OK. Here is the beginnings of a joystick test. I want to use
c_dfDIJoystick2 which is defined as extern in dinput.h and exists in
dinput.dll.so but is not exported. It's also not exported in windows
dinput.dll but it is in dinput.lib.
Are you really sure it is not exported by dinput.dll? The usual tools
list all the exported *functions* but I'm not sure they list exported
variables. You seem to think that dinput.lib is a static library which
is very doubtful.
In PSDK/MinGW W32API the [lib]dinput[8].[a/lib] is really a combination
of static and export library. It contains the
DIDATAFORMAT/DIOBJECTDATAFORMAT defintions for joystick (c_dfDIJoystick,
c_dfDIJoystick2), keyboard (c_dfDIKeyboard) and mouse (c_dfDIMouse,
c_dfDIMouse2) that are compiled to every application using it.
