This method sounds appealing to me - we could likely auto-generate this file from the master src/libvirt_public.syms file we already have for Linux/Solaris
So this:
`-export-symbols SYMFILE' Tells the linker to export only the symbols listed in SYMFILE. The symbol file should end in `.sym' and must contain the name of one symbol per line. This option has no effect on some platforms. By default all symbols are exported.
does not work for MinGW?
As I understand it [and note: I have *not* tried it] the documentation there is wrong for MinGW. You should pass a *.def file as the parameter when the compiler target [ie. "host"] is Windows.
The libtool code suggests that in addition a .def file is accepted by libtool on Windows hosts, but this is undocumented and the detection is very simplistic: # exporting using user supplied symfile if test "x`$SED 1q $export_symbols`" != xEXPORTS; then # and it's NOT already a .def file. So passing LIBRARY as the first line doesn't work. :-( However, passing a simple one-symbol-per-line file should work. Paolo
