Hi,
I had a patch which enabled stub generation for building native dlls last year (http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2003/07/0176.html), that part was not accepted for the same reasons that are being mentioned in this thread.
I would like to point out again that the VC linker will not generate a correct dll unless the ordinal stubs are present. Other native linkers may have the same problem. It seems very silly to me that we can't use M$'s own compiler/linker to build valid dlls (especially since these tools can be downloaded for free these days). M$ defined the dll format we are using, after all.
If this is intentional, perhaps we should document it somewhere?
Cheers, Jon
