GCC Native Ext. Build Not Working on Windows
Closed this issue · 2 comments
I'm really not sure what domain this problem falls within or if any (maybe something I can fix on my own), but I have a native library,
take these two Makefiles:
Makefile.win:
all: odbc.dll
@:
odbc.dll: odbc.obj
gcc -shared -mwindows -o odbc.dll odbc.obj -lodbc32
odbc.obj: odbc.c
gcc -c -mwindows odbc.c -o odbc.obj -lodbc32
.PHONY: all
and Makefile.msvc:
all: odbc.dll
@:
odbc.dll: odbc.obj
cl /LD odbc.obj /link /OUT:odbc.dll /LIBPATH:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.17763.0\um\x86" odbc32.lib
odbc.obj: odbc.c
cl /c odbc.c
.PHONY: all
Both of them work, they both produce "odbc.dll"; Makefile.msvc also produces exp and lib files.
For the GCC approach, I used dumpfile /EXPORTS odbc.dll > odbc.exports and created a DEF file to then create a LIB/EXP file from using the Microsoft lib tool.
This works for GCC, so end result after building I end up with the same files:
- odbc.dll
- odbc.lib
- odbc.exp
The problem is, odbc.dll cannot be loaded by ammer_odbc.hdll (presumably that's where this failure happens). I get this error: src\module.c(321) : FATAL ERROR : Failed to load library ammer_odbc.hdll
Does anyone have experience using GCC built DLLs with Ammer in Windows? I know other platforms require GCC, so I imagine it has to be possible on windows as well.
I'm a C/C++ rookie, in this case I am going to assume that because I installed HL via binaries, it was probably built via the MSVC toolchain.
If I built it via GCC I imagine this should work. Anywho, closing for now.
