Re: using dll in am

Uff, I finally got it. It's very simple. I was trying to use dlltool
all the time, but the solution is much simplier - just use directly
the .lib file with gcc and it will handle it. So easy that it didn't
cross my mind:)

gcc "....." atomrtget.o atomrtree.o atomrtscan.o atomrtcostestimate.o rtreewrapper.lib

Thanks,
David

MH> If I get you right, you have *two* DLLs? One in mingw that in turn loads
