------- Comment #13 from js-gcc at webkeks dot org 2009-06-09 19:27 ------- Oh, for the record: cygwin now has gcc4 imported and they have libobjc as a shared .dll file. Using their dll, it works. So this means libobjc works with dll files if it is a dll file itself. But unfortunately, it's not possible to build it as a dll for mingw32 it seems.
Still, I think there should be either both (.dll and .a) or the .a file should be able to load other dlls. Having only a .dll would mean that every app depends on libobjc.dll, which most likely no windows user will have. That's as if every C++ app would require gcc's libstdc++.dll on Windows. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39465
