Subject: building glasgow under windows

Hi,

I am desperately trying to get glasgow to compile under
windows/vc++ 8.
Everything seems fine until I try to build the plug-ins
project. The
plug-ins.dll is generated fine but no plug-ins.lib file is
generated
during linking. It seems that the generated dll file does
not export any
symbols (e.g. via dllexport). I briefly looked at dll_api.h
and there
are a bunch of #defines I could pass to the build (e.g.
_USRDLL) but I
generally wasn't sure what to do.

Because there is no plug-ins.lib file, different other
builds, including
 plugin-blur and the main glasgow executable are not built
(linking
error: missing plug-ins.lib).

I was curious if you could offer any tip how to get the
latest cvs
checkout to build under windows.

Appreciate your help,
Philipp

Philipp,

The way dll_api.h works is with the right defines in the
project file it 
will export or import the right things. The dll_api.h file
is way too 
complicated and is something I've been cleaning up. It used
to be worse. 
The issue is each module uses its own defines instead of a
simple 
system-wide strategy. This is a remnant of the code
disorganization 
before I did the re-org.

If you look inside the vcpp7 project files with a text
editor you should 
be able to see what needs to be defined in your vcpp8 files.
If you're 
doing that already let me know.
