DLL's with GNAT 3.09 for Windows 95

DLL's with GNAT 3.09 for Windows 95

[Joachim Schroeer]

Hello, 

I have a simple question.
How can one generate DLL's from '.o' files produced by GNAT 3.09 on Windows
95?

Thanks for help.

See <http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~fjh/gnu-win32/how-to-build-dlls.html>.
I've only tried this for C programs (and Mercury programs) but I think
it should work for Ada too.  You will probably need to make sure your
DLL does not export any global variables.  The web page cited above has
a solution to the global variable problem for C programs, using
#define, but I suspect that it may be a bit harder to solve for Ada.
