I finally figured out what my problem was. If the name of the library is "USBUtils" it works, if it is "USBDeviceUtils" it doesn't. Actually the max length I can use is 11 characters. That is probably 15 characters including ".dll"
In my config file all filesystems are "win95" The version is "nt40"
Is there any way to configure wine to support longer names?
Thanks,

I'm new to this so please bear with me.
First I edited the Makefile and replaced gcc with winegcc. When I run "make" I get this error when it tries to link:
could not open .def file for kernel32 Error: /usr/bin/winebuild failed. Error: /usr/bin/winewrap failed.
Can you please send me the command that generates this? Just to make sure that we're on the same page, use winegcc (for now) just for building the test application, not the DLL.
Then, I ran ./configure --help and it says that you can use the "CC" var to specify the compiler. I started from scratch, set "export CC=winegcc", then ran configure again. The output looks like this:
checking whether make sets {$MAKE}... yes checking for gcc... winegcc checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
This is very odd. winegcc should be configure friendly (it does work for wxWindows BTW). Hey, what version of Wine are you using? I do hope it's the latest CVS...
I am using an older version 20030618. It's hard to change, other people depend on this particular version and I would have to upgrade several machines. I could try on one machine, but...
A colleague who dealt with similar problems in the past helped me. He added this to Makefile.in
# generate a .def "import library" file from the spec file $(usbutils_dll_DEF): $(usbutils_dll_SPEC_SRCS) Makefile.in $(WINEBUILD) --def $(usbutils_dll_SPEC_SRCS) > $(usbutils_dll_DEF)
Both the .dll.so and the .def go in /usr/lib/wine/wine. Earlier I noticed that there was no .def file. That was our clue.
For the test we added the library to the list of wine dlls in Makefile.in.
It's working.
I'm still a little confused, but I understand much more than a week ago. Thanks.

IIRC, this has been fixed in recent wine snapshots (there's was a buffer too short somewhere). So either upgrade your wine version, or retrofit the fix in your version (as you don't seem to be ready to upgrade).
A+

Eric is right, I've run into the same problem (with visual-mingw) some time ago. He fixed it way back in Sep, 2004, with this patch:

If you can't update to something newer, this patch is trivial to backport in your tree. Please let us know if it helped.
Thanks.
I will try it and tell you if it worked. It may take a couple of weeks since we are frantically preparing for a trade show, then going to the trade show.
