Re: cygwin build failure

Hi,

Related to the definition of __DLL_IMPORT below, the cygwin port of
glib/gmodule just does the following:

#define G_MODULE_IMPORT extern
#ifdef G_PLATFORM_WIN32
# define G_MODULE_EXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
#else /* !G_PLATFORM_WIN32 */
# define G_MODULE_EXPORT
#endif /* !G_PLATFORM_WIN32 */

Also, it doesn't make any distinction whether you are building a DLL or not.

The following example has been tested and it works (I've done the
example without gmodule, as we wouldn't want to use that within
postgresql anyways):

dll.h:
extern void foo();

dll.c:
#include "dll.h"

__declspec(dllexport) void foo() {
return;
}

main.c:
#include "dll.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
foo();
return 0;
}

This is with recent GCC (3.3.3 on my system), but it probably also works
with older GCC versions.

Don't know if this information is useful in simplying things...
