Summary0009997: .def files are not passed to the mingw linker
DescriptionThe .def files set in the source files for a shared library is correctly passed to the msvc linker through /DEF:..., but they are trimmed off when using the mingw ld linker.
The mingw ld linker follows the rules specified in .def files passed as source inputs.
Additional InformationThere is a workaround:
using, under IF(MINGW), LINKER_FLAGS of the style "-Wl,myfile.def" in order to get the .def file included.
TagsNo tags attached.

 This was mostly addressed by the fixes for issue 0009613:

   http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=024d05ad [^]
   http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=0db2c850 [^]

The only thing that is missing is the value of CMAKE_LINK_DEF_FILE_FLAG in the platform files for the GNU toolchain on Windows. I've added the setting and enabled the test for this toolchain:

  http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=6a61a8a5 [^]

One can work around the problem for any CMake 2.8.[01234] with this code:

  # This platform information is missing in CMake <= 2.8.4.
  if(NOT CMAKE_LINK_DEF_FILE_FLAG AND "${CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID}" STREQUAL "GNU")
    set(CMAKE_LINK_DEF_FILE_FLAG "-Wl,")
  endif()
