Not only that, there are also things like register functions etc. But we should definitely be able to build standard Winelib dlls with a .def file, this shouldn't be too hard to add.
Glad to hear that, we do need to support it to add meaningful DLL build support to winegcc.
It will probably require some tweaking of the winebuild command line options though, --spec and --def are going to be confusing if we also accept .def files as input.
Indeed, maybe we can rename --spec to just --lib (or --implib), as we are in fact creating an import library...
[snip question about linking to a PE DLL]
Yes that should work.
So for this to work (say we have a MyStuff.DLL), I would add a -lMyStuff, and I'd have to have a MyStuff.DEF (?.def?) and MySfuff.DLL (?.dll?) into my -L dirs?
