thanks for taking a look at it. unfortunately, I couldn't really test your patches. when run, roughly 4/5 of the .so files did would generate this type of error ../../tools/strip_imports libwinspool.drv.so objcopy: styEor1D: File truncated
Strange. Could you try using 'strip' instead of 'objcopy' in strip_imports? (Only there, in localize_imports it must be objcopy.)
tested with binutils 2.9.1 and 2.10.1 and I get the same error... even when changing objcopy by strip did some strace on the operation, and it seems that there's some mixup in the section reading / writing
From a pure conceptual point of view, the build process definitively grows more and more complex (I'm not sure Alexandre would accept another tool or an extension to winebuild for it). However, if I got what you intend correctly, it means that an import symbol would be defined as:
- no trace in stabs
- listed in .dynamic section, as a local symbol.
No, I mean no trace in stabs *and* no dynamic symbol either.
[long explanation deleted] thanks, that what I thought at first, but got abused by the first outputs made out of the patch...
However, my method has admittedly also a serious disadvantage: it makes heavy use of GNU-specifc tools (and apparently even there are version problems ...). :-(
I'm not sure it's a version issue. looks more I have something broken somewhere... still have to figure out where :-( however, it would be great if someone else could try Ulrich's patch to see if I'm the only one with BAAAAAAAAD results...
A+
