Hi Noah,
Yes, trying to use the create lib$(NAME).exp from $(SHLIB_EXPORTS) when it exists was my first idea, too.
However, I do not master (or I forgot) this kind of "if...." in a Makefile and I was unable to find a solution by reading Makefile manuals or by searching for a similar example. So, I did it in an easier (to me!) and quicker way: merge with a new command line in the Makefile rule.
Now that we have a clear understanding of what is happenning, I may have a deeper look at a clean Makefile solution. However, if you know how to manage this, I would really appreciate some example. I'm asking my colleague too if he can help me here.
Thx
Tony

Thanks; that makes sense. Those files moved to libpgcommon_shlib.a. The
$(MKLDEXPORT) call sees symbols in the .o files, but it doesn't see symbols
pulled in via libpg*.a. Let's fix this by having Makefile.shlib skip
$(MKLDEXPORT) when a $(SHLIB_EXPORTS) file is available and have it instead
create lib$(NAME).exp from $(SHLIB_EXPORTS). That's more correct than
merging, and it's simpler. Would you like to try that?
