[Gpg4win-devel] Syntax error when linking with some .def files

[Andre Heinecke]

Hi,
I just ran into a problem building gpg4win on an Ubunut 13.4. The problem is 
that libtool adds an EXPORTS line in the first line when parsing def files which 
do not already have EXPORTS in their first line. This happens for at least w32-
pth-2.0.2 and adns-1.4-g10-2. and was already described on the gcrypt-devel 
mailing list: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gcrypt-devel/2013-March/002119.html

On debian this was not a problem as the old deffile parser from ld (binutils 
2.22) apparently accepted that double EXPORTS line. But the ld in ubuntu 13.4 
(binutils 2.23.2) rejects it as a syntax error. 

I'm not sure what the best fix for this is, should all .def files be changed so 
that their first line reads EXPORTS or should we try to fix libtool so that it 
not only parses the first line? (Which seems wrong to me)

Regards,
Andre
