Hi,
The Cygwin LD program reports a syntax error for an import def file describing
functions to import from a DLL called "VERSION". Other DLL names work - this
problem only occurs when the DLL is named "VERSION". Unfortunately VERSION.DLL
is a standard Windows DLL (included with Windows) and is needed by this build.
Cygwin LD version: "GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.18.50.20080523"
Error reported:
ld: snwvalid/VERSION.def:1: syntax error
ld:snwvalid/VERSION.def: file format not recognized; treating as linker script
ld:snwvalid/VERSION.def:1: syntax error
VERSION.DEF import file (5 lines):
LIBRARY VERSION.dll
IMPORTS
VerQueryValueA = VERSION.VerQueryValueA
GetFileVersionInfoA = VERSION.GetFileVersionInfoA
GetFileVersionInfoSizeA = VERSION.GetFileVersionInfoSizeA
Replacing the string "VERSION" with "xVERSION" in the 4 places in this file
allows the linker to complete (although now referring to a non-existent
xVERSION.DLL file).
