Description
Turns out that libtool 2.4.6 unconditionally uses nm instead of emxexp to generate the list of exports for a DLL. And while nm is supposed to work (and works with some projects) in some cases it looses symbols to export. One such project is glib
. This looks like a complex regression compared to 2.4.2 that works as expected (uses emxexp).

Testing shows that nm
is indeed used only when -export-symbols-regex
is given and emxexp
is used otherwise. So this ticket is essentially a duplicate of #74 (where it was already tested, frankly saying). Closing it.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Note that loosing symbols to export seems to be related to presence of
-export-symbols-regex
in which case it means that this to some part is a duplicate of #74. However, this really depends of whethernm
is used instead ofemxexp
only when-export-symbols-regex
is present or always in 2.4.6. Some more testing is needed.
