Hi Alexandre,
Ivan found that on Windows .exe's can export functions, just like DLLs. He needs this for his work on ntoskrnl.exe.
To support this, we need a bit of an interface change to winebuild. I've put together a simple patch to see if you are OK with such a change. If so, I'll finish it, and modify winegcc accordingly.
So, thing will change as follows:
OLD: winebuild --dll=mystuff.spec NEW: winebuild --dll -E mystuff.spec
OLD: winebuild --def=mystuff.spec NEW: winebuild --def -E mystuff.spec
OLD: winebuild --exe=myprog.exe NEW: winebuild --exe -F myprog.exe
to build an .exe with arbitrary exports, we would do:
winebuild --exe -F myprog.exe -E mystuff.spec
