Thanks for the reassurance about cl.exe. Now how about making dlls at
the command line.
The situation is this: The work is actually for liblouis and
liblouisutdl, which will be used as native libraries in the Java-encoded
BrailleBlaster project. We have been trying to use MinGW-msys, but it
has been very troublesome. I want to explore the Microsoft compilers as
an alternate. I will have a directory containing a bunch of C modules. I
want to combine them into a dll. What additional files do I have to
create? What should be in the nmake file? Can I specify 32 or 64 bit
compilation?
