| [photran] I want to create a DLL, but Photran names the output file with .EXE extension |
|
I am using Eclipse(Mars) with MinGW, "GNU Fortran Compiler" and "GNU Fortran Linker" to build a Windows DLL from Fortran code. This is working okay for Debug configuration, but when I switch to creating a Release build, it is producing
an EXE file rather than a DLL. I checked the Linker settings, and -shared is specified. I compared my settings between Debug and Release, and they are the same.
Linker options: * Debug: -L <lib file> -v -shared -Wl,--output-def=<def file> * Release: -L <lib file> -v -shared -Wl,--output-def=<def file> "Expert settings" (Command line pattern) are also the same ... * Debug: ${COMMAND} ${FLAGS} ${OUTPUT_FLAG} ${OUTPUT_PREFIX}${OUTPUT} ${INPUTS} * Release: ${COMMAND} ${FLAGS} ${OUTPUT_FLAG} ${OUTPUT_PREFIX}${OUTPUT} ${INPUTS} After the build, I looked in the Console window, and I am seeing the switch ‘-o’ ‘M92Fort.exe’. I don’t know where this is coming from, but it’s obviously the reason why the linker is producing an exe file rather than a dll. I tried explicitly adding -o M92Fort.dll in the “Linker flags” box on the “Settings/Linker/Miscellaneous” pane, but it only appends that to the -o M92Fort.exe switch that’s already there, and still produces an exe file rather than
a dll. What could I be doing wrong? |
