutils' equivalent to private function declarations in
that other win32 compiler.

Now, I can't say this will work for you, but it works for a couple of
things I use everyday...
