Re: Problem compiling DLL

I don't think compiling to .dll works with gcj.
Search through the archives a bit, I think this has been discussed a
few times in the past.

I am able to compile to DLL with older builds of gcj.

Marco's JavaNativeCompiler 0.7 has a gcj 4.1.1 build that works:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=169793&package_id=193667



Mohan's 4.02 build works too: http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc_mingw.htm

Yeah, this is broken in newer versions. Someone - sorry I even forgot the name - had (a year, half a year ago?) a ready patch that adds DWARF exception handling, your requested DLL support and building GCJ as DLL to mingw. As far as I know, he posted the patch to the gcc-patches list and didn't really get a reaction. Therefore the patch... well... went forgotten? It's really a shame...
Funny thing is, the work is still requested a lot. Google summer of code 2007 even had one project (I think it's dwarf support) that already exists in the mentioned patch.
